Clinical Trial Summary

This is a study to evaluate the immune response and safety of GSK Biologicals 2-dose inactivated hepatitis A vaccine when administered with a diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis combination (DTaP) vaccine and a Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib) vaccine in children 15 months of age. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

• History of hypersensitivity/allergic reaction to latex

• Major congenital defects or serious chronic illness,

• History of any neurologic disorder

• Acute disease at the time of vaccination.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Seropositive Subjects for Anti-hepatitis A Virus (HAV) Antibodies Following the Second Dose of Havrix	Subjects are defined as being anti-HAV seropositive if their anti-HAV antibody concentration is = 15 milli-International Units per milliliter (mIU/mL).	31 days following the second dose of Havrix™
Primary	Number of Anti-diphtheria, Anti-tetanus and Anti-polyribosylribitol Phosphate (PRP) Seroprotected Subjects	Subjects are defined as being anti-diphtheria, anti-tetanus and anti-PRP seroprotected if their anti-diphtheria and anti-tetanus antibody concentration is = 0.1 International Units per milliliter (IU/mL) and if their anti-PRP antibody concentration is = 1 microgram per milliliter (µg/mL), respectively.	31 days following the administration of Infanrix™ and ActHIB
Primary	Number of Vaccine Responders for Anti-pertussis Toxoid (PT), Anti-filamentous Hemagglutinin (FHA) and Anti-pertactin (PRN)	Subjects are considered as being vaccine responders if they were initially seronegative and become seropositive (= 5 Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay Units per Milliliter (EL.U/mL)), or were initially seropositive and have a 2-fold increase above pre-study concentrations.	31 days following the administration of Infanrix™ and ActHIB
