What is being measured

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

  1. Anti-HBs antibody concentrations

    Measured: After two doses and after the booster dose

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Occurrence and intensity of local and general solicited symptoms

    Measured: 8 days after vaccination

  2. Anti-HBs antibody concentrations

    Measured: Screening, M1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13

  3. Occurrence of unsolicited adverse events

    Measured: 30-day after vaccination

  4. Occurrence of serious adverse events

    Measured: During the study period and 30 days after the last vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing HBsAg formulated with different concentrations of MPL and Aluminium Salts and Engerix™-B in people with Hepatitis B, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Austria.

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 Austria. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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-HBs antibody concentrations (time frame: After two doses and after the booster dose). 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.
