About this study

Official title: To Evaluate Immune Response to a Hepatitis B Vaccine (Engerix™-B ) Challenge Dose in Healthy Subjects Who Received GSK Biologicals' Hepatitis B Vaccine (Engerix™-B ) Approximately 20 Years Ago as Primary Vaccination at 0, 1, 2 and 12 Months.

The current study will evaluate immunological memory to hepatitis B antigen in subjects who received primary neonatal vaccination of hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix™-B ), 20 years ago in the primary study and who have anti-HBs antibody concentrations < pre-defined cut-off values at the previous long-term time point. All participating subjects will receive a challenge dose of hepatitis B vaccine. Subjects will be aged approximately 20-21 years at the time of this study. No new subjects will be recruited in this long-term follow-up study. Blood sampling will be done one month after the administration of the challenge dose. 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 Participants With Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibody Concentrations Above Specific Cut-off Values

    The cut-off values assessed include: ≥ 3.3 Milli International Units per Milliliter (mIU/mL), ≥ 10 mIU/mL, and ≥ 100 mIU/mL.

    Measured: One month after the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Occurrence, Intensity and Relationship to Vaccination of Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

    An AE is considered severe if it prevents normal, everyday activities.

    Measured: During the 31-day follow-up period after the challenge dose of hepatitis B vaccine.

  2. Number of Participants Reporting Any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs).

    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: Up to 1 month after the challenge dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Engerix™-B in people with Hepatitis B, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Thailand.

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 6 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 16 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Thailand. 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 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 15 May 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 Participants With Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibody Concentrations Above Specific Cut-off Values (time frame: One month after the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose). 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 NCT00456625, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 16 Dec 2016.
