Filter by:The purpose of this study is to collect safety information following routine vaccination with Infanrix-IPV among infants and children in Korea.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness, safety and feasibility of a tetanus toxoid (TT) vaccination strategy relying on the maintenance of vaccines in a controlled temperature chain (CTC). The CTC is defined as the storage and transport of vaccines within a temperature range appropriate to the heat stability profile of TT vaccine. In this study vaccines are transported and stored in the cold chain up to district level. From district to beneficiary level vaccines are exposed to ambient temperatures during a limited period of time. In an initial phase, the stability of 3 lots of TT vaccine kept in CTC is determined. For this, the potency, safety, pH and adsorption of vaccines maintained in CTC will be tested in the laboratory and compared to vaccines that have been maintained in cold chain. If all parameters (i.e. potency, safety, pH and adsorption) are above WHO specifications the strategy in CTC will be used. Only if the laboratory results are adequate, villages will be assigned to one of the vaccination strategies. All women between 14 to 49 years of age in the selected villages who fulfill the inclusion criteria will be invited to participate. In order to determine the baseline anti-tetanus protection, TT vaccination history will be collected from all participants using a standardized questionnaire. Women who have already received at least 2 doses of TT vaccine will be excluded from the study. Moreover, blood will be collected from all participants to later verify in laboratory the baseline protection. A first dose of TT vaccine will be given according to the assigned strategy (CTC or cold chain). Four weeks after the 1st vaccination, a second TT vaccine will be given using the same strategy employed for the first dose. Finally, four weeks after the second dose, a blood sample will be collected from all participants who received two doses of vaccine. The serological responses will be compared in the group that received two doses of TT vaccine maintained in cold chain ant the group that received two doses of vaccine maintained in CTC.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES - To describe in 11 to 13-year-old children previously vaccinated with either REVAXIS or DT Polio at 6 years of age the antibody persistence against diphtheria, tetanus, and poliovirus types 1, 2 and 3 - To describe one month after a booster dose of TETRAVAC-ACELLULAIRE the immune responses against diphtheria, tetanus, and poliovirus types 1, 2 and 3 SECONDARY OBJECTIVES - To describe other parameters of the antibody persistence against diphtheria, tetanus and poliomyelitis antigens - To describe other parameters of the immune responses to diphtheria, tetanus and poliomyelitis antigens one month after a booster dose of TETRAVAC-ACELLULAIRE - To describe the safety profile of a booster dose of TETRAVAC-ACELLULAIRE
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of 9 different vaccines containing aP (acellular pertussis) and TdaP (acellular pertussis, tetanus and diphtheria) in healthy subjects 18 to 40 years of age.
The study will assess the safety of Pentaxim® vaccine as a three-dose primary vaccination at 2, 3, and 4 months of age in order to meet the regulatory requirements for the license renewal as for any other product registered in China, and to generate additional clinical data using the three-dose primary vaccination schedule in some other Chinese provinces. Primary Objective - To describe the safety after administration of PENTAXIM® at 2, 3, and 4 months of age in the study population.
This study will evaluate immunogenicity, safety and tolerability of fully liquid pentavalent vaccine (DTwP-Hib-HepB Vaccine) in infants 6-8 weeks of age.
This study will assess the immunogenicity and safety of the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' (formerly SmithKline Beecham Biologicals') combined DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib (Infanrix hexa™) vaccine administered in the 3rd, 5th, 11th month of life. The last dose of DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib will be given simultaneously with one dose of OPV vaccine.
The study will compare the immunogenicity and the reactogenicity of INFANRIX™ HEXA and HEXAVAC™ vaccines in a 3, 5 and 11 - 12 month vaccination schedule.
This study will assess the immunogenicity and safety of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' (formerly SB Biologicals') DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib (Infanrix hexa™) vaccine compared with separate administration of DTPa-HBV-IPV (Infanrix penta™) and Hib (Hiberix™) vaccine administered at 3, 5 and 11 (or 12) months of age.
This study will assess the immunogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' (formerly SmithKline Beecham Biologicals') DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib (Infanrix hexa™) vaccine compared to the separate administration of DTPa-HBV-IPV (Infanrix™ penta) and Hib (Hiberix™) vaccines administered at 3 and 5 months of age.
