Study of BK1301 (DTaP Vaccine) as a Booster in Adolescents

December 15, 2025 updated by: Tanabe Pharma Corporation

Confirmatory Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity of Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed (DTaP Vaccine, BK1301) as a Booster in Adolescents

This study is designed to assess the immunogenicity and safety of DTaP vaccine (BK1301) as a booster dose in adolescents.

The purposes of this study are as follows:

  • To confirm the non-inferiority of BK1301 to Adsorbed Diphtheria-Tetanus Combined Toxoid (DT toxoid) with respect to booster responses for anti-diphtheria toxoid (anti-D) and anti-tetanus toxoid (anti-T) antibodies
  • To confirm that booster responses for anti-pertussis toxoid (anti-PT) and anti-Filamentous Hemagglutinin (anti-FHA) antibodies are more than 80% of participants received BK1301

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Booster Responses for Anti-diphtheria Toxoid (Anti-D) and Anti-tetanus Toxoid (Anti-T) Antibodies
Time Frame: pre-vaccination and 28-42 days after vaccination
Booster response was defined as post titer ≥ 0.4 IU/mL and post/pre titer ≥ 4 increase.
pre-vaccination and 28-42 days after vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Booster Responses for Anti-pertussis Toxoid (Anti-PT) and Anti-Filamentous Hemagglutinin (Anti-FHA) Antibodies
Time Frame: pre-vaccination and 28-42 days after vaccination
Booster response was defined as post titer ≥ 20 EU/mL and post/pre titer ≥ 4 increase in a subject with pre titer < 20 EU/mL, or post/pre titer ≥ 2 increase in a subject with pre titer ≥ 20 EU/mL.
pre-vaccination and 28-42 days after vaccination
