Active clinical trials for "Diphtheria"

The new formulation administered as a 4th consecutive dose will be compared to the current formulation of the vaccine in this partially double blind study. The study will be double-blind with respect to the two DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib groups. The study will be open with respect to the DTPa-HBV-IPV group.

This study will compare GSK Biologicals' DTPa/Hib vaccine to separately administered DTPa and Hib vaccines in Chinese infants 3, 4 & 5 months of age, in terms of safety and immunogenicity.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety in terms of fever (rectal temperature) higher than 39 degree Celcius (°C) and the immunogenicity in terms of antibody response following a booster vaccination with pneumococcal vaccine GSK1024850A at 11 to 18 months of age in children previously primed with the same vaccines including a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine co-administered with a diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (DTPa)-combined and meningococcal serogroup C (MenC) or combined meningococcal serogroup C and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib-MenC) vaccine. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00334334).

It is well recognized that older adults can contract pertussis, suffer its complications, and unwittingly transmit it to close contacts, which may well include infants too young to have received their primary series of DTaP vaccinations. ADACEL® vaccine is currently licensed in the US for persons 11 - 64 years of age, but no pertussis vaccine is yet approved for administration to older adults. The most widely used Td vaccine in the US, DECAVAC®, has no upper limit on its age indication. The purpose of this trial is to describe the safety and immunogenicity of ADACEL® vaccine among individuals ≥ 65 years of age.

As per request by the Heath Authorities, the present clinical study will assess the immunogenicity and safety of sanofi pasteur's DTacP-IPV// PRP~T combined vaccine (PENTAXIM™) as a three-dose primary vaccination at 2, 3, and 4 months of age or 3, 4 and 5 months of age followed by a booster dose at 18-20 months of age as compared to commercially available DTacP, Hib conjugate (Act-HIB™) and IPV (IMOVAX Polio™) monovalent vaccines in order to meet the requirements for registration of the product in People's Republic of China.

Booster and immune memory study

This study will only include infants born to mothers who are tested as seronegative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) & hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The purpose of this study is to demonstrate in infants who received a birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine that Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib-MenAC vaccine is at least as good as Tritanrix™-HepB/Hiberix™ with respect to immunogenicity of the hepatitis B antigen.

Pediacel™ is currently licensed in the UK for use as a 3 dose regimen for the active immunisation of infants against Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Poliomyelitis and invasive infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b. However there are currently no clinical data supporting the use of Pediacel™ using a 3, 5, and 12 months of age vaccination schedule. This study is designed to provide safety and immunogenicity data to support the use of Pediacel™ according to a 3, 5, and 12 months schedule.

The present clinical study will assess the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV combined vaccines as a three-dose primary vaccination at 2, 4 and 6 months of age compared to commercially available vaccines in order to meet the requirements for registration of the product in South Korea. Primary objective To demonstrate the non-inferiority in terms of seroprotection rates (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio types 1, 2 and 3) and seroconversion/vaccine response rates to Pertussis antigens (PT, FHA) of Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV combined vaccine versus commercially available Biken's DTaP (CJ purified PDT vaccine ™) and Aventis Pasteur's IPV (IMOVAX POLIO) monovalent vaccines, one month after the three-dose primary vaccination. Secondary objectives Immunogenicity: To assess the non-inferiority in terms of seroprotection rates (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio types 1, 2 and 3) and seroconversion / vaccine response rates to Pertussis antigens (PT, FHA) of Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV combined vaccine versus historical reference (Study E2I03294 - France). To assess and describe the immunogenicity of the study vaccines in both groups. Safety: To assess and describe the safety of the study vaccines after each dose.

This is a study to compare the safety and immune response of a pentavalent DTaP-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine with Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™, when both are given concomitantly with OPV at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age.
