Information source: Statens Serum Institut
Information obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov on June 20, 2008
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Active Immunization

Intervention: DTaP-IPV vero vaccine (Biological); DTaP-IPV mkc vaccine (Biological)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Statens Serum Institut

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Jacek Pietrzyk, Proffessor M.D., Principal Investigator, Affiliation: Jagellonian University, Krakow, Poland

Summary

The trial is a parallel group, multi-centre, randomized, double blind, non-inferiority trial investigating the immunogenicity and safety of two DTaP-IPV combination vaccines:

A)The investigational vaccine: DTaP-IPV containing IPV produced in a vero-cell line (DTaP-IPVvero) B)The reference vaccine: DTaP-IPV containing IPV produced in monkey kidney cells (DTaP-IPVmkc) The DTaP-IPV vaccines are administered to healthy infants at 2, 3½, 5, and 16 months of age concomitantly with Act-HIB vaccine administered as a separate injection in the opposite thigh.

Three blood samples are collected at 6, 16 and 17 months of age. Sera are analyzed for antibodies against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio and prp.

Clinical Details

Official title: Clinical Trial Comparing the Safety and Immunogenicity of Two Combined Diphtheria, Tetanus, Acellular Pertussis, and Inactivated Poliovirus (DTaP-IPV) Vaccines Administered to Healthy Children at 2, 3½, and 16 Months of Age

Study design: Prevention, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Simultaneous seroprotection percentages for neutralizing poliovirus antibodies (types 1, 2 and 3), when the defined limits of seroprotection is a titre value of >=4 for each of the three poliovirus types
