E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of V114 with respect to the
proportion of participants with adverse events (AEs)

- To evaluate the anti-pneumococcal polysaccharide (PnPs) serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) at 30 days postvaccination (Day 30) for each vaccination group.

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

- To evaluate the anti-PnPs serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) at 30 days postvaccination (Day 30) for each vaccination group.
- To evaluate the anti-PnPs serotype-specific Geometric Mean Fold Rises (GMFRs) from prevaccination (Day 1) to 30 days postvaccination (Day 30) for both OPA and IgG responses for each vaccination group

E.2.3

Trial contains a sub-study

Yes

E.2.3.1

Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives

Merck will conduct Future Biomedical Research on DNA (blood and saliva) specimens collected during this clinical trial. Such research is for biomarker testing to address emergent questions not described elsewhere in the protocol (as part of the main trial) and will only be conducted on specimens from appropriately consented subjects. The objective of collecting specimens for Future Biomedical Research is to explore and identify biomarkers that inform the scientific understanding of diseases and/or their therapeutic treatments. The overarching goal is to use such information to develop safer, more effective drugs, and/or to ensure that subjects receive the correct dose of the correct drug at the correct time.

E.3

Principal inclusion criteria

The participant must:
1. Have a documented diagnosis of SCD in their medical record.
2. Be male or female, from 5 years to 17 years of age (inclusive), at the time of obtaining the informed consent/assent.
3. Not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least 1 of the following conditions applies:
a. Not be a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP)
OR
b. A WOCBP must agree to follow the contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for at least 6 weeks after the last dose of study intervention.
4. Have a legally acceptable representative who understands the study procedures, alternate treatments available, and risks involved with the study and voluntarily agrees to participate by giving written informed consent/assent. The legally acceptable representative may also provide consent/assent for future biomedical research. However, the participant may participate in the main study without participating in future biomedical research.

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

The participant must be excluded from the study if:
1. Has a history of IPD (positive blood culture, positive cerebrospinal fluid culture, or positive culture at another sterile site) or known history of other culture-positive pneumococcal disease within 3 years of Visit 1 (Day 1).
2. Has a known hypersensitivity to any component of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), or any diphtheria toxoid-containing vaccine.
3. Has a known or suspected impairment of immunological function.

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last visit of the last subject undergoing the trial

The overall study ends when the last participant completes the last study-related telephone call or visit, withdraws from the study, or is lost to follow-up (ie, the participant is unable to be contacted by the investigator).
For purposes of analysis and reporting, the overall study ends when the Sponsor receives the last laboratory result or at the time of final contact with the last participant, whichever comes last.
