ISRCTN ISRCTN95974322
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title Brazilian pentavalent vaccine
Scientific title Immunogenicity and safety of Brazilian combined vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, haemophilus influenzae type B and hepatitis B (DTPw/HB/hib)
Acronym N/A
Serial number at source ASCLIN/001/2007
Study hypothesis The Brazilian combined diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, haemophilus influenzae type B and hepatitis B (DTPw/HB/hib) vaccine is as immunogenic and safe as the current DTPw/Hib and HB vaccines administered separately.
Ethics approval Ethics approval received from the Fiocruz Ethics Committee on the 14th January 2007 (ref: 400/07).
Study design Multicentre, non-inferiority randomised controlled trial, partially blinded.
Countries of recruitment Brazil
Disease/condition/study domain Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B and haemophilus influenzae type B diseases

Patient information material Not available in web format, please use the contact details below to request a patient information sheet
Target number of participants 1200 volunteers
Interventions 1. Experimental group: vaccine (DTPw/HB/Hib) at 2, 4 and 6 months of age
2. Control group: DTPw/Hib and HB vaccines in concomitant injections at different sites

Both groups will receive HB vaccine at birth.
Primary outcome measure(s) Antibody titres to diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, haemophilus influenzae (PRP) and hepatitis B, and seroprotection rate, measured after third dose, shoud be non-inferior to that from the reference vaccines (DTP/Hib and HB vaccines given separately).
Secondary outcome measure(s) 1. Adverse event after each dose shoud be equivalent to reference vaccines
2. Consistency of production evaluated by equivalence in immunogenicity and safety of three lots of the experimental vaccine DTPw/HB/Hib
Sources of funding 1. Brazilian Ministry of Health (Brazil)
2. Brazilian Ministry of Science and Technology (Brazil)
