Filter by:To evaluate the immunogenicity, persistence of antibodies and reactogenicity of GSK Biologicals' DTPa (INFANRIX) and dTpa (BOOSTRIX), when administered to subjects 18-20 months old, compared with not giving a booster DTP vaccine at 18-20 months. Study double blinded for the two DTP vaccines and single blinded for the control arm.
The present trial is a follow-up of AL203 study (NCT00343889). Primary Objectives: To describe the antibody persistence at 15 to 18 months of age and the booster effect of a dose of DTaP-HB-PRP~T or Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™ (given concomitantly with Oral Polio Vaccine [OPV]). Secondary Objective: To describe the safety profile of a booster dose of DTaP-HB-PRP~T or Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™ when administered concomitantly with OPV in each vaccine group.
To compare the reactogenicity of ADACEL® vaccine given at intervals of 2 to 9 years with the reactogenicity of ADACEL® vaccine given at an interval of 10 or more years following the last previous administration of vaccine containing Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids (referred to as TD/Td).
DTaP-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine is being developed in order to comply with expanding programs for immunization in infancy, while offering the benefit of a reduced number of injections, and potentially of an increased acceptance. Primary Objectives: - To describe the antibody persistence at 12 to 18 months following a three-dose primary series vaccination of either DTaP-HB-PRP~T or Tritanrix-Hep B/Hib™ given at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age, and one dose of Hepatitis B (Hep B) vaccine given at birth. - To describe the effect of a booster dose of DTaP-HB-PRP~T on immunogenicity at 12 to 18 months following a three-dose primary series vaccination of either DTaP-HB-PRP~T or Tritanrix HepB/Hib™ given at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age, and one dose of Hep B vaccine given at birth. Secondary Objective: - To describe the safety profile of the booster dose of the DTaP-HB-PRP~T vaccine when administered concomitantly with Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV).
An open clinical trial to study the immune response and safety after giving a booster dose (5th Dose) of a combination vaccine against Diphteria-Tetanus-Pertussis-Polio to healthy adolescents 15-16 Years of age. The first three doses were given during the first year of life, according to the Norwegian child immunization program. The fourth dose was given in a previous clinical trial performed in 1998 when the children were 6-7 years old. In 2006 there was a change in the child immunization program in Norway: a fourth dose of a Combination Vaccine Against Diphteria-Tetanus-Pertussis-Polio is given to children 6-7 years old. This study will give us information if there is need for an additional dose (5th dose) of a combination vaccine, containing the pertussis components, before the adolescents are leaving secondary school.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the persistence of antibodies against all the vaccine antigens 1, 3, 5 and 9 years after an initial vaccination with Tdap, and also to assess immunogenicity and safety of another dose of Boostrix, administered in this study. This protocol posting deals with objectives and outcome measures of the extension phase. The objectives and outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00346073).
The purpose of this observer-blind study is to generate immunogenicity data with one formulation of GSK Biologicals' DTPw-HBV/Hib vaccine after the primary vaccination course and to demonstrate non-inferiority of this vaccine as compared to two formulations of GSK Biologicals' DTPw-HBV/Hib vaccine with respect to the anti-PRP antibody response. Additionally to assess the reactogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' DTPw-HBV/Hib vaccine. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.
Currently, there is no 5-component acellular pertussis vaccine licensed for the 5th dose in US children aged 4 to 6 years.This study is aimed at providing evidence of sero-protection, booster response and safety of this formulation as a 5th dose. Primary Objective: - To compare the immune responses of Tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) Vaccine to Diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine (all antigens) when each is administered as a 5th dose and given concurrently, to children aged 4 to 6 years. Secondary/Observational Objectives: - To compare the immune responses for pertussis antigens of Tdap Vaccine to DTaP vaccine (for pertussis antigens) when each is administered as a 5th dose and given concurrently, to children aged 4 to 6 years. - To present the long-term immunogenicity at 1-, 3-, and 5-years post-vaccination after each long-term follow-up. - To describe the safety profile following vaccine administration.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety in terms of fever (rectal temperature) higher than 39 degree Celcius (°C) and the immunogenicity in terms of antibody response following a booster vaccination with pneumococcal vaccine GSK1024850A at 11 to 18 months of age in children previously primed with the same vaccines including a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine co-administered with a diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (DTPa)-combined and meningococcal serogroup C (MenC) or combined meningococcal serogroup C and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib-MenC) vaccine. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00334334).
It is well recognized that older adults can contract pertussis, suffer its complications, and unwittingly transmit it to close contacts, which may well include infants too young to have received their primary series of DTaP vaccinations. ADACEL® vaccine is currently licensed in the US for persons 11 - 64 years of age, but no pertussis vaccine is yet approved for administration to older adults. The most widely used Td vaccine in the US, DECAVAC®, has no upper limit on its age indication. The purpose of this trial is to describe the safety and immunogenicity of ADACEL® vaccine among individuals ≥ 65 years of age.
