Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Healthy Infants of either sex between 42-56 days
Registration Number
CTRI/2015/06/005837
Lead Sponsor
Shantha Biotechnics Private Limited
Brief Summary

This is a Phase III, Multi-center, Randomized,Two-Arm, Single Blind study planned to be conducted in 1040 infants across inIndia. The eligible infants will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive eitherPentavalent vaccine (DTwP-HepB-Hib) Shan5 (with Shantha pertussis) or thelicensed vaccine Shan5 (with imported pertussis). The randomized infants willreceive 03 doses of respective vaccine at 6-8, 10-12 and 14-16 weeks of age asper the EPI schedule. The vaccinated infants will be observed for 30 minutespost-vaccination to observe for any immediate adverse events and followed upfor safety and immunogenicity for 28 days following each dose of the vaccine.Approximately 3.5 to 5 mL of two (2) blood samples, one just before the firstdose of vaccination and another one 1 month after the third dose of vaccinationwill be collected from all the enrolled subjects. Serum samples prepared fromthese blood samples will be analyzed for Seroprotection of Diphtheria, Tetanus,Hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b antigens as well as Seroresponsefor Pertussis antigen.
