Immunogenicity and Safety of a Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine in Population Aged 3 Years and Older in Chile and the Philippines: A Phase 3, Non-Inferiority, Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the non-inferiority of a quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV) developed by Sinovac Biotech Co., Ltd. (Sinovac, Beijing, China) by comparing its immunogenicity and safety with a comparator QIV (Vaxigrip Tetra) in a population aged 3 years and older in Chile and the Philippines.

Safety and immunogenicity of a tetravalent meningococcal serogroups A, C, W-135 and Y conjugate vaccine in adolescents and adults.

The highest incidence of invasive meningococcal disease is in young children, with a second peak in adolescents/young adults. All five major disease-causing serogroups (A, B, C, W-135 and Y) have been described in Asia. Immunogenicity and safety of the investigational meningococcal ACWY-tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine (ACWY-TT, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals) was evaluated in healthy, meningococcal conjugate vaccine-naïve adolescents in the Philippines, India and Taiwan.

Immunogenicity of routinely used childhood vaccines when coadministered with the 10-valent pneumococcal non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae protein D conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV).

Background: The choice of non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae Protein D as main carrier protein in the candidate 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals), was driven in part to avoid carrier-mediated suppression and possible bystander interference with coadministered vaccines. Immunogenicity data from 3 primary and 2 booster vaccination studies were assessed for possible impacts of PHiD-CV coadministration on immune responses to routinely administered childhood vaccines, in comparison to 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (7vCRM) coadministration.

Methods: Randomized, controlled studies in which PHiD-CV or 7vCRM vaccines were coadministered with DTPa-[HBV]-IPV/Hib, DTPa-[HBV]-IPV, DTPw-HBV/Hib, IPV, and OPV, combined Hib-Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C vaccine (Hib-MenC-TT), standalone MenC-TT or MenC-CRM vaccines.

The 10-valent pneumococcal non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae protein D conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV) coadministered with DTPw-HBV/Hib and poliovirus vaccines: assessment of immunogenicity.

Background: Immunogenicity of the 10-valent pneumococcal non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae protein D-conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV) was evaluated when coadministered with DTPw-HBV/Hib and OPV at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age in the Philippines, or with DTPw-HBV/Hib and IPV at 2, 4, and 6 months of age in Poland.

Methods: In this double-blind, controlled study (107007/NCT00344318), 400 Filipino and 406 Polish infants 6 to 12 weeks of age were randomized (3:1) to receive either PHiD-CV or the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (7vCRM). Immune responses were assessed 1 month post-dose III.

Safety and reactogenicity of the 10-valent pneumococcal non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae protein D conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV) when coadministered with routine childhood vaccines.

Background: Licensed pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (7vCRM) is usually coadministered with combination vaccines in pediatric immunization programs. Reactogenicity and safety after primary and booster vaccination with a novel 10-valent pneumococcal non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae protein D-conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV) in comparison with 7vCRM, both coadministered with commonly used pediatric vaccines, was evaluated in 5 clinical studies.

Methods: Five randomized, controlled studies in which PHiD-CV or licensed 7vCRM vaccines coadministered with various DTPa-based combination vaccines, Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C conjugate vaccines and DTPw-HBV/Hib were conducted.

A new DTPw-HBV/Hib vaccine: immune memory after primary vaccination and booster dosing in the second year of life.

The response to booster vaccination at 15-18 months of age and the presence of immune memory in 10-month old children, primed with a new combined diphtheria-tetanus-hepatitis B-whole cell pertussis vaccine extemporaneously mixed with Haemophilus influenzae type b-tetanus toxoid conjugate (DTPw-HBV/Hib) from new antigen sources and containing 2.5 microg polyribosyl-ribitol-phosphate (PRP) was assessed. Primary vaccination with the new DTPw-HBV/Hib vaccine was immunogenic and of comparable tolerability to commercially available Tritanrix HepB/Hiberix.

Immunogenicity and safety of a varicella vaccine, Okavax, and a trivalent measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, MMR-II, administered concomitantly in healthy Filipino children aged 12-24 months.

This trial was conducted to assess the immunogenicity and safety of the varicella vaccine, Okavax, when administered concomitantly with the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, MMR-II, to children aged 12-24 months. A total of 299 children were randomized into three groups, those receiving Okavax only, MMR-II only, or both vaccines concomitantly. Antibody titers were determined by ELISA in blood samples taken immediately before, and 6 weeks after, vaccination.

Immunogenicity and safety of a varicella vaccine (Okavax) and a trivalent measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (Trimovax) administered concomitantly in healthy Filipino children 12-24 months old.

The immunogenicity and safety of Okavax trade mark varicella vaccine, when administered concomitantly with Trimovax trade mark measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, were assessed in 300 Filipino children 12-24 months old. Three groups received Okavax only, Trimovax only, or both vaccines concomitantly. In sera obtained six weeks after vaccination, high varicella antibody geometric mean titers (GMTs) (115 and 79.
