Brief summary
Evaluate lot-to-lot consistency, safety and reactogenicity of 3 doses of GSK Biologicals' 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and non-inferiority with respect to Prevenar.
Detailed description
Test groups: 4 (400 subjects/group). 3 groups receiving 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (3 different lots) as follows: - 10-valent vaccine (lot 1, 2 or 3) + DTPa combined vaccine; Control group receiving Prevenar + DTPa combined vaccine

| Non-inferiority of 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (pooled data of 3 10-Pn-PD-DiT vaccine groups) w.r.t. Prevenar: all anti-pneumococcal serotypes Ab concentrations>=0.20 µg/mL | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1m post dose3: For all vaccine pneumococcal serotypes: Opsono titres | — |
| Antibody (Ab) concentrations >= 0.20 µg/mL | — |
| After each vaccination, occurrence of: solicited local, general symptoms within 4 days; | After each vaccination |
| S+/seroprotection status to antigens in DTPa combo vaccine | — |
| Ab concentrations to protein D and seropositivity (S+) status | — |
