Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Geometric mean concentration of anti-PsC antibodies for each serotype included in VCN7-T and additional serotypes 6A and 19A (continuous). Measurement time: First stage: Before and 30 days post-vaccination, Second Stage: Before the first dose and 30 days after the second dose. - Seroprotection (dichotomous): Proportion of subjects reaching anti-PsC concentration of antibodies for each serotype included in VCN7-T and additional serotypes 6A and 19A of = 0.20 mg / mL. Measurement time: First stage: Before and 30 days post-vaccination, Second Stage: Before the first dose and 30 days after the second dose. - Seroconversion (dichotomous): proportion of subjects who seroconverted. Measurement time: First stage: Before and 30 days post-vaccination, Second Stage: Before the first dose and 30 days after the second dose. | — |

|---|---|
| Adverse event (AE). Measuring time: 3 hours after each immunization and at 24, 48, 72 hours, 7, 21 and 30 days. -Description of the expected AE (Fever, pain injection site, erythema, induration, local temperature increase, functional impotence, infiltration, abscess, necrosis, headache, malaise, nausea, vomiting, weakness, anaphylactic shock. -Description of the unexpected AE (Any signs or symptoms that appear after the before vaccination and 30 days is not expected within the AE. -Duration of AE ( 24 - 48 - 24 - 48 - <= 72 hours, more than 72 hours). -Intensity of AE (mild, moderate, severe). -Severity of AE (Grave / Serious, not serious). -Results of AE (recovered, recovered with sequelae, persistence, death or unknowns). -Causality relationship (very likely or certain, probable, possible, unlikely, not related, not classifiable). | — |
