A Study to Learn About Revaccination With a Vaccine Called RSVpreF in Immunocompromised Adults

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)

The purpose of this phase 3 study is to learn the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of revaccination with RSVpreF at approximately 1-, 2-, and 3-year intervals to inform the revaccination interval in immunocompromised adults. This study is seeking participants who are 18 years of age and older and will be grouped based on prior RSV vaccination history. Participants are required to be immunocompromised per study protocol. All participants in this study will receive 1 shot to their arm of a RSVPreF vaccine. Participants will take part in this study for about 12 months and will need to visit the clinical study site at least 4 times.

A Study to Learn About a Clostridioides Difficile Vaccine in People 65 Years of Age and Older

Clostridoides Difficile Associated Disease

The purpose of the study is to learn about how effective, safe, and tolerable the Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) vaccine is in decreasing the number of C. difficile infections (pCDI) in adults 65 years of age or older. The participants will receive either the C. difficile vaccine or placebo (saline). A placebo does not contain any active ingredients. The vaccines will be given as a shot into the upper arm muscle. This study looks at the number of diarrhea (loose stools) events related to a C. difficile infection, so the length of the study can change. If these events happen quickly, the study may finish sooner; if they happen slowly, it could take longer. Sometimes, the study might stop early if the vaccine clearly does not work. Participants will stay in the study until enough events have occurred to answer the main question. On average, each person is expected to take part for up to about three and a half years. During this time, participants will have 3 planned clinic visits and 3 planned phone visits. After these visits, more scheduled clinic visits will happen every year until the end of study. Besides the scheduled study visits, if at any time during the study a participant has 3 or more loose stools in 24 hours, they will be asked to save the next one (the fourth or later) and contact the study site. The study site will check to see if it could be a C. difficile infection. This check may happen at the clinic or through a phone or video call.

A Study to Learn About How a New Pneumococcal Vaccine Works in Infants.

Pneumococcal Disease

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of a new pneumococcal vaccine and how the new pneumococcal vaccine helps to fight against germs that can cause pneumonia (lung infections), meningitis (brain infections), and otitis media (ear infections) in infants when compared to the pneumococcal vaccine that is currently in use, 20vPnC (Prevnar 20®). This study will test if the new pneumococcal vaccine is as safe as the one that is currently in use. It will also assess how the new vaccine works in comparison to the one that is currently in use when given with other childhood vaccines. To measure how the new pneumococcal vaccine compares to the current one, blood samples will be used to measure the body's ability to create proteins to fight those germs. This new vaccine can possibly provide additional protection against germs that cause pneumococcal disease that are not included in the vaccines that are currently given to infants. Pneumococcal disease includes a variety of infections caused by a specific germ, Streptococcus pneumoniae. There are three groups in this study. All participants will be assigned to one of the three groups. This study is seeking participants who are: * infants who are 2 months of age in Group 1; * infants who are 2 to 6 months of age in Groups 2 and 3; and * said to be healthy by the study doctor About 3000 infants will be assigned to Group 1. The infants in this group will have a 1 in 2 chance (50%) of receiving either PG4 (new vaccine) or 20vPnC (currently in use) into the left thigh muscle at 2, 4, 6, and 12 to 15 months of age. About 140 infants from outside the United States will be assigned to Group 2. The infants in this group will have a 1 in 2 chance (50%) of receiving either PG4 or 20vPnC into the left thigh muscle at 2 to 6, 3 to 8, 4 to 10, and 12 to 15 months of age. About 90 infants from outside the United States will be assigned to Group 3. The infants in Group 3 will have a 1 in 3 chance (33%) of receiving either PG4 into the left thigh muscle, PG4 under the skin of the left thigh, or 20vPnC into the left thigh muscle at 2 to 6, 3 to 8, 4 to 10, and 12 to 15 months of age. Infants in Group 1 will take part in this study for about 16 to 19 months (about 1 and a half years). Infants in Groups 2 and 3 will take part in this study for 12 to 21 months (about 1 to 1 and a half years). During this time, infants will have 6 study clinic visits and 1 phone call. At these study clinic visits, parent(s)/legal guardian(s) will be asked if the infant experienced any side effects. A side effect is an unintentional or unexpected reaction to a vaccine. Infants will have 3 blood samples collected.

A Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of 3 Lots of a Multivalent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Administered to Adults

Pneumococcal Disease

The purpose of this study is to provide safety data and demonstrate lot consistency with the PG4 vaccine by evaluating the immunogenicity of 3 different lots of this vaccine. This study will compare a new pneumococcal vaccine with the vaccine currently in use to see if they are similarly safe. It will also compare three batches of the new vaccine to make sure they work the same way. Blood samples will be taken to measure how the body responds to the vaccines. The study will be conducted in the United States. Participants will be assigned to 1 of 4 groups. Group 1: PG4 vaccine lot 1; Group 2: PG4 vaccine lot 2; Group 3: PG4 vaccine lot 3; Group 4: 20vPnC. Within each group, participants will be assigned by chance in a 2:2:2:1 ratio to receive 1 vaccine injection (shot) with either PG4 (new vaccine) lot 1, PG4 lot 2, PG4 Lot 3 or 20vPnC, given in the arm. This means that for every 7 participants, about 2 will receive either PG4 lot 1, lot 2 or lot 3 and about 1 will receive 20vPnC. Each participant will take part in the study for approximately 6 months.

Study to Evaluate Safety, Efficacy and Immunogenicity of Acne mRNA Vaccine in Adults With Moderate to Severe Acne

Acne

The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and immunogenicity of up to 3 intramuscular injections of the Acne mRNA vaccine candidate at up to four dose levels in adult participants aged 18 to 45 years with moderate to severe acne. This trial will consist of a Core Study followed by an optional Long-Term Extension (LTE). The Core Study will consist of: * Two cohorts evaluating the 2-administration regimen (Cohorts A): Sentinel Cohort A and Main Cohort A. * Two cohorts evaluating the 3-administration regimen (Cohorts B): Sentinel Cohort B and Main Cohort B. Participants from Sentinel Cohorts A and B and from Main Cohort A will be invited to an additional 30-month follow up after completing their last planned Core Study visit to assess the long-term effects of the vaccine. Participants from Main Cohort B will be invited to another LTE study managed through a separate protocol.

A Phase 3 Study of Revaccination in Subsequent Pregnancies With Bivalent RSV Vaccine and Duration of Protection of a Single Dose

RSV Infection

This study aims to check how safe and well-tolerated a second dose of RSVpreF is when given during later pregnancies, and to see how long the immunity lasts from a single dose given during a previous pregnancy by examining the blood of nonpregnant participants who had the vaccine before.
