Study to Evaluate GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' MenC-TT Vaccine and Hib-MenC-TT Vaccine in Infants
Phase 2
Completed
- Conditions
- Infections, Meningococcal
- Registration Number
- NCT00135486
- Lead Sponsor
- GlaxoSmithKline
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this primary vaccination study is to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of three doses of GSK Biologicals' MenC-TT (Neisseria meningitidis group C polysaccharide-tetanus toxoid) vaccine (2 different formulations) and of three doses of GSK Biologicals' Hib-MenC-TT (Haemophilus influenzae type b-MenC-TT) vaccine (2 different formulations) when given to infants in their 3rd, 4th, and 5th months of life. Concomitant vaccines were given to all children to complete the vaccination agenda.
- Detailed Description
Five parallel treatment groups receiving a 3-dose primary vaccination course: MenC-TT vaccine (2 formulations, double-blind) + Infanrix hexa® OR Hib-MenC-TT (2 formulations double-blind) + Infanrix penta® OR Meningitec™ + Infanrix hexa® (control). Three blood samples taken, before dose 1 and one month after dose 2 and dose 3.
