Yes

E.2.3.1

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

Premature Infant Immunogenicity Substudy - Objectives
- To evaluate the antipneumococcal polysaccharide (PnPs) serotypespecific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) at 30 days following Dose 3, prior to Dose 4 and at 30 days following Dose 4 for each vaccination group.
- To evaluate the anti-PnPs serotype-specific IgG response rates (proportion of participants meeting serotypespecific IgG threshold value of ≥0.35 μg/mL) at 30 days following Dose 3 for each vaccination group.

Merck will conduct Future Biomedical Research on DNA (blood and buccal swabs) 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

To be eligible for inclusion in this study, the participant must:
1. Be healthy (based on a review of medical history and physical examination) based on the clinical judgement of the investigator.
2. Be male or female approximately 2 months of age, from 42 days to 90 days inclusive, at the time of obtaining the informed consent.
3. 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. The legally acceptable representative may also provide consent for future biomedical research. However, the participant may participate in the main study without participating in future biomedical research.

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

E.5 End points

E.5.1

Primary end point(s)

Following any vaccination with V114:
• Solicited injection-site AEs from Day 1 through Day 14 postvaccination
• Solicited systemic AEs from Day 1 through Day 14 postvaccination
• Vaccine-related serious adverse events (SAEs) through completion of study participation

E.5.1.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

Participants will be followed for local and systemic AEs from Day 1 through Day 14 following each vaccination. Information for SAEs and deaths, regardless of whether the events are considered to be vaccine-related by the investigator, will be collected from the time consent is signed through completion of participation in the study

E.5.2

Secondary end point(s)

Premature Infant Immunogenicity Substudy - Anti-PnP serotype-specific IgG responses for the 15 serotypes contained in V114 at 30 days postdose 3 (PD3), prior to Dose 4 (Predose 4) and at 30 days postdose 4 (PD4)
Anti-PnP serotype-specific IgG response rates for the 15 serotypes contained in V114 at 30 days PD3

E.5.2.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

Participants in the Premature Infant Substudy will have blood drawn (~5 mL) at 3 time points: (1) thirty days following the primary series (third study vaccination, PD3), (2) immediately prior to the fourth study vaccination (pre-dose 4), and (3) thirty days following the toddler dose (fourth study vaccination, PD4). Sera will be used to measure vaccine-induced immune responses (IgG to all 15 vaccine serotypes included in V114)

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.
