This study evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of a new booster vaccine manufactured by Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd (SIIPL Tdap) against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. The results showed that SIIPL Tdap is non-inferior to the comparator Tdap in terms of safety and immunogenicity, with higher antibody concentrations.
Background: This study assessed the safety and immunogenicity of a new booster vaccine against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis manufactured by Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd (SIIPL Tdap). Methods: The Phase II/III trial was randomized (2:1), observer blinded and active controlled. Healthy subjects aged 4-65 years received a single dose of either SIIPL Tdap or comparator Tdap vaccine (Boostrix (R), GlaxoSmithKline, Belgium), and were followed-up for 30 days. Blood samples for safety and immunogenicity assessments were collected pre-vaccination and on day 30 post-vaccination. The study assessed safety and reactogenicity of SIIPL Tdap compared to the comparator Tdap as well as the co-primary immunogenicity out-comes: (i) seroprotection rates against diphtheria toxoid (DT) and tetanus toxoid (TT) and (ii) the booster response rates against pertussis toxoid (PT), filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) and pertactin (PRN) 30 days post-vaccination in all study subjects. A margin of-10 % was used for non-inferiority testing. Secondary outcomes included the booster response rates against DT and TT, seropositivity rates against pertussis antigens, and antibody geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) for all vaccine components.Results: At Day 30 post-vaccination, SIIPL Tdap was assessed as non-inferior to the comparator Tdap in terms of: i) seroprotection rates against DT (94.4 % vs. 94.9 %) and TT (99.9 % vs. 100 %) and ii) pertussis booster response rates (93.8 % vs. 88.4 % anti-PT, 89.7 % vs. 90.9 % anti-FHA and 86.3 % vs. 84.4 % anti-PRN), for SIIPL Tdap versus comparator Tdap, respectively. GMCs for anti-PT and anti-PRN were higher in subjects vaccinated with SIIPL Tdap compared to comparator Tdap. All other secondary outcomes were comparable. The overall frequency of local and systemic solicited AEs was comparable; no treatment related SAEs were reported.Conclusions: Booster vaccination with SIIPL Tdap was non-inferior to comparator Tdap with respect to the immunogenicity of the vaccine components and was equally well tolerated.
