Brief Summary   This is a randomized, single-blind, parallel, active-controlled, non-inferiority, multicentre clinical trial to evaluate and compare the immunogenicity and safety of Pentavalent (DTwP-HepB-Hib) vaccine of M/s Cadila Healthcare Ltd. [Test vaccine] with Pentavalent (DTwP-HepB-Hib) vaccine of M/s Panacea Biotec Ltd. [Reference vaccine] in healthy infants. A minimum of 314 subjects will be enrolled in this study and will receive either study vaccine as per the central computer generated randomization plan. Three doses (0.5 ml each) of the allocated study vaccine will be administered to clinical trial subjects keeping an interval of 4 weeks between successive doses as per the recommended immunization schedule. Two blood samples will be collected; once pre-vaccination (on day 0) & another post-vaccination (day 84; at least 28 days after third dose of the vaccine) to evaluate anti-diphtheria, anti-tetanus, anti-pertussis, anti-HBs and anti-PRP antibody titres. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of test vaccine to the reference vaccine for the proportion of subjects with sero-protective levels of anti-diphtheria, anti-tetanus, anti-pertussis, anti-HBs and anti-PRP antibodies post-vaccination. The sero-protective cut-off titre considered is 0.1 IU/ml for serum anti-diphtheria & anti-tetanus antibodies, 22 U/ml for serum anti-pertussis antibodies, 10 mIU/ml for serum anti-HBs antibodies; and 0.15 mcg/ml (for short-term protection) & 1.0 mcg/ml (for long-term protection) for serum anti-PRP antibodies. In addition, baseline (pre-vaccination) and end of study (post-vaccination) geometric mean titre of the above antibodies will also be calculated for both the study groups. The safety of the vaccine will be assessed by recording the adverse events occurring during the entire course of the study.
