ABSTRACT: Background
Pneumococcal diseases cause considerable morbidity and mortality in adults. V116 is an investigational 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) specifically designed to protect adults from pneumococcal serotypes responsible for the majority of residual pneumococcal diseases. This phase 3 study evaluated safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V116 in pneumococcal vaccine-experienced adults aged ≥50 years.Methods
A total of 717 adults were enrolled to receive a single dose of pneumococcal vaccine as follows: cohort 1 (n = 350) previously received 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) and were randomized 2:1 to receive V116 or PCV15, respectively; cohort 2 (n = 261) previously received PCV13 and were randomized 2:1 to receive V116 or PPSV
