Study to Determine Protective Efficacy Against Otitis Media and Assess Safety of an Investigational Pneumococcal Vaccine 2189242A in Healthy Infants

The purpose of this study is to 1) demonstrate the protective efficacy against acute otitis
media (AOM), 2) assess safety of the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' pneumococcal vaccine
GSK2189242A in Native American infants aged less than 24 months, living in the southwestern
US, in and around the Navajo and White Mountain Apache reservations, and 3) evaluate the
impact on acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRI) up to the second year of life.

The study will also evaluate the impact of the pneumococcal vaccine GSK2189242A on
nasopharyngeal carriage in a subgroup of children called Carriage subgroup. Immunogenicity
and reactogenicity of the pneumococcal vaccine GSK2189242A will be evaluated in another
subgroup of children called Immuno/reacto subgroup.

Protocol Posting has been updated following Protocol Amendment 3, April 2012, leading to the
addition of a secondary outcome measure.

Protocol Posting has been updated following Protocol Amendment 7, March 2017, to add
serological testing for antibodies against the Hib polysaccharide PRP on samples collected 12
months following booster dose (Month 22) in the Immuno/reacto sub-cohort, in order to
evaluate the long term persistence of immune responses to co-administered PedvaxHIB vaccine.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Subject who the investigator believes that their parent(s)/Legally Authorized
Representative(s) (LARs) can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol.

- A male or female American Indian infant between, and including, 6 and 12 weeks (42-90
days) of age at the time of the first vaccination.

- Voluntary, written informed consent obtained from the parents/LAR(s) of the subject.
Where parent(s)/LAR(s) are illiterate, the consent form will be countersigned by a
witness.

- Healthy subject as established by medical history and clinical examination before
entering into the study.

- Born after a gestation period of more than 35 6/7 weeks.

Exclusion Criteria:

For all infants:

- Child in care.

- Use of any investigational or non-registered product other than the study vaccine(s)
within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the
study period.

- Chronic administration of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs since
birth.

- Planned administration/administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol
starting from 30 days before each dose and ending 30 days after each dose of study
vaccines, with the exception of licensed inactivated influenza vaccines and
recommended pediatric vaccines.

- Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study
period, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a
non-investigational product.

- Previous vaccination against S. pneumoniae.

- Obstruction or anomalies of the nasopharyngeal space.

- Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on
medical history and physical examination.

- Family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.

- History of any reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component
of the vaccine(s) including latex.

- Major congenital defects or serious chronic illness.

- History of any neurological disorders or seizures.

- Acute disease and/or fever at the time of enrollment.

- Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products since birth or planned
administration during the study period.

- Any medical or social condition which might interfere with the assessment of the study
objectives in the opinion of the investigator.

For infants in the Immuno/reacto subgroup only:

• Previous vaccination against H. influenzae type b.
