Comparison of Engerix B Vaccine Versus Sci-B-Vac Vaccine in Celiac Patients

A study testing Hepatitis B vaccination (Sci-B-Vac) and Hepatitis B vaccination (EngerixB) in people with Celiac Disease, run by Shaare Zedek Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

Celiac disease and infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) are very prevalent worldwide and carry a high morbidity rate. It has been recently shown that patients with celiac disease very often fail to develop immunity after standard vaccination for HBV during infancy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Engerix B Versus Sci-B-Vac Immunization in a Celiac Population of Non-responders to Primary Hepatitis B Immunization Series - a Randomized Controlled Trial

Celiac disease and infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) are very prevalent worldwide and carry a high morbidity rate. It has been recently shown that patients with celiac disease very often fail to develop immunity after standard vaccination for HBV during infancy. In this study, we will evaluate whether a second vaccination series with a different vaccine, Sci-B-Vac, results in a better immunological response in celiac patients. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive a 3-dose vaccination series with Engerix or Sci-B-Vac vaccines.. Rate of responders and level of immunity will be compared. This study will facilitate better protection of celiac patients to this potentially deadly virus.

What participants receive

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

  • Hepatitis B vaccination (Sci-B-Vac)Biological

    A dose of 5mcg (0.5 ml) (up to 10yr old) and 10mcg (1.0 ml)(above 10yr old) of the recombinant HBV vaccine will be administered intramuscularly at zero, one and six months intervals

  • Hepatitis B vaccination (EngerixB)Biological

    Also called GSK

    A dose of 10mcg (0.5 ml) of the recombinant HBV vaccine will be administered intramuscularly at zero, one and six months intervals

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of the geometric mean titers of anti-HBs between the Engerix B group and the Sci-B-Vac group

    Measured: two years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Rate of responders four weeks after the completion of the series

    Measured: two years

  2. Rate and characteristics of adverse drug reactions

    Measured: two years

  3. Numerical increase in the antibodies titer before and after vaccination

    Measured: two years

  4. Rate of responders in the cross over phase.

    Measured: two years

  5. Association between the HBsAg-specific cytokine secreting PBMCs by the ELISPOT assay and vaccine response

    Measured: two years

  6. Association between genetic make-up and vaccine response

    Measured: two years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hepatitis B vaccination (Sci-B-Vac) and Hepatitis B vaccination (EngerixB) in people with Celiac Disease, run by Shaare Zedek Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2011. 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 Israel. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Merav Heshin, MD (0508685702, meravheshin@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of the geometric mean titers of anti-HBs between the Engerix B group and the Sci-B-Vac group (time frame: two years). 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 15 Apr 2011.
