Evaluation of Boostrix™10 Years After Previous Booster Vaccination

Overview

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of a dTpa (Boostrix™ vaccine) booster dose given 10 years after the previous vaccination with dTpa in GSK 263855/029 study. Only subjects who were part of the primary study will be invited to participate in this study.This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the booster phase.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Boostrix-REF Group
    • Subjects in this group were healthy adult subjects aged 18 to 28 years at the time of enrolment and with previous completed primary and booster vaccination with a diphtheria-tetanus-whole cell pertussis vaccine completed by one additional booster dose of Boostrix™ vaccine, reference formulation, at Day 0 in GSK 263855/029 study. These subjects received, as part of this NCT01147900 study, one further booster dose of Boostrix™ vaccine, reference formulation, at Year 10, 10 years after booster vaccination in the GSK 263855/029 study. The Boostrix™ vaccine was administered intramuscularly in the deltoid muscle of the non-dominant arm.
