Abstract
Background: Clinical trials have compared new pneumococcal conjugative vaccines (PCVs; PCV15 and PCV20) to an established PCV (PCV13) in a routine 2 + 1 schedule. This study performed an indirect comparison of PCV15 vs. PCV20 immune responses in healthy infants and toddlers.
Research design and methods: Pooled, matching-adjusted PCV15 trials were indirectly compared to the analogous PCV20 trial for IgG response rate difference (RRD) and geometric mean concentration ratio (GMR) at the post-primary series (PPS) and post-toddler dose (PTD) timepoints.
Results: At PPS, PCV15 was non-inferior for RRD and GMR as compared to PCV20 for all PCV13 serotypes. Moreover, PCV15 was superior to PCV20 for the RRDs of serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 9 V, and 23F and GMRs of serotypes 3, 4, 5, 6B, 9 V, and 23F at PPS. At PTD, RRDs were comparable for all PCV13 serotypes, except serotype 3, for which PCV15 was superior. PCV15 was superior for the GMRs of serotypes 3, 6B, and 23F, and comparable for the remaining serotypes at PTD. RRDs for serotypes 22F and 33F were non-inferior at both PPS and PTD.
Conclusion: In a 2 + 1 schedule, PCV15 demonstrates immunogenicity comparable or superior to PCV20 across PCV13 serotypes, especially for serotype 3.
期刊介绍:
Expert Review of Vaccines (ISSN 1476-0584) provides expert commentary on the development, application, and clinical effectiveness of new vaccines. Coverage includes vaccine technology, vaccine adjuvants, prophylactic vaccines, therapeutic vaccines, AIDS vaccines and vaccines for defence against bioterrorism. All articles are subject to rigorous peer-review.
The vaccine field has been transformed by recent technological advances, but there remain many challenges in the delivery of cost-effective, safe vaccines. Expert Review of Vaccines facilitates decision making to drive forward this exciting field.
