E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Immunogenicity :
The following endpoints were to be used to assess the Ab persistence (for all valences) before the booster dose at Day 0 (V01) in a subset of approximately 300 subjects:
- Ab titers for each valence
- Ab titers above a cut-off:
- Anti-T Ab titers ≥0.01 IU/mL and ≥0.1 IU/mL
- Anti-D Ab titers ≥0.01 IU/mL and ≥0.1 IU/mL
- Anti-Hep B Ab titers ≥10 mIU/mL and ≥100 mIU/mL
- Anti-PRP Ab titers ≥0.15 μg/mL and ≥1.0 μg/mL
- Anti-polio titers ≥8 (1/dil)
The following endpoints were to be used to assess the booster responses at Day 30 (V02):
- Ab titers for each valence
- Ab titers above a cut-off:
- Anti-T Ab titers ≥0.01 IU/mL, ≥0.1 IU/mL, and ≥1.0 IU/mL
- Anti-D Ab titers ≥0.01 IU/mL, ≥0.1 IU/mL, and ≥1.0 IU/mL
- Anti-Hep B Ab titers ≥10 mIU/mL and ≥100 mIU/mL
- Anti-PRP Ab titers ≥0.15 μg/mL and ≥1.0 μg/mL
- Anti-polio titers ≥8 (1/dil)
- Anti-pertussis toxoid (PT) and anti-filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) Ab titers
≥4-fold increase
- Individual titer ratio for each valence (V02/V01)
- Seroconversion for pertussis Ab (anti-acellular pertussis toxoid [anti-PT] and
anti-FHA) defined as:
- Anti-PT and anti-FHA ≥4-fold Ab titers increase from V01 to V02
Booster response to pertussis (PT and FHA) was defined as:
- Subjects whose pre-vaccination Ab concentrations were less than the Lower
Limit of Quantitation (<LLOQ) demonstrated a booster response if they had post-vaccination levels ≥4 x LLOQ
- Subjects whose pre-vaccination Ab concentrations were ≥LLOQ but <4 x LLOQ demonstrated a booster response if they had a four-fold response (i.e. post-/pre-vaccination ≥4)
- Subjects whose pre-vaccination Ab concentrations were ≥4 x LLOQ
demonstrated a booster response if they had a two-fold response (i.e. post-/pre-vaccination ≥2)
Safety/Reactogenicity :
- Occurrence, nature (Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities [MedDRA] preferred term [PT]), severity, duration, and relationship to vaccination for any unsolicited systemic adverse events (AEs) reported in the 30 minutes after the booster dose.
- Occurrence, time to onset, number of days of occurrence, and severity of solicited (prelisted in the subject diary and Case Report Form) injection site reactions and systemic reactions up to 7 days after the booster dose.
- Occurrence, nature (MedDRA PT), time to onset, duration, severity, and relationship to vaccination (for systemic AEs only) of unsolicited (spontaneously reported) AEs up to 30 days after the booster dose.
- Occurrence of any serious adverse events (SAEs) throughout the study (from V01 to 6 months after the booster vaccination). |

E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Blood Sampling: in a subset of approximately 300 subjects, two blood samples of 5 mL each were to be collected: before the booster dose (BL1-V01) and 1 month later (BL2-V02).
All subjects were to be followed for safety for up to 6 months after the booster dose. |
