Antigens Adjuvant(s) Preservative(s) pH Contaminants Stabilizer(s) Excipient(s) Potentially deleterious interactions between vaccine components Possible adverse consequences • Reduced immunogenicity • Increased reactogenicity • Shortened shelf life • Complicated manufacture
Infanrix penta and Infanrix hexa:Key objectives of clinical development Demonstration of • safety and acceptable reactogenicity • immunogenicity in various schedules • persistence of antibodies up to the booster dose • protective efficacy of each vaccine component • lot-to-lot consistency
Infanrix penta and Infanrix hexa:Integrated clinical trial programme • Common inclusion and exclusion criteria • Common reactogenicity assessment • Common serological assays • Randomized controlled trials: predefined statistical criteria to demonstrate non-inferiority vs. licensed vaccines
Infanrix penta: primary immunization trials * a dose of HBV was given at birth
Infanrix hexa: primary immunization trials * one study group received a dose of HBV at birth

Infanrix hexa: D, T, Pa, HepB, IPV • Non-inferiority of Infanrix hexa post-primary vaccination as compared to licensed vaccines • DTPa-IPV/Hib • DTPw-IPV/Hib • Separate administration of DTPa, HepB, Hib and OPV • Similar distribution of antibody titres (Reverse Cumulative Distribution Curves - RCCs)

Hib immunogenicity Anti-PRP antibody titres are lower when Hib vaccines are combined with DTPa-based vaccines as compared to the separate injection of the vaccines
Infanrix hexa: Hib In all clinical trials, regardless of vaccination schedule, 96 % of subjects achieved concentrations 0.15 µg/ml Non-inferiority of Infanrix hexa as compared to licensed DTPa-IPV/Hib vaccine Identical functional capacity of anti-PRP antibodies induced by Infanrix hexa and by licensed Hib vaccines Effective induction of immune memory Proven field effectiveness of DTPa/Hib andDTPa-IPV/Hib under conditions of routine use

In all clinical trials,no cases reported of • Hypotonic hyporesponsiveness • Encephalopathy • Anaphylaxis Infanrix penta: 23 439 doses Infanrix hexa: 15 920 doses
Infanrix penta and Infanrix hexa: conclusions Protective efficacy not affected by combination of antigens Tolerability of primary and booster doses in line with that of other licensed vaccines Reduced number of injections Make room for new (pneumococcal, meningococcal) vaccines Add value to current standard of medical care
