Study summary

Primary objective:

  • To demonstrate the non-inferiority in terms of seroprotection rates (Hib antigen (PRP), Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis antigens (PT and FHA), and polio types 1, 2 and 3 antigens) of investigational arm (Group A: DTaP-IPV/Hib) versus control arm (Group B: DTaP-IPV and Hib vaccines administered at separate sites), one month after the primary vaccination (all antigens).

Secondary objectives:

  • To describe immune responses against all vaccine antigens with no pre-specified hypothesis, and at all time points (pre-dose 1, post-dose 3, pre-dose 4 and post-dose 4) in the two study groups (Group A and Group B).
  • To describe the safety after each dose of each vaccine in the two study groups (Group A and Group B).
  • To describe immune responses against all vaccine antigens with no pre-specified hypothesis, and at all time points (pre-dose 1, post-dose 3, pre-dose 4 and post-dose 4 (Group C)
Read the detailed description

Participants will be enrolled in two steps (Cohort 1 and Cohort 2). Step one will enroll Cohort 1 made of 40 participants randomized in two groups with a 1:1 ratio.

After review of the local and systemic adverse events occurring during the 7 Days following the first dose administered in these subjects, 2nd vaccination of Cohort 1 participants will resume and enrollment of the participants of Cohort number 2 will start. Step two will enroll Cohort 2 made of subjects randomized in two groups with a 1:1 ratio.

A sub-study Group C will be enrolled and will receive the vaccine by intramuscular route.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Oct 2014 to primary completion in May 2016, 19 months.

Of 54 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Tetanus, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 21. This study's 19 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 55 studies reached it within 12 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 21.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 25, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
