Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of seropositive participants for anti-pertussis toxin (anti-PT), anti-filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) and anti-pertactin (PRN) antibodies
1 month after vaccination

Seropositivity is defined as antibody concentrations (anti-PT, anti-FHA and anti-PRN) are greater than or equal to the assessed assay cut-offs. The considered cut-off values are: anti-PT: 2.693 International Units per milliliter (IU/mL), anti-FHA: 2.046 IU/mL, anti-PRN: 2.187 IU/mL, as measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Number of seroprotected participants for anti-diphteria and anti-tetanus antibodies
1 month after vaccination

Seroprotection is defined as anti-diphtheria and anti- tetanus antibody concentrations being \>=0.1 IU/mL as measured by ELISA.

Number of seropositive healthy pregnant women for anti-pertussis toxin (PT), anti-filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) and anti-pertactin (PRN) antibodies
At Month 1 post-vaccination

Frequently asked questions about dTpa vaccine

What is the dTpa vaccine used for?

The dTpa vaccine is used for immunization against diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (whooping cough). It is being studied in healthy Japanese adolescents aged 11 to under 13 years and in healthy pregnant women aged 18 years and older. The vaccine is currently in Phase 3 clinical development.

Who makes the dTpa vaccine?

The dTpa vaccine is developed by GSK plc, a global biopharma company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker GSK. GSK is conducting Phase 3 clinical trials to evaluate the vaccine's immune response and safety in Japanese populations.

What phase is the dTpa vaccine in?

The dTpa vaccine is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational vaccine, meaning it has not been approved by regulatory authorities. Two Phase 3 trials are currently active, one in adolescents and one in pregnant women, both conducted in Japan.

What clinical trials is the dTpa vaccine in?

The dTpa vaccine is being studied in two Phase 3 trials. NCT07596173 evaluates immune response and safety in healthy Japanese adolescents aged 11 to under 13 years, with 90 participants. NCT07596199 evaluates the same in healthy Japanese pregnant women aged 18 years and older, with 100 participants. Both trials are active.

Is the dTpa vaccine the same as dTpa?

Yes, the dTpa vaccine is also known as dTpa. The name dTpa refers to the combined diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine. In clinical trials, it is referred to as a combined vaccine against these three diseases.
