What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Seroprotected Subjects Against Polyribosyl-ribitol Phosphate (Anti-PRP)

    A seroprotected subject was a subject whose anti-PRP antibody concentration was greater or equal to (≥) 0.15 microgram per milliliter (µg/mL).

    Measured: One month after (POST) Dose 3.

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number of Subjects With Anti-PRP Antibody Concentrations ≥1µg/mL

    For this assay, 1 μg/mL was considered as the seropositivity cut-off.

    Measured: One month after (POST) Dose 3.

  2. Anti-PRP Antibody Concentrations

    Anti-PRP antibody concentrations were presented as Geometric mean Concentrations (GMC), expressed as micrograms per milliliter (μg/mL).

    Measured: One month after (POST) Dose 3.

  3. Number of Seroprotected Subjects Against Hepatitis B (Anti-HBs)

    A seroprotected subject was a subject with anti-HBs antibody concentrations ≥ 10 milli-International Units ler milliliter (mIU/mL). A decrease in the specificity of the anti-HB ELISA assay had been observed in some studies for low levels of antibody (10-100 mIU/mL). The table shows updated results following partial or complete retesting/reanalysis. Some of the available blood samples initially tested with ELISA were re-tested using the new assay, CLIA.

    Measured: One month after (POST) Dose 3.

  4. Number of Subjects With Anti-HBs Antibody Concentrations ≥100 mIU/mL

    The testing was done using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay.

    Measured: One month after (POST) Dose 3.

  5. Anti-HBs Antibody Concentrations

    Anti-HBs antibody concentrations were assessed by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and expressed as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs).

    Measured: One month after (POST) Dose 3.

  6. Number of Subjects With 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.

    Measured: During the 31 day (Days 0-30) post vaccination

  7. 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.

    Measured: During the entire study period up to Last subject last visit on 03/12/2013

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Infanrix™ hexa in people with Hepatitis B and Tetanus, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 3 sites in Canada.

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 10 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 27 Nov 2019. 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 Canada. 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 30 Nov 2016). 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 (Anti-PRP) (time frame: One month after (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 NCT00753649, 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 27 Nov 2019.
