Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
All subjects must satisfy all the following criteria at study entry:

- Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply with the
requirements of the protocol (e.g. completion of the diary cards, return for follow-up
visits).

- Written or witnessed informed consent obtained from the subject prior to performance
of any study specific procedure.

- Subject satisfying screening requirements.

- Subjects who, after the nature of the study has been explained to them, have shown
adequate comprehension of the study procedures and knowledge of study.

- A male or female

- Dose escalation and safety lead-in phase: Aged between 18 and 50 years of age,
inclusive, at the time of first vaccination.

- PoP phase: Aged between 18 and 64 years of age, inclusive, at the time of first
vaccination.

- Female subjects of non-childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study.
Non-childbearing potential is defined as pre-menarche, current bilateral tubal
ligation or occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral ovariectomy or post-menopause.

- Female subjects of childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study, if the
subject:

- has practiced adequate contraception for 30 days prior to vaccination,

- has a negative pregnancy test on the day of enrolment, and

- has agreed to continue adequate contraception during the entire treatment period and
for 2 months after completion of the vaccination series.

Additional inclusion criteria only for subjects to be enrolled in the dose-escalation
safety lead-in screening epoch:

- Healthy subjects as established by medical history, clinical examination and laboratory
assessment.

Additional inclusion criteria only for subjects to be enrolled in the PoP screening epoch:

- Healthy subjects as established by medical history and clinical examination before
entering into the study with an ongoing SSTI suspected to be caused by S. aureus, as
diagnosed by investigator (before randomization subjects have to be treated until clinical
resolution of culture confirmed SSTI caused by S. aureus). SSTI must be amenable to
microbiological culturing per standard clinical practice (i.e. recovery of drainage sample
from abscess or suppurative cellulitis).

OR

- Healthy subjects as established by medical history and clinical examination before
entering into the study with an ongoing S. aureus SSTI (i.e. S. aureus is the most likely
cause), as confirmed by a S. aureus positive culture performed outside the study procedures
and not earlier than 30 days prior to Informed Consent Form signature. Before randomisation
subjects have to be treated until clinical resolution of the culture confirmed SSTI caused
by S. aureus. These subjects will be enrolled whether they have or have not already started
specific treatment of the infection. In case they have not started the treatment, this will
be then given in compliance with the standard medical practice for the management of S.
aureus SSTIs and the choice and judgment of the most appropriate treatment will be applied
by the investigator, outside the study procedures.

in the period starting 15 days before the first dose and ending 15 days after the last
dose of vaccine(s) administration with the exception of any non-adjuvanted influenza
vaccine which may be administered =7 days before or after each study vaccination

*In case an emergency mass vaccination for an unforeseen public health threat (e.g.: a
pandemic) is organised by the public health authorities, outside the routine
immunisation program, the time period described above can be reduced if necessary for
that vaccine provided it is licensed and used according to its Product Information.

- Any active or ongoing illness at screening or time of injection

- History of any serious chronic or progressive disease according to the judgment of the
investigator

Additional exclusion criteria applied only for PoP at study entry

Summary
Brief summary
Safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of GSK S. aureus candidate vaccine (GSK3878858A) when
administered to healthy adults (dose-escalation) and to adults 18 to 64 years of age with a
recent S. aureus skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI). In the dose-escalation safety lead-in
phase in healthy adults safety and immunogenicity of 4 different compositions is assessed.
After safety has been shown in this phase, in the second phase, proof of principle (PoP)
phase of the study in adults with a recent SSTI safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of the
final composition of the vaccine is assessed.
