Evaluation of the Immunogenicity, Safety and Reactogenicity of the Combined DTPa-IPV Vaccine in Healthy Infants

A Multicentric Study to Compare the Immunogenicity, Safety & Reactogenicity of GSK Biologicals' DTPa-IPV Vaccine vs. Co-administration of GSK's DTPa Vaccine & Sanofi-Pasteurs' IPV Vaccine at Different Injection Sites, to Healthy Children

DTPa and IPV vaccines are recommended for immunization of infants in Korea. The use of combination vaccines simplifies routine paediatric vaccination. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Seroprotected Subjects Against Diphtheria (Anti-D) and Tetanus (Anti-T)	A seroprotected subject was defined as a vaccinated subject with anti-diphteria (anti-D) and anti-tetanus (anti-T) antibody concentrations greater than or equal to (≥) the cut-off value of 0.1 international units/milliliter (IU//mL).	One month (Month 5) post-primary vaccination course

Grade 3 pain = crying when limb was moved/spontaneously painful. Grade 3 redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond 20 millimeters (mm) of injection site.

Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited General Symptoms	Assessed solicited general symptoms were drowsiness, fever [defined as axillary temperature equal to or above 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)], irritability and loss of appetite. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 drowsiness = drowsiness that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = fever > 39.0 °C. Grade 3 irritability = crying that could not be comforted/ prevented normal activity. Grade 3 Loss of appetite = not eating at all. Related = symptom symptoms considered by the investigator to have a causal relationship to vaccination.	During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period, across doses
Number of Subjects Reporting Any Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)	An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.	During the 31-day (Days 0-30) post-vaccination period
Number of Subjects Reporting Any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)	Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity.
