Group 2 names the comparator: placebo.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Staphylococcus Aureus 4-antigen (SA4Ag) | Participants randomized to SA4Ag received a single dose of 0.5 mL SA4Ag vaccine intramuscularly, 10 to 60 days prior to their scheduled surgery. Participants were followed from vaccination up to 6 months after their spinal surgical procedure. | 14 | 1,544 | OG000 |
| Group 2 | Placebo | Participants randomized to this arm received placebo containing the vaccine excipients reconstituted in 0.5mL water for injection. It was administered via intramuscular injection, 10 to 60 days prior to scheduled surgery. Participants were followed from vaccination up to 6 months after their spinal surgical procedure. | 14 | 1,547 | OG001 |

Outcome
- Type
- PRIMARY
- Title
Number of Participants With Postoperative Staphylococcus (S.) Aureus Bloodstream Infection (BSI) And/or Surgical-site Infection (SSI-Including Deep Incisional or Organ/Space) Occurred Within 90 Days After Spinal Surgery
- Description
BSI: clinical infection involved a recognized pathogen (S. aureus) cultured from 1 or more blood cultures or a commensal organism cultured from 2 or more blood cultures whether primary or secondary to infection at another site. SSI: infection at a surgical incision. Types of SSI in this outcome measure: Deep incisional SSI: infection involved deep soft tissues of incision (example \[e.g.\] fascial and muscle layers), Organ/space SSI: infection involved any part of body excluding skin incision, fascia or muscle layers, that was opened or manipulated during operative procedure. Overall number of participants with postoperative BSI and/or SSI (including deep incisional or organ/space), caused by S. aureus, occurred within 90 days of post elective open posterior spinal fusion surgery with multilevel instrumentation, as confirmed by event adjudication committee (EAC) have been reported. A participant may have met criteria for both BSI and SSI (deep incisional or organ/space).
- Time frame
- Day of surgery (Day 1) up to Day 90
- Population
Per-protocol (PP) efficacy population: all eligible participants, vaccinated as randomized, who underwent surgery per study-defined criteria within 9-90 days (inclusive) post vaccination (expanded from 10-60 days window in protocol), had no infection/malignancy at surgery and had no major protocol violation prior to reporting S. aureus infection.
