Study Name Design PPV23 Naïve Age group Duration of follow up PCV13 (N)1 PPV23 (N)1 PLB (N) Immunogenicity2
Jackson 2013a [26] R, DB Y 50-64 years 4 years Baseline for 60-64 yrs: N=417 (411)
At 1 year for 50-59 yrs: N=406
Baseline for 60-64 yrs: N=414 (407) - In 60-64 yrs: PCV13 arm had a statistically significantly higher OPA titers in 9/13 serotypes (1,4,6A,6B,7F,9V,18C,19A,23F) compared to PPV23.
In 50-59 yrs: PCV13 arm had a statistically significantly higher OPA titers in 9/13 serotypes (1,4,5,6A,6B,7F,9V,14,19A) compared to G2.
Jackson 2013b [27] R, DB N ≥70 years 1 year 431 448 - PCV13 arm had a statistically significantly higher OPA titers in 11/13 serotypes (1,4,5,6A,6B,7F,9V,18C,19A,19F,23F) compared to PPV23.
Greenberg 2014 [29] R, DB Y 60-64 years 1 year 482 238 - PCV13 arm had a statistically significantly higher OPA titers in 11/13 serotypes (1,4,5,6A,6B,7F,9V,18C,19A,19F,23F) compared to PPV23.
Juergens 2014 [30] R N ≥65 years 2 years Baseline for PCV13 with AlPO4: N=309 (307)
Baseline for PCV13 without AlPO4: N=305 (302)
Baseline: 301 (300) PCV13 (with AlPO4) arm had a statistically significantly higher OPA titers and IgG GMCs in 11/13 serotypes (1,3,4,5,6A,6B,9V,18C, 19A,19F,23F) compared to PPV23.
PCV13 (without AlPO4): had a statistically significantly higher IgG GMCs in 1/13 serotypes (7F) compared to PCV13 (with ALPO4).
Shiramoto 2015 [31] R, DB Y ≥65 years 4 months 382 382 - PCV13 arm had a statistically significantly higher OPA titers in 13/13 serotypes.
van Deursen 2017 [32] R, DB Y ≥65 years 2 years 1006 - 1005 PCV13 arm had a statistically significantly higher OPA titers in 13/13 serotypes. At 12 months, PCV13 arm had a statistically significantly reached GMFR (OPA titers) in 9/13 serotypes (4,6A,6B, 7F, 14, 18C, 19A,19F, 23F). At 24 months, PCV13 arm had a statistically significantly reached GMFR (OPA titers) in 6/13 serotypes (4,6A,6B, 18C, 19A, 23F).
