    Assessed solicited general symptoms were drowsiness, fever [defined as axillary temperature equal to or above (≥) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)], irritability and loss of appetite. Any = occurrence of any general symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 Irritability= crying that could not be comforted/prevented normal activity. Grade 3 Drowsiness/Loss of appetite= Drowsiness/Loss of appetite that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = fever above (>) 39.5°C. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Measured: During the 4-day (Day 0-3) follow-up period post-vaccination

  13. Number of Subjects With Any Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.

    Measured: During the 31-day (Day 0-30) follow-up period post-vaccination

  14. Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Zilbrix-Hib and Tritanrix™-HepB/ Hiberix™ in people with Whole Cell Pertussis and Haemophilus Influenzae Type b, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 3 sites in India.

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 15 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 18 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in India. 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 18 Aug 2017). 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 Seroprotected Subjects Against Polyribosyl-ribitol-phosphate (PRP) Antigens (time frame: At Month 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 NCT00473668, 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 18 Aug 2017.
