Filter by:The purpose of the study is to demonstrate consistent results in 3 production lots of Hib-MenAC vaccine when extemporaneously mixed with Tritanrix™-HepB and administered as a single injection, with respect to immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity. Tritanrix™-HepB/Hiberix™ given alone and Wyeth Lederle's meningococcal C conjugate vaccine (Meningitec™), given concomitantly with Tritanrix™-HepB/Hiberix™ will be used as benchmark vaccines for all antigens except for MenA. The immunogenicity of MenA will also be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to compare the reactogenicity & safety of Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib-MenAC vaccine to the international standard of care, Tritanrix™-HepB/Hiberix™.
This study will only include infants born to mothers who are tested as seronegative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) & hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The purpose of this study is to demonstrate in infants who received a birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine that Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib-MenAC vaccine is at least as good as Tritanrix™-HepB/Hiberix™ with respect to immunogenicity of the hepatitis B antigen.
A trial to characterize the immunogenicity of 2 different formulations of a vaccine from GSK Biologicals, including the following five antigens: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b. A vaccine from Commonwealth Serum Laboratories (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis) which is co-administered with Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine will also be used as a comparator. Reactogenicity and safety of all vaccines will be assessed as well.
In this study, infants who were previously vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine at birth will be randomly allocated into two groups: - one group of subjects will receive diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis- hepatitis B virus-inactivated poliovirus/Haemophilus influenzae type b (DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib) vaccine at 6-10-14 weeks of age - the second group of subjects will receive DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine at 2-4-6 months of age
To demonstrate that the immune response to hepatitis B antigen of the DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T is non-inferior to that of the association of PENTAXIM™ and ENGERIX B® one month after a three dose (2-3-4 month) primary series. Immunogenicity - To assess pre- and post-primary series - To assess pre- and post-booster series.
To demonstrate that DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine does not induce a higher incidence rate of high fever than Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™ and Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) after any of the three vaccinations at 2, 4, and 6 months of age for each subject. To evaluate the overall safety in terms of: Any solicited adverse reactions in the first 7 days after each injection, Any adverse events and reactions in the first 30 days after each injection, Any serious adverse events during the trial. Immunogenicity: To document the immune response to Hepatitis B antigen of the three batches of the investigational DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T vaccine.
Booster and immune memory study
Post-marketing evaluation of reactions following receipt of recommended adolescent pertussis vaccine among persons with prior vaccination with acellular vs whole-cell pertussis vaccine. To describe and characterize adverse events occurring after vaccination with REPEVAX® (Tdap-IPV: combination diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis with inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine) or COVAXIS® (Tdap: combination diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis) vaccine among two groups: Group 1 - adolescents 10-14 years of age who participated in study 371-03/01 (and thus received a 5th dose of TRIPEDIA® vaccine) and Group 2 - controls 10-14 years of age who were vaccinated with at least three doses of a whole-cell pertussis vaccine in infancy plus at least one subsequent dose of pertussis vaccine in their 2nd through 7th year of life.
This study will assess both the antibody persistence of the investigational vaccine and the immune response and safety of a booster dose of PENTAXIM™ vaccine in 18 months-old toddlers who participated in an earlier study in order to determine if they are still protected before they receive a booster dose of D, T, IPV, pertussis or Hib vaccines and also to assess the quality of the induced immune memory in response to a booster dose of the same vaccine as in the primary series. Primary Objective: To describe the antibody persistence at 18 months of age and the booster effect of a dose of PENTAXIM™ on immunogenicity. Secondary objective: To describe the safety profile of the booster dose PENTAXIM™ in each vaccine group defined by the vaccines received during the primary series.
