Trial summary

The aims of this study are to determine: 1. the degree of immunity against hepatitis B, 2. factors associated with immunity against hepatitis B, 3. if the amount of antigen provided in a booster dose (used to measure the degree of immune memory) affects the body's response to the booster, and 4.

About this study

Official title: Project to Evaluate Hepatitis B Vaccine-induced Immunity Among US-born Adolescents Who Received Hepatitis B Primary Vaccination Series During Early Childhood

The aims of this study are to determine:

  1. the degree of immunity against hepatitis B,
  2. factors associated with immunity against hepatitis B,
  3. if the amount of antigen provided in a booster dose (used to measure the degree of immune memory) affects the body's response to the booster, and
  4. if the age at which the vaccination was initiated during infancy affects duration of protection against hepatitis B among adolescents 16-19 years of age born in the United States who were immunized against hepatitis B as infants. These data will be important to evaluate the potential need for a possible booster dose of hepatitis B vaccine among adolescents.

Study subjects eligible for enrollment will:

  • have blood drawn for baseline serologies
  • receive the hepatitis B booster dose (randomly determined to be either a 10 ug or 20 ug dose)
  • have blood drawn again 14 days later to determine if the booster dose has engendered an anamnestic response (a response attributed to prior immunity rather than a new response to the vaccine)

The primary hypothesis is that the majority of young people will exhibit immune memory for hepatitis B in response to a booster dose of vaccine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing hepatitis B vaccine in people with Hepatitis B, run by Baylor College of Medicine at 2 sites in United States.

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 10 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 25 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 2 sites in United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Amy B Middleman, MD (832-822-3664, amym@bcm.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

anti-HBSAg titers (time frame: 13-15 days after enrollment and booster 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 NCT01341275, 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 25 Apr 2011.
