About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability of different doses of JNJ-63871860 (ExPEC4V) in participants greater than or equal to (>=)18 years of age and to evaluate the dose-dependent immunogenicity of ExPEC as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Full description

This is a Phase 2, double-blind (neither the researchers nor the participants know what treatment the participant is receiving), randomized (study medication assigned to participants by chance), placebo-controlled (an inactive substance; a pretend treatment [with no drug in it] that is compared in a clinical trial with a drug to test if the drug has a real effect), parallel group, multicenter (when more than one hospital work on a medical research study) study, with a single-blind, long-term follow-up to Year 3. The study will be split into 2 phases, a double-blind phase with screening (Day -12 to Day 1), Vaccination (Day 1) and Safety and Immunogenicity Follow-up (Day 1 up to Day 360), and a single-blind long-term follow-up phase thereafter until Year 3 for participants in placebo and two ExPEC4V dose groups selected based on the primary (Day 30) analysis. Participants will be stratified in 2 age groups (>=18 to less than [<] 50 years and >=50 years) and in each dosing group in each stratum randomized to a single vaccination with 1 of 5 doses of ExPEC4V or placebo. The duration of the double-blind phase (from randomization/vaccination) will be approximately 360 days for placebo participants and participants in the dose group selected based on the primary analysis, and approximately 180 days for the participants in the other groups. The duration of the single-blind long-term follow-up phase will be approximately 2 years after the double-blind phase for placebo participants and participants in the selected dose group. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

• Participant must be able to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with all study procedures

• Participant has an acute illness, acute infection, or fever (body temperature greater than or equal to [>=] 38 degree Celsius)
• Participant has a serious chronic disorder, including severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or clinically significant congestive heart failure, requirement for supplemental oxygen, end stage renal disease with or without dialysis, clinically unstable cardiac disease, or has any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the subject (example compromise the well-being) or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments
• Participant has a history of neoplastic disease (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer that was successfully treated) within the past 5 years or a history of any hematological malignancy
• Participant has known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency (including leukemia, HIV seropositivity), has received immunosuppressive therapy (such as anti-cancer chemotherapy, radiation therapy or cytotoxic drugs), within the preceding 6 months; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy [prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 consecutive weeks within the past 3 months]), or has chronic active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection, documented by hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C antibody, respectively

ExPEC4V (4 : 4 : 4 : 4)

Experimental group

Description:

Participants will be stratified according to their age in 2 groups \>=18 to \<50 years and \>=50 years. Part 1: In age group \>= 18 to \<50 years, participants will receive single vaccination of ExPEC4V dose (4 : 4 : 4 : 4) as an intramuscular (i.m) injection into deltoid muscle. The ExPEC4V doses contain polysaccharide antigen (in microgram \[mcg\]) from the ExPEC serotypes O1A, O2, O6A, and O25B. Participants in \>=50 years group will be enrolled in stepwise,dose-escalating procedure. In step 1, lowest dose of ExPEC4V (4:4:4:4) or Placebo will be given, in step 2 either of 2 medium doses of ExPEC4V or placebo and in step 3, either of 2 highest doses of ExPEC4V or placebo. Participants will be enrolled into subsequent steps only if vaccination in previous steps is deemed safe based on review of safety data by the IDMC. Participants will be enrolled into Part 2 only if vaccination in Part 1 is deemed safe based on the review of safety data through Day 8 by the IDMC.
