E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Primary Safety Endpoint(s)
The frequency and percentage of subjects with solicited local and systemic AEs from vaccination to day 7 in study V98_06E1. Time intervals after vaccination that will be summarized are: the first 30 minutes after vaccination, days 1-3 (excluding the first 30 min), days 4-7 and days 1-7 (excluding the first 30 min).
The frequency and percentage of subjects with any unsolicited AEs from the day of vaccination (day 1 in study V98_06E1) to day 31.
The frequency and percentage of subjects with SAEs, medically attended AEs, and AEs leading to study withdrawal from vaccination in study V98_06E1 to day 181.
Primary Immunogenicity Endpoint(s)
The primary immunogenicity endpoints are the percentages of subjects who reach predefined sequential serotype-specific (Ia, Ib and III) serum antibody levels at day 61 post vaccination, as measured by ELISA. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The secondary immunogenicity endpoints are:
The percentage of subjects reaching pre-defined sequential serotype-specific (Ia, Ib and III) serum antibody levels as measured by ELISA at other time points and in subgroups of subjects defined by their pre-vaccination serotype-specific GBS antibody LLQ status in the V98_06 study (or the V98_06E1 study for the naive group).
The serotype-specific (Ia, Ib, and III) geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) as measured by ELISA at days 31 and 61 post-vaccination in study V98_06E1 and in the subgroups of subjects defined according to their pre-vaccination serotype-specific GBS antibody LLQ status in the V98_06 study (or V98_06E1 study for the naive group).
The within subject geometric mean ratio (GMR) of serotype-specific (Ia, Ib & III) serum antibody levels as measured by ELISA at day 31 and 61. The GMRs will be determined relative to pre-vaccination in V98_06E1 and separately relative to pre-vaccination in V98_06 for all groups except the naive group. The GMRs will also be determined for
subgroups of subjects defined according to their pre-vaccination serotype-specific GBS antibody LLQ status in the V98_06 study or V98_06E1 study for the naive group.
Reverse cumulative distribution function (RCDF) curves of serotype-specific (Ia, Ib and III) serum antibody levels, as measured by ELISA, at pre-vaccination in V98_06 study or V98_06E1 study for the naive group, vaccination, day 31 and day 61 post-vaccination in all subjects and by pre-vaccination serotype-specific GBS antibody LLQ status in the V98_06 study or V98_06E1 study for the naive group.
The anti-diphtheria geometric mean antibody concentrations measured by ELISA for samples collected before the first vaccination with GBS Trivalent Vaccine in the V98_06 study or V98_06E1 study for the naive group and on day 61 post-vaccination in V98_06E1. |
