About this study

Official title: A Multicentric, Randomised Study Comparing the Immunogenicity and Safety of Henogen's Adjuvanted Hepatitis B Vaccine Given at 0, 1, 6 Months to That of GSK Biologicals' Adjuvanted Hepatitis B Vaccine Given at 0, 1, 2, 6 Moths in Pre-Dialysis, and Dialysis Patients Who Are Hepatitis B Naive.

The pre-dialysis, peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis patients would benefit from an improved hepatitis B vaccine, which will elicit stronger and faster cellular and humoral immune responses after the primary vaccination course.

Read the detailed description

Study participants will receive either Henogen's adjuvanted hepatitis B vaccine or GSK Biologicals' adjuvanted hepatitis B vaccine. The study involves a total of 7 visits and blood samples will taken at each of these visits.

What is being measured

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

  1. Anti-HBs seroprotection rate at Month 2.

    Measured: Month 0 and 2

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Anti-HBs antibody concentrations

    Measured: Months 0, 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7

  2. Anti-HBs seroprotection rates for all subjects.

    Measured: Months 0, 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7

  3. Anti-HBs seropositivity rates for all subjects

    Measured: Months 0 and 7

  7. Anti-RF-1 like antibody geometric mean concentration in a random subset of 50 subjects per group.

    Measured: Month 0 and 7

  8. Occurrence and intensity of solicited local signs and symptoms, as well as occurrence, intensity and relationship to vaccination of solicited general signs and symptoms during a 4-day follow-up (i.e. Day 0 to Day 3) after each vaccination and overall.

    Measured: Month 0, 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7

  9. Occurrence, intensity and relationship to vaccination of unsolicited symptoms reported during the 31-day (Day 0 to Day 30) follow-up period after each vaccination and overall.

    Measured: Month 0, 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7

  10. Occurrence, intensity and relationship to vaccination of all serious adverse events (SAEs) up to Month 7.

    Measured: Month 0 to 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Henogen HBV vaccine and FENDRIX in people with Hepatitis B, run by Henogen at 24 sites in 3 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 5 inclusion and 13 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 28 Aug 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in Belgium, Czechia, Hungary. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Anti-HBs seroprotection rate at Month 2. (time frame: Month 0 and 2). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 28 Aug 2008.
