About this study

Official title: An Open, Phase IV, Single-group, Multicentre Study to Assess the Long-term Persistence of Antibodies Against Hepatitis B and the Immune Response to a Hepatitis B (HBV) Vaccine Challenge in Children Aged 7-8 Years of Age and Previously Vaccinated in Infancy With GSK Biologicals' HBV Vaccine (Engerix™-B).

The purpose of this study is to assess the persistence of immunity to hepatitis B in children who received three consecutive doses of HBV vaccine (EngerixTM-B) in infancy. 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 (HBs) Antibody Concentrations Above the Cut-off Value

    Anti-HBs antibody cut-off value assessed was 100 milli-international unit per milliliter (mIU/mL)

    Measured: One month after the challenge dose of HBV vaccine

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Participants With Anti-HBs Antibody Concentrations Above the Cut-off Value

    Anti-HBs antibody cut-off values assessed include 3.3, 10 and 100 mIU/mL

    Measured: Before challenge dose of HBV vaccine

  2. Number of Participants Reporting Solicited Local Symptoms

    Solicited local symptoms assessed include pain, redness and swelling

    Measured: During the 4-day follow-up period after the challenge dose of HBV vaccine.

  3. Number of Participants Reporting Solicited General Symptoms

    Solicited general symptoms assessed include fatigue, fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, and headache

    Measured: During the 4-day follow-up period after the challenge dose of HBV vaccine.

  4. Number of Participants Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events

    An Adverse Event 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.

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

  5. Number of Participants Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAE)

    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: After the challenge dose of HBV vaccine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Engerix™-B Kinder in people with Hepatitis B Vaccine, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 35 sites in Germany.

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 8 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 17 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 35 sites in Germany. 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 27 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 (HBs) Antibody Concentrations Above the Cut-off Value (time frame: One month after the challenge dose of HBV vaccine). 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 NCT00519649, 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 17 Aug 2018.
