What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Engerix™-BBiological

    A challenge dose of hepatitis B vaccine will be administered to all subjects as a deep intramuscular injection in the deltoid region of the non-dominant arm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With an Immune Response to a Challenge Dose of Hepatitis B Vaccine

    Immune response to a challenge dose of hepatitis B vaccine is defined as

    • at least a 4-fold rise in post-challenge dose anti-HBs antibody concentrations in subjects seropositive (≥ 3.3 mIU/mL) at the previous available long-term time point, or
    • a post-challenge dose anti-HBs antibody concentrations ≥ 10 mIU/mL in subjects seronegative (<3.3 mIU/mL) at the previous available long-term time point.

    Measured: One month after the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Subjects With Anti-HBs Antibody Concentrations Above Pre-defined Cut-off Values

    Anti-hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) antibody cut-off values assessed include 3.3, 10 and 100 mIU/mL.

    Measured: One month after the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose

  2. Concentration of Anti-HBs Antibodies

    Concentrations are given as Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs), calculated on subjects seropositive (subjects with anti-HBs antibody concentrations ≥ 3.3 mIU/mL) post-challenge dose.

    Measured: One month after the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose

  3. Number of Subjects 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 hepatitis B vaccine

  4. Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events

    A serious adverse event 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: During the 31-day follow-up period after the challenge dose of hepatitis B vaccine

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 12 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 21 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 14 Sep 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 Subjects With an Immune Response to a Challenge Dose of Hepatitis B Vaccine (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 NCT00657657, which also lists 2 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 21 Dec 2016.
