Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of Pediacel® in infants and toddlers when given at 2,3,4 and 12-18 months of age.

Primary Objectives:

- To compare the post-dose 3 immunogenicity of Pediacel® to Infanrix®-IPV+Hib when both

are co-administered with Prevenar®.

- To describe the post-dose 3 pertussis antibody responses.

Secondary Objectives:

- To compare the post-dose 4 immunogenicity of Pediacel® to Infanrix®-IPV+Hib when both

are co-administered with Prevenar®.

- To describe the safety after each vaccination following co-administration with

Prevenar®.

Clinical Details

Study design: Prevention, Randomized, Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor), Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: To provide information concerning the immunogenicity of PEDIACEL® and Infanrix®-IPV+Hib

Secondary outcome: To provide information concerning the safety after administration of PEDIACEL® and Infanrix®-IPV+Hib

or a pneumococcal vaccine separately or in combination prior to study vaccination

- Received any vaccination in the 30 days preceding the first study vaccination and/or

is planning any vaccination within 6 weeks following any of the study vaccinations
