Inclusion criteria

At Screening:

  • 0 to 3 day old infants
  • Born at full term of pregnancy (≥ 37 weeks) with a birth weight ≥ 2.5 kg
  • Apgar score ≥ 7 at three minutes after birth
  • Informed consent form signed by one parent or legal representative if appropriate (independent witness mandatory if parent is illiterate)

At Inclusion:

  • Six weeks of age
  • Received a dose of Hepatitis B (HB) in the first three days of life
  • Able to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with all trial procedures.

Exclusion criteria

At Screening:

  • Illness at a stage that could interfere with trial conduct or completion
  • Any vaccination before HB vaccination (except bacille Calmette-Guérin [BCG] given at birth)
  • Vaccination planned in the 4 to 6 weeks following the first trial vaccination (except BCG if not given at birth)
  • Acute illness on the day of screening.

At Screening and at Inclusion:

  • Blood or blood-derived products received since birth
  • Planned participation in another clinical trial during the present trial period
  • Mother known as seropositive to Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or Hepatitis C, or as carrying the HB surface antigen (HBsAg)
  • Known thrombocytopenia or bleeding disorder contraindicating intramuscular vaccination
  • Known hypersensitivity to any component of any vaccine to be used in the trial (including neomycin and polymixin B)

At Inclusion:

  • Non-trial vaccine administered since birth, except Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG)
  • Participation in another clinical trial before the first trial vaccination
  • Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, immunosuppressive therapy such as long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy
  • Systemic hypersensitivity to any of the vaccine components or history of a life threatening reaction to the trial vaccine or a vaccine containing the same substances
  • Chronic illness at a stage that could interfere with trial conduct or completion
  • Vaccination other than with the study vaccines planned in the 12 weeks following inclusion
  • Documented history of pertussis, tetanus, diphtheria, polio, H. influenza type b, or HB infection (confirmed clinically, serologically, or microbiologically)
  • History of seizures
  • Febrile (rectal temperature ≥ 38.0°C) or acute illness on the day of inclusion.

Treatment and study plan

DTaP-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine

Biological

0.5 mL, Intramuscular

Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™ vaccine

Biological

0.5 mL, Intramuscular

Oral poliomyelitis vaccine (OPV)

Biological

Oral co-administered with study vaccine.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Seroprotection for Anti-Hep Bs, Anti-PRP, Anti-Tetanus, and Anti-Diphtheria Antibodies After Vaccination With Either DTaP-Hep B-PRP~T Concomitantly With OPV or Tritanrix-Hep B/Hib™ Concomitantly With OPV

    Time frame: 1 month post third vaccination

    Seroprotection was assessed by means of radioimmunoassay (RIA) for anti-Hepatitis B (Hep Bs) and anti-PRP antibodies, enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for anti-Tetanus, and serum neutralization (SN) for anti-Diphtheria.

    Seroprotection was defined as titers ≥ 10 mIU/mL for anti-Hep Bs; ≥ 0.15 μg/mL for anti-PRP; ≥ 0.01 IU/mL for anti-Tetanus and anti-Diphtheria at 30 days after the third vaccination.

  2. Number of Participants With Observed High Fever During the 7-Day After Vaccination With DTaP-Hep B-PRP~T Concomitantly With OPV or Tritanrix-Hep B/ Hib™ Concomitantly With OPV.

    Time frame: Day 0 to Day 7 post-vaccination

    Occurence of at least one high fever episode (≥ 39.6ºC rectal temperature equivalent) observed within 7 days after any of the three injections.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Vaccine Antibodies After Vaccination With Either DTaP-Hep B-PRP-T Concomitantly With OPV or Tritanrix-Hep B/Hib™ Concomitantly With OPV

    Time frame: 1 month post third vaccination

    Immunogenicity was assessed by means of radioimmunoassay (RIA) for anti-Hepatitis B (Hep Bs) and anti-PRP antibodies; enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for anti-Tetanus; serum neutralization (SN) for anti-Diphtheria; and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for anti-Pertusiss (PT) and anti-Filamentous Hemagglutinin (FHA) titers at Day 150, 1 month after the third vaccination.

  2. Number of Participants Reporting At Least One Solicited Injection Site Reaction or Systemic Reactions Following Each Vaccination With Either DTaP-Hep B-PRP-T Concomitantly With OPV or Tritanrix-Hep B/Hib™ Concomitantly With OPV

    Time frame: Day 0 to Day 7 after vaccination

    Solicited injection site reactions: Pain, Erythema, and Swelling; Solicited systemic reactions; Fever (temperature), Vomiting, Abnormal Crying, Drowsiness, Loss of Appetite, and irritability.

    Grade 3 reactions are defined as: Pain - cries when injected limb is moved; Erythema and Swelling - ≥ 5cm; Fever - rectal temperature ≥ 39.6ºC; Vomiting - ≥6 episodes per 24 hours; Crying - inconsolable crying for >3 hours; Somnolence - sleeping most of the time or difficulty to wake up; Anorexia - refuses ≥3 feeds; and Irritability - inconsolable.
