A novel combined Haemophilus influenzae type b-Neisseria meningitidis serogroups C and Y-tetanus-toxoid conjugate vaccine is immunogenic and induces immune memory when co-administered with DTPa-HBV-IPV and conjugate pneumococcal vaccines in infants

Abstract

Immunogenicity and safety of a novel combined Haemophilus influenzae type b-Neisseria meningitidis serogroups C and Y-tetanus-toxoid conjugate vaccine (Hib-MenCY-TT) candidate was evaluated when co-administered with DTPa-HBV-IPV(Pediarix™33Pediarix is the Trademark of the GlaxoSmithKline group of companies.) + PCV7(Prevnar™44Prevnar is the Trademark of Wyeth.) at 2-4-6 months of age. Anti-PRP concentrations ≥1.0 μg/mL were observed in 92.9-98.7%, rSBA-MenC/Y titres ≥1:8 in >98%, rSBA-MenC/Y titres ≥1:128 in >95.8 and >89.9% subjects. PRP and MenC responses were similar to respective controls (ActHIB™55ActHIB is the Trademark of Sanofi Pasteur. and Menjugate™66Menjugate is the Trademark of No..
