Comparative evaluation of immunogenicity and reactogenicity of monovalent type 2 and 3 oral poliovirus vaccines (mOPV 2 and mOPV3) versus trivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (tOPV), and bivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (bOPV) versus monovalent types 1 and 3 oral poliovirus vaccines, respectively: a randomised double-blind trial

Scientific title
Study objectivesTo determine if one or two doses of mOPV2 or mOPV3 induces significantly higher levels of seroconversion against poliovirus types 2 or 3, respectively, than does one or two doses of tOPV to these Sabin strains and to determine if one or two doses of bOPV induces similar seroconversion to types 1 and 3, respectively, compared to one or two doses of mOPV1 or mOPV3. Additionally, at one site (Indore), to determine if one or two doses of mOPV2 or mOPV3 significantly reduces excretion of poliovirus types 2 or 3, respectively than does one or two doses of tOPV and to determine if one or two doses of bOPV significantly reduces excretion of poliovirus type 1 and type 3 than does one or two doses of tOPV.
