Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of Subjects With Anti-Polyribosylribitol Phosphate (Anti-PRP) Antibody Concentrations Greater Than or Equal to (≥) 1.0 µg/mL

Percentage of subjects with Anti-PRP antibody concentrations≥1.0 µg/mL were assessed. Analysis of Immunogenicity is performed on blood sample (BS) sub-cohorts. Assignment to a BS sub-cohort depends on the date of enrolment of the subject: BS sub-cohort for the first 200 , for the next 200 subjects or for the last 200 subjects. Within each BS sub-cohort subjects have been randomized 1:1 to either HibCY or PedHIB groups.As per an hierarchical procedure, the primary objective about Anti-PRP will first need to be met to be able to conclude on any other primary objective, and within each subsequent arm, the first primary objective will have to be reached to conclude on the second primary objective of that Epoch.
