Abstract

To support a fully liquid, diphtheria (D)-tetanus (T)-acellular pertussis (aP)-inactivated poliovirus (IPV)-hepatitis B (HB)-Haemophilus influenzae b (PRP-T) vaccine in Europe using a 2, 3, 4 month primary series and a booster at 11-15 months of age. Phase III, randomized, observer-blind studies in Germany and the Czech Republic. Participants who had not received HB vaccine were randomized to a 2, 3, 4 month primary series of DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP-T (group 1; N = 266) or a reconstituted DTaP-HB-IPV//PRP-T comparator (group 2; N = 263) and a booster of the same vaccine. Pneumococcal vaccine (PCV13) and rotavirus vaccine were coadministered at 2, 3, 4 months, and the booster was coadministered with PCV13. Noninferiority (group 1 versus group 2) was tested postprimary series for seroprotection rates (anti-HB and anti-PRP) and vaccine response rates (anti-pertussis toxin and anti-filamentous hemagglutinin). Safety was assessed by parental reports. Noninferiority was demonstrated with the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval for the difference (group 1 to group 2) being > -10% for each comparison. Primary series immune responses were high for all antigens and similar in each group. Prebooster antibody persistence was good, and there...Continue Reading
