STRIDE-3 Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new pneumococcal vaccine (V116) to see if it is safe, effective, and tolerable. The study will compare V116 to another pneumococcal vaccine (PCV20) in people who have not received a pneumococcal vaccine before. It is expected that V116 will be at least as good as PCV20 for the common serotypes and better than PCV20 for the unique serotypes.
