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

Condition(s) targeted: Haemophilus Infections; Meningococcal Infections

Intervention: Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine (Biological)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: GlaxoSmithKline

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):

Summary

This study is evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine compared to a control group receiving licensed Hib conjugate vaccine, when each are co-administered with Pediarix® to healthy infants at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. The study will also evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine compared to a control group receiving licensed Hib conjugate vaccine, when each are co-administered with M-M-R® II and Varivax® at 12 to 15 months of age. The study will evaluate if 3 different manufacturing lots of Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine are consistent.
