About this study

Official title: Long-Term Persistence Follow-up Study to Evaluate the Immune Persistence of GSK Biologicals' Combined Hepatitis A / Hepatitis B Vaccine in Healthy Adult Volunteers

This protocol posting deals with objectives \& outcome measures of the extension phase at year 11 to 15.

Read the detailed description

This is a long-term follow-up study at Years 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 after primary vaccination with GSK Biologicals' hepatitis A/hepatitis B vaccine (three-dose schedule, 3 different lots). To evaluate the long-term antibody persistence, volunteers will be bled at Years 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 after the first vaccine dose of the primary vaccination course to determine their anti-HAV and anti-HBs antibody concentrations.

No additional subjects will be recruited during the course of this long-term study.

If a subject has become seronegative for anti-HAV antibodies or lost anti-HBs seroprotection concentrations at the long-term blood sampling time point (i.e. Years 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15), he/ she will be offered an additional vaccine dose.

Receives: Biological: Twinrix™ adult

What is being measured

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

Anti-hepatitis A Virus (Anti-HAV) Antibody Concentration
Concentrations given as geometric mean concentration (GMC) expressed as milli-international unit per millilitre (mIU/mL).
Measured: At Years 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 after the first vaccine dose of the 3-dose primary vaccination
Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms.
Solicited local symptoms assessed include pain, redness and swelling. Any was defined as occurrence of the specified solicited local symptom regardless of its intensity. Grade 3 pain was defined as pain that prevented normal everyday activities. Grade 3 swelling was greater than 100 millimeters (mm) i.e. >100mm.
Measured: During the 4-day (Day 0-3) follow-up period after additional HBV vaccination
Number of Subjects Seropositive for Anti-HAV Antibodies
A seropositive subject was defined as a vaccinated subject who had a anti-HAV antibody titres ≥ 33 mIU/ml.
Measured: At Years 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 after the first vaccine dose of the 3-dose primary vaccination
Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibody Concentration
Concentrations given as GMC expressed as mIU/mL. NOTE: There was a change of assay kit at Year 15 time-point, thus for the sake of bridging, blood samples corresponding to Year 14 were re-tested with ChemiLuminescence ImmunoAssay (CLIA). From Year 11 to Year 14, anti-HBs antibody concentrations were tested with ELISA with cut-off of 3.3 mIU/mL while, Year 14* onwards, anti-HBs antibody concentrations were tested with the CLIA with cut-off of 6.2 mIU/mL.
Measured: At Years 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 after the first vaccine dose of the 3-dose primary vaccination
Number of Subjects Seropositive for Anti-HB Antibodies
A seropositive subject was defined as a vaccinated subject who had anti-HB antibody titres ≥ 1 mIU/mL.
NOTE: There was a change of assay kit at Year 15 time-point, thus for the sake of bridging, blood samples corresponding to Year 14 were re-tested with ChemiLuminescence ImmunoAssay (CLIA)
Measured: At Years 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 after the first vaccine dose of the 3-dose primary vaccination

NOTE: There was a change of assay kit at Year 15 time-point, thus for the sake of bridging, blood samples corresponding to Year 14 were re-tested with ChemiLuminescence ImmunoAssay (CLIA)
Measured: At Years 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 after the first vaccine dose of the 3-dose primary vaccination
Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAE)
A SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that: resulted in death, was life threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, resulted in disability/incapacity or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination and related was an event assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.
Measured: During the follow-up period after additional vaccination (minimum 30 days)
Anti-Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibody Concentration
Concentrations given as GMC expressed as mIU/mL. If a subject became seronegative (< 10 mIU/mL) at any of the long-term blood sampling timepoint, he/she was offered an additional vaccine dose.
Measured: Before the additional dose and 1 month after the additional dose
Number of Subjects Reporting Any Solicited General Symptoms.
Solicited general symptoms assessed included fatigue, headache, malaise, nausea, vomiting and fever. Any was defined as any solicited general symptom reported irrespective of intensity and relationship to vaccination.
Measured: During the 4-day (Day 0-3) follow-up period after additional HBV vaccination
Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events (AE)
An AE is 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.
Measured: During the 30-day follow-up period after additional vaccination
Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
A SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that: resulted in death, was life threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, resulted in disability/incapacity or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Twinrix™ adult in people with Hepatitis B and Hepatitis A, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Belgium.

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 2 inclusion and 0 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 15 Feb 2018. 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 Belgium. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 26 Aug 2010). 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-hepatitis A Virus (Anti-HAV) Antibody Concentration (time frame: At Years 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 after the first vaccine dose of the 3-dose primary vaccination). The study lists 11 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00289718, which also lists 3 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 15 Feb 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
