E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
1) To compare the immune responses of Tdap to DTaP vaccine when
each is administered as a 5th dose to DAPTACEL- or Pentacel-primed
subjects and given concurrently, but in a separate arm from
poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and varicella vaccines to
children aged 4 to 6 years, as measured by seroprotection rates (³ 0.1
IU/mL), serothreshold rates (³ 1.0 IU/mL) and booster response rates
for diphtheria and tetanus.
2) To compare immune responses of Tdap to DTaP vaccine when
administered as a 5th dose to DAPTACEL- or Pentacel-primed subjects
and given concurrently, but in a separate arm from poliomyelitis,
measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and varicella vaccines to children aged
4 to 6 years, as measured by booster response rates and GMTs for
pertussis antigens (PT, FHA, PRN and FIM). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Immunogenicity
To compare immune responses of Tdap to DTaP vaccine when administered as a 5th dose and given concurrently; but in a separate arm from poliomyelitis, MMR, and varicella vaccines to children aged 4 to 6 years, as measured by 4-fold
rise rates (post-/pre-vaccination ≥ 4) for pertussis antigens (PT, FHA, PRN, and FIM). |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1) Healthy, as determined by medical history and physical examination.
2) Aged 4 to 6 (< 7) years at the time of study vaccination on Day 0.
3) Signed and dated informed consent form that has been approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) by the parent or legally authorized representative.
4) Signed and dated informed assent form from the subject if required by the IRB.
5) Able to attend scheduled visits at Visit 1 and Visit 2 and able to comply with all trial procedures. Subjects will be invited to participate in the long-term immunogenicity follow-up study but a commitment to participate in the long-term is not required as an inclusion criterion.
6) Documented vaccination history of 4 previous doses of DAPTACEL (consisting of 3 infant doses in the first year of life and a 4th dose in the 2nd year of life) or 4 previous doses of Pentacel and Prevnar®.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1) Participation in another clinical trial in the 4 weeks preceding the trial vaccination.
2) Planned participation in another clinical trial during the original trial period.
3) Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, immunosuppressive therapy such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy within the preceding 6 months, or long-term systemic corticosteroids therapy.
4) Systemic hypersensitivity to any of the vaccine components or history of life-threatening reaction to the trial vaccine or a vaccine containing the same substances.
5) Chronic illness at a stage that could interfere with trial conduct or completion.
6) Blood or blood-derived products received in the past 3 months.
7) Receipt of any other vaccine within 30 days prior to study vaccination, or planning to receive another vaccine within 30 days before the Visit 2 blood draw (with the exception of the annual influenza vaccine).
8) History of diphtheria, tetanus or pertussis infection (confirmed either serologically or microbiologically).
9)Thrombocytopenia or bleeding disorder contraindicating IM vaccination. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
1) For diphtheria and tetanus antibodies, seroprotection rates, serothreshold rates and booster response rates will be assessed as follows:
- Percent of subjects with anti-diphtheria and anti-tetanus antibody concentrations pre- (Day 0), post-vaccination (Day 30) ³ 0.1 IU/mL (for seroprotection) and ³ 1.0 IU/mL (for serothreshold)
- Percent of subjects demonstrating a booster response postvaccination (Day 30) for anti-diphtheria and anti-tetanus antibody concentrations. The criterion for demonstrating a booster response is as follows:
- Subjects whose pre-vaccination antibody concentrations are < 0.1 IU/mL will demonstrate the booster response if they have postvaccination levels ≥ 0.4 IU/mL
- Subjects whose pre-vaccination antibody concentrations are ≥ 0.1 to < 2 IU/mL will demonstrate the booster response if they have a 4-fold rise rate (i.e., post-/pre-vaccination ≥ 4)
- Subjects whose pre-vaccination antibody concentrations are ≥ 2.0 IU/mL will demonstrate the booster response if they have a 2-fold response (i.e., post-/pre-vaccination ≥ 2)
2) For each anti-pertussis antibody (PT, FHA, PRN and FIM) the percent of subjects demonstrating the booster response and the GMTs will be assessed as follows:
- The booster response rate partially adjusts for individual and population differences in pre-vaccination antibody concentrations. The criterion for demonstrating a booster response is as follows:
- Subjects whose pre-vaccination antibody concentrations are less than the Lower Limit of Quantitation (< LLOQ) for each anti-pertussis (PT, FHA, PRN and FIM) antibody, will demonstrate the booster response if they have post-vaccination levels ≥ 4xLLOQ
- Subjects whose pre-vaccination antibody concentrations are ≥ LLOQ but < 4xLLOQ, will demonstrate the booster response if they have a 4-fold rise rate (i.e., post-/pre-vaccination ≥ 4)
- Subjects whose pre-vaccination antibody concentrations are ≥ 4xLLOQ, will demonstrate the booster response if they have a 2-fold response (i.e., post-/pre-vaccination ≥ 2) Pre- and post-vaccination GMTs will be assesed. |

E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
1 vaccination visit. Each subject received 3/4* injections
Day 0 Visit 1 Group A:Tdap (left arm)+polio, MMR, & varicella vaccines (right arm) Day 0; Visit 1 Group B:DTaP (left arm; +polio, MMR, & varicella vaccines (right arm) Day 0; Visit 1 MMR & varicella vaccines were given either as 1 dose MMRV or as 2 separate doses 2 blood samples (BL1&BL2) totaling approx. 10 mL were collected from each subject: BL1 (5mL) collected prior to Visit 1 vaccination (Day 0). BL2 (5mL) collected on Visit 2 (Day 30). Each subject was followed for safety up to 180 days after vaccination initiated at 3, 8, 30, & 180 days after vaccination. Study duration was approx. 6 months. Subjects in the LTI follow-up, up to 2 blood samples (BL3 & BL4) collected from each subject up to 5 yrs after Visit 1 vaccination. |
