- Brief Summary
A multicentric, single blind, parallel, randomized (2:1), phase-III study to evaluate the immunogenicity & safety of BE’s combined pentavalent DTwP-rHepB-HIB liquid vaccine administered to 6-8 week old healthy infants at three centres in India. The primary outcome measure is To evaluate BE’s combined pentavalent DTwP-rHepB-HIB liquid vaccine in comparison with Shan5 based on proportion of subjects achieving seroprotection levels of antibody titres against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis-B and HI type B at Day 84. The secondary outcomes will be to evaluate a) immunogenicity of both the vaccines at Day 84 in terms of Geometric Mean Titres (GMTs) b) fold rise in antibody titres above the seroprotection cut off value against each of the five components c) safety and reactogenicity of BE’s liquid pentavalent DTwPrHepB-HIB vaccine in comparison with Shan5.
