Study acronymEPA
Study objectivesEpaxal® co-administered with Diphtheria Tetanus Petusis (DTP), activated haemophilus influenzae type B (aHib), Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV), Oral Poliovirus Vaccine (OPV) and Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccines is as immunogenic as when given alone
Ethics approval(s)Approved by the Helsinki Committee of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Unit, Soroka University Medical Center, November 2004, reference number: 20040507
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHepatitis A
Intervention1. Epaxal® and concomitant administration of DTP, aHib, IPV, OPV and MMR vaccines
2. Epaxal® followed by DTP, aHib, IPV, OPV and MMR vaccines one month later
3. Comparator Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) vaccine and concomitant administration of HAV vaccines
Intervention typeDrug
