Pfizer C4931020

Purpose of this Study

We are doing this study to find out if an experimental vaccine called PG4 is a safe and effective option to protect against pneumococcal disease. We want to find out if the study vaccine can prevent or reduce the severity of these infections in older adults.

What is Involved?

Description

The study vaccine will be given with or without adjuvants called PA-001 and PA-002, which are also experimental. Adjuvants are designed to enhance the effectiveness of vaccines so that they can provide more powerful and longer-lasting protection. After your first study visit, you will get a random assignment (by chance) to 1 of 6 groups:
  • Group 1: If you are in this group, you will get PG4 with a lower dose of PA-001
  • Group 2: If you are in this group, you will get PG4 with a higher dose of PA-001
  • Group 3: If you are in this group, you will get PG4 with a lower dose of PA-002
  • Group 4: If you are in this group, you will get PG4 with a higher dose of PA-002
  • Group 5: If you are in this group, you will get PG4 with no adjuvant
  • Group 6: If you are in this group, you will get Prevnar 20 (an FDA-approved vaccine for pneumococcal disease)
