Condition(s) targeted: Hepatitis A

Intervention: Hepatitis A (Biological)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: GlaxoSmithKline

Summary

This is a study to evaluate the immune response and safety of GSK Biologicals 2-dose inactivated hepatitis A vaccine when administered with a diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis combination (DTaP) vaccine and a Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib) vaccine in children as young as 15 months of age

Clinical Details

Official title: Study of the Immunogenicity & Safety of GSK Biologicals' Inactivated Hepatitis A Vaccine (Havrix) Administered Concomitantly With GSK Biologicals' DTaP Vaccine (Infanrix) & Aventis Pasteur's Haemophilus b Conjugate Vaccine (ActHIB) in Healthy Children 15 m of Age

Study design: Prevention, Randomized, Open Label, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety Study

Primary outcome:

Immune response for Havrix following the second dose of Havrix in both the Havrix group and the Havrix + Infanrix and ActHIB group.

Immune response for DTaP and Hib following vaccination with Infanrix and ActHIB in both the Havrix + Infanrix and ActHIB group and the Infanrix and ActHIB followed by Havrix group.

Secondary outcome: Immune response for Havrix following the first dose of Havrix in all groups. The other secondary outcome measure is safety of the study vaccines.

Detailed description: An open, controlled comparison of Havrix administered alone or with Infanrix and ActHIB. The three groups evaluated are: 1) Havrix alone, 2) Havrix + Infanrix and ActHIB and 3) Infanrix and ActHIB followed by Havrix one month later.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 12 Months. Maximum age: 13 Months. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion criteria:

- A male or female child 12 or 13 months of age at the time of entry into the Enrollment

Phase

- Subjects must have previously received three doses each of DTaP and Hib vaccines

during the first year of life. The three doses of DTaP vaccine must have been administered as either Infanrix or Pediarix® and the three doses of Hib vaccine must have been administered as ActHIB, HibTITER®, OmniHIB®,

- Subjects who, at 15 months of age, will have had at least six months elapse since

their third dose of Infanrix or Pediarix.

Exclusion criteria:

- Use of any investigational or non-registered drug or vaccine within 31 days preceding

the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period

- Chronic administration of immuno-suppressant or other immune-modifying drugs within

six months prior to vaccination or planned administration at any time during the study period. (For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone, or equivalent, less than 0. 5 mg/kg/day. Inhaled, nasal and topical steroids are allowed.

- Planned administration or administration of any vaccine not foreseen by the study

protocol during the period 42 days before and 31 days after each dose of study vaccine(s).

- Previous vaccination against DTaP using a commercially-available brand other than

Infanrix or Pediarix or against Hib using a commercially-available brand other than ActHIB, HibTITER or OmniHIB.

- Previous vaccination with more than three doses of DTaP-containing vaccines or more

than three doses of Hib-containing vaccines.

- Previous vaccination against hepatitis A

- History of or known exposure to hepatitis A

- History of or known exposure to diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and/or Haemophilus

influenza type b within 31 days prior to the start of the study

- Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, including

human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection

- A family history of congenital, hereditary or infectious immunodeficiency or parental

risk factors for HIV infection

- History of allergic disease/reactions or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by

any component of Havrix, Infanrix or ActHIB including 2-phenoxyethanol, neomycin and gelatin

- History of hypersensitivity/allergic reaction to latex

- Major congenital defects or serious chronic illness

- History of any neurologic disorder (a history of febrile seizures not associated with

an underlying neurological disorder does not exclude the subject)

- Acute disease, defined as the presence of a moderate or severe illness with or without

fever at the time of vaccination

- Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within three months prior

to the first dose of study vaccine or planned administration at any time during the entire study period
