Frequently asked questions about ActHIB

What is ActHIB used for?

ActHIB is a vaccine used for Haemophilus Influenzae Type b, a bacterial infection that can cause serious illness in children. It is developed by GSK plc and is in Phase 3 clinical development. The vaccine is given to infants starting at 6 weeks of age.

Who makes ActHIB?

ActHIB is developed by GSK plc, a global healthcare company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker GSK. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the vaccine's safety and immunogenicity in infants.

What phase is ActHIB in?

ActHIB is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational vaccine and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. Four Phase 3 trials have been completed, with a total enrollment of over 13,000 participants.

What clinical trials is ActHIB in?

ActHIB has been studied in four completed clinical trials, including NCT00129129, NCT00289783, NCT00345579, and NCT01000974. These trials evaluated the vaccine's safety and immunogenicity compared to licensed Hib conjugate vaccines in healthy infants.

Is ActHIB the same as Hib-MenCY-TT?

ActHIB is a Haemophilus Influenzae Type b conjugate vaccine. In clinical trials, it has been compared to Hib-MenCY-TT, a combination vaccine targeting both Hib and meningococcal disease. These are distinct vaccines, though both are studied for Hib prevention.

How does ActHIB work?

ActHIB is a vaccine that works by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against Haemophilus Influenzae Type b. It is designed to prevent infection by this bacterium, which can cause meningitis and other serious infections in young children.
