The aim of the study is to generate additional safety and immunogenicity data to support the registration of the product in Japan.
Primary objectives:
- To demonstrate the non-inferiority of SP306 versus DT (DT 0.1mL) vaccine in terms of diphtheria and tetanus booster response rate (proportion of subjects with booster responses) and seroprotection rate (percentage of subjects with antitoxin concentrations ≥0.1 IU/mL) at 28 days (window 28-35 days) after one injection in Japanese adolescents 11-12 years of age.
- To evaluate the immune response of SP306 against the pertussis antigens PT and FHA in terms of booster response rate (proportion of subjects with booster responses) at 28 days (window 28-35 days) after one injection in Japanese adolescents 11-12 years of age.
Secondary objectives:
- To further evaluate the immune response of the study vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis antigens.
- To assess the safety of the study vaccines after one injection in Japanese adolescents 11-12 years of age.

- Percentage of Participants With Diphtheria and Tetanus Post-vaccination Booster Response Following Vaccination With Either SP306 or DT [ Time Frame: Day 28 post-vaccination ]
Diphtheria booster response was defined as a ≥4-fold rise in pre- to post-vaccination antitoxin concentration in a subject with a pre-vaccination antitoxin concentration ≤ 2.56 IU/mL or a ≥ 2-fold rise in a subject with a pre-vaccination antitoxin concentration >2.56 IU/mL. A tetanus booster response is defined as a ≥ 4-fold rise in pre- to post-vaccination antitoxin concentration in a subject with a pre-vaccination antitoxin concentration ≤ 2.7 IU/mL or a ≥ 2-fold rise in a subject with a pre-vaccination antitoxin concentration >2.7 IU/mL.
Diphtheria antitoxin concentration was assayed by the toxin neutralization test; Tetanus antitoxin concentration was assayed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method
- Percentage of Participants With Seroprotection to Diphtheria and Tetanus Antigens Post-booster Vaccination With Either SP306 or DT Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 28 post-vaccination ]
Seroprotection was defined as the proportion of subjects at 28 days post-vaccination with diphtheria and tetanus antitoxin concentration ≥0.1 IU/mL.
Diphtheria antitoxin concentration was assayed by the toxin neutralization test; Tetanus antitoxin concentration was assayed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method
- Percentage of Participants With Pertussis Booster Response Following Vaccination With Either SP306 or DT Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 28 post-vaccination ]
Pertussis booster response was defined as a pre-vaccination antibody concentration less than the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) and a post vaccination level ≥ 4XLLOQ; or a pre-vaccination antibody concentration ≥ LLOQ but < 4XLLOQ and a 4-fold rise (i.e. post/pre-vaccination ≥ 4); or a pre-vaccination antibody concentrations ≥ 4XLLOQ and a 2-fold rise (i.e. post/pre-vaccination ≥2).
Pertussis antitoxin concentration were assayed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.
- Percentage of Participation With Seroprotection to Diphtheria and Tetanus Antigens Before Vaccination With Either SP306 or DT Vaccine [ Time Frame: Pre-vaccination (Day 0) ]
Seroprotection was defined as the proportion of participants with pre-vaccination with diphtheria and tetanus antitoxin concentration ≥ 0.1 IU/mL.
Diphtheria antitoxin concentration was assayed by the toxin neutralization test; Tetanus antitoxin concentration was assayed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.
- Percentage of Participants With Seroprotection to Diphtheria and Tetanus Antigens Before and Following Vaccination With Either SP306 or DT Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 28 post-vaccination ]
Seroprotection was defined as the proportion of participants with diphtheria and tetanus antitoxin concentration level ≥ 0.01 IU/mL.
Diphtheria antitoxin concentration was assayed by the toxin neutralization test; Tetanus antitoxin concentration was assayed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.
- Geometric Mean Concentration of Diphtheria and Tetanus Antibodies Before and Following Vaccination With Either SP306 or DT Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 28 post-vaccination ]Diphtheria antitoxin concentration was assayed by the toxin neutralization test; Tetanus antitoxin concentration was assayed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method
- Percentage of Participants With Pertussis (Pertactin and Fimbriae Types 2 and 3) Booster Response Following Vaccination With Either SP306 or DT Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 28 post-vaccination ]
Pertussis booster response was defined as a pre-vaccination antibody concentration less than the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) and a post-vaccination level ≥ 4XLLOQ; or a pre-vaccination antibody concentration ≥ LLOQ but < 4XLLOQ and a 4-fold rise (i.e. post/pre-vaccination ≥ 4); or a pre-vaccination antibody concentrations ≥ 4XLLOQ and a 2-fold rise (i.e. post/pre-vaccination ≥2).
Pertussis antitoxin concentration were assayed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.
- Geometric Mean Concentration of Pertussis Antibodies Before and Following Vaccination With Either SP306 or DT Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 28 post-vaccination ]Pertussis antitoxin concentration were assayed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method
- Percentage of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection-site and Systemic Reactions Following a Single Booster Dose of SP306 or DT Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 up to Day 7 post-vaccination ]Solicited injection-site: Pain, Erythema, Swelling; Solicited systemic reactions: Fever (Temperature), Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia. Grade 3 injection-site: Pain Significant, prevents daily activity; Erythema and Swelling >100 mm. Grade 3 systemic reactions: Fever, >39˚C; Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia, Significant, prevents daily activity.
