Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Subjects With Any Solicited Local and General Symptoms
Solicited local symptoms assessed were pain, redness and swelling. Any solicited local symptom was defined as occurrence of any solicited local symptom regardless of intensity grade. Solicited general symptoms assessed were fatigue, gastrointestinal, headache, malaise, myalgia and temperature Any temperature was defined as oral temperature equal to or above (≥) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C). For other symptoms: Any = any general symptom reported irrespective of intensity grade and relationship to vaccination.
Number of Subjects With Any Unsolicited Adverse Events (AE)
An unsolicited adverse event is any adverse event (i.e. any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product) reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study. Also any "solicited" symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms will be reported as an unsolicited adverse event.
Number of Subjects With Any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.
Number of Subjects With Any Biochemical Laboratory Abnormalities
Biochemical parameters assessed in blood samples include alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (CREA) and urea (URE). Abnormalities reported include values outside the normal ranges. Time points were presented as before (Pre) or after (Post) Dose 1, 2 or 3.
Number of Subjects With Any Hematological Laboratory Abnormalities
Hematological parameters assessed in blood samples include red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC - including Basophils (BAS), neutrophils (NEU), lymphocytes (LYM), eosinophils (EOS) and monocytes (MON), blood platelets (PLA) and Hemoglobin (HEM). Abnormalities reported include values outside the normal ranges. This outcome presents results for RBC, WBC High and Low, PLA and HEM. Time points were presented as before (pre) or after (post) doses 1, 2 or 3.
Number of Subjects With Any Hematological Laboratory Abnormalities
Hematological parameters assessed in blood samples include red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC - including Basophils (BAS), neutrophils (NEU), lymphocytes (LYM), eosinophils (EOS) and monocytes (MON)), blood platelets (PLA) and Hemoglobin (HEM). Abnormalities reported include values outside the normal ranges. This outcome presents results for BAS, NEU, LYM, EOS and MON. Time points were presented as before (Pre) or after (Post) Dose 1, 2 or 3.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Concentrations of Antibodies Against Protein D (Anti-PD), Pneumolysin (Anti-Ply) and Pneumococcal Histidine Triad D (Anti-PhtD)
Concentrations were given as Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs). The cut-off values were 112 Luminex Units per milliliter (LU/mL) for Anti-PD, 391 LU/mL for Anti-PhtD and 591 LU/mL for Anti-Ply.
Mean Number of Influenza-specific Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 4 T-cells.
The mean number was calculated for CD4+ cells stimulated by protein D (PD), pneumococcal histidine triad D (PhtD) or pneumolysin toxoid (dPly), identified as producing T-lymphocyte Helper 1 cells (Th1) versus Th2 cytokines (interferon-gamma (IFN-g) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) respectively, as measured by intracellular staining (ICS) on Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs). The outcome presents results for cells producing the following combinations: Th1=IFN-g, Th 2=IL13 and/or IL5 and Th17=IL17.
Mean Number of Influenza-specific Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 8 T-cells.
The mean number was calculated for CD8+ cells stimulated by protein D (PD), pneumococcal histidine triad D (PhtD) and pneumolysin toxoid (dPly) and expressing the following citokine combinations: C1= at least interleukin 2 (IL2), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) and/or interferon-gamma (IFNg) and C2= at least interleukin 17 (IL17).
