A Study to Assess the Safety, Reactogenicity and Immunogenicity of a Trivalent Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine (IPV) Based on Sabin Strains Compared to Conventional Salk IPV in a 6, 10 and 14 Weeks of Age Immunization Schedule

A Phase 2, Observer-blind, Active-controlled, Randomized Dose-finding Study in Healthy Infants to Assess the Safety, Reactogenicity and Immunogenicity of 3 Dose Levels of a Trivalent Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine Based on Sabin Strains Compared to Conventional Salk IPV, in a 6, 10 and 14 Weeks of Age Immunization Schedule, and Co-administered With Diphtheria, Tetanus, Whole Cell Pertussis, Haemophilus Influenzae Type b, Hepatitis B, Pneumococcal Conjugate and Rotavirus Vaccines

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and reactogenicity of 3 different dose levels of inactivated poliovirus vaccine based on Sabin strains (sIPV) in healthy participants, using conventional Salk IPV (cIPV) as an active control.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants with Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Events (AEs)	Number of participants with solicited local and systemic AEs will be determined up to 7 days after first vaccination. Solicited local AEs (including erythema, swelling/induration, and pain/tenderness at the study vaccine injection site) and systemic AEs (loss of appetite/change in eating habits, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased activity/lethargy, increased or decreased sleep, irritability, persistent crying and fever) will be assessed.	7 days after first vaccination
Number of Participants with Solicited Local and Systemic AEs	Number of participants with solicited local and systemic AEs will be determined up to 7 days after second vaccination. Solicited local AEs (including erythema, swelling/induration, and pain/tenderness at the study vaccine injection site) and systemic AEs (loss of appetite/change in eating habits, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased activity/lethargy, increased or decreased sleep, irritability, persistent crying and fever) will be assessed.	7 days after second vaccination

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Percentage of Participants with Seroprotection	Percentage of participants with seroprotection will be reported. Seroprotection is defined as having a poliovirus neutralizing antibody (NAb) titer greater than or equal to (>=)8 at 28 days after the third vaccination for each poliovirus strain against Salk virus neutralization assay (VNA).	28 days after the third vaccination
Percentage of Participants with Seroconversion	Percentage of participants with seroconversion will be reported. Seroconversion is defined as: 1) Pre-vaccination poliovirus NAb titer less than (<)8 and post-vaccination NAb >=8 at 28 days after the third vaccination for each poliovirus strain against Salk VNA, or 2) Pre-vaccination poliovirus NAb titer >=8 and post vaccination >=4 fold increase in poliovirus NAb titer (with correction for maternal-antibody decline at Week 18, with a half-life of maternal antibodies of 1 month), at 28 days after the third vaccination for each poliovirus strain against Salk VNA.	28 days after the third vaccination
Poliovirus Type- and Strain-specific Neutralizing Antibody (NAb) Responses	Poliovirus NAb titers will be determined against the wild-type Salk strains (Type 1 [Mahoney], Type 2 [MEF-1] and Type 3 [Saukett]) as well as against the Sabin strains (Types 1, 2 and 3), in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations for immunogenicity assessment of inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV).	28 days after the third vaccination
