Abstract
BACKGROUND Bivalent RSV prefusion F subunit vaccine (RSVpreF), comprised of equal quantities of stabilized prefusion F antigens from the major circulating subgroups (RSV A, RSV B), is licensed for prevention of RSV-associated lower respiratory tract illness (LRTI) in older adults and for maternal vaccination for prevention of RSV-associated LRTI in infants. To support licensure and large-scale manufacturing, this lot consistency study was conducted to demonstrate equivalence in immunogenicity across 3 RSVpreF lots. METHODS This phase 3, multicenter, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, randomized (1:1:1:1), double-blind study evaluated immunogenicity, safety, and tolerability of RSVpreF in healthy 18-49-year-old adults. Participants received a single 120-µg injection of 1 of 3RSVpreF lots or placebo. Geometric mean ratio (GMR) of RSV serum 50 % neutralizing geometric mean titers obtained 1 month after vaccination were compared between each vaccine lot for RSV A and RSV B, separately. Equivalence between lots was defined using a 1.5-fold criterion (GMR 95 % CIs for every lot pair within the 0.667-1.5 interval). Safety and tolerability were assessed. RESULTS Of 992participants vaccinated, 948 were included in the evaluable immunogenicity population. All 3 RSVpreF lots elicited strong immune responses, meeting the 1.5-fold equivalence criterion for all between-lot comparisons for both RSV A and RSV B. Across the 3 lots, RSV A and RSV B 50 % neutralizing geometric mean titers substantially increased from baseline (RSV A, 1671-1795; RSV B 1358-1429) to 1 month after RSVpreF vaccination (RSV A, 24,131-25,238; RSV B, 19,238-21,702), corresponding to ≥14-fold increases in 50 % neutralizing titers for both RSV A and RSV B from before to 1 month after vaccination. Single doses of RSVpreF were safe and well tolerated, with similar safety profiles across the 3 RSVpreF lots. CONCLUSIONS These findings support the reproducibility of RSVpreF vaccine manufacturing with similar safety and reactogenicity profiles (NCT05096208).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes substantial respiratory disease. Bivalent RSV prefusion F (RSVpreF) vaccine is licensed in ≥60-year-olds. RSVpreF was well-tolerated and immunogenic in a phase 1/2 study. We evaluated antibody persistence after initial vaccination and safety and immunogenicity after revaccination from this study. METHODS Healthy adults were randomized to receive both initial vaccination and revaccination 12 months later with either placebo or RSVpreF 240 µg (±Al(OH)3). RSV-A and RSV-B geometric mean neutralizing titers (GMTs) were measured through 12 months after both vaccinations. Tolerability/safety was assessed. RESULTS There were 263 participants revaccinated (18-49-years-old, n=134; 65-85-years-old, n=129). Among 18-49-year-olds and 65-85-year-olds, respectively, geometric mean fold rises (GMFRs) for both RSV subgroups (RSV-A; RSV-B) 1 month after initial RSVpreF vaccination were 13.3-20.4 and 8.9-15.5 compared with levels before initial vaccination; corresponding GMFRs 12 months after initial vaccination were 4.1-5.0 and 2.6-4.1. GMFRs 1 month after revaccination compared with levels before revaccination were 1.4-2.3 and 1.4-2.2 for 18-49-year-olds and 65-85-year-olds, respectively. Peak GMTs after revaccination were lower than those after initial vaccination. GMTs 12 months after initial vaccination and revaccination were similar, with GMFRs ranging from 0.7-1.6. No safety signals occurred. CONCLUSIONS RSVpreF revaccination was immunogenic and well-tolerated among adults. NCT03529773.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rare myocarditis and pericarditis cases have occurred in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine recipients. Troponin levels, a potential marker of myocardial injury, were assessed in healthy participants before and after BNT162b2 vaccination. METHODS Vaccine-experienced 12- to 30-year-olds in phase 3 crossover C4591031 Substudy B (NCT04955626) who had two or three prior BNT162b2 30-μg doses were randomized to receive BNT162b2 30 μg followed by placebo, or placebo followed by BNT162b2 30 µg, 1 month apart. A participant subset, previously unvaccinated against COVID-19, in the phase 3 C4591007 study (NCT04816643) received up to three vaccinations (BNT162b2 10 μg or placebo [5- to 11-year-olds]) or open-label BNT162b2 30 μg (12- to 15-year-olds). Blood samples collected pre-vaccination, 4 days post-vaccination, and 1-month post-vaccination (C4591031 Substudy B only) were analyzed. Frequencies of elevated troponin I levels (male, > 35 ng/l; female, > 17 ng/l) were assessed. RESULTS Percentages of 12- to 30-year-olds (n = 1485) in C4591031 Substudy B with elevated troponin levels following BNT162b2 or placebo receipt were 0.5% and 0.8% before vaccination, 0.7% and 1.0% at day 4, and 0.7% and 0.5% at 1 month, respectively. In Study C4591007 (n = 1265), elevated troponin I levels were observed in 0.2, 0.4, and 0.2% of 5- to 11-year-old BNT162b2 recipients at baseline and 4 days post-dose 2 and 3, respectively; corresponding values in 12- to 15-year-olds were 0.4, 0.4, and 0.7%. No 5- to 11-year-old placebo recipients had elevated troponin levels. No myocarditis or pericarditis cases or deaths were reported. CONCLUSIONS Among 5- to < 30-year-olds in both studies, troponin levels were rarely elevated (≤ 1.0%) and similar before and post-vaccination; troponin levels were also similar between BNT162b2 and placebo in 12- to 30-year-old and 5- to 11-year-old recipients in the respective studies. No myocarditis or pericarditis cases were reported. These findings did not provide evidence that BNT162b2 causes troponin elevations. No utility of routine measurement of troponin levels in asymptomatic BNT162b2 recipients was identified.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Safety and immunogenicity evaluation of a 4-dose series with 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20). METHODS This phase 3, double-blind study randomized healthy Japanese infants to receive 4 doses (3 infant doses, 1 toddler dose) of PCV20 by subcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) injection or 13-valent PCV (PCV13) SC. A primary immunogenicity objective was to demonstrate noninferiority of PCV20 SC to PCV13 SC for percentages of participants meeting predefined serotype-specific immunoglobulin G concentrations 1 month after Dose 3. The 7 additional PCV20 serotypes were compared with the lowest vaccine serotype result in the PCV13 group. Safety and tolerability were assessed as the primary safety objective. RESULTS Overall, 668 participants were randomized (PCV20 SC, n = 226; PCV13 SC, n = 224; PCV20 IM, n = 218). The primary noninferiority objective for PCV20 SC to PCV13 SC was met for 11/13 matched and 5/7 additional serotypes. Additional data showed PCV20 SC and IM elicited robust functional opsonophagocytic activity and boosting responses to all 20 vaccine serotypes. PCV20 had a similar safety/tolerability profile to PCV13, although local reactions were less frequent with PCV20 IM. CONCLUSIONS A 4-dose series of PCV20 SC or IM elicited immune responses expected to be protective against all 20 serotypes in Japanese infants. NCT04530838.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20), containing 13-valent PCV (PCV13) components and 7 additional polysaccharide conjugates, was developed to extend protection for pneumococcal disease. This phase 3 study assessed the safety and immunogenicity of PCV20 in children. METHODS In this single-arm study, children (≥15 months-<18 years of age) received 1 dose of PCV20. Children <5 years of age had ≥3 prior doses of PCV13; children ≥5 years were recruited regardless of previous PCV receipt. Serotype-specific IgG concentrations and opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) titers were measured before and 1 month after PCV20. Local reactions and systemic events, adverse events (AEs), serious AEs, and newly diagnosed chronic medical conditions were collected. RESULTS Of 839 enrolled participants, 831 (>99%) were vaccinated, and 819 (>97%) completed all study visits. Local reactions and systemic events were mostly mild to moderate in severity. No serious AEs were considered PCV20-related. IgG geometric mean fold rises (GMFRs) from before to 1 month after PCV20 ranged from 27.9-1847.7 (7 additional serotypes) and 2.9-44.9 (PCV13 serotypes) in children <5 years of age, and 10.5-187.7 (7 additional serotypes) and 4.3-127.9 (PCV13 serotypes) in children ≥5 years old. OPA GMFRs from before to 1 month after PCV20 ranged from 12.4-983.6 to 2.8-52.9 in children <5 years of age and from 11.5-499.0 to 5.3-147.9 in children ≥5 years of age. CONCLUSIONS Among children ≥15 months through <18 years of age, PCV20 was well tolerated and induced robust responses to all 20 serotypes, supporting the use of PCV20 in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pneumococcal infections are associated with high disease burden in older individuals in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20) was developed to extend protection beyond earlier pneumococcal vaccines. METHODS This phase 3 randomized, double-blind study investigated the safety and immunogenicity of PCV20 in participants ≥ 60 years of age from Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Participants were randomized to receive PCV20 or 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13). One month after vaccination, PCV20 recipients received a saline injection and PCV13 recipients received 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23). Primary immunogenicity objectives were to demonstrate noninferiority of PCV20 to PCV13 (13 matched serotypes) or PPSV23 (7 additional serotypes) for serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) 1 month after vaccination with PCV20, PCV13, or PPSV23. Noninferiority for each serotype was declared if the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI for OPA geometric mean ratio (GMR) was > 0.5. Safety endpoints included local reactions, systemic events, adverse events (AEs), and serious AEs. RESULTS Overall, 1421 participants were vaccinated (median age [range]: 65 [60-85] years). PCV20 was noninferior to PCV13 for all 13 matched serotypes and to PPSV23 for 6 of 7 additional serotypes. Although statistical noninferiority was missed for serotype 8 (lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI for OPA GMR = 0.5, thus not meeting the statistical noninferiority criterion of > 0.5), secondary immunogenicity endpoints for serotype 8 were supportive of a robust immune response. The incidence of AEs and the frequency and severity of local reactions and systemic events were generally similar after PCV20 and PCV13. No safety concerns were identified. CONCLUSION PCV20 generated robust immune responses to all vaccine serotypes in older adults in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The safety and tolerability profile was similar to PCV13. PCV20 is expected to help protect against all 20 vaccine serotypes. NCT04875533.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This phase 2 extension explored the long-term antibody persistence of an investigational Clostridioides difficile vaccine and the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of dose 4 approximately 12 months post-dose 3. METHODS One year post-dose 3, healthy US 65- to 85-year-olds (N = 300) were randomized to dose 4 of vaccine at previously received antigen levels (100 or 200 μg) or placebo. Assessments included safety and percentages of participants achieving neutralizing antibody titers above prespecified thresholds (≥219 and ≥2586 neutralization units/mL for toxins A and B, respectively). RESULTS In participants previously given three 200-µg doses and placebo in the extension, toxin A and B neutralizing antibodies were above prevaccination levels 48 months post-dose 3 (36 months after placebo); 24.0% and 26.0% had toxin A and B antibodies at or above prespecified thresholds, respectively. Neutralizing antibodies increased post-dose 4 (12 months post-dose 3) and persisted to 36 months post-dose 4. Thirty days post-dose 4, all participants had toxin A and 86.5% to 100% had toxin B titers at or above prespecified thresholds. Local reactions were more frequent in vaccine recipients. Systemic and adverse event frequencies were similar across groups. CONCLUSIONS C difficile vaccine immune responses persisted 48 months post-dose 3. Dose 4 was immunogenic and well tolerated, supporting continued development. Clinical Trials Registration. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02561195.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A toxoid-based Clostridioides difficile vaccine is currently in development. Here, we report lot-to-lot consistency, immunogenicity, safety, and tolerability of 3 C difficile vaccine doses in healthy older adults. METHODS This phase 3, placebo-controlled study randomized (1:1:1:1) healthy adults 65 to 85 years of age to 1 of 3 C difficile vaccine lots or placebo. Participants received C difficile vaccine (200 μg total toxoid) or placebo (Months 0, 1, 6). The primary immunogenicity objective was lot-to-lot consistency (2-sided 95 % CIs within 0.5 and 2 for comparisons of geometric mean concentration [GMC] ratios) for toxins A- and B-specific neutralizing antibody levels 1 month after Dose 3. Safety outcomes included local reactions and systemic events ≤7 days after vaccination, adverse events (AEs), and serious AEs (SAEs). RESULTS Of 1317 enrolled participants, 1218 completed the study. C difficile vaccine immunogenicity was consistent across lots, with neutralizing antibody responses 1 month after Dose 3 for both toxin A (GMC [95 % CI]: lot 1, 878.8 [786.3, 982.2]; lot 2, 873.0 [779.2, 978.1]; lot 3, 872.9 [782.6, 973.5]) and toxin B (lot 1, 5823.9 [5041.0, 6728.4]; lot 2, 5462.8 [4733.4, 6304.7]; lot 3, 5426.0 [4724.4, 6231.8]). Two-sided 95 % CIs for GMC ratios were within 0.5 and 2 for toxins A and B, indicating lot-to-lot consistency was achieved. C difficile vaccine was well tolerated, with similar rates of local reactions and systemic events among vaccine lots. AE and SAE rates were similar across C difficile vaccine (36.5 % and 4.5 %, respectively) and placebo (35.3 % and 6 %). CONCLUSIONS Three doses (Months 0,1,6) of toxoid-based C difficile vaccine induced robust neutralizing antibody responses and were well tolerated in healthy participants 65 to 85 years of age. Lot-to-lot consistency was excellent, indicating the manufacturing process for this C difficile vaccine formulation was well controlled.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protection against contemporary SARS-CoV-2 variants requires sequence-adapted vaccines. METHODS In this ongoing phase 2/3 trial, 12-17-year-olds (n=108), 18-55-year-olds (n=313), and >55-year-olds (n=306) who previously received 3 original BNT162b2 30-µg doses, received a fourth dose (second booster) of 30-µg bivalent original/Omicron-BA.4/BA.5-adapted BNT162b2 (BNT162b2-Omi.BA.4/BA.5). For comparisons with original BNT162b2, participants were selected from another phase 3 trial. Immunologic superiority 1-month post-vaccination, with respect to 50% neutralizing titers (GMR lower bound [LB] 2-sided 95%CI >1), and noninferiority with respect to seroresponse rates (rate-difference LB 2-sided 95%CI >-5%), for Omicron BA.4/BA.5 were assessed in >55-year-olds versus original BNT162b2 as a second booster. Noninferiority with respect to neutralizing titer level (GMR LB 2-sided 95%CI >0.67) and seroresponse rate (rate-difference LB 2-sided 95%CI >-10%) of Omicron BA.4/BA.5 immune response for BNT162b2-Omi.BA.4/BA.5 in 18‒55-year-olds versus >55-year-olds was assessed. RESULTS One-month post-vaccination in >55-year-olds, model-adjusted GMR of Omicron BA.4/BA.5 neutralizing titers for the BNT162b2-Omi.BA.4/BA.5 versus BNT162b2 group (2.91; 95%CI 2.45-3.44) demonstrated superiority of BNT162b2-Omi.BA.4/BA.5. Adjusted difference in percentages of >55-year-olds with seroresponse (26.77%; 95%CI 19.59-33.95) showed noninferiority of BNT162b2-Omi.BA.4/BA.5 to BNT162b2. Noninferiority of BNT162b2-Omi.BA.4/BA.5 in 18‒55-year-olds to >55-year-olds was met for model-adjusted GMR and seroresponse. GMTs in 12-17-year-olds increased from baseline to 1-month post-vaccination. The BNT162b2-Omi.BA.4/BA.5 safety profile was similar to booster doses of bivalent Omicron BA.1-modified BNT162b2 and original BNT162b2 reported in previous studies. CONCLUSIONS Based on immunogenicity and safety data up to 1-month post-vaccination in participants who previously received 3 original BNT162b2 doses, a BNT162b2-Omi.BA.4/BA.5 30 µg booster has a favorable benefit-risk profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza are both typically seasonal diseases, with winter peaks in temperate climates. Coadministration of an RSV vaccine and influenza vaccine could be a benefit, requiring 1 rather than 2 visits to a healthcare provider for individuals receiving both vaccines. METHODS The primary immunogenicity objective of this phase 3, 1:1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy ≥65-year-olds in Australia was to demonstrate noninferiority of immune responses with coadministration of the stabilized RSV prefusion F protein-based vaccine (RSVpreF) and seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (SIIV) versus SIIV or RSVpreF administered alone, using a 1.5-fold noninferiority margin (lower bound 95% CI >0.667). Safety and tolerability were evaluated by collecting reactogenicity and adverse event data. RESULTS Of 1403 participants randomized, 1399 received vaccinations (median [range] age, 70 [65‒91] years). Local reactions and systemic events were mostly mild or moderate when RSVpreF was coadministered with SIIV or administered alone. No vaccine-related serious adverse events were reported. Geometric mean ratios were 0.86 for RSV-A and 0.85 for RSV-B neutralizing titers at 1 month after RSVpreF administration and 0.77 to 0.90 for strain-specific hemagglutination inhibition assay titers at 1 month after SIIV. All comparisons achieved the prespecified 1.5-fold noninferiority margin. CONCLUSION The primary study objectives were met, demonstrating noninferiority of RSVpreF and SIIV immune responses when RSVpreF was coadministered with SIIV and that RSVpreF had an acceptable safety and tolerability profile when coadministered with SIIV. The results of this study support coadministration of RSVpreF and SIIV in an older adult population. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT05301322.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vaccination is a critical tool for preventing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and influenza illnesses. Coadministration of the COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2, with seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (SIIV) can provide substantial benefits, including streamlining vaccine delivery. METHODS In this phase 3 study, healthy 18- to 64-year-olds who had received three previous doses of BNT162b2 were randomized (1:1) to the coadministration group (month 0, BNT162b2 + SIIV; month 1, placebo) or the separate-administration group (month 0, placebo + SIIV; month 1, BNT162b2). The primary immunogenicity objective was to demonstrate that the immune responses elicited by BNT162b2 and SIIV [measured by full-length S-binding immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels and strain-specific hemagglutination inhibition assay (HAI) titers against four influenza strains 1 month post-vaccination, respectively] when coadministered were noninferior to those elicited by either vaccine administered alone, based on a prespecified 1.5-fold noninferiority margin [lower bound 95% CI for geometric mean ratio (GMR) > 0.67]. Reactogenicity and adverse event (AE) rates were evaluated. RESULTS Randomized participants who received study vaccination (N = 1128; coadministration group, n = 564; separate-administration group, n = 564) had a median age of 39 years. Model-adjusted GMRs for coadministration to separate administration were 0.83 (95% CI 0.77, 0.89) for full-length S-binding IgG levels and 0.89-1.00 (lower bound of all 95% CIs > 0.67) for the four influenza strain-specific HAI titers, with all endpoints achieving the prespecified noninferiority criterion. Reactogenicity events were mostly mild or moderate when BNT162b2 was coadministered with SIIV. Serious AEs were reported in < 1% of participants within 1 month after any vaccination; none were considered vaccine-related. CONCLUSIONS BNT162b2 coadministered with SIIV elicited immune responses that were noninferior to those elicited by BNT162b2 alone and SIIV alone, and BNT162b2 had an acceptable safety profile when coadministered with SIIV. The results of this study support the coadministration of BNT162b2 and SIIV in adults. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT05310084.

Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae causes a considerable disease burden among children in China. Many isolates exhibit antimicrobial resistance but are often serotypes covered by the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13). Because the approved infant immunization schedule in China allows PCV13 vaccination only for those 6 weeks to 15 months of age, this phase 3 study was conducted to evaluate PCV13 immunogenicity and safety in unvaccinated older infants and children. Eligible participants were stratified by age into four cohorts: Cohort 1 (n = 125), 6 weeks-2 months; Cohort 2 (n = 354), 7-<12 months; Cohort 3 (n = 250), 1 -<2 years; Cohort 4 (n = 207), 2-<6 years. Cohort 1 received PCV13 at ages 2, 4, and 6 months; older cohorts were randomized 2:1 to PCV13 or Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine using age-appropriate schedules. Within-group immune responses were assessed by immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations and opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) titers. Safety evaluations included solicited reactogenicity events and adverse events (AEs). IgG geometric mean concentrations and OPA geometric mean titers for all 13 PCV13 serotypes increased for all participants vaccinated with PCV13, but not those vaccinated with Hib. Immune responses in Cohorts 2-4 were generally comparable with those in Cohort 1 (the infant series) for most serotypes. PCV13 was well tolerated across cohorts, with reported AEs consistent with expectations in these age groups; no new safety signals were identified. These results suggest that PCV13 administered as a catch-up regimen to infants and children 7 months-<6 years of age in China will effectively reduce vaccine-type pneumococcal disease in this population.

