Safety of DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T Combined Vaccine Compared to Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™ and OPV Given at Age 2, 4, and 6 Months.

To demonstrate that DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine does not induce a higher incidence rate of high fever than Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™ and Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) after any of the three vaccinations at 2, 4, and 6 months of age for each subject.

To evaluate the overall safety in terms of:

Any solicited adverse reactions in the first 7 days after each injection, Any adverse events and reactions in the first 30 days after each injection, Any serious adverse events during the trial.

Immunogenicity:

To document the immune response to Hepatitis B antigen of the three batches of the investigational DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T vaccine.

Treatment and study plan

DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T

Biological

0.5 mL, Intramuscular (IM)

Tritanrix-HepB/Hib

Biological

0.5 mL, Intramuscular

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With High Fever Observed After Either DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T or Tritanrix Hep B/Hib™ + Placebo or Tritanrix-Hep B/Hib™ + Placebo Injection.

    Time frame: Day 0 up to Day 7 post-injection

    High fever was defined as rectal temperature equivalent to ≥ 39.6ºC.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Geometric Mean Titers of Anti Hepatitis B Antibodies Following Vaccination With Either DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T Vaccine + Placebo or Tritanrix-Hep B/Hib™ + Placebo

    Time frame: Day 30 post-dose 3

    Anti-hepatitis B (Hep B) antibodies were measured by automated enhanced chemiluminescence assay.

  2. Percentage of Participants Reaching Seroprotection Threshold Following Vaccination With Either DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T Vaccine + Placebo or Tritanrix-Hep B/Hib™ + Placebo

    Time frame: Day 30 post-dose 3

    Anti hepatitis B (Hep B) antibodies were measured by automated enhanced chemiluminescence assay.

    Two Seroprotection thresholds were defined: a titer ≥ 10 mIU/mL and ≥ 100 mIU/mL, respectively.

  3. Number of Participants Reporting at Least One Solicited Injection Site or Systemic Reaction Following Each Vaccination

    Time frame: Day 0 up to Day 7 Post-injection

    Solicited Injection Site Reactions: Pain, Erythema, Swelling. Solicited Systemic Reactions: Pyrexia (Temperature), Vomiting, Crying, Somnolence, Anorexia, Irritability.

    Severe solicited reactions were defined as follows: Pain, cries when injected limb is moved or the movement of the injected limb is reduced; Erythema and Swelling, ≥5 cm; Fever ≥39.6 ºC; Vomiting, ≥6 episodes per 24 hours or requiring parenteral hydration; Crying, >3 hours; Somnolence, sleeping most of the time or difficulty to wake up; Anorexia, refuses ≥3 feeds or refuses most feeds; Irritability, inconsolable.
