What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence of Serious adverse experiences (SAE)

    Measured: During the study period

  2. Occurrence, intensity and relationship to vaccination of solicited local and general symptoms

    Measured: During the 8-day follow-up period after vaccination

  3. Occurrence, intensity and causal relationship of unsolicited adverse events

    Measured: 31-day follow-up period after vaccination

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Anti-HBs antibody concentrations

    Measured: At months 1, 2, 6, and 7

  2. Cell mediated immunity

    Measured: At months 1, 6, and 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing HBV-MPL vaccine Formulation A, HBV-MPL vaccine Formulation B and Engerix™-B in people with Hepatitis B, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 14 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 Jun 2008. 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 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 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 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?

Occurrence of Serious adverse experiences (SAE) (time frame: During the study period). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 Jun 2008.
