Popis: Vaxelis® (DTaP5-HB-IPV-Hib vaccine) is a fully liquid, ready-to-use, hexavalent vaccine containing diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, five acellular pertussis antigens, hepatitis B surface antigen, inactivated poliovirus and the Haemophilus influenzae type b capsular polysaccharide polyribosylribitol phosphate conjugated to the outer membrane protein complex of Neisseria meningitidis. In pivotal clinical studies in infants and toddlers, Vaxelis® was highly immunogenic for all its component toxoids/antigens when administered by three different schedules. In general, primary endpoints of seroprotection or vaccine response rates with Vaxelis® met the predefined acceptability criteria and were noninferior to those with comparator vaccines (Infanrix® hexa or Pentacel® + Recombivax HB®). Vaxelis® can be coadministered with a number of common childhood vaccines. In clinical studies, Vaxelis® was generally well tolerated with a tolerability profile similar to that of the comparator vaccines. Available clinical data indicate that Vaxelis® is a new hexavalent vaccine option for immunization against several serious childhood infectious diseases.
