Scientific title
Study objectivesThe principal objective is to evaluate the immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of new heptavalent vaccine HibMenAMenC/DPTwHepB when compared to DPTwHepB/Hib in infants when administered at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age, a schedule corresponding to that used under the EPI (Expanded Programme on Immunisation). In addition the study also aims to evaluate induction of long term immune response, and whether or not immune memory can be boosted by priming, first by measuring the persistence of response at age 12 months, and response following a small dose of plain polysaccharide vaccine at that age.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from:
1. World Health Organization (WHO) Ethics Review Committee on the 13th October 2003
2. Other review board approvals were around mid to late 2003:
2.1. Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH) Human Subjects Protection Committee (HSPC) (USA)
2.2. National Ethics Committee of Ghana Health Service (Ghana)
2.3. Navrongo Health Research Center (Ghana)
2.4. London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (UK)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedVaccination against meningococcal disease
InterventionIntramuscular administration of the vaccines at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age:

Group 1: GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)-meningitis AC (menAC) extemporaneously mixed with (GSK) Biologicals' TritanrixTM-Hepatitis B (HepB)

Group 2: (GSK) Biologicals' HiberixTM vaccine, extemporaneously mixed with (GSK) Biologicals' TritanrixTM-HepB.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)HibMenAMenC/DPTwHepB, DPTwHepB/Hib vaccines
Primary outcome measure1. Demonstrate immunogenicity of HibMenAMenC/DPTwHepB with respect to serum bacterial assay(SBA)-Men A and SBA-MenC
2. Demonstrate that HibMenAMenC/DPTwHepB is non-inferior to the control vaccine DPTwHepB/Hib with respect to immunogenicity of all common antigens (anti-PRP, anti-Diphtheria, anti-tetanus, anti-BP, anti-HBs)
Secondary outcome measures1. Evaluate antibody persistence induced by the primary vaccination with HibMenAMenC/DPTwHepB versus DPTwHepB/Hib with respect to immunogenicity of all antigens administered at 12 months of age
2. Evaluate immune memory induced by primary vaccination with HibMenAMenC/DPTwHepB by administering 10 micrograms of each meningococcal A and C polysaccharide (1/5 of a dose of Mencevax AC) using unprimed subjects of DPTwHepB/Hib as control
3. Assess immunogenecity and safety of the primary vaccination after each vaccine dose and overall in the two study groups
4. To assess the reactogenicity and safety of the 10 micrograms of meningococcal A and C polysaccharide (1/5 of a dose of Mencevax AC) in subjects primed with either HibMenAMenC/DPTwHepB or DPTwHepB/Hib
