About this study

Official title: Evaluate Persistence of Immune Response of GSK Biologicals' TWINRIX™ Vaccine Administered According to 0,6 Month Schedule Versus TWINRIX™ JUNIOR Administered According to 0,1,6 Month Schedule, in Subjects Aged 12-15 Years at Time of First Vaccine Dose

To evaluate the persistence of anti-hepatitis A virus (anti-HAV) and anti-hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) antibodies up to 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 years after administration of the first dose of the study vaccine.

Read the detailed description

Open, randomized, long-term antibody persistence studies. Immune persistence was compared between subjects who received one of the two formulations of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' combined hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccine according to a two-dose or three-dose schedule. These long-term follow-up studies involved taking blood samples at approximately 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 years after the primary vaccination of combined hepatitis A and B vaccine, to assess antibody persistence and a retrospective safety follow-up.

The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Subjects With Anti-hepatitis A Virus (HAV) Antibody Concentrations Above the Cut-off Value

    Anti-HAV antibody concentration cut-off value assessed was ≥ 15 milli-International Units per milliliter (mIU/mL).

    Measured: Year 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 after the first vaccine dose of a two-dose or three-dose primary vaccination

  2. Number of Subjects With Anti-Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBs) Antibody Concentrations Above the Cut-Off Value

    Anti-HBs antibody concentration cut-off value assessed was ≥ 3.3 mIU/mL.

    Measured: Year 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 after the first vaccine dose of a two-dose or three-dose primary vaccination

  3. Serious Adverse Events (SAE) Causally Related to Primary Vaccination or Related to Hepatitis A or B Infection or Related to Study Participation (Blood Sampling)

    An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that:

    results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/ incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject, or may evolve into one of the outcomes listed above.

    Measured: From Year 6 through to Year 10

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Twinrix™ Adult and Twinrix™ Junior in people with Hepatitis B and Hepatitis A, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Belgium, Czechia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Aug 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Subjects With Anti-hepatitis A Virus (HAV) Antibody Concentrations Above the Cut-off Value (time frame: Year 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 after the first vaccine dose of a two-dose or three-dose primary vaccination). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00197119, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Apr 2017.
