Trial Outcomes & Findings for Immunogenicity and Safety Study of Proquad® and Infanrix® Hexa When Administered Concomitantly (V221-035) (NCT NCT00432042)

NCT ID: NCT00432042

Last Updated: 2018-03-19

Results Overview

The percentage of participants with seronegative baseline values who met antibody response criteria in Arm 1: ProQuad® + Infanrix® hexa and Arm 2: ProQuad® was determined. Post-vaccination antibody response and baseline seronegativity criteria were as follows: measles antibody titre ≥255 mIU/mL in participants with baseline titre \<255 mIU/mL; mumps antibody titre ≥10 ELISA Ab units/mL in participants with baseline titre \<10 ELISA Ab units mL; rubella antibody titre ≥10 IU/mL in participants with baseline titre \<10 IU/mL; varicella antibody titre ≥5 gpELISA units/mL in participants with baseline titre \<1.25 gpELISA units/mL. Measles, mumps and rubella antibody levels were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and varicella antibody levels were determined with glycoprotein-based ELISA (gpELISA).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 42

Population: Participants in Arm 1 and Arm 2 who were initially seronegative to measles, mumps, rubella, or varicella; had post-vaccination serology results; and who did not have protocol violations that may have interfered with immunogenicity results were included. As analysis of Arm 3 was not planned it was not included.

The percentage of participants with seronegative baseline values who met antibody response criteria in Arm 1: ProQuad® + Infanrix® hexa and Arm 2: ProQuad® was determined. Post-vaccination antibody response and baseline seronegativity criteria were as follows: measles antibody titre ≥255 mIU/mL in participants with baseline titre \<255 mIU/mL; mumps antibody titre ≥10 ELISA Ab units/mL in participants with baseline titre \<10 ELISA Ab units mL; rubella antibody titre ≥10 IU/mL in participants with baseline titre \<10 IU/mL; varicella antibody titre ≥5 gpELISA units/mL in participants with baseline titre \<1.25 gpELISA units/mL.

The percentage of participants with seronegative baseline values who met antibody response criteria in Arm 1: ProQuad® + Infanrix® hexa and Arm 3: Infanrix® hexa was determined. Post-vaccination antibody response and baseline seronegativity criteria were as follows: Hepatitis B antibody titre ≥10 IU/mL and Haemophilus Influenzae Type b antibody titre ≥1 ug/mL. Hepatitis B antibody levels were determined using anti-HBs ORTHO ECi Immunodiagnostic Assay. Haemophilus Influenzae Type b antibody (anti-polyribosylribitol phosphate \[PRP\]) levels were determined with radioimmunoassay (RIA) or with enzyme immunoassay (EIA).

The GMT to pertussis were compared in Arm1: ProQuad® + Infanrix® hexa and Arm 3: Infanrix® hexa. Anti-pertussis toxin (anti-PT), anti-filamentous hemagglutinin (anti-FHA), and anti-pertactin (anti-PRN) were determined using ELISA on solid phase based on sandwich principle.
