Study of a Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine When Administered Concomitantly With Routine Pediatric Vaccines in Healthy Toddlers and Infants

Safety and Immunogenicity of a Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine When Administered Concomitantly With Routine Pediatric Vaccines in Healthy Toddlers and Infants

Primary objectives:

• To assess the safety profile of each SP0202 formulation and Prevnar 13 in toddlers and infants (after each and any injection).
• To assess the immune response (serotype specific IgG concentration) of the SP0202 formulations and Prevnar 13 1 month after the administration of one dose in toddlers (Groups 1-4)
• To assess the immune response (serotype specific IgG concentration) of the SP0202 formulations and Prevnar 13 1 month after the administration of 3 doses in infants (Groups 5-8)
• To assess the immune response (serotype specific IgG concentration) of the SP0202 formulations and Prevnar 13 1 month after administration of a 4-dose schedule in infants (Groups 5-8)

Secondary objectives:

• To assess the immune response (serotype specific OPA titer) of the SP0202 formulations and Prevnar 13 1 month after the administration of one dose in toddlers (Groups 1-4)
• To assess the immune response (serotype specific OPA titer) of the SP0202 formulations and Prevnar 13 1 month after the administration of 3 doses in a subset of infants (Groups 5-8)
• To assess the immune response (serotype specific OPA titer) of the SP0202 formulations and Prevnar 13 1 month after administration of a 4-dose schedule in a subset of infants (Groups 5-8)
• In toddlers: to describe the Ab responses against Pentacel antigens before and 1 month following injection of Pentacel
• In infants: to describe the Ab responses against antigens of the routine pediatric vaccines (Pentacel, RotaTeq, ENGERIX-B, M-M-RII, and VARIVAX) when administered concomitantly with either SP0202 or Prevnar 13 (at pre-Dose 1 (as applicable) for RotaTeq, Diphteria, Tetanus and Pertussis antigens; at PD3 for ENGERIX-B, RotaTeq, and Pentacel; at PD4 for M-M-RII and VARIVAX])

For toddlers, the duration of each participant's participation in the study will be approximately 6 months for subjects enrolled in Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4.

For infants, the duration of each participant's participation in the study will be approximately 16 to 19 months for subjects enrolled in Groups 5, 6, 7, and 8.

• Verbal report of thrombocytopenia contraindicating intramuscular vaccination in the Investigator's opinion
• Bleeding disorder, or receipt of anticoagulants in the 3 weeks preceding inclusion, contraindicating intramuscular vaccination in the Investigator's opinion

This exception includes monovalent pandemic influenza vaccines and multivalent influenza vaccines
• Receipt of immune globulins, blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months
• Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy, within the preceding 6 months; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy (prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 consecutive weeks within the past 3 months)