Abstract
Use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) has led to substantial reductions in the global burden of pediatric pneumococcal disease. Expansion of serotype coverage has been achieved by increasing PCV valency, but this may carry the potential risk of antibody interference. A complementary 7-valent PCV (cPCV7) including polysaccharide conjugates from 7 non-13-valent (PCV13) serotypes was developed to potentially complement PCV13-mediated protection and expand serotype coverage. This study evaluated cPCV7 and PCV13 coadministered in separate limbs or separated in time in infants. This phase 2, multicenter, open-label study included 512 infants randomized 1:1:1 to receive cPCV7 coadministered with PCV13 at ages 2, 4, 6, and 12 months (cPCV7 Coadministered); cPCV7 given at ages 3, 5, 7, and 13 months, 3‒5 weeks after PCV13 (cPCV7 Separated); or PCV13 at ages 2, 4, 6, and 12 months followed by a single supplemental dose of cPCV7 at 13 months (PCV13 Control). Safety evaluations included local reactions, systemic events, and adverse events. Serotype-specific immunoglobulin G concentrations and opsonophagocytic activity titers were assessed. The safety profile of cPCV7 was similar to that of PCV13. cPCV7 was well-tolerated in infants when coadministered with or given separately from PCV13. Robust and functional immune responses for all cPCV7 serotypes were observed in both cPCV7 groups. No immunologic interference was observed for either the cPCV7 or PCV13 serotypes with coadministration. A single cPCV7 dose induced immune responses in toddlers. These findings support potential coadministration of a complementary PCV to supplement protection provided by existing PCVs.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03550313.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Natural history studies have correlated serotype-specific anti-capsular polysaccharide (CPS) IgG in newborns with a reduced risk of group B streptococcal disease. A hexavalent CPS-cross-reactive material 197 glycoconjugate vaccine (GBS6) is being developed as a maternal vaccine to prevent invasive group B streptococcus in young infants. METHODS In an ongoing phase 2, placebo-controlled trial involving pregnant women, we assessed the safety and immunogenicity of a single dose of various GBS6 formulations and analyzed maternally transferred anti-CPS antibodies. In a parallel seroepidemiologic study that was conducted in the same population, we assessed serotype-specific anti-CPS IgG concentrations that were associated with a reduced risk of invasive disease among newborns through 89 days of age to define putative protective thresholds. RESULTS Naturally acquired anti-CPS IgG concentrations were associated with a reduced risk of disease among infants in the seroepidemiologic study. IgG thresholds that were determined to be associated with 75 to 95% reductions in the risk of disease were 0.184 to 0.827 μg per milliliter. No GBS6-associated safety signals were observed among the mothers or infants. The incidence of adverse events and of serious adverse events were similar across the trial groups for both mothers and infants; more local reactions were observed in the groups that received GBS6 containing aluminum phosphate. Among the infants, the most common serious adverse events were minor congenital anomalies (umbilical hernia and congenital dermal melanocytosis). GBS6 induced maternal antibody responses to all serotypes, with maternal-to-infant antibody ratios of approximately 0.4 to 1.3, depending on the dose. The percentage of infants with anti-CPS IgG concentrations above 0.184 μg per milliliter varied according to serotype and formulation, with 57 to 97% of the infants having a seroresponse to the most immunogenic formulation. CONCLUSIONS GBS6 elicited anti-CPS antibodies against group B streptococcus in pregnant women that were transferred to infants at levels associated with a reduced risk of invasive group B streptococcal disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Older adults are at increased risk of adverse outcomes from pneumococcal disease and COVID-19. Vaccination is an established strategy for preventing both illnesses. This study evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of coadministration of the 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20) and a booster (third dose) of BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine. METHODS This phase 3, randomized, double-blind, multicentre study included 570 participants aged ≥65 years randomized 1:1:1 to PCV20 and BNT162b2 coadministered, or PCV20 or BNT162b2 only (administered with saline for blinding). Primary safety endpoints included local reactions, systemic events, adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs). Secondary objectives were immunogenicity of PCV20 and BNT162b2 when administered together or separately. RESULTS Coadministration of PCV20 and BNT162b2 was well tolerated. Local reactions and systemic events were generally mild-moderate; injection-site pain and fatigue were the most frequent local and systemic events, respectively. AE and SAE rates were low and similar across groups. No AEs led to discontinuation; no SAEs were considered vaccination-related. Robust immune responses were observed, with opsonophagocytic activity geometric mean fold rises (GMFRs; from baseline to 1 month) of 2.5-24.5 and 2.3-30.6 across PCV20 serotypes in Coadministration and PCV20-only groups, respectively. GMFRs for full-length S-binding IgG of 35.5 and 39.0, and for neutralizing titres against SARS-CoV-2-wild type virus of 58.8 and 65.4, were observed in the Coadministration and BNT162b2-only groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Safety and immunogenicity of coadministered PCV20 and BNT162b2 were similar to those of PCV20 or BNT162b2 administered alone, suggesting that the 2 vaccines may be coadministered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Staphylococcus aureus is a global pathogen frequently responsible for healthcare-associated infections, including surgical site infections (SSIs). Current infection prevention and control approaches may be limited, with S aureus antibiotic resistance remaining problematic. Thus, a vaccine to prevent or reduce S aureus infection is critically needed. This study evaluated efficacy and safety of an investigational 4-antigen S aureus vaccine (SA4Ag) in adults undergoing elective open posterior spinal fusion procedures with multilevel instrumentation. METHODS In this multicenter, site-level, randomized, double-blind trial, subjects 18-85 years old received a single dose of SA4Ag or placebo 10-60 days before surgery. SA4Ag efficacy in preventing postoperative S aureus bloodstream infection and/or deep incisional or organ/space SSI was the primary endpoint. Safety evaluations included local reactions, systemic events, and adverse events (AEs). Immunogenicity and colonization were assessed. RESULTS Study enrollment was halted when a prespecified interim efficacy analysis met predefined futility criteria. SA4Ag showed no efficacy (0.0%) in preventing postoperative S aureus infection (14 cases in each group through postoperative Day 90), despite inducing robust functional immune responses to each antigen compared with placebo. Colonization rates across groups were similar through postoperative Day 180. Local reactions and systemic events were mostly mild or moderate in severity, with AEs reported at similar frequencies across groups. CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing elective spinal fusion surgical procedures, SA4Ag was safe, well tolerated, but despite eliciting substantial antibody responses that blocked key S aureus virulence mechanisms, was not efficacious in preventing S aureus infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether vaccination during pregnancy could reduce the burden of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated lower respiratory tract illness in newborns and infants is uncertain. METHODS In this phase 3, double-blind trial conducted in 18 countries, we randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, pregnant women at 24 through 36 weeks' gestation to receive a single intramuscular injection of 120 μg of a bivalent RSV prefusion F protein-based (RSVpreF) vaccine or placebo. The two primary efficacy end points were medically attended severe RSV-associated lower respiratory tract illness and medically attended RSV-associated lower respiratory tract illness in infants within 90, 120, 150, and 180 days after birth. A lower boundary of the confidence interval for vaccine efficacy (99.5% confidence interval [CI] at 90 days; 97.58% CI at later intervals) greater than 20% was considered to meet the success criterion for vaccine efficacy with respect to the primary end points. RESULTS At this prespecified interim analysis, the success criterion for vaccine efficacy was met with respect to one primary end point. Overall, 3682 maternal participants received vaccine and 3676 received placebo; 3570 and 3558 infants, respectively, were evaluated. Medically attended severe lower respiratory tract illness occurred within 90 days after birth in 6 infants of women in the vaccine group and 33 infants of women in the placebo group (vaccine efficacy, 81.8%; 99.5% CI, 40.6 to 96.3); 19 cases and 62 cases, respectively, occurred within 180 days after birth (vaccine efficacy, 69.4%; 97.58% CI, 44.3 to 84.1). Medically attended RSV-associated lower respiratory tract illness occurred within 90 days after birth in 24 infants of women in the vaccine group and 56 infants of women in the placebo group (vaccine efficacy, 57.1%; 99.5% CI, 14.7 to 79.8); these results did not meet the statistical success criterion. No safety signals were detected in maternal participants or in infants and toddlers up to 24 months of age. The incidences of adverse events reported within 1 month after injection or within 1 month after birth were similar in the vaccine group (13.8% of women and 37.1% of infants) and the placebo group (13.1% and 34.5%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS RSVpreF vaccine administered during pregnancy was effective against medically attended severe RSV-associated lower respiratory tract illness in infants, and no safety concerns were identified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection causes considerable illness in older adults. The efficacy and safety of an investigational bivalent RSV prefusion F protein-based (RSVpreF) vaccine in this population are unknown. METHODS In this ongoing, phase 3 trial, we randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, adults (≥60 years of age) to receive a single intramuscular injection of RSVpreF vaccine at a dose of 120 μg (RSV subgroups A and B, 60 μg each) or placebo. The two primary end points were vaccine efficacy against seasonal RSV-associated lower respiratory tract illness with at least two or at least three signs or symptoms. The secondary end point was vaccine efficacy against RSV-associated acute respiratory illness. RESULTS At the interim analysis (data-cutoff date, July 14, 2022), 34,284 participants had received RSVpreF vaccine (17,215 participants) or placebo (17,069 participants). RSV-associated lower respiratory tract illness with at least two signs or symptoms occurred in 11 participants in the vaccine group (1.19 cases per 1000 person-years of observation) and 33 participants in the placebo group (3.58 cases per 1000 person-years of observation) (vaccine efficacy, 66.7%; 96.66% confidence interval [CI], 28.8 to 85.8); 2 cases (0.22 cases per 1000 person-years of observation) and 14 cases (1.52 cases per 1000 person-years of observation), respectively, occurred with at least three signs or symptoms (vaccine efficacy, 85.7%; 96.66% CI, 32.0 to 98.7). RSV-associated acute respiratory illness occurred in 22 participants in the vaccine group (2.38 cases per 1000 person-years of observation) and 58 participants in the placebo group (6.30 cases per 1000 person-years of observation) (vaccine efficacy, 62.1%; 95% CI, 37.1 to 77.9). The incidence of local reactions was higher with vaccine (12%) than with placebo (7%); the incidences of systemic events were similar (27% and 26%, respectively). Similar rates of adverse events through 1 month after injection were reported (vaccine, 9.0%; placebo, 8.5%), with 1.4% and 1.0%, respectively, considered by the investigators to be injection-related. Severe or life-threatening adverse events were reported in 0.5% of vaccine recipients and 0.4% of placebo recipients. Serious adverse events were reported in 2.3% of participants in each group through the data-cutoff date. CONCLUSIONS RSVpreF vaccine prevented RSV-associated lower respiratory tract illness and RSV-associated acute respiratory illness in adults (≥60 years of age), without evident safety concerns.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Older adults are at increased risk of adverse outcomes from pneumococcal disease and influenza infections. Vaccination is an established strategy for preventing both illnesses. This study evaluated coadministration of 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20) and an adjuvanted quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (QIV). METHODS This phase 3, randomized, double-blind, multicenter study included 1796 US adults ≥ 65 years of age randomized 1:1 to receive either PCV20 and QIV followed 1 month later by saline (Coadministration group) or QIV and saline followed 1 month later by PCV20 (Separate Administration group). Primary immunogenicity objectives were to show noninferiority of PCV20 and QIV coadministration compared with separate administration of either vaccine based on serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) titers for PCV20 and strain-specific hemagglutination inhibition assay (HAI) titers for QIV. Safety endpoints included local reactions, systemic events, and adverse events (AEs). RESULTS Noninferiority for pneumococcal and influenza antibody responses (lower bound 95 % CI of the OPA and HAI geometric mean ratios of > 0.5 and > 0.67, respectively) was shown for the Coadministration group compared with the Separate Administration group for all 20 pneumococcal serotypes and all 4 influenza vaccine strains. Local reactions and systemic events were mostly mild or moderate in severity across groups; injection site pain was the most frequent local reaction, and fatigue was the most frequent systemic event. Mild and moderate fatigue were reported more frequently after PCV20 and QIV coadministration compared with separate administration (mild, 20.0 % vs 10.8 %-12.6 %; moderate, 12.3 % vs 8.4 %-9.6 %); this was not considered clinically significant. AE reporting rates were similar across groups, and no serious AEs were considered vaccination-related. CONCLUSIONS Immune responses after coadministration of PCV20 and QIV were noninferior to separate administration of either vaccine. The PCV20 safety profile was similar when given together with or after QIV. These findings support PCV20 and QIV coadministration. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04526574.

