Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants Experiencing Any Systemic Reactogenicity, by Maximum Severity
Solicited systemic reactogenicity events evaluated during the week after each vaccination included fever, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite/ poor feeding, irritability, and decreased activity. Reactions were recorded by participant's parents via memory aid. Each event was graded as: Mild (Grade 1): No or minimal interference with usual activities; no medical intervention/therapy required, Moderate (Grade 2): Greater than minimal interference with usual activities; no or minimal medical intervention/therapy required, Severe (Grade 3): Marked limitation in ability to perform usual activities; medical intervention/therapy required, or Potentially life-threatening (Grade 4): Inability to perform basic functions OR Medical or operative intervention indicated to prevent permanent impairment, persistent disability, or death. The overall number of participants who experienced any systemic reaction is reported. Grades are based on maximum severity per participant.
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events
Adverse events were graded as mild (Grade 1 = No or minimal interference with usual activities; no medical intervention/therapy required), moderate (Grade 2 = Greater than minimal interference with usual activities; no or minimal medical intervention/therapy required), severe (Grade 3 = Marked limitation in ability to perform usual activities; medical intervention/therapy required), or potentially life-threatening (Grade 4 = Inability to perform basic functions OR Medical or operative intervention indicated to prevent permanent impairment, persistent disability, or death). The overall number of participants who experienced any adverse event is reported. Grades are based on maximum severity per participant.
Anti-polio Neutralizing Antibody Geometric Mean Titers (GMT): Serotype 1
The assays for determination of anti-poliovirus neutralizing antibodies at the National Institutes for Food and Drug Control (NIFDC) were validated. Anti-polio antibody titer four weeks after the fourth vaccination was adjusted for the decrease in maternal antibodies based on a half-life of 28 days.
Anti-polio Neutralizing Antibody Geometric Mean Titers: Serotype 3
The assays for determination of anti-poliovirus neutralizing antibodies at the National Institutes for Food and Drug Control (NIFDC) were validated. Anti-polio antibody titer four weeks after the fourth vaccination was adjusted for the decrease in maternal antibodies based on a half-life of 28 days.
Number of Infants With Serotype-specific Anti-polio Neutralizing Antibody Seroconversion 4 Weeks After Last Dose
The assays for determination of anti-poliovirus neutralizing antibodies at the National Institutes for Food and Drug Control (NIFDC) were validated. Seroconversion was defined as a titer ≥ 1:8 if seronegative at screening, otherwise a ≥ 4-fold increase in adjusted titers (i.e., adjusted for the decay in maternal antibodies, based on a half life of 28 days).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Geometric Mean Titers
Anti-HBsAg titers were measured to assess the impact of concomitant administration of BBIBP liquid bOPV on immune responses to other Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) vaccines in comparison to that of the WHO pre-qualified bOPV, 4 weeks after the fourth vaccination. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assays for serum antibodies to HBsAg were performed at the Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC). The HBsAb assay was a qualified assay using a kit from BioRad.
Number of Infants With Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Seroprotection
Seroprotection was defined as a HBsAg titer ≥ 1:10 The ELISA assays for serum antibodies to HBsAg were performed at the Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC). The HBsAb assay was a qualified assay using a kit from BioRad.
Anti-Rotavirus Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Geometric Mean Titers
Anti-rotavirus immunoglobulin A titers were measured to assess the impact of concomitant administration of BBIBP liquid bOPV on immune responses to other Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) vaccines in comparison to that of the WHO pre-qualified bOPV, 4 weeks after the fourth vaccination. The ELISA assay for antibodies to rotavirus was performed at the Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) using a validated in-house assay.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study will be to evaluate whether a bivalent oral polio vaccine (bOPV) manufactured by Beijing Bio-Institute Biological Products Co., Ltd (BBIBP) has a similar immunogenicity profile to a WHO prequalified bOPV.
Detailed Description
BBIBP has been one of the two suppliers of trivalent oral polio vaccine (tOPV) in China since 1985, with control of polio in China evidence of the effectiveness of its vaccine. The company plans to introduce a liquid formulation of bOPV (types 1 and 3) to meet increasing global demand with the phasing-out of tOPV. The proposed study is intended to provide data sufficient to obtain World Heath Organization (WHO) prequalification for the BBIBP bOPV, thus making the vaccine available to help meet global demand. Infants were enrolled and randomized prior to the birth dose of bOPV. The first dose of study vaccine was administered during the first two weeks of life and then co-administered with the primary Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) series vaccines in Kenya at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age. The Kenya EPI schedule includes the following additional vaccines: Bacille Calmette-Guérin Vaccine (BCG) at birth Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoid with Whole Cell Pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae Type V vaccine (Hib), and Hepatitis B Vaccine (DTwPHibHep) at 6, 10, 14 weeks; Pneumococcal Conjugate vaccine (PCV) at 6, 10, 14 weeks Rotavirus vaccine (Rotarix) at 6, 10 weeks
