Brief Summary:

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a pneumococcal 21-valent conjugate vaccine (V116) in pneumococcal vaccine-naïve adults 18 to 49 years of age.

The primary study hypothesis is that all 3 lots of V116 are equivalent as assessed by the serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) at 30 days postvaccination for all serotypes included in V116.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of participants with solicited injection-site adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Up to ~5 days ]
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Solicited injection-site AEs include pain/tenderness, redness/erythema, and swelling.

  2. Percentage of participants with solicited systemic AEs [ Time Frame: Up to ~5 days ]
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Solicited systemic AEs include headache, muscle aches/myalgia, and tiredness/fatigue.

  3. Percentage of participants with vaccine-related serious adverse events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Up to ~6 months ]
    An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongs existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is another important medical event. SAEs that were reported to be at least possibly related by the investigator to study vaccination will be summarized.

  4. Geometric mean titers (GMTs) of serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination with 1 of 3 different lots of V116 [ Time Frame: Day 30 ]
    Serotype-specific OPA GMT for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination will be determined using multiplex opsonophagocytic assay (MOPA).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. GMTs of serotype-specific OPA for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination: combined lots of V116 or PNEUMOVAX™ [ Time Frame: Day 30 ]
    Serotype-specific OPA GMT for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination will be determined using MOPA.

  2. Geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) of serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination with separate V116 lots [ Time Frame: Day 30 ]
    Serotype-specific IgG GMC for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination will be determined using pneumococcal electrochemiluminescence (PnECL).

  3. GMCs of serotype-specific IgG for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination: combined lots of V116 or PNEUMOVAX™ [ Time Frame: Day 30 ]
    Serotype-specific IgG GMC for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination will be determined using PnECL.

  4. Geometric mean fold rise (GMFR) in serotype-specific OPA for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination with separate V116 Lots [ Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Day 30 ]
    Serotype-specific OPA GMFR for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination will be determined using MOPA.

  5. Percentage of participants with ≥4-fold rise in serotype-specific OPA for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination with separate V116 Lots [ Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Day 30 ]
    Percentage of participants with a ≥4-fold rise in serotype-specific OPA for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination will be reported.

  6. GMFR in serotype-specific IgG for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination with separate V116 Lots [ Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Day 30 ]
    Serotype-specific IgG GMFR for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination will be determined using PnECL.

  7. Percentage of participants with ≥4-fold rise in serotype-specific IgG for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination with separate V116 Lots [ Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Day 30 ]
    Percentage of participants with a ≥4-fold rise in serotype-specific IgG for all serotypes in V116 following vaccination will be reported.

  8. GMTs of serotype-specific OPA for cross-reactive serotypes following vaccination with separate V116 Lots [ Time Frame: Day 30 ]
    Serotype-specific OPA GMTs for cross-reactive serotypes following vaccination will be determined using MOPA.
