Study Comparing DTP-HB-Hib by Disposable-Syringe Jet Injector To Vaccination By Needle And Syringe In Infants

September 7, 2018 updated by: Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd.

A Phase IV, Non-Inferiority, Observer Blind, Randomized Clinical Study Comparing Safety And Immunogenicity Of DTP-HB-Hib Vaccination by Disposable-Syringe Jet Injector To Vaccination By Needle And Syringe In Healthy Infants In India

This is a study planned to determine and compare immunogenicity and reactogenicity of DTP-HB-Hib vaccine of SIIL delivered either with disposable-Syringe Jet Injector (DSJI) or disposable-syringe needle in total 340 Indian infants aged 6 to 8 weeks at the time of enrollment.

It will provide information to aid managers, device regulatory control officials, immunization programs, and clinicians who make decisions on safe clinical practice standards.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, observer blind, non-inferior, parallel group, multi-centre clinical study to determine and compare immunogenicity and reactogenicity of DTP-HB-Hib vaccine of Serum Institute of India Ltd. delivered either with disposable-Syringe Jet Injector (DSJI) or disposable-syringe needle in total 340 Indian infants. Sera samples will be analyzed by ELISA for seroconversion / seropositivity for each individual component of vaccine i.e. Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Hepatitis B (HBsAg) and Hemophilus Influenza B at 28 days after administration of a third dose of the vaccine.

  6. The participant should be the resident of study area

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Infant subject participating in other clinical trial or planned participation in another clinical trial during the present trial period.
  2. Infant with congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, malignancy or receiving immunosuppressive therapy such as systemic corticosteroids therapy for a period of ≥ 1 week.
  3. Infant with history of allergy or systemic hypersensitivity to any of the vaccine component or history of a life-threatening reaction to the trial vaccine or a vaccine containing the same substances.
  4. Infant with any chronic illness including hepatic, renal, respiratory, CVS, endocrine and neurological illness.
  5. Infants who have received blood or blood-derived products in the past.
