About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity of Two Mixed Primary Immunization Schedules: Pediacel® at 2 and 4 Months of Age Followed by One Dose of Infanrix™ IPV/Hib at 6 Months of Age; and, Infanrix™ IPV/Hib at 2 Months of Age, Followed by Pediacel® at 4 and 6 Months of Age

To demonstrate the safety and immunogenicity of two mixed primary immunization schedules: Pediacel® at 2 and 4 months of age followed by one dose of Infanrix™ IPV/Hib at 6 months of age; and, Infanrix™ IPV/Hib at 2 months of age, followed by Pediacel® at 4 and 6 months of age.

Read the detailed description

Immunogenicity will be evaluated using the following:

Serological outcome measures will be assessed on day 0 (visit 1) and 28-42 days after the 3rd dose of the primary series for both groups:

  • Seroprotection rates for antibodies against PRP (anti-PRP), defined as percentage of subjects with antibody concentrations ≥ 0.15 µg/ml and ≥ 1.0 µg/ml.
  • Geometric mean concentration (GMC) for antibodies against PT, FHA, PRN, and FIM.
  • Anti-pertussis antibody concentrations ≥4-fold rise (post-Dose 3/pre-Dose 1).

Safety will be evaluated using the following:

  • Occurrence, time to onset, number of days of occurrence, severity and seriousness of solicited injection site reactions (tenderness, erythema, swelling) and systemic symptoms (fever, vomiting, crying abnormal, drowsiness, appetite decreased, irritability) within 8 days (Day 0 - Day 7) after each vaccination and across all vaccinations.
  • Occurrence, nature, time to onset, duration, severity, and relationship to vaccination of unsolicited adverse events (AE) occurring within 31 days (Day 0 -Day 30) of each vaccination.
  • Occurrence, nature, time to onset, duration, and relationship to vaccination of any serious adverse events (SAE) during the entire study period for all groups.
Being tested
Pediacel® and Infanrix™-IPV/Hib

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Pediacel® and Infanrix™-IPV/Hib in people with Infant Immunizations, run by Dalhousie University at 2 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 6 inclusion and 13 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 15 Jun 2011. 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 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 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize the safety and immunogenicity of the two mixed primary immunization schedules. (time frame: serology at 2 and 7 months of age). 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 NCT00990080, 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 15 Jun 2011.
