Filter by: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).
The purpose of this study is to determine if 2 doses of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) followed by 1 dose of Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPV) in HIV-infected children on anti-HIV therapy is helpful and safe in fighting pneumococcal infections in this group of children. This study will also look at the protection provided by childhood vaccination against measles, pertussis, and hepatitis B virus. Pneumococcal infections are the most common AIDS-related infection in HIV-infected children. PCV may help reduce the chances of HIV-infected children getting pneumococcal infections. This study will look at whether pneumococcal vaccines are safe and effective in HIV-infected children receiving HAART. It will look at whether HIV-infected children are protected by childhood vaccines received previously and if more doses are safe and improve protection.
OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the efficacy of 2 acellular pertussis vaccines vs. whole-cell pertussis vaccine vs. placebo in infants living in Italy. II. Compare the relative protection of each of the acellular vaccines vs. the whole-cell vaccine vs. laboratory-confirmed pertussis. III. Assess the relative efficacy of the acellular vaccines with respect to one another. IV. Assess the immunogenicity of acellular vs. whole-cell vaccines in the study population. V. Compare the frequency of adverse events with each vaccine. VI. Compare the frequency of adverse events attributable to the pertussis component in each of the 3 vaccines. VII. Assess alternative laboratory diagnostic techniques for pertussis in estimating vaccine efficacy, i.e., mucosal immune response, DNA probes, or antibody response to other components of the organism. VIII. Assess the relative efficacy estimates of each vaccine, using clinical criteria to compare the relative incidence rates in each vaccine group.
OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the safety and efficacy of acellular 2-component vs. acellular multicomponent vs. whole-cell pertussis vaccine vs. placebo in infants living in Sweden. II. Compare the relative protection of each vaccine against atypical or subclinical pertussis infection. III. Analyze possible laboratory correlates to vaccine protection.
OBJECTIVES: Assess the efficacy of a single infusion of a high titer pertussis immune globulin for the treatment of severe pertussis in children.
