Outcome results
Anti-Hepatitis B (HBs) Antibody Concentrations for All Study Groups

The assay cut-off was the seropositivity cut-off value of greater than or equal to (\>=) 10 mIU/mL. A decrease in the specificity of the anti-HBs ELISA assay had been observed in some studies for low levels of antibody (10-100 mIU/mL). The table shows updated results following partial or complete retesting/reanalysis, for each RTS,S Regimen A, B, C and each Engerix B Regimen A and B study groups.

Pneumococcal Antibody Concentrations Against Synflorix Pneumococcal Vaccine Serotypes at Month 17
Antibody concentrations were measured by GSK assay, and expressed as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs), in micrograms per milliliter (µg/mL). The pneumococcal vaccine serotypes assessed were the serotypes 1, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F and 23F. The cut-off of the assay, by GSK assay, was greater than or equal to (\>=) 0.2 μg/mL. This corresponds to the standard ELISA value of 0.35 μg/mL. This outcome concerns the subjects who received the RTS,S or Engerix -B vaccine co-administered with Synflorix. Results presented are for the study groups pooled by co-administration, that is, for the RTS,S Regimen A and Engerix -B Regimen A groups.
Time frame: At Month 17, aka one month post the Month 16 booster dose of Synflorix
Population: The analysis was performed on the According-to-Protocol cohort for immunogenicity, which included all evaluable subjects (i.e. those meeting all eligibility criteria, complying with the procedures and intervals defined in the protocol, with no elimination criteria during the study) for whom data concerning immunogenicity measures were available.
