Adjusted GMCs and 2-sided 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of toxin A and toxin B specific neutralizing antibody levels were calculated by exponentiating the least square (LS) means and the corresponding CIs based on analysis of logarithmically transformed concentrations using a linear regression model with terms of baseline concentration (log scale) and vaccine group. EIP at Month 7 (EI7): all enrolled participants who received all 3 doses of investigational product; had blood drawn for assay testing within 28 to 47 days after visit 4; had valid and determinate assay results for either toxin A or B for the specified analysis at Month 7; had no major protocol deviations.
Seroresponse was defined as at least a 4-fold rise from the baseline neutralizing antibody level following vaccination. 95% CI was based on Clopper-Pearson method. EI7: all enrolled participants who received all 3 doses of investigational product; had blood drawn for assay testing within 28 to 47 days after visit 4; had valid and determinate assay results for either toxin A or B for the specified analysis at Month 7; had no major protocol deviations.
Local reactions included pain at injection site, redness and swelling. These were recorded by participants in an electronic diary (e-diary). Redness and swelling were measured and recorded in measuring device units, where 1 measuring device unit= 0.5 centimeter (cm). Redness and swelling were graded as mild: 2.5-5.0 cm, moderate: greater than (\>) 5.0-10.0 cm, severe: \>10.0 cm, potentially life threatening: necrosis or exfoliative dermatitis for redness, or necrosis for swelling. Pain at injection site was graded as mild: did not interfere with daily activity, moderate: interfered with daily activity, severe: prevented daily activity, potentially life threatening: emergency room visit or hospitalization. The maximum severity was defined as highest grading of each local reaction through 7 days of vaccination.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received investigational product without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Percentage of participants with any AEs (both serious and all non-serious AEs) and non-serious AEs through 1 month after last study vaccination were reported in this outcome measure. Only AEs and non-SAEs collected by non-systematic assessment (i.e., excluding local reactions and systemic events) were reported in this outcome measure.
SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.
GMC was calculated as the mean of the assay results after making the logarithm transformation and then back transformation to its original scale. Confidence intervals (CIs) were back transformations of CIs based on the Student t distribution for the mean logarithm of the concentrations. Clostridium difficile toxin A and toxin B were inactivated by a combination of genetic mutations to decrease toxin activity and chemical treatments were done prior to final purification and formulation of the drug substance.
