About this study

Official title: Immunogenicity and Safety of Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP-T Combined Vaccine Given at 6, 10 and 14 Weeks of Age in Infants From India Who Previously Received a Dose of Hepatitis B Vaccine at Birth

The purpose of this study is to describe the immunogenicity and safety of a novel DTaP- IPV- Hep B-PRT~T fully liquid combined hexavalent vaccine (Hexaxim™) administered at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age in infants born to mothers documented to be serum anti-hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) serology negative in India.

Primary Objective:

Read more
  • To evaluate the immunogenicity of the study vaccine in terms of seroprotection [diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, poliovirus types 1, 2 and 3, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) polysaccharide (PRP), hepatitis B (Hep B)] and vaccine response for pertussis antigens [pertussis toxoid (PT) and filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA)] one month after the third dose.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To further describe the immunogenicity of the study vaccine, before the first dose and one month after the third dose.
  • To describe the safety after each and any doses of the study vaccine.
Read the detailed description

All participants will receive a total 4 doses of Hep B, i.e. one dose of Hep B monovalent vaccine given at birth followed by 3 doses of Sanofi Pasteur's hexavalent vaccine given at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age in the context of the study. Participants and parents will attend four clinic visits; the expected participation in the study is approximately 3 months.

What is being measured

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

    Diphtheria antibodies were measured by a toxin neutralization test, tetanus antibodies by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Haemophilus influenzae type b polysaccharide (PRP) antibodies by Farr type radioimmunoassay, poliovirus 1, 2, and 3 antibodies by a neutralization assay, and Hepatitis B (Hep B) antibodies were measured by VITROS ECi/ECiQ Immunodiagnostic System.

    Description of seroprotection: Diphtheria and Tetanus antibody concentrations ≥0.01 International Units (IU)/mL; Poliovirus 1, 2, and 3 titers ≥8 (1/dilution); Hep B concentrations ≥10 mIU/mL, and PRP ≥0.15 µg/mL.

  2. Percentage of Participants With Vaccine Response After Vaccinations With Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP-T Combined Vaccine Following a Documented Dose of a Commercial Oral Poliovirus Vaccine and Recombinant Hep B Monovalent Vaccine at Birth

    Anti-pertussis toxin (PT) and anti-filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) antibodies were measured with an ELISA. Vaccine response was defined as percentage of participants with post-dose 3 anti-PT and anti-FHA antibody concentrations in ELISA units (EU)/mL ≥ 4 x Lower Limit of Quantification (LLOQ) if pre-vaccination concentration was < 4 x LLOQ or ≥ pre-vaccination concentration if pre-vaccination concentrations ≥ 4 x LLOQ.

    Measured: Pre-dose 1 to one month post-dose 3

    Measured: Pre-dose 1 to one month post-dose 3

  4. Percentage of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection-site or Systemic Reaction After Each Vaccination With Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP-T Combined Vaccine Following a Documented Dose of Oral Poliovirus and Recombinant Hep B Vaccine at Birth

    Injection-site reactions: Tenderness, Erythema, and Swelling. Systemic reactions: Fever, Vomiting, Crying abnormal, Drowsiness, Appetite lost, and Irritability. Grade 3 Injection site reactions: Tenderness, Cries when injected limb is moved, or reduced movement of injected limb; Erythema and Swelling, ≥50 mm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Hexaxim™: DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T combined vaccine in people with Diphtheria and Tetanus, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 2 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 20 Oct 2015. 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 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 25 Sep 2015). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Seroprotection After Vaccinations With Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP-T Combined Vaccine Following a Documented Dose of a Commercial Oral Poliovirus Vaccine and Recombinant Hep B Monovalent Vaccine at Birth (time frame: Pre-dose 1 to one month post-dose 3). 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 20 Oct 2015.
