Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the immune response in terms of serotype-specific IgG concentrations induced by 11 common serotypes of NUCOVAC -11 vaccine alone and in comparison, to 13-valent PREVENAR 13 , 1 month after three dose series. Timepoint: Day 0 and Day 84

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To evaluate the immune response in terms of serotype-specific IgG concentrations induced by 11 common serotypes of NUCOVAC -11 vaccine alone and in comparison, to 13-valent PREVENAR 13 , 4 weeks after booster dose. 2. To evaluate serum functional antibody response in terms of serotype specific OPA titers in random subset of 25% vaccinated subjects of NUCOVAC -11 compared to an equal number of subjects vaccinated with PREVENAR 13 vaccine at 4 weeks after a three-dose primary series & four weeks after the booster dose. 3. To assess and compare the safety and reactogenicity of NUCOVAC -11 vaccine with PREVENAR 13 throughout the study.Timepoint: Day 0, Day 84 for primary series; and Pre-booster and 4 weeks after the booster dose.
