Immuno & Safety Study With 2 Formulations of DTPw-HBV/HIB When Given at Birth With Hepatitis B at 2, 4 and 6 Mths.Age.

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
A trial to characterize the immunogenicity of 2 different formulations of a vaccine from GSK Biologicals, including the following five antigens: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b. A vaccine from Commonwealth Serum Laboratories (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis) which is co-administered with Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine will also be used as a comparator. Reactogenicity and safety of all vaccines will be assessed as well.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The study will be carried out in a partially double blind manner (i.e. double blind with respect to DTPwGöd-HBV/Hib Kft and DTPwCSL-HBV/Hib Kft groups and open with respect to CSL's Triple Antigen & Hib group). Subjects will be randomly allocated to one of the three following groups to receive: GSK Biologicals Kft's combined DTPwGöd-HBV/Hib Kft vaccine. GSK Biologicals Kft's combined DTPwCSL-HBV/Hib Kft vaccine. CSL's Triple Antigen + GSK Biologicals' Hib vaccines. There will be a specific follow-up of solicited local and general symptoms during 4 days after each vaccination and of unsolicited symptoms for 31 days after each vaccination. Serious adverse events reported during the study period will be recorded. 

Official Title