Abstract
In this ongoing study, substantially increased ancestral SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing responses were observed 1 month after a third 10-µg BNT162b2 dose given to 5-11-year-olds versus neutralizing responses post-dose 2. After dose 3, increased neutralizing responses against Omicron BA.1 and BA.4/BA.5 strains were also observed. The safety/tolerability profile was acceptable. (NCT04816643).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Safe and effective vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) are urgently needed in young children. METHODS We conducted a phase 1 dose-finding study and are conducting an ongoing phase 2-3 safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy trial of the BNT162b2 vaccine in healthy children 6 months to 11 years of age. We present results for children 6 months to less than 2 years of age and those 2 to 4 years of age through the data-cutoff dates (April 29, 2022, for safety and immunogenicity and June 17, 2022, for efficacy). In the phase 2-3 trial, participants were randomly assigned (in a 2:1 ratio) to receive two 3-μg doses of BNT162b2 or placebo. On the basis of preliminary immunogenicity results, a third 3-μg dose (≥8 weeks after dose 2) was administered starting in January 2022, which coincided with the emergence of the B.1.1.529 (omicron) variant. Immune responses at 1 month after doses 2 and 3 in children 6 months to less than 2 years of age and those 2 to 4 years of age were immunologically bridged to responses after dose 2 in persons 16 to 25 years of age who received 30 μg of BNT162b2 in the pivotal trial. RESULTS During the phase 1 dose-finding study, two doses of BNT162b2 were administered 21 days apart to 16 children 6 months to less than 2 years of age (3-μg dose) and 48 children 2 to 4 years of age (3-μg or 10-μg dose). The 3-μg dose level was selected for the phase 2-3 trial; 1178 children 6 months to less than 2 years of age and 1835 children 2 to 4 years of age received BNT162b2, and 598 and 915, respectively, received placebo. Immunobridging success criteria for the geometric mean ratio and seroresponse at 1 month after dose 3 were met in both age groups. BNT162b2 reactogenicity events were mostly mild to moderate, with no grade 4 events. Low, similar incidences of fever were reported after receipt of BNT162b2 (7% among children 6 months to <2 years of age and 5% among those 2 to 4 years of age) and placebo (6 to 7% among children 6 months to <2 years of age and 4 to 5% among those 2 to 4 years of age). The observed overall vaccine efficacy against symptomatic Covid-19 in children 6 months to 4 years of age was 73.2% (95% confidence interval, 43.8 to 87.6) from 7 days after dose 3 (on the basis of 34 cases). CONCLUSIONS A three-dose primary series of 3-μg BNT162b2 was safe, immunogenic, and efficacious in children 6 months to 4 years of age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The emergence of immune-escape variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 warrants the use of sequence-adapted vaccines to provide protection against coronavirus disease 2019. METHODS In an ongoing phase 3 trial, adults older than 55 years who had previously received three 30-μg doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine were randomly assigned to receive 30 μg or 60 μg of BNT162b2, 30 μg or 60 μg of monovalent B.1.1.529 (omicron) BA.1-adapted BNT162b2 (monovalent BA.1), or 30 μg (15 μg of BNT162b2 + 15 μg of monovalent BA.1) or 60 μg (30 μg of BNT162b2 + 30 μg of monovalent BA.1) of BA.1-adapted BNT162b2 (bivalent BA.1). Primary objectives were to determine superiority (with respect to 50% neutralizing titer [NT50] against BA.1) and noninferiority (with respect to seroresponse) of the BA.1-adapted vaccines to BNT162b2 (30 μg). A secondary objective was to determine noninferiority of bivalent BA.1 to BNT162b2 (30 μg) with respect to neutralizing activity against the ancestral strain. Exploratory analyses assessed immune responses against omicron BA.4, BA.5, and BA.2.75 subvariants. RESULTS A total of 1846 participants underwent randomization. At 1 month after vaccination, bivalent BA.1 (30 μg and 60 μg) and monovalent BA.1 (60 μg) showed neutralizing activity against BA.1 superior to that of BNT162b2 (30 μg), with NT50 geometric mean ratios (GMRs) of 1.56 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17 to 2.08), 1.97 (95% CI, 1.45 to 2.68), and 3.15 (95% CI, 2.38 to 4.16), respectively. Bivalent BA.1 (both doses) and monovalent BA.1 (60 μg) were also noninferior to BNT162b2 (30 μg) with respect to seroresponse against BA.1; between-group differences ranged from 10.9 to 29.1 percentage points. Bivalent BA.1 (either dose) was noninferior to BNT162b2 (30 μg) with respect to neutralizing activity against the ancestral strain, with NT50 GMRs of 0.99 (95% CI, 0.82 to 1.20) and 1.30 (95% CI, 1.07 to 1.58), respectively. BA.4-BA.5 and BA.2.75 neutralizing titers were numerically higher with 30-μg bivalent BA.1 than with 30-μg BNT162b2. The safety profile of either dose of monovalent or bivalent BA.1 was similar to that of BNT162b2 (30 μg). Adverse events were more common in the 30-μg monovalent-BA.1 (8.5%) and 60-μg bivalent-BA.1 (10.4%) groups than in the other groups (3.6 to 6.6%). CONCLUSIONS The candidate monovalent or bivalent omicron BA.1-adapted vaccines had a safety profile similar to that of BNT162b2 (30 μg), induced substantial neutralizing responses against ancestral and omicron BA.1 strains, and, to a lesser extent, neutralized BA.4, BA.5, and BA.2.75 strains.

