Assess the Immune Response Following Primary Vaccination With GSK Biologicals' Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib-MenAC vs Tritanrix™-HepB/Hiberix™ Given at 6,10 & 14 Wks of Age to Infants Who Received Hepatitis B Vaccine at Birth

This study will only include infants born to mothers who are tested as seronegative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) & hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The purpose of this study is to demonstrate in infants who received a birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine that Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib-MenAC vaccine is at least as good as Tritanrix™-HepB/Hiberix™ with respect to immunogenicity of the hepatitis B antigen.

Exclusion criteria

  • Known exposure to diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b and/or meningococcal disease since birth.
  • Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on physical examination.
  • A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
  • Major congenital defects or serious illness.
  • Any neurologic disorders or seizures.
  • Acute disease at the time of enrolment.
  • Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products since birth or planned administration during the study period.

Treatment and study plan

DTPw-HBV/Hib-MenAC conjugate vaccine

Biological

Primary outcomes

  1. One month after the third dose of the primary vaccination, measurement of anti-HBs antibody concentrations.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Immunogenicity: One month after the third dose of the primary vaccination, antibody concentrations or titres against all other vaccine antigens.

  2. Reactogenicity and safety: after each dose: solicited (day 0-3, local & general) & unsolicited (day 0-30) symptoms. Over the full course of the study: serious adverse events (SAEs)"
