- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and reactogenicity of a booster dose of diphtheria-tetanus-whole cell pertussis-hepatitis B virus/Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine (DTPw-HBV/Hib) at 15-18 m and to assess the immunogenicity, safety, and reactogenicity of a dose of Mencevax™ Group A, C and W135 polysaccharide meningococcal vaccine (ACW) at 24 to 30 m in primed subjects.
The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.
- Detailed Description
This open study will have two parallel groups based on the vaccination received in the primary study: AC primed Group: primed with Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib-MenAC vaccine and AC unprimed Group (control): primed with Tritanrix™-HepB/Hiberix™ vaccine. All subjects will receive a booster dose of Tritanrix™-HepB/Hiberix™ vaccine at 15 to 18 months of age with GSK Biological's OPV vaccine given concomitantly and a dose of Mencevax™ ACW vaccine at 24 to 30 months of age. Blood sampling will be done prior to (pre) and one month after (post) the Mencevax™ ACW vaccine administration for immunogenicity analyses. The study will last minimum 7 to maximum 16 months per subject.
Mencevax™ ACWY was changed to Mencevax™ ACW throughout the posting to correct an inconsistency in the earlier version of the protocol posting and to reflect the actual situation.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Subjects With Serum Bactericidal Assay Against N. Meningitidis Serogroups A, C Using Rabbit Complement (rSBA-MenA,C) Antibodies At one month post vaccination with Mencevax™ ACW vaccine (Month 25-31) Pre-defined assay cut-off values for assessed titers were greater than or equal to (≥) 1:128.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Subjects With rSBA-MenA,C, W-135 Antibody Titers ≥ Predefined Cut-offs Prior to (Months 24-30) & one month after the administration of the Mencevax™ ACW vaccine (Months 25-31) Antibody titer cut-offs were ≥ 1:8 and ≥ 1:128.
Number of Subjects With Anti-polysaccharide A (Anti-PSA) and C (Anti-PSC) Antibody Concentrations Above Predefined Cut-off Values Prior to (Months 24-30) & one month after the administration of the Mencevax™ ACW vaccine (Months 25-31) Antibody concentrations cut-off were ≥ 0.3 and ≥2 micrograms per millilitre (µg/mL).
Number of Subjects With Anti- Polysaccharide W (Anti-PSW) Antibody Concentrations ≥ Predefined Cut-off Values Prior to (Months 24-30) & one month after the administration of the Mencevax™ ACW vaccine (Months 25-31) Antibody concentrations were ≥ 0.3 µg/mL.
Anti-PSW Antibody Concentrations Prior to (Months 24-30) & one month after the administration of the Mencevax™ ACW vaccine (Months 25-31) Antibody concentrations were expressed as Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs).
Number of Subjects With Solicited Local Symtoms During the 4-Day (Days 0-3) after the administration of the Mencevax™ ACW vaccine Assessed solicited local symptoms were: pain, redness and swelling at the injection site. Any = subjects with symptom, regardless of the intensity grade.