Abstract
What is this summary about? This is a summary of an article about part of a clinical study for the BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine, also called the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The article was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in May 2021. This summary describes how the vaccine worked in participants 12- to 15-years old. The part of the study described in the article is ongoing and expected to finish March 2023. This means that the final results may be different from the results included in this summary. What happened in this study? The part of the study described in this summary included participants 12- to 15-years old who had no serious health issues. The BNT162b2 vaccine had already been studied in participants 16 years of age or older. In this part of the study, the researchers wanted to find out: How effective and safe the vaccine was in participants 12- to 15-years old. What the immune response to the vaccine and the vaccine safety were like in 12- to 15-year-olds compared with 16- to 25-year-olds. How well the vaccine prevented SARS-CoV-2 infections in participants who received the vaccine compared to those who did not. This is also called efficacy of the BNT162b2 vaccine Half of the participants in this study received 2 injections of the BNT162b2 vaccine and half received 2 injections of a placebo in a muscle of the upper arm. The placebo looked like the BNT162b2 vaccine but did not have any active vaccine in it. What were the results? BNT162b2 had a favorable safety profile. The most common reactions were pain at the injection site, fatigue, and headache. None of the participants had serious reactions to the vaccine. The 12- to 15-year-old participants' immune system responses to the BNT162b2 vaccine were as good as or stronger than the 16- to 25-year-old participants' immune responses. The participants who received the BNT162b2 vaccine were less likely to get COVID-19 compared with the participants who got the placebo. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT04368728 ( ClinicalTrials.gov )

Abstract
Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of infant morbidity and mortality worldwide and could be preventable by vaccination in pregnancy. Methods We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled phase 2b trial evaluating safety, immunogenicity, and potential efficacy of a bivalent RSV prefusion F vaccine (RSVpreF) in pregnant women and their infants. Participants were randomized between 24- and 36-weeks’ gestation to receive 120 or 240 µg RSVpreF, with or without aluminum hydroxide, or placebo. Results This final analysis includes 579 women and 572 infants in 4 countries (Argentina, Chile, South Africa, and the US); 462 (79.8%) women received RSVpreF. Postvaccination reactions, most commonly injection site pain, fatigue, and myalgia, were generally mild-to-moderate. Adverse events (AEs) in the month following vaccination (maternal) or birth (infant) were mostly anticipated events in pregnancy and the neonatal period, respectively, and were similar between vaccine and placebo groups. No AEs were considered related to vaccination. For all RSVpreF groups, 50% neutralizing titers for both RSV-A and RSV-B rose sharply by 2 weeks after vaccination. At delivery occurring a mean of ∼8 weeks later, geometric mean titer (GMT) ratios for combined RSV-A/B between vaccine and placebo recipients’ infants were 10.9 to 13.6. Transplacental transfer ratios (all groups) were 1.39 to 1.83. Infant GMTs were higher in infants whose mothers had received RSVpreF versus placebo through 6 months of life; the estimated half-life of infant combined 50% RSV-A/B neutralizing titers was 41 days. Infants of women immunized across the range of assessed gestational ages had similar cord blood titers and transplacental transfer ratios. Observed efficacy (95% CI) against medically attended and severe medically attended infant RSV lower respiratory tract illness (LRTI) through 180 days in an exploratory analysis was 84.7% (21.5%, 97.6%) and 91.5% (-5.6%, 99.8%), respectively. Conclusion RSVpreF was well-tolerated in pregnant women, elicited robust neutralizing responses with efficient transplacental transfer, and has the potential to prevent infant RSV LRTI.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an important cause of disease in older adults and is associated with high morbidity and mortality, especially in those with high-risk conditions. Illness can vary from mild upper respiratory tract symptoms to more severe lower respiratory tract disease. After over 50 years of research, there is now hope for an RSV vaccine for any population, including older adults. An investigational bivalent RSV A and B, stabilized RSV prefusion F subunit vaccine (RSVpreF) was assessed successfully in a pivotal phase 3 efficacy study in older adults. (NCT05035212).
Methods
The primary efficacy objective of this Phase 3, global, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study was to evaluate the prevention of RSV associated lower respiratory tract illness (LRTI-RSV) in up to 40,000 adults ≥60 years of age during the first winter season (September 2021-June 2022). Two primary endpoints were tested sequentially – LRTI-RSV with ≥2 and ≥3 symptoms.
A pre-planned efficacy interim analysis (IA) was to be conducted by an external Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) upon accrual of at least 29 cases of LRTI-RSV with ≥2 symptoms. With efficacy demonstrated for cases with ≥2 symptoms and sufficient cases with ≥ 3 symptoms accrued, an efficacy analysis of cases with ≥ 3 symptoms was to be conducted. The ongoing study is collecting additional safety and descriptive efficacy data.
Results
At the time of the IA, approximately 34,000 participants received either RSVpreF 120 µg (60 µg each of RSVpreF from RSV A and RSV B) or placebo (1:1 randomization). Forty-four LRTI-RSV cases with ≥2 symptoms were accrued with 11 cases in the RSVpreF group and 33 cases in the placebo group corresponding to a VE of 66.7% (96.66% CI: 28.8%, 85.8%). Sixteen LRTI-RSV cases with ≥3 symptoms were accrued with 2 cases in the RSVpreF group and 14 cases in the placebo group corresponding to a VE of 85.7% (96.66% CI: 32.0%, 98.7%). The investigational vaccine was well-tolerated with no safety concerns.
Conclusion
Despite unpredictable RSV activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the primary objective of the study was met demonstrating that RSVpreF had a favorable safety profile and was highly efficacious in preventing LRTI-RSV with ≥2 symptoms and ≥3 symptoms in older adults 60 years and older.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of invasive bacterial infections in young infants and pregnant women. Pfizer is developing a hexavalent GBS vaccine (GBS6) as a maternal vaccine to prevent invasive GBS disease due to the 6 most prevalent serotypes in young infants. We previously reported Phase 1 safety and immunogenicity data for GBS6. There is precedent for repeat doses of vaccines to augment or sustain circulating antibodies available for placental transfer with each pregnancy; thus, data to inform GBS6 booster strategies were required.
Methods
This was a Phase 2 open-label extension study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a booster dose of GBS6 (20 μg capsular polysaccharide (CPS)/serotype/dose) with or without AlPO4, given ∼2 years after primary vaccination in 151 healthy nonpregnant adults. Sera taken before and 1-month postbooster were assessed for anti-CPS IgG using a direct Luminex immunoassay. Participants recorded solicited local and systemic events for 14 days after vaccination and unsolicited safety events through 6 months after vaccination. Immunogenicity time points from the Phase 1 study are referred to as primary dose.
Results
Immunogenicity results For all serotypes, serotype-specific IgG geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) remained elevated compared to baseline at the prebooster time point and were higher 1-month postbooster than 1 month post primary. The 1-month postbooster IgG GMCs were 10- to 59-fold higher than at the prebooster time point. There were similar responses between the 2 formulations.
Safety and tolerability results The most frequently reported local reaction was mild to moderate pain at the injection site. Greater pain was associated with AlPO4 formulation.
The most frequently reported systemic events were mild to moderate headache and fatigue.
The frequency of adverse events was low.

Conclusion
A booster dose of GBS6 given ∼2 years after a primary dose to healthy nonpregnant adults was safe and elicited robust immune responses that were also consistently higher than after primary dose. This study suggests that repeat vaccination with GBS6 may confer additional benefit in pregnant women in subsequent pregnancies.

Abstract
What is this summary about? This is a summary of an article about part of a clinical study for the BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine, also called the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The article was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in September 2021. The part of the study described in the article began in July 2020 and is ongoing. This means that the final results may be different from the results included in this summary. What happened in this study? The participants in this study received 2 injections of either the BNT162b2 vaccine or a placebo, 21 days apart. The placebo looked like the BNT162b2 vaccine but had no active vaccine in it. None of the trial participants or study teams knew who received vaccine or placebo. What were the results? Most of the reactions to the injections were mild or moderate and lasted for a short period of time. The most common reactions were pain at the injection site, extreme tiredness (fatigue), and headache. These reactions usually happened in the first 7 days after receiving a vaccine dose. A small number of participants had severe reactions to the vaccine. Compared to participants who received the placebo, participants who received the BNT162b2 vaccine were much less likely to become ill if they were infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. The vaccine also had very good efficacy at preventing severe COVID-19. Participants in South Africa who received the BNT162b2 vaccine were less likely to become ill after infection with the beta variant of the virus compared to participants who received the placebo. The beta variant was very common in South Africa when the study was taking place. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT04368728 ( ClinicalTrials.gov )

