About this study

Official title: Evaluate the Effect of Risk Factors That Influence the Immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' Twinrix Compared to Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B Vaccines Given Separately and to Show the Non-inferiority Between the Vaccines in Adults

This protocol posting describes the booster phase of the study. The objectives \& outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00289731).

Read the detailed description

All subjects will receive a dose of the vaccine that they received in the primary study (100382), approximately 4 years after the first dose. Blood samples will be taken before and after the administration of the vaccine dose to evaluate the anti-HAV and anti-HBs antibody response.

Being tested
Twinrix, Engerix-B, Havrix, HBVAXPRO, Vaqta
Keywords
combined hepatitis A and B vaccine, risk factors
Medical subject headings
Hepatitis B, Hepatitis A

What is being measured

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

  1. Anti-HAV immune response to the challenge dose

  2. Anti-HBs antibody response to the challenge dose

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percentage of subjects with anti-HAV antibody titres ≥ 15 mIU/ml and GMTs calculated on seropositive subjects

    Measured: Two weeks and one month after the challenge dose

  2. Percentage of subjects with anti-HBs antibody titres ≥ 3.3 mIU/ml, ≥ 10 mIU/ml, ≥ 100 mIU/ml and anti-HBs GMTs calculated on seropositive subjects

    Measured: Two weeks and one month after the challenge dose

  3. Occurrence and intensity of solicited local symptoms

    Measured: In the 4-day follow-up period after the challenge dose

  4. Occurrence, intensity and relationship of solicited general symptoms

    Measured: In the 4-day follow-up period after the challenge dose

  5. Occurrence, intensity and relationship to vaccination of unsolicited symptoms reported

    Measured: During the 31-day follow-up period after the challenge dose

  6. Occurrence of all serious adverse events (SAEs) reported

    Measured: Following the administration of the challenge dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Twinrix, Engerix-B and Havrix in people with Hepatitis B and Hepatitis A, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 8 sites in 2 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 14 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Germany, Belgium. 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?

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-HAV immune response to the challenge dose. The study lists 2 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 NCT00603252, 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 14 Mar 2017.
