This is a follow-up of the primary series vaccination schedule in Study A3L24 (NCT01177722). The objectives are:
- To describe the antibody persistence to any antigen contained in the investigational DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP-T vaccine and Infanrix hexa™ prior to the booster dose
- To describe the safety and immunogenicity of the booster dose of either DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP-T or Infanrix hexa™ vaccine.
- To describe the immunogenicity of a booster dose of Prevenar™ given at 12 to 24 months.

- Summary of Diphtheria and Tetanus Post Primary Series Antibodies, Persistence and Booster Response Following Vaccination With Either DTaP-IPV Hep B-PRP T Vaccine or Infanrix Hexa Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 140 (Primary series) and Day 0 (Pre-booster) ]
Anti-Diphtheria (D) antibodies were measured by a toxin neutralization test. Anti-Tetanus (T) antibodies were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Antibody persistence for anti-Diphtheria and anti-Tetanus antibodies was defined as titers ≥0.01 IU/mL and ≥0.1 IU/mL before the booster dose at Day 0. Booster response to Diphtheria and Tetanus was defined as antibody titers ≥0.01 IU/mL and ≥0.1 IU/mL at Day 30 post-booster vaccination.
Day 140 = Primary series; Day 0 = Pre-booster; and Day 30 = Post-booster titers
- Summary of Pertussis and Filamentous Haemagglutinin Post Primary Series Antibodies, Persistence and Booster Response Following Vaccination With Either DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T Vaccine or Infanrix Hexa Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 140 after primary vaccination, Day 0 (pre-vaccination), and Day 30 after final booster vaccination ]
Anti-Pertussis toxin (PT) and anti-Filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA) antibodies were measured by ELISA. Antibody persistence for anti-PT and anti-FHA was defined as titers ≥ lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) before the booster dose at Day 0. Booster responses for PT and FHA at Day 30 were defined as: pre-vaccination antibody concentrations < LLOQ and post-vaccination levels ≥ 4 x LLOQ, pre-vaccination antibody concentrations ≥ LLOQ but < 4 x LLOQ and post/pre vaccination ≥ 4, and pre-vaccination antibody concentrations ≥ 4 x LLOQ and post/pre-vaccination ≥ 2.
Day 140 = Primary series; Day 0 = Pre-booster; and Day 30 = Post-booster titers.
- Summary of Polio Antibodies Post Primary Series, Persistence and Booster Response Following Vaccination With Either DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T Vaccine or Infanrix Hexa Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 140 after primary vaccination, Day 0 (pre-vaccination), and Day 30 after final booster vaccination ]
Anti-Poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 antibodies were measured by neutralization assay. Antibody persistence for anti-Poliovirus 1, 2, and 3 was defined as antibody titers ≥8 (1/dil) before the booster dose at Day 0. Booster response to Poliovirus 1, 2, and 3 was defined as antibody titers ≥8 (1/dil) at Day 30.
Day 140 = Primary series; Day 0 = Pre-booster; and Day 30 = Post-booster titers.
- Summary of Hepatitis B and Haemophilus Influenzae Type B Post Primary Series Antibodies; Antibody Persistence, and Booster Response Following Vaccination With Either DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T Vaccine or Infanrix Hexa Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 140 after primary vaccination, Day 0 (pre-vaccination), and Day 30 after final booster vaccination ]
Anti-Hepatitis B antibodies were measured by the commercially available VITROS ECi/ECiQ Immunodiagnostic System. Anti-Haemophilus influenza type b capsular polyribosyl ribitol phosphate (PRP) antibodies were measured using a Farr type radioimmunoassay that used radiolabeled PRP (3H PRP) in the presence of 36Cl (volume marker). Anti-Hepatitis antibody titers ≥ 10 mIU/mL and ≥ 100 mIU/mL at Day 0 confirmed antibody persistence and booster response at Day 30. Anti-PRP antibody titers ≥ 0.15 µg/ml and ≥ 1.0 µg/ml at Day 0 confirmed antibody persistence and booster response at Day 30.
Day 140 = Primary series; Day 0 = Pre-booster; and Day 30 = Post-booster titers.
