What is being measured

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

  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

    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.

    Measured: 1 month post 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.

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

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 7 post-vaccination

Secondary outcomes (2)
  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

    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.

    Measured: 1 month post 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

    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.

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 7 after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing DTaP-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine, Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™ vaccine and Oral poliomyelitis vaccine (OPV) in people with Diphtheria and Tetanus, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 4 sites in Philippines.

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 9 inclusion and 21 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 22 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Philippines. 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 22 Oct 2013). 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 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). 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?
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 22 Oct 2013.
