Immunogenicity and Safety Study of Proquad® and Infanrix® Hexa When Administered Concomitantly (V221-035)

February 19, 2018 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

An Open, Randomised, Comparative, Multicentre Study of the Immunogenicity and Safety of Concomitant Versus Separate Administration of a Combined Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella Live Vaccine (ProQuad®) and a Booster Dose of Infanrix® Hexa in Healthy Children 12 to 23 Months of Age

Primary Objective:

  • To demonstrate that ProQuad® can be administered concomitantly with a booster dose of Infanrix® hexa to healthy children 12 to 23 months of age without impairing either the antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b; or to the 3 pertussis antibody titres measured at 42 days following vaccination.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To describe the antibody titres and the antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenzae type b as measured at 42 days following vaccination by an Infanrix® hexa primary series schedule and all data are pooled.
  • To evaluate the safety profile of ProQuad® when administered concomitantly with a booster dose of Infanrix® hexa by an Infanrix® hexa primary series schedule and all data are pooled.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Meeting Antibody Response Rate Criteria to Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella
Time Frame: Day 42
The percentage of participants with seronegative baseline values who met antibody response criteria in Arm 1: ProQuad® + Infanrix® hexa and Arm 2: ProQuad® was determined. Post-vaccination antibody response and baseline seronegativity criteria were as follows: measles antibody titre ≥255 mIU/mL in participants with baseline titre <255 mIU/mL; mumps antibody titre ≥10 ELISA Ab units/mL in participants with baseline titre <10 ELISA Ab units mL; rubella antibody titre ≥10 IU/mL in participants with baseline titre <10 IU/mL; varicella antibody titre ≥5 gpELISA units/mL in participants with baseline titre <1.25 gpELISA units/mL. Measles, mumps and rubella antibody levels were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and varicella antibody levels were determined with glycoprotein-based ELISA (gpELISA).
Day 42
Percentage of Participants Meeting Post-vaccination Antibody Response Rates to Hepatitis B and Haemophilus Influenzae Type B
Time Frame: Day 42
The percentage of participants with seronegative baseline values who met antibody response criteria in Arm 1: ProQuad® + Infanrix® hexa and Arm 3: Infanrix® hexa was determined. Post-vaccination antibody response and baseline seronegativity criteria were as follows: Hepatitis B antibody titre ≥10 IU/mL and Haemophilus Influenzae Type b antibody titre ≥1 ug/mL. Hepatitis B antibody levels were determined using anti-HBs ORTHO ECi Immunodiagnostic Assay. Haemophilus Influenzae Type b antibody (anti-polyribosylribitol phosphate [PRP]) levels were determined with radioimmunoassay (RIA) or with enzyme immunoassay (EIA).
Day 42
Post-vaccination Geometric Mean Titres (GMT) to Pertussis
Time Frame: Day 42
The GMT to pertussis were compared in Arm1: ProQuad® + Infanrix® hexa and Arm 3: Infanrix® hexa. Anti-pertussis toxin (anti-PT), anti-filamentous hemagglutinin (anti-FHA), and anti-pertactin (anti-PRN) were determined using ELISA on solid phase based on sandwich principle.
