Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if a new investigational hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine, HEPLISAV™, is safe and effective for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Two dose levels will be studied: a single dose and a double dose. We expect both dose levels to safely immunize patients against HBV. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Single-Blind, Randomized Study of Safety and Immunogenicity Following Vaccination With Single or Double Doses of HEPLISAV™ in Adults With End-Stage Renal Disease

The purpose of this study is to find out if a new investigational hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine, HEPLISAV™, is safe and effective for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Two dose levels will be studied: a single dose and a double dose. We expect both dose levels to safely immunize patients against HBV. The study will determine which dose does this best.

Read the detailed description

Infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major global health problem. Worldwide, it is estimated that 2 billion people have been infected previously and 350 million are chronically infected. While acute HBV infection is associated with significant illness, the risk of chronic infection is of great importance since 5-10% of infected adults will not clear the infection after the initial phase of the illness. About 25% of people who do not initially clear the infection will later develop chronic active hepatitis.

This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of HEPLISAV™ when administered to adults who have end-stage renal disease (glomerular filtration rate [GFR] ≤ 45 mL/min). Once subjects have been consented, screened, and randomized to treatment, subjects will receive a total of three injections over a 24-week period, with follow-up visits at 28 and 50 weeks. Subjects will receive 1 of the following 2 regimens:

  • HEPLISAV™ single dose at Day 0, 4 weeks (1 month) and 24 weeks (6 months)
  • HEPLISAV™ double dose at Day 0, 4 weeks (1 month) and 24 weeks (6 months)

Safety and tolerability will be evaluated by occurrence of adverse events, periodic laboratory tests, vital signs, and local and systemic reactogenicity.

Immunogenicity will be evaluated by the proportion of subjects exhibiting a seroprotective immune response (anti-hepatitis B surface antigen antibodies [anti-HBsAg] ≥ 10 milli-international unit (mIU)/mL) at Weeks 4, 12, 24, 28 and 50.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 1018 ISS-HBsAg-Single and 1018 ISS-HBsAg-Double in people with Hepatitis B, run by Dynavax Technologies Corporation at 3 sites in Canada.

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 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Canada. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Voluntary halt due to an FDA Clinical Hold issued in relation to DV2-HBV-10.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Occurrence of adverse events and local and systemic reaction rates (time frame: 28 weeks). 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 26 Mar 2019.
