A Phase I, Randomized, Modified Single-blind, Active-controlled (Infants Only), Four-stage, Step-down, Comparative, Multi-center Study

Summary

The study will include groups of adults, toddlers, and infants who will receive different formulations of TetraMen-T, and one group of infants who will receive a control vaccine, Menjugate®. The primary objectives and their endpoints will be assessed in infants who receive TetraMen-T. The secondary objectives and their endpoints will be assessed only in the subset of infants who receive a booster dose of TetraMen-T. Primary objectives: 1. To describe the safety profile in infants following three injections of TetraMen-T, either a low-dose formulation (2 µg olysaccharide per serogroup without adjuvant), a low-dose adjuvanted formulation (2 µg polysaccharide per serogroup with djuvant), or a high-dose formulation (10 µg polysaccharide per serogroup without adjuvant), administered concomitantly with routine vaccines (Pentacel®, Prevnar®, and Engerix-B®). 2. To describe the immunogenicity profile in infants following three injections of TetraMen-T, either a low-dose formulation (2 µg polysaccharide per serogroup without adjuvant), a low-dose adjuvanted formulation (2 µg polysaccharide per serogroup with adjuvant), or a high-dose formulation (10 µg polysaccharide per serogroup without adjuvant), administered on comitantly with routine vaccines (Pentacel®, Prevnar®, and Engerix-B®). Secondary objectives: 1. To describe the safety profile in a subset of infants following a booster dose of TetraMen-T, either a low-dose formulation (2 µg polysaccharide per serogroup without adjuvant), a low-dose adjuvanted formulation (2 µg polysaccharide per erogroup with adjuvant), or a high-dose formulation (10 µg polysaccharide per serogroup without adjuvant), at 13 months of age. 2. To describe the immunogenicity profile in a subset of infants following a booster dose of TetraMen-T, either a low-dose formulation (2 µg polysaccharide per serogroup without adjuvant), a low-dose adjuvanted formulation (2 µg polysaccharide per serogroup with adjuvant), or a high-dose formulation (10 µg polysaccharide per serogroup without adjuvant), at 13 months of age.
