Filter by:This is a booster study in 2 groups of healthy children less than 3 years old to measure the reactogenicity, safety and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, when given as a booster or as a two-dose catch-up vaccination. This protocol posting deals with objectives and outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives and outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00338351).
The purpose of this trial is to assess if the rate of febrile reactions following the co-administration of a booster dose of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines with standard infant vaccines is lowered when paracetamol is given prophylactically and to assess the impact of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on pneumococcal and H. influenzae nasopharyngeal carriage compared to control group receiving meningococcal conjugate vaccine (GSK134612). 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 = NCT00370318).
The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity in terms of antibody response and the safety/reactogenicity in terms of solicited and unsolicited symptoms and serious adverse events following primary vaccination of Mexican infants with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine GSK 1024850A co-administered with a diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (DTPa)-combined vaccine (Infanrix hexa) and rotavirus vaccine (Rotarix) in children during the first 6 months of age.
This is a study in a large number of healthy children less than 3 years old to measure the efficacy of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate candidate vaccine (Synflorix vaccine, or GSK1024850A) to prevent cases of pneumonia (lung infection) likely caused by bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae) or cases of otitis media (ear infection) in children under 3 years old.
Group A streptococcus (GAS) is a bacteria that causes many different sicknesses in children and adults. This study will look at the number of cases of pyoderma (bacterial skin infection) and scabies (skin mites that cause itching) in 550 infants 12 months or younger in Fiji. (GAS can cause pyoderma, and sometimes skin sites infested with scabies can become infected with GAS bacteria.) The study will also look at the makeup of GAS and how certain medications affect GAS. The infants will be involved in the study for approximately 1 week. Their skin will be examined for pyoderma and scabies. A swab sample will be taken from the pyoderma area to test for GAS. The researchers hope to see how often these skin infections occur and how they affect the Fijian population. The information will help the researchers to develop better treatment and possibly a vaccine to prevent infection. Infants with pyoderma that is defined as "greater than mild" will be referred for treatment.
This study aims to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals´ 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine when co-administered with diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis-hepatitis B virus-inactivated polio virus/Haemophilus influenzae type b (DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib) vaccine in preterm infants as a 3-dose primary immunization course during the first 6 months of life. 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 = 00609492)
This study will evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of a booster dose of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine compared to Prevenar™ given at 12-18 mo of age to children primed with either pneumococcal vaccine or Prevenar™ in study 105553. Antibody persistence will be evaluated at 8-14 mo after completion of the 3-dose immunization course in study 105553 (NCT00307554). The immune response to a booster dose of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine will also be evaluated when given at 12-18 mo to subjects not primed with GSK Biologicals' vaccine but with Prevenar™. The study has 3 groups. 1 group of children primed with GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine will receive a booster dose of the same vaccine. 2nd group of children primed with Prevenar™ will receive a booster dose of Prevenar™ (control group). 3rd group of children primed with Prevenar™ will receive a booster dose of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. All children will receive concomitantly a booster dose of DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine.
This study will evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of a booster dose of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, co-admin with a 1st dose or a 2nd dose of MMRV vaccine at 12-14 or respectively 14-16 months of age in children primed with the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in study 105553. Antibody persistence will be evaluated at 8-10 months after completion of the 3-dose immunization course in study 105553. The immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of the 1st and 2nd dose of MMRV vaccine will also be evaluated when co-admin with the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine between 12-16 months of age. The study has 3 groups. - The 1st group will receive the booster dose of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine + 1st dose of MMRV vaccine at 12-14 mo of age and the booster dose of Infanrix hexa™+ 2nd dose of MMRV vaccine at 14-16 mo of age. - The 2nd group will receive the booster dose of Infanrix hexa™ + 1st dose of MMRV vaccine at 12-14 mo of age and the booster dose of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine + 2nd dose of MMRV vaccine at 14-16 mo of age. - The 3rd group will receive the booster dose of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine + the booster dose of Infanrix hexa™ at 12-14 mo. Subjects will be offered one dose of Priorix™ and Varilrix™ at 14-16 mo of age, outside the study.
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).
