About this study

Official title: Immunogenicity Study of a DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T Combined Vaccine in Comparison to CombAct-HIB® Concomitantly Administered With Engerix B® Paediatric and OPV at 6, 10, and 14 Weeks of Age in South African Infants

The purpose of this study is to document the immunological response to the investigational hexavalent vaccine at the 6, 10, and 14 weeks schedule

The primary objective is to demonstrate that the hexavalent DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine does not induce lower immune responses than CombAct-HIB® with Engerix B® Paediatric and OPV in terms of seroprotection rates to Diphtheria (D), Tetanus (T), polio, Hepatitis B (HB), and Polyribosyl ribitol phosphate (PRP), one month after a 3-dose primary series (6, 10, and 14 weeks) with no HB vaccination at birth.

The secondary Objectives are:

To describe the safety in terms of any adverse events in the first 28 days after each injection and any serious adverse events during the entire trial.

To describe Immunogenicity after the primary series and prior to and after a booster vaccination.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Seroprotection After Primary Series Vaccination With DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRT~T or CombAct Hib™ + Engerix B™ + Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV)

    Antibodies were measured by the following methods: anti-Hepatitis B (Hep B) by enhanced chemiluminescence detection, anti-Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) by Farr type radio immunoassay, anti-Diphtheria (D) by toxin neutralization assay, anti-Tetanus (T) by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and anti-Poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 by neutralization assay. Seroprotection was defined as the following antibody titers: Anti-Tetanus ≥ 0.01 International Unit (IU)/mL; Anti-Diphtheria ≥ 0.01 IU/mL; Anti-Hepatitis B ≥ 10 mIU/mL; Anti-Polyribosyl ribitol phosphate ≥ 0.15 µg/mL; Anti-polio 1, 2, and 3 ≥ 8 (1/dil).

    Measured: 1 month post-Dose 3

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Participants Attaining Other Seroprotection and Seroconversion Titers After Primary Series Vaccination With DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRT~T (With or Without Engerix B™ at Birth) or CombAct Hib™ + Engerix B™ + Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV)

    Anti-Hepatitis B (Hep B) was measured by enhanced chemiluminescence detection, anti-Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) by Farr type radio immunoassay, anti diphtheria by toxin neutralization assay, anti-Tetanus (T) by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and anti-Pertussis toxoid (PT) and anti-Filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) by ELISA. Seroprotection was defined as a titer ≥ 100 mIU/mL for anti-Hep B; ≥ 1 µg/mL for anti-PRP; ≥ 0.1 IU/mL (Level 1) and ≥ 1.0 IU/mL (Level 2) for anti-Diphtheria and anti-Tetanus.

    Measured: Day 540 pre-booster and Day 570 post-booster

  4. Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Antibodies Pre- and Post-Booster Vaccination With DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRT~T (With or Without Engerix B™ at Birth) or CombAct Hib™ + Engerix B™ + OPV

    Solicited Injection Site Reactions: Pain, Erythema, Swelling. Solicited System Reactions: Fever (Temperature), Vomiting, Crying, Somnolence, Anorexia, Irritability. Grade 3 was defined as: Pain - crying when injected limb is moved or the movement reduced; Erythema and Swelling - ≥ 5 cm; Fever - temperature ≥ 39.0ºC; Vomiting - ≥ 6 episodes/24 hours or requiring parenteral hydration; Crying abnormal - > 3 hours; Somnolence - sleeping most of the time or difficulty to wake up; Anorexia - refusing ≥ 3 feeds or refusing most feeds/meals; and Irritability - inconsolable.

    Measured: Day 0 up to Day 7 post each dose

  6. Number of Participants With Solicited Injection Site (Study Vaccine Site) and Systemic Reactions After Booster Vaccination With DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRT~T (With or Without Engerix B™ at Birth) or CombAct Hib™ + Engerix B™ + Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV)

    Solicited Injection Site Reactions: Pain, Erythema, Swelling, and Extensive swelling of vaccinated limb. Solicited System Reactions: Fever (Temperature), Vomiting, Crying, Somnolence, Anorexia, and Irritability. Grade 3 was defined as: Pain, crying when injected limb is moved or the movement reduced; Erythema and Swelling, ≥ 5 cm; Fever, temperature ≥ 39.0ºC; Vomiting, ≥ 6 episodes/24 hours or requiring parenteral hydration; Crying, > 3 hours; Somnolence, sleeping most of the time or difficulty to wake up; Anorexia, refusing ≥ 3 feeds or refusing most feeds/meals; and Irritability, inconsolable.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T, CombAct-HIB® and Engerix B® Pediatric in people with Hepatitis B and Polio, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 2 sites in South Africa.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in South Africa. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 May 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Seroprotection After Primary Series Vaccination With DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRT~T or CombAct Hib™ + Engerix B™ + Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) (time frame: 1 month post-Dose 3). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00362336, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 May 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
