NCT00289913

Brief Summary

This two-stage study evaluates the immunogenicity, safety, and tolerability of the administration of VAQTA™ (Hepatitis A Vaccine, Inactivated) concomitantly with PedvaxHIB™ (Haemophilus B Conjugate Vaccine \[Meningococcal Protein Conjugate\]) and Infanrix™ (Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed, GlaxoSmithKline) versus the administration of VAQTA™ in healthy children 15 months of age at study entry.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Seropositivity Rate (SPR) to Hepatitis A

    SPR is the percent of participants with Hepatitis A antibody titers \>= 10 milli-International Units/milliliter (mIU/mL), 4 weeks after dose 2 of VAQTA™ regardless of their initial serostatus. Antibody titers to Hepatitis A virus (HAV) were detected in participants' serum samples using an Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA).

    4 weeks after dose 2 of VAQTA™

  • Antibody Response Rate to Haemophilus Influenzae Type b (Hib)

    Antibodies to the Hib capsular polysaccharide (polyribosylribitol phosphate \[PRP\]) are assessed in participants serum using radioimmunoassay (RIA). The limit of detection (LOD) for the RIA is 6.60 ng/mL. The antibody response rate is defined as the percentage of participants with anti-PRP titers \>1.0 mcg/mL, 4 weeks postvaccination with PedvaxHIB™.

    4 weeks postvaccination with PedvaxHIB™

  • Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE)

    Systemic and injection site AEs were collected from participants receiving * VAQTA™ concomitantly with Infanrix™ and PedvaxHIB™ or PedvaxHIB™ (Stage I) * VAQTA™ non-concomitantly with Infanrix™ and PedvaxHIB™ or PedvaxHIB™ (Stage I) * VAQTA™ administered alone (Stage II) Safety data was collected on a standardized Vaccination Report Card (VRC) following each dose. Participants returned the VRC after the safety follow-up period for each dose of VAQTA™. AEs determined by the investigator to be possibly, probably or definitely related to the vaccine are reported as Vaccine-related AE.

    Days 1 to 14 after any dose of VAQTA™ for systemic AEs, and Days 1 to 5 after any dose of VAQTA™ for injection-site AEs

  • Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) to Antibodies for the Pertussis Toxin (PT), Pertussis Filamentous Hemagglutinin Antibody (FHA), and Pertactin (PRN) Components of Infanrix™

    GMTs for antibodies to PT, FHA, and PRN were measured in serum samples of participants vaccinated with Infanrix™. IgG antibodies to PT were assessed using the anti-pertussis toxin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (anti-PT ELISA), with the LOD of 2.4 ELU/mL. IgG antibodies to FHA were assessed using the anti-pertussis filamentous hemagglutinin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (anti-FHA ELISA), with the LOD of 2.0 ELU/mL. IgG antibodies to PRN were assessed using the anti-pertussis pertactin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (anti-PRN ELISA), with the LOD of 3.3 ELU/mL.

    4 weeks postvaccination with Infanrix™