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an important cause of illness and death in older adults, no RSV vaccine has been licensed. METHODS In a phase 2a study, we randomly assigned healthy adults (18 to 50 years of age), in a 1:1 ratio, to receive a single intramuscular injection of either bivalent prefusion F (RSVpreF) vaccine or placebo. Approximately 28 days after injection, participants were inoculated intranasally with the RSV A Memphis 37b challenge virus and observed for 12 days. The per-protocol prespecified primary end points were the following: reverse-transcriptase-quantitative polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-qPCR)-confirmed detectable RSV infection on at least 2 consecutive days with at least one clinical symptom of any grade from two categories or at least one grade 2 symptom from any category, the total symptom score from day 1 to discharge, and the area under the curve (AUC) for the RSV viral load in nasal-wash samples measured by means of RT-qPCR from day 2 after challenge to discharge. In addition, we assessed immunogenicity and safety. RESULTS After participants were inoculated with the challenge virus, vaccine efficacy of 86.7% (95% CI, 53.8 to 96.5) was observed for symptomatic RSV infection confirmed by any detectable viral RNA on at least 2 consecutive days. The median AUC for the RSV viral load (hours × log10 copies per milliliter) as measured by RT-qPCR assay was 0.0 (interquartile range, 0.0 to 19.0) in the vaccine group and 96.7 (interquartile range, 0.0 to 675.3) in the placebo group. The geometric mean factor increase from baseline in RSV A-neutralizing titers 28 days after injection was 20.5 (95% CI, 16.6 to 25.3) in the vaccine group and 1.1 (95% CI, 0.9 to 1.3) in the placebo group. More local injection-site pain was noted in the vaccine group than in the placebo group. No serious adverse events were observed in either group. CONCLUSIONS RSVpreF vaccine was effective against symptomatic RSV infection and viral shedding. No evident safety concerns were identified. These findings provide support for further evaluation of RSVpreF vaccine in a phase 3 efficacy study. (Funded by Pfizer; EudraCT number, 2020-003887-21; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04785612.).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Active immunization with the BNT162b2 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech) has been a critical mitigation tool against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. In light of reports of waning protection occurring 6 months after the primary two-dose vaccine series, data are needed on the safety and efficacy of offering a third (booster) dose in persons 16 years of age or older. METHODS In this ongoing, placebo-controlled, randomized, phase 3 trial, we assigned participants who had received two 30-μg doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine at least 6 months earlier to be injected with a third dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine or with placebo. We assessed vaccine safety and efficacy against Covid-19 starting 7 days after the third dose. RESULTS A total of 5081 participants received a third BNT162b2 dose and 5044 received placebo. The median interval between dose 2 and dose 3 was 10.8 months in the vaccine group and 10.7 months in the placebo group; the median follow-up was 2.5 months. Local and systemic reactogenicity events from the third dose were generally of low grade. No new safety signals were identified, and no cases of myocarditis or pericarditis were reported. Among the participants without evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection who could be evaluated, Covid-19 with onset at least 7 days after dose 3 was observed in 6 participants in the vaccine group and in 123 participants in the placebo group, which corresponded to a relative vaccine efficacy of 95.3% (95% confidence interval, 89.5 to 98.3). CONCLUSIONS A third dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine administered a median of 10.8 months after the second dose provided 95.3% efficacy against Covid-19 as compared with two doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine during a median follow-up of 2.5 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an important cause of disease in older adults. We evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of a stabilized RSV prefusion F subunit (RSVpreF) vaccine candidate with/without adjuvant in adults aged 65-85 years. METHODS Primary cohort participants were equally randomized to 1 of 7 RSVpreF formulations: 60 µg with either Al(OH)3 or CpG/Al(OH)3, 120 µg with either Al(OH)3 or CpG/Al(OH)3, 240 µg with either Al(OH)3 or CpG/Al(OH)3, 240 µg unadjuvanted, or placebo, administered concomitantly with high-dose seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (SIIV). Participants in the month 0,2 cohort were randomized to RSVpreF 240 µg with CpG/Al(OH)3 or placebo, administered at months 0 and 2. RESULTS All RSVpreF vaccine candidates elicited robust and persistent serum neutralizing responses when administered alone or with SIIV. There was no notable difference in neutralizing response between the formulations, including those containing CpG. In the month 0,2 cohort, there was no booster effect of dose 2. SIIV responses were similar or slightly lower with concomitant administration of RSVpreF. Most systemic and local reactions were mild and more frequent after RSVpreF than placebo. CONCLUSIONS RSVpreF formulations were well tolerated and elicited robust neutralizing responses in older adults; however, CpG/Al(OH)3 did not further enhance responses. Clinical Trials Registration. NCT03572062.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a major cause of illness and death in infants worldwide, could be prevented by vaccination during pregnancy. The efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety of a bivalent RSV prefusion F protein-based (RSVpreF) vaccine in pregnant women and their infants are uncertain. METHODS In a phase 2b trial, we randomly assigned pregnant women, at 24 through 36 weeks' gestation, to receive either 120 or 240 μg of RSVpreF vaccine (with or without aluminum hydroxide) or placebo. The trial included safety end points and immunogenicity end points that, in this interim analysis, included 50% titers of RSV A, B, and combined A/B neutralizing antibodies in maternal serum at delivery and in umbilical-cord blood, as well as maternal-to-infant transplacental transfer ratios. RESULTS This planned interim analysis included 406 women and 403 infants; 327 women (80.5%) received RSVpreF vaccine. Most postvaccination reactions were mild to moderate; the incidence of local reactions was higher among women who received RSVpreF vaccine containing aluminum hydroxide than among those who received RSVpreF vaccine without aluminum hydroxide. The incidences of adverse events in the women and infants were similar in the vaccine and placebo groups; the type and frequency of these events were consistent with the background incidences among pregnant women and infants. The geometric mean ratios of 50% neutralizing titers between the infants of vaccine recipients and those of placebo recipients ranged from 9.7 to 11.7 among those with RSV A neutralizing antibodies and from 13.6 to 16.8 among those with RSV B neutralizing antibodies. Transplacental neutralizing antibody transfer ratios ranged from 1.41 to 2.10 and were higher with nonaluminum formulations than with aluminum formulations. Across the range of assessed gestational ages, infants of women who were immunized had similar titers in umbilical-cord blood and similar transplacental transfer ratios. CONCLUSIONS RSVpreF vaccine elicited neutralizing antibody responses with efficient transplacental transfer and without evident safety concerns.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Safe, effective vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) are urgently needed in children younger than 12 years of age. METHODS A phase 1, dose-finding study and an ongoing phase 2-3 randomized trial are being conducted to investigate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of two doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine administered 21 days apart in children 6 months to 11 years of age. We present results for 5-to-11-year-old children. In the phase 2-3 trial, participants were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive two doses of either the BNT162b2 vaccine at the dose level identified during the open-label phase 1 study or placebo. Immune responses 1 month after the second dose of BNT162b2 were immunologically bridged to those in 16-to-25-year-olds from the pivotal trial of two 30-μg doses of BNT162b2. Vaccine efficacy against Covid-19 at 7 days or more after the second dose was assessed. RESULTS During the phase 1 study, a total of 48 children 5 to 11 years of age received 10 μg, 20 μg, or 30 μg of the BNT162b2 vaccine (16 children at each dose level). On the basis of reactogenicity and immunogenicity, a dose level of 10 μg was selected for further study. In the phase 2-3 trial, a total of 2268 children were randomly assigned to receive the BNT162b2 vaccine (1517 children) or placebo (751 children). At data cutoff, the median follow-up was 2.3 months. In the 5-to-11-year-olds, as in other age groups, the BNT162b2 vaccine had a favorable safety profile. No vaccine-related serious adverse events were noted. One month after the second dose, the geometric mean ratio of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) neutralizing titers in 5-to-11-year-olds to those in 16-to-25-year-olds was 1.04 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.93 to 1.18), a ratio meeting the prespecified immunogenicity success criterion (lower bound of two-sided 95% CI, >0.67; geometric mean ratio point estimate, ≥0.8). Covid-19 with onset 7 days or more after the second dose was reported in three recipients of the BNT162b2 vaccine and in 16 placebo recipients (vaccine efficacy, 90.7%; 95% CI, 67.7 to 98.3). CONCLUSIONS A Covid-19 vaccination regimen consisting of two 10-μg doses of BNT162b2 administered 21 days apart was found to be safe, immunogenic, and efficacious in children 5 to 11 years of age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) have significantly reduced pneumococcal disease, but disease from non-PCV serotypes remains. Safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a 20-valent PCV (PCV20) were evaluated. METHODS This pivotal phase 3, randomized, double-blind study enrolled adults into 3 age groups (≥60, 50-59, 18-49 years) at US and Swedish sites. Participants were randomized to receive one PCV20 or PCV13 dose. After 1 month, participants ≥60 years also received one dose of saline or 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23). Safety assessments included local reactions, systemic events, adverse events, serious adverse events, and newly diagnosed chronic medical conditions. Opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) 1 month after PCV20 were compared to 13 matched serotypes after PCV13 and to 7 additional serotypes after PPSV23 in participants ≥60 years; noninferiority was declared if lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI for OPA GMT ratio (PCV20/saline:PCV13/PPSV23 group) was >0.5. PCV20-elicited immune responses in younger participants were also bridged to those in 60-64-year-olds. RESULTS Severity and frequency of prompted local reactions and systemic events were similar after PCV20 or PCV13; no safety concerns were identified. Primary immunogenicity objectives were met, with immune responses after PCV20 noninferior to 13 matched serotypes after PCV13 and to 6 additional PPSV23 serotypes in participants ≥60 years; serotype 8 missed the statistical noninferiority criterion. PCV20 induced robust responses to all 20 vaccine serotypes across age groups. CONCLUSIONS PCV20 was safe and well tolerated, with comparable immunogenicity to PCV13/PPSV23. PCV20 is anticipated to expand protection against pneumococcal disease in adults.

Abstract
Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes substantial morbidity and mortality in older adults and adults with comorbidities. An effective vaccine is needed. An investigational bivalent prefusion F vaccine (RSVpreF) was assessed in healthy adults. Methods This phase 1/2 study randomized adults 18–85 years old to receive placebo or 60, 120, or 240 µg RSVpreF (with or without aluminum hydroxide) alone or concomitantly with seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (SIIV). Safety and immunogenicity were assessed. Results In older adults, reactogenicity events were predominantly mild or moderate among RSVpreF recipients; adverse events through 1 month postvaccination were similar across formulations. Coadministration with SIIV did not appear to affect safety among younger or older adults. All RSVpreF formulations with or without concomitant SIIV elicited robust RSV serum-neutralizing responses in adults aged 50–85 years 1 month postvaccination. Neutralizing titers 1 and 12 months postvaccination were 6.9–14.9 and 2.9–4.5 times, respectively, those before vaccination. SIIV immune responses trended lower when coadministered with RSVpreF. Conclusions RSVpreF formulations administered alone or with SIIV were well tolerated and highly immunogenic in older adults, supporting the potential for RSVpreF to protect older adults from RSV disease.

