    Abstract

    © 2015 The Authors. Background: Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of healthcare-acquired morbidity and mortality and increased healthcare resource utilization. A prophylactic vaccine is being developed that may reduce this disease burden. Methods: Volunteers in good general health aged 50-85 (n=312) and 18-24 (n=96) years were randomized to receive a single intramuscular dose of one of three dose levels of a non-adjuvanted, 3-antigen S. aureus vaccine (SA3Ag) or placebo. SA3Ag antigens included capsular polysaccharides 5 and 8 (CP5 and CP8), each conjugated to cross-reactive material 197 (CRM197), and recombinant clumping factor A (ClfA). Safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity were evaluated. Results: At day 29 post-vaccination, robust immune responses were observed in both age cohorts at all three SA3Ag dose levels. In the primary analysis population, the 50- to 85-year age stratum, geometric mean-fold-rises in competitive Luminex® immunoassay antibody titers from baseline ranged from 29.2 to 83.7 (CP5), 14.1 to 31.0 (CP8), and 37.1 to 42.9 (ClfA), all (P
