Trial summary

Patients with chronic renal disease have to be vaccinated as soon as dialysis is forestalled and this could improve seroconversion rate of hepatitis B vaccination. In this study, the investigators aimed to compare seroconversion rates and immune response rates using four doses of 40 μg and three doses of 20 μg of… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Two Schedules of Hepatitis B Vaccination in Predialysis Chronic Renal Failure Patients

Patients with chronic renal disease have to be vaccinated as soon as dialysis is forestalled and this could improve seroconversion rate of hepatitis B vaccination.

In this study, the investigators aimed to compare seroconversion rates and immune response rates using four doses of 40 μg and three doses of 20 μg of Euvax B recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) vaccine given to predialysis CKD patients.

Read the detailed description

In an open, randomized clinical trial, the investigators compared seroconversion rates in 51 predialysis patients with mild and moderate chronic renal failure using either 40 μg 4 doses or 20 μg 3 doses of Euvax B recombinant hepatitis B vaccine administered at 0, 1, 2, 6 and 0, 1, 6 months respectively.

Conditions

Being tested
four doses of Euvax B vaccine, 20 μg (1 ml) three doses of Euvax B vaccine

What is being measured

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

  1. Hepatitis B surface antibody mIU/ml

    Anti-HBs titres less than 10 mIU/ml were defined as non-seroconversion or non-responder. Anti-HBs titres greater than or equal to 10 mIU/ml but less than 100 mIU/ml were defined as seroconversion with low level antibody. Anti- HBs titres greater than or equal to100 mIU/ml were defined as seroconversion with protective levels of hepatitis B antibody.

    Measured: 8-10 weeks after the 6-month dose of vaccine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing four doses of Euvax B vaccine and 20 μg (1 ml) three doses of Euvax B vaccine in people with Renal Failure, run by Tehran University of Medical Sciences.

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 5 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 9 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Hepatitis B surface antibody mIU/ml (time frame: 8-10 weeks after the 6-month dose of vaccine). 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 9 Nov 2011.
