The purpose of this study is to describe the immunogenicity and safety of a novel DTaP- IPV- Hep B-PRT~T fully liquid combined hexavalent vaccine (Hexaxim™) administered at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age in infants born to mothers documented to be serum anti-hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) serology negative in India.
Primary Objective:
- To evaluate the immunogenicity of the study vaccine in terms of seroprotection [diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, poliovirus types 1, 2 and 3, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) polysaccharide (PRP), hepatitis B (Hep B)] and vaccine response for pertussis antigens [pertussis toxoid (PT) and filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA)] one month after the third dose.
Secondary Objectives:
- To further describe the immunogenicity of the study vaccine, before the first dose and one month after the third dose.
- To describe the safety after each and any doses of the study vaccine.

- Percentage of Participants With Seroprotection After Vaccinations With Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP-T Combined Vaccine Following a Documented Dose of a Commercial Oral Poliovirus Vaccine and Recombinant Hep B Monovalent Vaccine at Birth [ Time Frame: Pre-dose 1 to one month post-dose 3 ]
Diphtheria antibodies were measured by a toxin neutralization test, tetanus antibodies by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Haemophilus influenzae type b polysaccharide (PRP) antibodies by Farr type radioimmunoassay, poliovirus 1, 2, and 3 antibodies by a neutralization assay, and Hepatitis B (Hep B) antibodies were measured by VITROS ECi/ECiQ Immunodiagnostic System.
Description of seroprotection: Diphtheria and Tetanus antibody concentrations ≥0.01 International Units (IU)/mL; Poliovirus 1, 2, and 3 titers ≥8 (1/dilution); Hep B concentrations ≥10 mIU/mL, and PRP ≥0.15 µg/mL.
- Percentage of Participants With Vaccine Response After Vaccinations With Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP-T Combined Vaccine Following a Documented Dose of a Commercial Oral Poliovirus Vaccine and Recombinant Hep B Monovalent Vaccine at Birth [ Time Frame: Pre-dose 1 to one month post-dose 3 ]Anti-pertussis toxin (PT) and anti-filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) antibodies were measured with an ELISA. Vaccine response was defined as percentage of participants with post-dose 3 anti-PT and anti-FHA antibody concentrations in ELISA units (EU)/mL ≥ 4 x Lower Limit of Quantification (LLOQ) if pre-vaccination concentration was < 4 x LLOQ or ≥ pre-vaccination concentration if pre-vaccination concentrations ≥ 4 x LLOQ.
- Percentage of Participants With Seroprotection Before and After Vaccinations With Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP-T Combined Vaccine Following a Documented Dose of a Commercial Oral Poliovirus Vaccine and Recombinant Hep B Monovalent Vaccine at Birth [ Time Frame: Pre-dose 1 to one month post-dose 3 ]
Diphtheria antibodies were measured by a toxin neutralization test, tetanus antibodies by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Haemophilus influenzae type b polysaccharide (PRP) antibodies by Farr type radioimmunoassay, poliovirus 1, 2, and 3 antibodies by a neutralization assay, and Hepatitis B (Hep B) antibodies were measured by VITROS ECi/ECiQ Immunodiagnostic System.
Description of seroprotection: Diphtheria and Tetanus antibody concentrations ≥0.01 International Units (IU)/mL; Poliovirus 1, 2, and 3 titers ≥8 (1/dilution); Hep B concentrations ≥10 mIU/mL, and PRP ≥0.15 µg/mL.
- Geometric Mean Titers of Antibodies Against Vaccine Antigens After Vaccinations With Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP-T Combined Vaccine After a Documented Dose of an Oral Poliovirus Vaccine and Recombinant Hep B Monovalent Vaccine at Birth [ Time Frame: Pre-dose 1 to one month post-dose 3 ]Diphtheria antibodies were measured by a toxin neutralization test, tetanus, PT, and FHA antibodies by an ELISA, PRP antibodies by a Farr type radioimmunoassay, poliovirus 1, 2, and 3 antibodies by a neutralization assay, and Hep B antibodies were measured by VITROS ECi/ECiQ Immunodiagnostic System.
- Geometric Mean Titer Ratios of Antibodies Against Vaccine Antigens After Vaccinations With Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP-T Combined Vaccine After a Documented Dose of Oral Poliovirus Vaccine and Recombinant Hep B Monovalent Vaccine at Birth [ Time Frame: Pre-dose 1 to one month post-dose 3 ]Diphtheria antibodies were measured by a toxin neutralization test, PT and FHA antibodies by an ELISA, and Hep B antibodies were measured by VITROS ECi/ECiQ Immunodiagnostic System.
- Percentage of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection-site or Systemic Reaction After Each Vaccination With Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP-T Combined Vaccine Following a Documented Dose of Oral Poliovirus and Recombinant Hep B Vaccine at Birth [ Time Frame: Within 7 days after each vaccine injection ]Injection-site reactions: Tenderness, Erythema, and Swelling. Systemic reactions: Fever, Vomiting, Crying abnormal, Drowsiness, Appetite lost, and Irritability. Grade 3 Injection site reactions: Tenderness, Cries when injected limb is moved, or reduced movement of injected limb; Erythema and Swelling, ≥50 mm. Grade 3 Systemic reactions: Fever, >39.5°C or >103.1°F; Vomiting, ≥6 episodes/24 hours or requires parenteral hydration; Crying abnormal, >3 hours; Drowsiness, Sleeping most of the time/difficult to wake up; Appetite lost, Refuses ≥3 or most feeds/meals; Irritability, Inconsolable.
