Filter by:Pre-licensure studies of GSK Biologicals' Boostrix® have shown it to be generally safe and well-tolerated. This post-licensure study is designed to evaluate relatively uncommon/rare outcomes in a large population cohort. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.
Pediacel™ is currently licensed in the UK for use as a 3 dose regimen for the active immunisation of infants against Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Poliomyelitis and invasive infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b. However there are currently no clinical data supporting the use of Pediacel™ using a 3, 5, and 12 months of age vaccination schedule. This study is designed to provide safety and immunogenicity data to support the use of Pediacel™ according to a 3, 5, and 12 months schedule.
New immunization recommendations in the US include vaccination of adolescents against pertussis and meningococcal disease. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that Tdap (Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid And Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed) and MCV4 (Meningococcal conjugate vaccine against serotypes A, C, Y and W-135) vaccines be administered to adolescents at the same office visit if vaccination with both vaccines is indicated. Therefore, this study is designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a booster vaccination with Boostrix co-administered with Menactra as compared to the administration of either vaccine alone in healthy adolescents 11 - 18 years of age.
The aims of this study are to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a booster dose of GSK Biological's candidate Tdap vaccine containing 0.3 mg Al when administered to healthy school children and adolescents (9-13 years of age) previously vaccinated with five consecutive doses of Pa-containing vaccine. The inclusion of hepatitis A vaccine (Havrix®) as a control vaccine enables this study to be conducted in a double-blinded in terms of immunogenicity and safety assessments.
To further characterize the vaccine safety profile and to identify any signals of potentially vaccine-related adverse events (AEs) not detected during pre-licensure studies.
The overall aim of the study is to corroborate that a schedule consisting of 3 doses of Pentacel™ and a 4th dose of DAPTACEL® and ActHIB® or 4 doses of Pentacel™ or 4 doses of Quadracel and ActHIB® is as safe and immunogenic as a standard of care schedule based on 3 doses of the licensed-equivalent vaccines DAPTACEL®, Vero cell derived Inactivated Poliovirus vaccine (IPOL®), and ActHIB® and a 4th dose of DAPTACEL® and ActHIB®.
This study will be conducted in two stages. In the diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTP) booster phase, subjects will receive a booster dose of Tritanrix-HepB/Hib-MenAC or Tritanrix-HepB/Hiberix (active control) at 15 to 18 or 24 months in a single-blind manner so that the subjects' parents will not know which vaccine was administered to their child. In the Mencevax ACWY phase at 24-30 months, a dose of Mencevax ACWY will be given in an open manner to only those subjects who received less than 4 doses of Tritanrix-HepB/Hib-MenAC. No blood samples will be taken in this safety study.
The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate the lot-to-lot consistency of 3 production lots of GSK Biologicals' Hib-MenAC (Haemophilus influenzae type b and meningococcal serogroups A and C) vaccine when reconstituted with Tritanrix™-HepB (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and hepatitis B) vaccine and administered as a single injection.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of a booster dose of DTPw-HBV/Hib-MenAC compared to DTPw-HBV/Hib given to healthy subjects at 15 to 24 months of age primed with 3 doses of Tritanrix-HepB/Hib-MenAC in study 100480. Antibody persistence will be evaluated at 24 to 30 months. Immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of a dose of Mencevax ACWY given at 24 to 30 months will also be evaluated when given to subjects not boosted with a MenA conjugate and/or MenC containing vaccine.
This study will evaluate the safety and immune response to GlaxoSmithKline Tdap vaccine compared to licensed Td vaccine when used as a booster in healthy adolescents (10-18 years of age).
