Trial summary

Uptake, adherence, and completion of vaccination among drug users were low, and their immune function and immune response to hepatitis B vaccination were also suboptimal, indicating that the current practice of hepatitis B vaccination can't protect drug users from HBV infection.

About this study

Official title: Immunogenicity and Safety of High-dose Hepatitis B Vaccine Among Drug Users: a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Uptake, adherence, and completion of vaccination among drug users were low, and their immune function and immune response to hepatitis B vaccination were also suboptimal, indicating that the current practice of hepatitis B vaccination can't protect drug users from HBV infection.

This is a randomized, open-label, blank-controlled trial, conducted among drug users with drug rehabilitation. This study will compare the immunogenicity and safety of three intramuscular 20µg and 60µg recombinant hepatitis B vaccines at months 0, 1, and 6 among drug users

Read the detailed description

Comparison of 2 vaccination strategy against Hepatitis B in Drug Users

Intervention:

Arm 1 : Receive three intramuscular injections of 60 µg recombinant hepatitis B vaccine at months 0, 1 and 6;

Arm 2 : Receive three intramuscular injections of 20 µg recombinant hepatitis B vaccine at months 0, 1 and 6;

Arm 3 : Receive no vaccination during the study period.

Being tested
60 µg dose hepatitis B vaccine, 20 µg dose hepatitis B vaccine

What is being measured

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

  1. Number and Rate of Participants With Anti-HBs Seroconversion at Month 7

    The measurements of anti-HBs antibodies were determined quantitatively by CMIA(Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay). The accepted protective serum anti-HBs level was ≥10 mIU/ml.

    Measured: Month 7

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Anti-HBs Concentration at Month 7

    The measurements of anti-HBs antibodies were determined quantitatively by CMIA(Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay).

    Measured: Month 7

  2. Anti-HBs Concentration at Month 12

    The measurements of anti-HBs antibodies were determined quantitatively by CMIA(Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay).

    Measured: Month 12

  3. Number and Rate of Participants With Anti-HBs Seroconversion at Month 12

    The measurements of anti-HBs antibodies were determined quantitatively by CMIA(Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay).

    The accepted protective serum anti-HBs level was ≥10 mIU/ml.

    Measured: Month 12

  4. Occurrence of Adverse Events After Vaccination

    Occurrence of adverse reactions within 7 days after vaccination with the hepatitis B

    Measured: Within 7 days after the vaccination, at Month 0, 1, and 6

  5. Occurrence of Adverse Events After Vaccination

    Occurrence of adverse reactions within 28 days after vaccination with the hepatitis B

    Measured: Within 28 days after the vaccination, at Month 0, 1, and 6

  6. Serious Adverse Events (SAE) Occurred During Month 12

    Measured: Month 0-12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing 60 µg dose hepatitis B vaccine and 20 µg dose hepatitis B vaccine in people with Hepatitis B Vaccination, run by Shanxi Medical University.

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 6 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 18 Feb 2022. 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.

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 18 Feb 2022). 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?

Number and Rate of Participants With Anti-HBs Seroconversion at Month 7 (time frame: Month 7). 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 NCT02959775, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Feb 2022.
