Brief summary
This study will assess the immunogenicity and safety of the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' (formerly SmithKline Beecham Biologicals') combined DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib (Infanrix hexa™) vaccine administered in the 3rd, 5th, 11th month of life. The last dose of DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib will be given simultaneously with one dose of OPV vaccine.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Immunogenicity with respect to the components of the study vaccine in terms of number of subjects with antibody titres greater than or equal to cut off values | One month after the second dose and one month after the third dose of the primary vaccination course ( Month 3 and Month 9) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Immunogenicity with respect to the components of the study vaccine in terms of antibody titers | Before the first dose (Month 0), one month after the second dose and one month after the third dose of the primary vaccination course ( Month 3 and Month 9). |
| Immunogenicity with respect to the components of the study vaccine in terms of number of subjects with vaccine response | One month after the second dose, and one month after the third dose of the primary vaccination course (Month 3 and Month 9). |
| Immunogenicity with respect to the components of the study vaccine in terms of number of subjects with antibody titres greater than or equal to cut off values | Before the first dose ( Month 0 ) |
| Number of subjects with solicited and unsolicited adverse events | After each dose of the study vaccines (Month 0, Month 3 and Month 9) and overall |
| Number of subjects with serious adverse events | During the study period (Month 0 to Month 9) |
| Immunogenicity with respect to the components of the study vaccine in terms of antibody titres greater than or equal to cut off values | One month after the second dose, and one month after the third dose of the primary vaccination course (Month 3 and Month 9). |
