Prior to 2006, M-M-R ®II (measles, mumps, and rubella virus vaccine live) was manufactured using human serum albumin (HSA) and each dose of the vaccine contained a relatively small amount (≤0.3mg) of HSA. Because of specific regulatory requirements and limited suppliers of HSA acceptable for human use, there was a need to replace HSA with recombinant human albumin (rHA) to mitigate any...
In randomized clinical studies, over 11,800 children, 12 months to 6 years of age, were administered ProQuad ® , a combination measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccine (MMRV). This paper describes the safety following a 2-dose regimen of MMRV administered to children in the second year of life.Safety data from five clinical studies were combined for all children who were scheduled to...
A manufacturing process using a modified adjuvant was developed to optimize the consistency and immunogenicity for recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (control: RECOMBIVAX-HB™). This modified process hepatitis B vaccine (mpHBV), which was previously shown to have an acceptable safety and immunogenicity profile in young adults, has now been studied in newborn infants.Healthy 1–10-day-old neonates (N=566)...
In an open, randomized, multicenter, controlled clinical trial in the US, 773 adults were administered either a combination hepatitis vaccine (Twinrix: 720 EL.U inactivated hepatitis A antigen and 20 mcg recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen per milliliter) on a 0, 1, 6 month schedule or corresponding monovalent vaccines concurrently (Havrix, 1440 EL.U/ml of hepatitis A antigen at 0, 6 months and...
Recent data indicate that Bordetella pertussis can be an important cause of illness in adolescents and adults. In a randomized observer- and subject-blinded study, adults (=<18 years of age) received an acellular pertussis (aP) vaccine containing genetically inactivated pertussis toxin (PT), filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) and pertactin (PRN), or a saline placebo, and were monitored for safety...
Five hundred and fifty-seven infants received either an acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine containing pertussis toxoid (PT), filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) and pertactin (PRN) or one of two commercially available whole-cell pertussis (DTP) vaccines at 2, 4 and 6 months. One month after the third immunization, IgG antibody values to pertussis toxoid, filamentous hemagglutinin and PRN were significantly...
