Lot-to-lot Consistency Study of a 21-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in Healthy Infants From 2 Months of Age

This is a phase 3 randomized, modified double-blind study whose purpose is to measure whether 3 lots of the investigational pneumococcal vaccine PCV21 can help the body to develop germ-fighting agents called "antibodies" (immunogenicity) in a similar way (ie, same immune response) when they are given to infants aged from …

A Phase III Control Study of the Safety and Immunogenicity of vYF in Pediatric Population

The purpose of this study is to determine whether vYF (investigational vaccine) is safe and can help the body to develop antibodies (immunogenicity) compared with Stamaril vaccine and YF-VAX vaccine (both licensed vaccines) and when they are co-administered with Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccines in infants aged 11-15 months. Number …
