Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the persistence of the immune response of GSK134612 vaccine up to 68 months after vaccination in the primary vaccination study (NCT number = NCT00674583) of 2 to 10 year old subjects. This study will also evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a booster dose of GSK134612 vaccine subjects who were primed in the primary vaccination study with either GSK134612 vaccine or Menjugate®.

This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the persistence and booster epochs. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary epoch are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00674583)

Description:

Subjects were previously vaccinated at 2 to 10 years of age with GSK134612 or with Menjugate®. The persistence phase starts 32 months after the primary vaccination and blood samples will be taken at 32, 44, 56 and 68 months after primary vaccination. All subjects will receive a booster dose of GSK134612 at 68 months after primary vaccination and a blood sample will be taken 1 month after administration of the booster dose.
