The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of repeating dTpa booster in adults 10 years after previous booster vaccination with dTpa in a previous clinical study (NCT01267058). Only subjects who received the booster vaccination in a previous clinical study are eligible for participation in this study. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007. No new recruitment will be performed in this booster phase (see inclusion criteria).

Number of Subjects With Anti-diphtheria (Anti-DT) and Anti-tetanus Toxoid (Anti-TT) Antibody Concentrations Equal to or Above (≥) 0.1 International Units Per Milliliter (IU/mL)
Cut-off values defining seroprotected subjects against anti-DT/anti-TT were greater than or equal to (≥) 0.1 IU/mL as assessed by the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The analysis was performed and presents results only for subjects who in the previous study NCT01267058, had received the Boostrix™ vaccine as first booster.
Time frame: One month after the booster vaccination [PI(M1)]
Number of Subjects With Anti-diphtheria (Anti-DT) and Anti-tetanus Toxoids (Anti-TT) Antibody Concentrations Equal to or Above Cut-off Values
Cut-off values, as assessed by ELISA, were greater than or equal to (≥) 0.1 IU/mL and (≥) 1 IU/mL.
Time frame: Prior to (PRE) and one month after [PI(M1)] the booster vaccination
Anti-diphtheria (Anti-DT) and Anti-tetanus Toxoids (Anti-TT) Antibody Concentrations
Concentrations were presented as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs), expressed in international units per milliliter (IU/mL).
Time frame: Prior to (PRE) and one month after [PI(M1)] the booster vaccination
Number of Subjects With Anti-DT and Anti-TT Antibody Concentrations Equal to or Above Cut-off Values
Cut-off values, as assessed by ELISA, were greater than or equal to (≥) 0.1 IU/mL and ≥ 1 IU/mL. This endpoint presents results for subjects included in the ATP cohort for antibody persistence.
Time frame: Prior (PRE) to booster vaccination
Anti-DT and Anti-TT Antibody Concentrations
Concentrations are presented as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs), expressed in international units per milliliter (IU/mL).
Time frame: Prior to the booster vaccination
Number of Seronegative Subjects for Anti-DT Antibodies - ELISA
Seronegative subjects were defined as subjects with anti-DT antibody concentrations \< 0.1 IU/mL prior to vaccination, as assessed by ELISA.
Time frame: Prior the booster vaccination
Number of Seronegative Subjects for Anti-DT Antibodies - Neutralisation Test
Sera with ELISA concentrations \<0.1 IU/mL before vaccination were tested for neutralising antibodies using a Vero-cell neutralisation assay. Concentrations ≥0.016 IU/mL by Vero-cell indicated detectable anti-diphteria neutralising antibodies.
Time frame: Prior the booster vaccination
Number of Seropositive Subjects for Anti-pertussis Toxoid (Anti-PT), Anti-filamentous Haemagglutinin (Anti-FHA) and Anti-pertactin (Anti-PRN) Antibodies
Cut-off values, as assessed by ELISA, were greater than or equal to ≥ 5 ELISA Units per millilitre (EL.U/mL) defining seropositive subjects post-vaccination.
Time frame: Prior the booster vaccination
Anti-PT, Anti-FHA and Anti-PRN Antibody Concentrations
Concentrations are presented as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs), expressed in ELISA units per millilitre (EL.U/mL)
Time frame: Prior the booster vaccination
Number of Seronegative Subjects for Anti-DT Antibodies - ELISA.
Seronegative subjects were defined as subjects with anti-DT antibody concentrations \< 0.1 IU/mL prior to vaccination, as assessed by ELISA.
Time frame: Prior to the booster vaccination
Number of Seronegative Subjects for Anti-DT Antibodies - Neutralisation Test.
Sera with ELISA concentrations \<0.1 IU/mL before vaccination were tested for neutralising antibodies using a Vero-cell neutralisation assay. Concentrations ≥0.016 IU/mL by Vero-cell indicated detectable anti-diphteria neutralising antibodies.
Time frame: Prior to the booster vaccination
Number of Seronegative Subjects for Anti-DT Antibodies - ELISA

Time frame: One month after the booster vaccination
Number of Seronegative Subjects for Anti-DT Antibodies - Neutralisation Test
Sera with ELISA concentrations \<0.1 IU/mL before vaccination were tested for neutralising antibodies using a Vero-cell neutralisation assay. Concentrations ≥ 0.016 IU/mL by Vero-cell indicated detectable anti-diphteria neutralising antibodies.
Time frame: One month after the booster vaccination
Number of Seropositive Subjects for Anti-PT, Anti-FHA and Anti-PRN Antibodies
Cut-off values, as assessed by ELISA, were greater than or equal to ≥ 5 ELISA Units per millilitre (EL.U/mL) defining seropositive subjects post-vaccination.

Anti-PT, Anti-FHA and Anti-PRN Antibody Concentrations
Concentrations are presented as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs), expressed in ELISA units per millilitre (EL.U/mL).
Time frame: Prior to (PRE) and one month after [PI(M1)] the booster vaccination
Number of Subjects With Booster Response to Anti-PT, Anti-FHA and Anti-PRN
Booster response was defined as appearance of antibodies in subjects who were seronegative at the pre-vaccination time point (i.e. with concentrations \< 5 El.U/mL) or at least 2-fold increase of pre-vaccination antibody concentrations in subjects who were seropositive at the pre-vaccination time point (i.e. with concentrations ≥5 El.U/mL).
Time frame: One month after the booster vaccination
Number of Subjects With Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms
Assessed solicited local symptoms were pain, redness and swelling. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain = pain that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond 50 millimeters (mm) of injection site. Relationship analysis was not performed. For safety assessment Boostrix I Group and Boostrix II Group were pooled into Booster Pooled Group.
Time frame: During the 4-day (Day 0-3) follow-up period after booster vaccination
Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms
Assessed solicited general symptoms were fatigue, fever \[defined as axillary temperature equal to or above 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)\], headache, gastrointestinal symptoms \[nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and/or abdominal pain\]. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 symptom = symptom that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = fever \> 39.0 °C. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination. For safety assessment Boostrix I Group and Boostrix II Group were pooled into Booster Pooled Group.
Time frame: During the 4-day (Day 0-3) follow-up period after booster vaccination
Number of Subjects With Any Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)
An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination. For safety assessment Boostrix I Group and Boostrix II Group were pooled into Booster Pooled Group.
Time frame: During the 31-day (Day 0-30) follow-up period after booster vaccination
