  • Title: The immunogenicity and reactogenicity of DTPw-HBV/Hib 2.5 combination vaccine: results from four phase III multicenter trials across three continents.

    Journal: Vaccine; 2007 Dec 05; 25(50):8432-40. PubMed ID: 17961876.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents the results of four separate phase III trials, which assessed the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of DTPw-HBV/Hib 2.5 in comparison with licensed Tritanrix-Hep B (GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals) and Hiberix (10 microg PRP), given as separate or mixed injections (3 trials) or with or without hepatitis B vaccine at birth (1 trial). The immunogenicity of DTPw-HBV/Hib 2.5 was non-inferior to the reference vaccine regimen in terms of seropositivity rates. The overall reactogenicity profile of DTPw-HBV/Hib 2.5 was also similar to that of the reference vaccine regimen. These results confirm the previously established immunogenicity and safety of reduced dose PRP conjugated vaccine regimens.
