About this study

Official title: Persistence of Hepatitis B Antibodies, Immunogenicity and Safety of GSK Biologicals' Hepatitis B Vaccine Engerix™-B Kinder (SKF103860) Challenge Dose in Adolescents Vaccinated With Four Doses of Infanrix™ Hexa (SB217744) During Infancy

The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term persistence of immunity to hepatitis B in adolescents aged 12-13 years who were vaccinated with four doses of Infanrix™-Hexa in infancy and to assess the anamnestic response, immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of a single challenge dose of the hepatitis B vaccine Engerix™-B Kinder.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Engerix-B Kinder GroupExperimentalSubjects who were previously primed and boosted with four doses of Infanrix™ hexa in the first two years of life, received a single dose of Engerix™-B Kinder vaccine. The vaccine was administered intramuscularly into the deltoid of the non-dominant arm.
Receives: Biological: Engerix™-B Kinder

What is being measured

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

  1. Anti-HBs Immune Response

    Anti-HBs immune response was defined as the number of subjects with Anti-HBs antibody concentrations ≥ 100 mIU/ml.

    Measured: One month after the single challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine (Month 1)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Anti-HBs Antibody Concentrations at 12-13 Years of Age, After Previous Vaccination With Infanrix Hexa.

    Concentrations were expressed as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) for the seropositivity cut-off of 6.2 mIU/ml.

    Measured: Before (PRE) and 1 month after (POST) the single challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine.

  2. Number of Subjects With Anti-HBs Antibody Concentrations ≥ 6.2 mIU/ml, ≥ 10 mIU/ml, 10 to < 100 mIU/ml and ≥ 100 mIU/ml.

    A seropositive subject was defined as a subject with anti-HBs antibody concentrations ≥ 6.2 milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/ml). A seroprotected subjects was defined as a subject with anti-HBs antibody concentrations ≥ 10 mIU/ml.

    Measured: Before the single challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine.

  3. Number of Subjects With Anti-HBs Antibody Concentrations ≥ 6.2 mIU/ml and ≥ 10 mIU/ml.

    A seropositive subject was defined as a subject with anti-HBs antibody concentrations ≥ 6.2 mIU/ml. A seroprotected subjects was defined as a subject with anti-HBs antibody concentrations ≥ 10 mIU/ml.

    Measured: 1 month after the single challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine.

  4. Number of Subjects With an Anamnestic Response to the Single Challenge Dose of Engerix-B Kinder Vaccine.

    The amnestic response to the challenge dose was defined as: for initially seronegative subjects, antibody concentration ≥ 10mIU/mL; for initially seropositive subjects, antibody concentration at least four times the pre-challenge antibody concentration.

    Measured: One month after the single challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine.

  5. Number of Subjects With Any Solicited Local Symptoms.

    Assessed solicited local symptoms were pain, redness and swelling. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade.

    Measured: During the 4-day (Day 0-3) follow-up period after the single challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine.

  6. Number of Subjects With Any Solicited General Symptoms.

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were fatigue, gastrointestinal, headache and temperature [defined as axillary temperature equal to oe above 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)]. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade.

    Measured: During the 4-day (Day 0-3) follow-up period after the single challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine.

  7. Number of Subjects With Any Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs).

    An unsolicited AE covers 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 and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.

    Measured: During the 31-day (Day 0-30) follow-up period after the single challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine.

  8. Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs).

    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: From Month 0 to Month 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Engerix™-B Kinder in people with Hepatitis B, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 11 sites in Germany.

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 12 inclusion and 22 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 6 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in Germany. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Aug 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Immune Response (time frame: One month after the single challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine (Month 1)). 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 6 Jun 2018.