Abstract
Background Protection against human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) remains an unmet need potentially addressable by maternal immunization. This phase 1/2 study evaluated a bivalent prefusion F vaccine (RSVpreF) with antigens from RSV subgroups A and B. Methods Adults 18–49 years old (N = 618) were randomized to receive placebo or 60, 120, or 240 µg RSVpreF with or without Al(OH)3. Safety and immunogenicity were evaluated. Results RSVpreF recipients more frequently reported local reactions and systemic events than placebo recipients; these were mostly mild or moderate. No vaccine-related serious adverse events occurred through 12 months postvaccination. All RSVpreF formulations induced 1-month postvaccination virus-neutralizing titers higher than those associated with protection of high-risk infants by palivizumab, the only prophylactic currently available for RSV. Geometric mean fold rises (GMFRs) across RSVpreF doses/formulations were 10.6–16.9 for RSV A and 10.3–19.8 for RSV B at 1 month postvaccination, greater than those historically elicited by postfusion F vaccines. GMFRs were 3.9–5.2 and 3.7–5.1, respectively, at 12 months postvaccination. Conclusions RSVpreF formulations were safe, well tolerated, and induced robust neutralizing responses in adults. These findings support development of RSVpreF, which is being evaluated in a pivotal phase 3 study for maternal immunization. Clinical Trials Registration NCT03529773.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, PCV20, was developed to expand protection against vaccine-preventable pneumococcal disease. PCV20 contains the components of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, PCV13, and includes capsular polysaccharide conjugates for 7 additional serotypes. Thus, PCV20 may cover those additional serotypes in individuals previously vaccinated with PCV13 or provide benefits of immunization with a conjugate vaccine to individuals previously immunized with a pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine. This study described the safety and immunogenicity of PCV20 in adults ≥65 years of age with prior pneumococcal vaccination. METHODS This phase 3, multicenter, randomized, open-label study was conducted in the United States and Sweden. Adults ≥65 years of age were enrolled into 1 of 3 cohorts based on their prior pneumococcal vaccination history (23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine [PPSV23], PCV13, or both PCV13 and PPSV23). Participants were randomized 2:1 within their cohort to receive a single dose of PCV20 or PCV13 in those with prior PPSV23 only, and PCV20 or PPSV23 in those with prior PCV13 only; all participants with prior PCV13 and PPSV23 received PCV20. Safety was assessed by prompted local reactions within 10 days, systemic events within 7 days, adverse events (AEs) within 1 month, and serious AEs (SAEs) and newly diagnosed chronic medical conditions (NDCMCs) within 6 months after vaccination. Immune responses 1 month after PCV20 were assessed. RESULTS The percentages of participants reporting local reactions, systemic events, and AEs after PCV20 administration were similar across cohorts and comparable with the PCV13 and PPSV23 control groups. SAE and NDCMC rates were low in all groups. Robust immune responses, including opsonophagocytic antibody responses, to the 20 vaccine serotypes were observed 1 month after PCV20 regardless of prior pneumococcal vaccination. CONCLUSIONS PCV20 was well tolerated and immunogenic in adults ≥65 years of age previously vaccinated with different pneumococcal vaccine regimens. Clinicaltrials.gov NCT03835975.

Abstract
We report interim safety and immunogenicity findings from an ongoing phase 1/2 study of BNT162b2 in healthy Japanese adults. Participants were randomized 3:1 to receive 2 intramuscular injections of 30 μg BNT162b2 or placebo 21 days apart. Overall, 160 individuals were randomized: 119 received BNT162b2, and 41 received placebo. Participants were stratified by age: 20–64 years (n = 130) and 65–85 years (n = 30). More than 97% of BNT162b2 recipients received 2 doses. Local reactions and systemic events were generally transient and mild to moderate. Severe adverse events were uncommon; there were no serious adverse events. One month after dose 2, SARS-CoV-2 50% serum neutralizing geometric mean titers were 571 and 366, and geometric mean fold rises were 55.8 and 36.6, in the younger and older age groups, respectively. In summary, BNT162b2 has an acceptable safety profile and produces a robust immune response, regardless of age, in Japanese adults. (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04588480). Here the authors provide the interim analysis of an ongoing phase 1/2 study of the BNT162b2 vaccine in healthy Japanese adults. They report mainly mild to moderate local reactions and no serious adverse events as well as good antibody induction one month after the second dose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND BNT162b2 is a lipid nanoparticle-formulated, nucleoside-modified RNA vaccine encoding a prefusion-stabilized, membrane-anchored severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) full-length spike protein. BNT162b2 is highly efficacious against coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) and is currently approved, conditionally approved, or authorized for emergency use worldwide. At the time of initial authorization, data beyond 2 months after vaccination were unavailable. METHODS In an ongoing, placebo-controlled, observer-blinded, multinational, pivotal efficacy trial, we randomly assigned 44,165 participants 16 years of age or older and 2264 participants 12 to 15 years of age to receive two 30-μg doses, at 21 days apart, of BNT162b2 or placebo. The trial end points were vaccine efficacy against laboratory-confirmed Covid-19 and safety, which were both evaluated through 6 months after vaccination. RESULTS BNT162b2 continued to be safe and have an acceptable adverse-event profile. Few participants had adverse events leading to withdrawal from the trial. Vaccine efficacy against Covid-19 was 91.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 89.0 to 93.2) through 6 months of follow-up among the participants without evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection who could be evaluated. There was a gradual decline in vaccine efficacy. Vaccine efficacy of 86 to 100% was seen across countries and in populations with diverse ages, sexes, race or ethnic groups, and risk factors for Covid-19 among participants without evidence of previous infection with SARS-CoV-2. Vaccine efficacy against severe disease was 96.7% (95% CI, 80.3 to 99.9). In South Africa, where the SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern B.1.351 (or beta) was predominant, a vaccine efficacy of 100% (95% CI, 53.5 to 100) was observed. CONCLUSIONS Through 6 months of follow-up and despite a gradual decline in vaccine efficacy, BNT162b2 had a favorable safety profile and was highly efficacious in preventing Covid-19.

Abstract
Background Prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease in infants is an unmet vaccine need, and maternal immunization is a potential strategy to address this need. This study evaluated concomitant administration of RSV stabilized prefusion F subunit vaccine (RSVpreF) and tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis vaccine adsorbed (Tdap) in healthy, nonpregnant women 18‒49 years of age. Methods In this phase 2b, multicenter, placebo-controlled, observer-blind, noninferiority study, participants were randomized to receive RSVpreF in a range of doses and formulations with Tdap or alone, or Tdap alone. Safety and immunogenicity were assessed. Results Local reactions and systemic events were generally similar across vaccine groups. Noninferiority of anti-RSV-A and anti-RSV-B immune responses induced by RSVpreF with Tdap was demonstrated compared to RSVpreF alone. Noninferiority of anti-diphtheria toxoid and anti-tetanus toxoid immune responses after administration of RSVpreF with Tdap was demonstrated compared to Tdap alone; noninferiority was not met for anti-pertussis component responses. Conclusions RSVpreF was safe and well tolerated when administered with Tdap or alone in nonpregnant women 18‒49 years of age. Immune responses induced by Tdap administered with RSVpreF were noninferior for the tetanus and diphtheria components of Tdap, but not for pertussis. Clinical Trials Registration NCT04071158.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development and widespread use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) substantially reduced the global burden of pneumococcal disease. Expanding the serotypes covered by PCVs may further reduce disease burden. A 20-valent PCV (PCV20) has been developed to add coverage for 7 additional serotypes (8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F and 33F) to those in the existing 13-valent PCV (PCV13). This phase 2 study evaluated the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of PCV20 in healthy US infants. METHODS In this randomized, active-controlled, double-blind study, 460 infants were randomized 1:1 to receive a 4-dose series of either PCV20 or PCV13 at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months of age. Solicited local reactions and systemic events, adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs were recorded. Immunogenicity was assessed by measuring serotype-specific IgG concentrations and opsonophagocytic activity titers at 1 month after Dose 3, before Dose 4 and 1 month after Dose 4. RESULTS Of 460 infants, 82.8% completed the 1-month visit after Dose 4. Local reactions and systemic events were mostly mild to moderate in severity and similar between the PCV20 and PCV13 groups. Treatment-related AEs were uncommon, with no related serious AEs or deaths reported. IgG and opsonophagocytic activity responses elicited by PCV20 were robust and demonstrated a booster response after Dose 4. CONCLUSIONS Administration of PCV20 in US infants was well tolerated, with a safety profile similar to PCV13, and induced robust serotype-specific immune responses. These findings support continued development of PCV20 in the pediatric population.

