Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Subjects Achieving Specific Thresholds of Antibody Concentrations for Subjects in Enrollment Group 1 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 61 ]
    The percentage of subjects achieving a specific threshold of antibody concentrations of ≥ 0.5 µg/mL as determined by ELISA at day 61 across cohorts 1 and 2 for potential use in pregnant women.

  2. Geometric Mean Concentrations of Serum Anti-GBS IgG Antibody Levels by Serotype at Day 61 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 61 ]
    Serotype-specific (Ia, Ib & III) group B streptococcus (GBS) IgG antibody levels in healthy subjects for potential use in pregnant woman was assessed in terms of Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) at Day 61 in cohorts 1 and 2.

  3. Geometric Mean Ratios of Serum Group B Streptococcus IgG Antibody Levels By Serotype [ Time Frame: Day 61/Day 1 ]
    Geometric mean ratios (GMRs) relative to baseline (Day 1) of serotype-specific (Ia, Ib, III) GBS IgG antibody levels measured at Day 61 for subjects across cohorts 1 and 2.

  4. Percentage of Subjects Achieving Specific Thresholds of Antibody Concentrations for Subjects in Enrollment Groups 1 & 2 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 361 ]
    The percentage of subjects achieving a specific threshold of antibody concentrations of ≥ 0.5 µg/mL at day 361 across all the cohorts for potential use in non-pregnant women.

  5. Geometric Mean Concentrations of Serum Anti-GBS IgG Antibody Levels by Serotype at Day 361 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 361 ]
    Serotype-specific (Ia, Ib & III) GBS IgG antibody levels in healthy subjects for potential use in non-pregnant woman was assessed in terms of GMCs at Day 361 across all cohorts.

  6. Geometric Mean Ratios of Serum Group B Streptococcus IgG Antibody Levels By Serotype at Day 361 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and day 361 ]
    GMRs relative to baseline (Day 1) of serotype-specific (Ia, Ib, III) GBS IgG antibody levels in healthy subjects for potential use in non-pregnant women, measured at Day 361 across all cohorts.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants Reporting Solicited Adverse Events (AEs) After Receiving the GBS Trivalent Vaccine in Enrollment Group 1 [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 7 ]
    Safety was assessed in terms of number of participants reporting solicited local and systemic adverse events after receiving trivalent GBS vaccine from day 1 to day 7 for subjects across cohorts 1 and 2.

  2. Number of Participants Reporting Solicited AEs After Receiving the GBS Trivalent Vaccine in Enrollment Group 2 [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 7 ]
    Safety was assessed in terms of number of participants reporting solicited local and systemic adverse events after receiving GBS vaccine from day 1 to day 7 for subjects in cohorts 3 and 4.

  3. Number of Participants Reporting Unsolicited AE After Receiving GBS Trivalent Vaccine in Enrollment Group 1 [ Time Frame: Day 1 through Day 721 ]
    Safety was assessed in terms of number of participants with unsolicited AEs after receiving GBS trivalent vaccine, reported from day 1 to day 721 across subjects in cohorts 1 and 2.

  4. Number of Participants Reporting Unsolicited AE After Receiving GBS Trivalent Vaccine in Enrollment Group 2 [ Time Frame: Day 1 through Day 721 ]
    Safety was assessed in terms of number of participants with unsolicited AEs after receiving GBS trivalent vaccine, reported from day 1 to day 721 across subjects in cohorts 3 and 4.

  5. Persistence of Antibody Response in Terms of Geometric Mean Concentrations by Serotype for Subjects in Enrollment Group 1 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 721 ]
    The persistence of Serotype-specific (Ia, Ib & III) GBS IgG antibody response was assessed by comparing ELISA responses in terms of GMCs at day 721 after the first injection for subjects enrolled in cohorts 1 and 2.

  6. Persistence of Antibody Response in Terms of Geometric Mean Concentrations by Serotype in Subjects in Enrollment Group 2 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 721 ]
    The persistence of Serotype-specific (Ia, Ib & III) GBS IgG antibody response assessed by comparing ELISA responses in terms of GMCs at day 721 after the first injection for subjects enrolled in cohort 3 and 4.

  7. Geometric Mean Ratios of Serum GBS IgG Antibody Levels By Serotype for Subjects in Enrollment Group 1 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 721 ]
    GMR was calculated at Day 721 relative to baseline (Day 1) of serotype-specific (Ia, Ib, III) GBS IgG antibody levels across all cohorts 1 and 2.

  8. Geometric Mean Ratios of Serum GBS IgG Antibody Levels By Serotype for Subjects in Enrollment Group 2 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 721 ]
    GMR was calculated at Day 721 relative to baseline (Day 1) of serotype-specific (Ia, Ib, III) GBS IgG antibody levels across cohorts 3 and 4.
