Filter by:The purpose of this phase IIIb study is to determine whether children who have not received a 3-dose primary vaccination with the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine before their 6 months of age, can receive the vaccine as part of a catch-up immunization schedule. The immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine will be evaluated for four different age groups with different schedules: < 6 months of age group: 3-dose primary vaccination + a booster dose. 7 to 11 months of age group: 2-dose primary vaccination + a booster dose. 12 to 23 months of age group: 2-dose vaccination; no booster dose. 24 months to 5 years of age group: 1-dose vaccination; no booster dose. Children below 6 months of age will receive concomitantly a DTPa-IPV/Hib vaccine.
This study will evaluate safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine compared to Prevenar™ when co-administered with DTPw-HBV/Hib and OPV or IPV vaccines, according to 2 different schedules: 6-10-14 weeks or 2-4-6 months of age. The study has 2 groups. - One group of subjects will receive a 3-dose primary vaccination with the GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (three different lots will be used and randomly allocated). - The 2nd group of subjects will receive a 3-dose primary vaccination with Prevenar™. All children will receive concomitantly DTPw-HBV/Hib and OPV or IPV vaccines. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the primary study. The objectives & outcome measures of the Booster study are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number =00547248).
Three dose primary vaccination of healthy infants between 6 to 16 weeks of age at the time of the first vaccination against Streptococcus pneumonia, Neisseria meningitidis and Haemophilus influenzae type b.
To evaluate the immunological memory against pneumococcal vaccine serotypes in children primed with conjugate vaccines by administering a booster dose of plain polysaccharide vaccine.
As the licensed pneumococcal vaccine is not always satisfactory in elderly, new investigational pneumococcal vaccines are evaluated in the healthy elderly population. Note: The study consists of the primary phase (106068): vaccination and follow-up and the extension (106072) of the primary phase: 1 year follow-up. This protocol posting details the procedures of both the primary & extension phase.
Evaluate lot-to-lot consistency, safety and reactogenicity of 3 doses of GSK Biologicals' 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and non-inferiority with respect to Prevenar.
Evaluate the immune response of GSK Biologicals' 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine one month after completion of a 3-dose primary vaccination course administered at 2, 3, 4 months of age
Assess immuno, reacto of the 10-valent pneumococcal vaccine after 2 doses (2, 4 months of age) and after the complete 2, 4, 11 months schedule when co-administered with DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib or DTPa-IPV/Hib (according to national recommendations)
