  • Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days in total) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs during the period within six months prior to the booster vaccine dose. For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone ≥0.5mg/kg/day, or equivalent. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.
  • Administration of long-acting immune-modifying drugs at any time during the study period (e.g. infliximab).
  • A vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol administered during the period starting from 30 days before the booster dose of study vaccine and ending 30 days after*, with the exception of inactivated influenza vaccine and other vaccines given as a part of the national/regional immunization schedule, that are allowed at any time during the study period.
  • In case an emergency mass vaccination for an unforeseen public health threat (e.g.: a pandemic) is organised by the public health authorities, outside the routine immunization program, the time period described above can be reduced if necessary for that vaccine provided it is licensed and used according to its SPC or Product Information (PI) and according to the local governmental recommendations and provided a written approval of the Sponsor is obtained.

  11. Number of Subjects With Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

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

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

    SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation, resulting in disability/incapacity

    Measured: From booster dose up to study end (approximately 6 or 7 months, per subject)

  13. Number of Subjects With an ASQ-3 Score (Ages & Stages Questionnaires, Third Edition) in the Black Zone

    Neurodevelopmental status was measured by ASQ-3 score scale [ASQ-3, 2016] in the black zone. The ASQ-3 included a series of questions designed to assess 5 areas of development (communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social). Any subject who scored below the cut-off i.e., a score more than 2 Standard Deviations (SDs) below the mean score for the U.S. reference group (i.e., black zone in the score chart) in any of the 5 domains of the ASQ-3 was to be referred to a developmental specialist for a formal neurodevelopmental assessment (using the Bayley Scale for Infant Development, Version III [BSID-III])

    Measured: At 9 months of age, 18 months of age, and 9 or 18 months of age

  14. Number of Subjects Referred for Formal Neurodevelopmental Evaluation Using BSID-III (Bayley Scale for Infant Development, Version III)

    Any subject who scored below the cut-off i.e., a score more than 2 Standard Deviations (SDs) below the mean score for the U.S. reference group (i.e., black zone in the score chart) in any of the 5 domains of the ASQ-3 was referred to a developmental specialist for a formal neurodevelopmental assessment (using the Bayley Scale for Infant Development, Version III BSID-III)

    Measured: At 9 months of age, 18 months of age, and 9 or 18 months of age

  15. Estimated Proportion of Infants With at Least One of the Indicators of Neurodevelopmental Impairment Using BSID-III (Bayley Scale for Infant Development, Version III)

    The estimated proportion (expressed in percentage) of infants with a BSID-III indicator of neurodevelopmental delay was based on ASQ-3 black zone indicator and subsequent BSID-III assessment using the following formula: 100 * (Number of subjects with ASQ-3 below cut off / Number of enrolled subjects with available results) * (Number of subjects with at least one indicator of neurodevelopmental delay using BSID III / Number of subjects referred for BSID III evaluation)

    Measured: At 9 months of age, 18 months of age, and 9 or 18 months of age

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Infanrix hexa in people with Diphtheria and Hepatitis B, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 29 sites in 6 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 20 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 14 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 29 sites in Spain, Czechia, Finland, Italy, Canada and 1 more country. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 14 Jan 2020). 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 Anti-diphtheria (Anti-D), Anti-tetanus (Anti-T), Anti-hepatitis B (Anti-HBs), Anti-poliovirus Type 1, Anti-poliovirus Type 2, Anti-poliovirus Type 3 and Anti-polyribosyl-ribitol Phosphate (Anti-PRP) (time frame: At one month after the booster dose (Day 30)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02853929, 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 14 Jan 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
