Assess Immune Response Following Primary Vaccination With Tritanrix™-HepB Vaccine Mixed With 3 Formulations of Hib-MenAC Vaccine to Infants

December 7, 2006 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

Evaluate the Feasibility of GSK Biologicals' Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib-MenAC Vaccine Administered as a 3 Dose Primary Vaccination Course at 6, 10 & 14 Weeks of Age

To compare three formulations of Hib-MenAC vaccines mixed with Tritanrix™-HepB vaccine with that of Tritanrix™-HepB vaccine concomitantly administered with GSK Biologicals' Hiberix™ vaccine and Tritanrix™-HepB vaccine mixed with Hiberix™ vaccine and concomitantly administered with Wyeth Lederle's meningococcal C conjugate vaccine (Meningitec™), with respect to antibody response to vaccine antigens (meningococcal serogroups A and C and PRP) after a three-dose primary vaccination course.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Randomized study with five groups to receive one of the following vaccination regimens: One of the three formulations of GSK Biologicals' Hib-MenAC mixed with GSK Biologicals' Tritanrix™-HepB (3 different groups) GSK Biologicals' Tritanrix™-HepB + GSK Biologicals' Hiberix™ GSK Biologicals' Tritanrix™-HepB mixed with GSK Biologicals' Hiberix™ + Wyeth Lederle's Meningitec™

  • Hepatitis B and Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine received after the first 2 weeks of life.
  • Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition based on medical history and physical examination.
  • Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products since birth or planned administration during the study period.
  • Previous vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and/or meningococcal disease with the exception of a birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
One month after the third dose of the primary vaccination course, measurement of serum bactericidal titers against meningococcal serogroups A and C (SBA-MenA; SBA-MenC) and anti-PRP antibody concentration.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Immunogenicity: Before the first dose, antibody concentrations or titres against vaccine antigens (MenA, MenC, PRP, pertussis)
One month after the third dose, antibody concentrations or titres against all vaccine antigens
Reactogenicity & safety: after each dose: solicited (d 0-7, local & general) & unsolicited (d 0-30) symptoms
Over the full course of the study: serious adverse events (SAEs)
