Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of V419 in Healthy Infants When Given at 2, 4, and 11 to 12 Months (V419-008)

Acceptability response rates were defined as Ab titre ≥1.0 μg/mL for Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) (polyribosylribitol phosphate, PRP); ≥10 mIU/mL for Hepatitis (HBsAg); ≥0.1 IU/mL for diphtheria and tetanus; ≥8 (1/dil) for inactive poliovirus type (IPV) 1, 2 & 3, and percentage of pertussis seroresponder participants (Pertussis toxoid [PT], Filamentous haemagglutinin [FHA], Fimbriae types 2 & 3 [FIM] and Pertactin [PRN]) 1 month Post-Toddler dose of PR5I. Seroresponse was defined: (1) If pre-Dose 1 Ab concentration (cc) was <LLOQ (lower limit of quantitation), postvaccination Ab cc was ≥LLOQ, (2) If pre-Dose 1 Ab cc was ≥LLOQ, postvaccination Ab cc was ≥prevaccination levels. Due to the timing of the occurrence of protocol violation or the availability of each antigen serology testing result, the analysis populations may not have been identical for each antigen-specific analysis at each post-vaccination visit.

Percentage of participants with an Ab titre ≥1.0 μg/mL for Hib (polyribosylribitol phosphate, PRP) measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) 1 month post-infant dose 2 of PR5I or INFANRIX hexa.

Percentage of participants with an Ab titre ≥1.0 μg/mL for Hib (polyribosylribitol phosphate, PRP) measured by RIA 1 month post-infant dose 2 of PR5I or INFANRIX hexa.

Percentage of participants with pre-specified Ab titre for PRP, HBsAg, diphtheria, tetanus, IPV1, 2 & 3, and percentage of pertussis seroresponder participants (PT, FHA, FIM and PRN) 1 month post-toddler dose were calculated based on the method by Miettinen and Nurminen stratified by country. Seroresponse was defined: (1) If pre-Dose 1 Ab cc was <LLOQ, post-vaccination Ab cc was ≥LLOQ, (2) If pre-Dose 1 Ab cc was ≥LLOQ, post-vaccination Ab cc was ≥pre-vaccination levels. Due to the timing of the occurrence of protocol violation or the availability of each antigen serology testing result, the analysis populations may not have been identical for each antigen-specific analysis at each post-vaccination visit.

Antibody titres expressed in units/mL were measured for Rotavirus IgA by Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA), 1 month after the 2nd dose of Rotarix, administered concomitantly with PR5I or INFANRIX hexa (Post-Dose 2). The 95% CI for GMT was based on the t-distribution of the natural log-transformed antibody titer.

Injection-site and systemic AEs were reported daily on the Vaccination Report Card (VRC) by the parent(s) or legal representative from Day 1 (D1) to D15 after each vaccination. Solicited injection site and systemic AEs were reported daily from D1 to D5 after each vaccination. AEs at injection sites were always considered as vaccine-related (V-related) (Injection-Site Reactions [ISRs]). The investigator had to assess whether systemic AEs were related or not to the vaccine. All AEs (related and unrelated) are displayed here.

Adverse events at injection sites were always considered as related to vaccine (Injection-Site Reactions [ISRs]). Solicited ISRs were defined as injection-site erythema, injection-site pain, and injection-site swelling occurring from D1 to D5 after vaccination.

Adverse events at injection sites were always considered as related to vaccine (Injection-Site Reactions {ISRs]). Unsolicited ISRs occurring from Day 1 (D1) to D15 after any vaccination were reported daily on the VRC by the parent(s) or legal representative. Unsolicited ISRs with incidence ≥1% are reported below.

Solicited systemic AEs were defined as crying, decreased appetite, irritability, pyrexia (rectal temperature ≥38.0°C), somnolence, and vomiting occurring from D1 to D5 after vaccination. The investigator had to assess whether these systemic AEs were related or not to the vaccines. All (related and unrelated) are displayed here.
