What is being measured

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

  1. Antibody Response to Hepatitis A - Participants With a Serological Response

    Number of participants with titer ≥10 mIU/mL, i.e., seropositive for hepatitis A antibody, regardless of initial serostatus

    Measured: 4 weeks Postdose 2 of hepatitis A vaccine (VAQTA™)

  2. Antibody Response to Varicella - Participants With a Serological Response

    Participants with varicella baseline antibody titer <1.25 gpELISA units/mL and Postdose 1 titers ≥1.25 gpELISA units/mL (seroconversion) and ≥5 gpELISA units/mL (seroprotection)

    Injection-site adverse experiences collected the first 5 days after receipt of dose 2 of hepatitis A vaccine (VAQTA™) (Days 1 to 5) within the 4 week study period.

    Measured: 4 weeks post dose 2

  9. Participants With 1 or More Injection-site Adverse Experience

    Injection-site adverse experiences collected the first 5 days after receipt of each dose of hepatitis A vaccine (VAQTA™) (Days 1 to 5) over the 6 months in which the 2 doses of vaccine were administered.

    Measured: 6 months

  10. Participants With Elevated Temperature (≥102.2F/ ≥39.0C)

    Elevated temperatures measured the first 5 days after receipt of dose 1 of hepatitis A vaccine (VAQTA™) (Days 1 to 5) within the 6 week study period.

    Measured: 6 weeks post dose 1

  11. Participants With Elevated Temperature (≥102.2F/ ≥39.0C)

    Elevated temperatures measured the first 5 days after receipt of dose 2 of hepatitis A vaccine (VAQTA™) (Days 1 to 5) within the 4 week study period.

    Measured: 4 weeks post dose 2

  12. Participants With Elevated Temperature (≥102.2F/ ≥39.0C)

    Elevated temperatures measured the first 5 days after receipt of each dose of hepatitis A vaccine (VAQTA™) (Days 1 to 5) over the 6 months in which the 2 doses of vaccine were administered.

    Measured: 6 months

  13. Participants With 1 or More Serious Vaccine-related Adverse Experience

    Serious vaccine-related adverse experience causes death, persistent or significant disability, causes or prolong a hospital stay, is a cancer, an overdose, or life-threatening. They were collected during the entire study and believed due to study vaccine

    Measured: 6 weeks post dose 1

  14. Participants With 1 or More Serious Vaccine-related Adverse Experience

    Serious vaccine-related adverse experience causes death, persistent or significant disability, causes or prolong a hospital stay, is a cancer, an overdose, or life-threatening. They were collected during the entire study and believed due to study vaccine

    Measured: 4 weeks post dose 2

  15. Participants With 1 or More Serious Vaccine-related Adverse Experience

    Serious vaccine-related adverse experience causes death, persistent or significant disability, causes or prolong a hospital stay, is a cancer, an overdose, or life-threatening. They were collected during the entire study and believed due to study vaccine

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Comparator: VAQTA™ (Hepatitis A vaccine), Comparator: ProQuad™ (Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella vaccine) and Comparator: Prevnar™ (Pneumococcal 7-Valent Conjugate vaccine) in people with Hepatitis A Virus, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 4 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 13 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 3 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?

Antibody Response to Hepatitis A - Participants With a Serological Response (time frame: 4 weeks Postdose 2 of hepatitis A vaccine (VAQTA™)). The study lists 15 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 NCT00312858, 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 13 Apr 2017.