Abstract
Pneumococcal disease can be serious and debilitating in older adults. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs), such as the 13-valent PCV (PCV13), reduce pneumococcal disease rates caused by vaccine serotypes. Development of PCVs offering additional coverage against serotypes not contained in PCV13 can reduce disease burden further. The complementary 7-valent PCV (cPCV7) contains seven non-PCV13 serotypes (8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F, 33F) and can expand coverage by supplementing direct or indirect protection from existing PCVs. This phase 1/2, randomized, active-controlled, observer-blinded study evaluated cPCV7 safety and immunogenicity in healthy adults 50–85 years of age. Stage 1 randomized 66 healthy adults (50–64 years) naive to pneumococcal vaccines to receive cPCV7 or licensed tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine; Stage 2 randomized 445 healthy adults (65–85 years) previously vaccinated with PCV13 to receive cPCV7 or 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine. Local reactions and systemic events up to 14 days and adverse events (AEs) through 1 month after vaccination were assessed. Immunogenicity was evaluated by serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) assays before and 1 month after vaccination (and after 12 months in Stage 2). Rates of local reactions, systemic events, and AEs were generally similar after receipt of cPCV7 or control. Robust OPA responses were observed for all seven serotypes 1 month after cPCV7; titers declined yet remained above baseline 12 months after vaccination. Overall, this study found that in adults ≥50 years of age, cPCV7 was safe, well tolerated, and elicited functional immune responses to vaccine serotypes. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03313050

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs), including the 13-valent PCV (PCV13), has considerably reduced pneumococcal disease burden. However, additional serotypes not in PCV13 continue to present a substantial disease burden. The 20-valent PCV (PCV20) was developed to expand protection against pneumococcal disease beyond PCV13. As part of the phase 3 clinical development program, the current study assessed consistency of immune responses across 3 lots of PCV20 and described the safety profile of PCV20. METHODS This phase 3, randomized, multicenter, double-blind study of pneumococcal vaccine-naive adults 18-49 years of age randomized 1710 participants in a 2:2:2:1 ratio to receive 1 of 3 lots of PCV20 or PCV13. Immunogenicity was assessed through serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) titers before and approximately 1 month (28-42 days) after vaccination. Reported local reactions within 10 days, systemic events within 7 days, adverse events (AEs) within 30 days, and serious AEs (SAEs) and newly diagnosed chronic medical conditions (NDCMCs) within 6 months after vaccination were evaluated. RESULTS Equivalence in immune responses (OPA geometric mean titers) for all 20 vaccine serotypes was demonstrated across the 3 PCV20 lots. Robust responses, assessed by OPA geometric mean fold rises, percentage of participants achieving ≥4-fold rises, and percentage of participants with OPA titers ≥lower limit of quantitation, were observed after PCV20. Reported rates of local reactions, systemic events, and AEs were similar between the pooled PCV20 lots and PCV13; most events were mild or moderate. Reported rates of SAEs and NDCMCs were low and similar between the PCV20 and PCV13 groups. CONCLUSIONS Three different lots of PCV20 demonstrated robust and consistent immunogenicity. The safety and tolerability of PCV20 was acceptable and similar to that of PCV13. (Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03828617).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Until very recently, vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) had not been authorized for emergency use in persons younger than 16 years of age. Safe, effective vaccines are needed to protect this population, facilitate in-person learning and socialization, and contribute to herd immunity. METHODS In this ongoing multinational, placebo-controlled, observer-blinded trial, we randomly assigned participants in a 1:1 ratio to receive two injections, 21 days apart, of 30 μg of BNT162b2 or placebo. Noninferiority of the immune response to BNT162b2 in 12-to-15-year-old participants as compared with that in 16-to-25-year-old participants was an immunogenicity objective. Safety (reactogenicity and adverse events) and efficacy against confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19; onset, ≥7 days after dose 2) in the 12-to-15-year-old cohort were assessed. RESULTS Overall, 2260 adolescents 12 to 15 years of age received injections; 1131 received BNT162b2, and 1129 received placebo. As has been found in other age groups, BNT162b2 had a favorable safety and side-effect profile, with mainly transient mild-to-moderate reactogenicity (predominantly injection-site pain [in 79 to 86% of participants], fatigue [in 60 to 66%], and headache [in 55 to 65%]); there were no vaccine-related serious adverse events and few overall severe adverse events. The geometric mean ratio of SARS-CoV-2 50% neutralizing titers after dose 2 in 12-to-15-year-old participants relative to 16-to-25-year-old participants was 1.76 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.47 to 2.10), which met the noninferiority criterion of a lower boundary of the two-sided 95% confidence interval greater than 0.67 and indicated a greater response in the 12-to-15-year-old cohort. Among participants without evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, no Covid-19 cases with an onset of 7 or more days after dose 2 were noted among BNT162b2 recipients, and 16 cases occurred among placebo recipients. The observed vaccine efficacy was 100% (95% CI, 75.3 to 100). CONCLUSIONS The BNT162b2 vaccine in 12-to-15-year-old recipients had a favorable safety profile, produced a greater immune response than in young adults, and was highly effective against Covid-19.

Abstract
Background Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) elicit lower immune response against serotypes carried before or at the time of vaccination (hyporesponsiveness) in infants. The limited studies conducted to date did not permit comprehensive insights regarding this phenomenon. This study, the largest ever conducted with both carriage and serologic endpoints, attempted to add insight on serotype-specific hyporesponsiveness in relation to the number of PCV doses administered before carriage acquisition. Methods In a double-blind randomized clinical trial (n = 1754 infants), 7-valent or 13-valent PCV was administered at ages 2, 4, 6, and 12 months. New acquisition was defined based on nasopharyngeal swabs at ages 2, 4, 6, 7, and 12 months. Serotype-specific immunoglobulin G levels were obtained 1 month after the infant series and 1 month after the toddler dose. Results A lower immune response after the infant series and the toddler dose was consistently observed for carriers of serotypes 6A, 6B, 18C, and 19F at predefined time points, with a similar trend observed in carriers of serotype 23F. In contrast, carriage of serotypes 9V, 14, and 19A did not generally affect immune responses. For some but not all serotypes, hyporesponsiveness was decreased with an increased number of vaccine doses received before acquisition. A complex interrelationship between carriage and immune response was observed between cross-reacting serotypes. Conclusions Carrier-induced hyporesponsiveness to PCVs is common, differs among serotypes, and depends on timing of carriage acquisition and prior number of administered PCV doses. Clinical Trials Registration NCT00508742.

Abstract
At present, the dramatic rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among important human bacterial pathogens is reaching a state of global crisis threatening a return to the pre-antibiotic era. AMR, already a significant burden on public health and economies, is anticipated to grow even more severe in the coming decades. Several licensed vaccines, targeting both bacterial (Haemophilus influenzae type b, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi) and viral (influenza virus, rotavirus) human pathogens, have already proven their anti-AMR benefits by reducing unwarranted antibiotic consumption and antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains and by promoting herd immunity. A number of new investigational vaccines, with a potential to reduce the spread of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens, are also in various stages of clinical development. Nevertheless, vaccines as a tool to combat AMR remain underappreciated and unfortunately underutilized. Global mobilization of public health and industry resources is key to maximizing the use of licensed vaccines, and the development of new prophylactic vaccines could have a profound impact on reducing AMR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and the resulting coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) have afflicted tens of millions of people in a worldwide pandemic. Safe and effective vaccines are needed urgently. METHODS In an ongoing multinational, placebo-controlled, observer-blinded, pivotal efficacy trial, we randomly assigned persons 16 years of age or older in a 1:1 ratio to receive two doses, 21 days apart, of either placebo or the BNT162b2 vaccine candidate (30 μg per dose). BNT162b2 is a lipid nanoparticle-formulated, nucleoside-modified RNA vaccine that encodes a prefusion stabilized, membrane-anchored SARS-CoV-2 full-length spike protein. The primary end points were efficacy of the vaccine against laboratory-confirmed Covid-19 and safety. RESULTS A total of 43,548 participants underwent randomization, of whom 43,448 received injections: 21,720 with BNT162b2 and 21,728 with placebo. There were 8 cases of Covid-19 with onset at least 7 days after the second dose among participants assigned to receive BNT162b2 and 162 cases among those assigned to placebo; BNT162b2 was 95% effective in preventing Covid-19 (95% credible interval, 90.3 to 97.6). Similar vaccine efficacy (generally 90 to 100%) was observed across subgroups defined by age, sex, race, ethnicity, baseline body-mass index, and the presence of coexisting conditions. Among 10 cases of severe Covid-19 with onset after the first dose, 9 occurred in placebo recipients and 1 in a BNT162b2 recipient. The safety profile of BNT162b2 was characterized by short-term, mild-to-moderate pain at the injection site, fatigue, and headache. The incidence of serious adverse events was low and was similar in the vaccine and placebo groups. CONCLUSIONS A two-dose regimen of BNT162b2 conferred 95% protection against Covid-19 in persons 16 years of age or older. Safety over a median of 2 months was similar to that of other viral vaccines.

Abstract
Background Because of the number and variability of serotypes causing pneumococcal disease among different geographic regions, age groups, and environmental backgrounds, expanding serotype coverage with pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) is a continued unmet need. Methods This phase 1, randomized, double-blind study included healthy Japanese adults aged 18–49 years residing in the United States. Subjects were randomized 1:1:1 to receive a single dose of a 20-valent PCV (containing 13-valent PCV [PCV13] serotypes plus 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F, 33F), a novel pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine with extended coverage, or PCV13 (control). Safety was the primary endpoint and included reactogenicity events occurring ≤ 14 days after vaccination, adverse events (AEs) ≤ 1 month after vaccination, and serious AEs (SAEs) ≤ 6 months after vaccination. The secondary endpoint was pneumococcal serotype-specific immunogenicity as determined by opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) titers on sera collected before and 1 month after vaccination. Results Overall, 35 subjects received PCV20 and 35 subjects received PCV13. One subject withdrew before the 1-month follow-up. Local reactions and systemic events across groups were generally mild or moderate (Figure 1). Two vaccine-related AEs occurred (injection site erythema and swelling in the PCV20 group); no severe AEs, SAEs, or safety-related withdrawals were reported. OPA geometric mean titers increased for all 20 serotypes in the PCV20 group and all 13 serotypes in the PCV13 group 1 month after vaccination; corresponding OPA geometric mean fold rises from baseline to 1 month after vaccination are reported (Figure 2; Figure 3).

Conclusion PCV20 was well tolerated and induced serotype-specific functional OPA immune responses that are anticipated to be associated with protection in Japanese adults.
