E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the Hexaxim vaccine to the licensed Infanrix hexa vaccine, both co-administered with Prevenar 13, in terms of seroprotection or vaccine response rates to all antigens contained in both investigational and control vaccines, 1 month after a 2+1-dose schedule. |
