Study of the Safety, Immunogenicity and Lot Comparability of DAPTACEL When Administered With Other Recommended Vaccine

Information source: Sanofi-Aventis
Information obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov on June 20, 2008
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Diphtheria; Tetanus; Whooping Cough; Polio; Haemophilus Influenzae Type B

Intervention: DAPTACEL® (Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis vaccine) (Biological); DTaP-IPV/Hib (Biological)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Sanofi-Aventis

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Medical Monitor, Study Director, Affiliation: Sanofi Pasteur, Inc.

Summary

This study was designed to assess the lot comparability of DAPTACEL, as well as the safety and immunogenicity of DAPTACEL when co-administered with other recommended infant vaccines.

Stage I Primary Objectives:

1. To assess the lot-comparability of immunogenicity of DAPTACEL by when co-administered with other recommended vaccines.

2. To compare the immune response to DTaP-IPV/Hib (Pentacel) with those of three lots of DAPTACEL when co-administered with other recommended vaccines.

3. To compare the immune response of PRP-T antigen in Pentacel with that of ActHIB concurrently administered in a different injection site with DAPTACEL when these vaccines are co-administered with other recommended vaccines.

Stage II Primary Objectives:

1. To compare the immune response of DAPTACEL when the 4th dose is co-administered with Hib or other infant vaccines.

2. To compare the the immune response of Pentacel with those elicited by DAPTACEL when co-administered with ActHIB in toddlers.

Clinical Details

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

Primary outcome: Immunogenicity: To provide information concerning the immune response of DAPTACEL after vaccination.

Detailed description: This is a two-stage, randomized, multi-center study to assess the safety, immunogenicity and lot comparability of DAPTACEL

Eligibility

days prior to the first dose of DAPTACEL or Pentacel.

Exclusion Criteria :

- Clinically significant findings on review of systems or physical examination

(determined by investigator or sub-investigator to be sufficient for exclusion).
