About this study
Official title: An Open Single Centre Study to Evaluate the Long-term Antibody Persistence and Immune Memory Between 16 and 20 Years After the Primary Study HAB-032 (208127/022) in Which Healthy Adults Were Vaccinated With Twinrix Adult Following a Three-dose Schedule.
This study will evaluate the persistence of the immune response to HAV (hepatitis A virus) antigens and HBs (hepatitis B surface) antigens in healthy adults previously vaccinated with Twinrix Adult in the primary study, HAB-032 (208127/022). The subjects will be invited for blood sampling 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 years after the primary vaccination to evaluate the antibody persistence. For subjects in whom low circulating antibodies are detected, the presence of immune memory against hepatitis A \& B antigens will be investigated by the administration of a challenge dose of the appropriate vaccine (Havrix and/or Engerix-B) at the next planned visit.
No new subjects will be recruited during this study.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Blood samplingProcedure or surgery
Blood sampling at Year 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 and at the time of challenge dose administration and 14 days and one month after challenge dose administration (if challenge dose needed).
Engerix-BBiological
Engerix-B will be administered to subjects who are not seroprotected against hepatitis B.
HavrixBiological
Havrix will be administered to subjects who are seronegative for anti-HAV antibodies.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Twinrix Group | Experimental | Subjects who received 2 doses of Twinrix (lot A, B or C) in the primary study.
As lot to lot consistency was assessed during the primary study, the 3 groups (lot A, B or C) were pooled into the Twinrix Group for data analyses during the first long-term follow-up NCT00289718 and this long-term follow-up.
A challenge dose of the Havrix or Engerix-B vaccines can be administered in this study based on serology results at each time point. Receives: Procedure: Blood sampling; Biological: Engerix-B; Biological: Havrix |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Subjects Seropositive for Anti-hepatitis A Virus Antibodies (Anti-HAV) and Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibodies and With Anti-HBs Antibody Concentrations >= 10 Milliinternational Units Per Milliliter (mIU/mL)
Seropositivity for anti-HAV antibodies is defined as antibody concentrations >= 15 milliinternational units per milliliter (mIU/mL). Seropositivity for anti-HBs antibodies is defined as antibody concentrations >= 6.2 mIU/mL.
Measured: At Years 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20.
Anti-HAV and Anti-HBs Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs)
Concentrations were expressed as GMCs in mIU/mL.
Measured: At Years 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20.
Secondary outcomes (8)
Anti-HBs Concentrations After the Challenge Dose of Engerix-B
Concentration was given in mIU/mL.
Only 1 subject was eligible for the challenge dose of Engerix-B at the Year 16 time point. Therefore the values for this subject are given without a measure of dispersion.
Measured: Before, 14 days and one month (30 days) after the challenge dose of Engerix-B.
Anti-HAV Concentrations After the Challenge Dose of Havrix
Concentration was given in mIU/mL. Only 2 subjects were eligible for the challenge dose of Havrix, one at Year 18 and another at Year 20 time point. Therefore the values for these subject are given without a measure of dispersion.
Measured: Before, 14 days and one month (30 days) after the challenge dose of Havrix.
Number of Subjects With Anamnestic Response to the Challenge Dose of Engerix-B
At Year 16 only 1 subject was eligible for the challenge dose of Engerix-B.
Anti-HBs anamnestic response to the challenge dose was defined as:
- Anti-HBs antibody concentrations >= 10 mIU/mL at one month post-challenge dose in subjects seronegative at the pre-challenge time point.
- At least a 4-fold increase in anti-HBs antibody concentrations, at one month post-challenge dose in subjects seropositive at the pre-challenge time point.
Measured: 30 days after the challenge dose of Engerix-B.
Number of Subjects With Anamnestic Response to the Challenge Dose of Havrix
Anti-HAV anamnestic response to the challenge dose was defined as:
- Anti-HAV antibody concentrations ≥ 15 mIU/mL at one month post-challenge dose, in subjects seronegative at the pre-challenge time point.
- At least a 2-fold increase in anti-HAV antibody concentrations one month after the challenge dose, in subjects having anti-HAV antibody concentrations ≥ 100 mIU/mL at the pre-challenge time point.
- Or at least a 4-fold increase in anti-HAV antibody concentrations one month after the challenge dose, in seropositive subjects having anti-HAV antibody concentrations < 100 mIU/mL at the pre-challenge time-point.
Measured: 30 days after the challenge dose of Havrix.
Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)
At Year 16, 1 subject was administered a challenge dose of Engerix-B and at Y18 and Y20, 2 subjects were administered a challenge dose of Havrix.
An AE 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: 31 days (Days 0-30) after the challenge dose of Engerix-B and Havrix.
Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Only 1 subject received a challenge dose at Year 16 of Engerix-B.
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: During the 31-day (Days 0-30) follow-up period after the Engerix-B challenge dose.
Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
One subject received a challenge dose of Havrix at Year 18 and another at Year 20.
Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity.
Measured: During the 31-day (Days 0-30) follow-up period after the Havrix challenge dose.
