About this study

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

The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term persistence of hepatitis A and B antibodies at Years 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 after subjects received their first two doses primary vaccination schedule of combined hepatitis A/hepatitis B vaccine.

This protocol posting deals with objectives \& outcome measures of the extension phase at year 6 through to 10.

The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

Read the detailed description

To evaluate the long-term antibody persistence, volunteers will be bled at Years 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 after the first vaccine dose of the primary vaccination course to determine their anti-HAV and anti-HBs antibody concentrations.

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 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10), he/ she will be offered an additional vaccine dose.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Anti-hepatitis A Virus (Anti-HAV) Antibody Concentration

    Measured: Years 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

  2. Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibody Concentration

    Measured: At Year 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10

  3. Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibody Concentration

    Measured: Before and 1 month after the additional dose administration

  4. Number of Subjects With Immune Response to the Additional Dose of Engerix™-B

    Immune response was defined as:

    • anti-hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) antibody concentration equal or above to 10 milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL) at 1 month post-challenge dose in subjects seronegative at the pre-challenge time-points
    • at least a 4-fold increase in anti-HBs antibody concentrations at 1 month post-challenge dose in subjects seropositive at the pre-challenge time-points.

    Measured: One month after the additional dose administration

  5. Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Assessed by the Investigator as Causally Related to Primary Vaccination, Study Procedures or Lack of Vaccine Efficacy

    Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, is life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.

    Measured: At Year 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10

  6. Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited Local and General Symptoms

    Solicited local symptoms assessed include pain, redness and swelling. Solicited general symptoms assessed include fatigue, fever, gastrointestinal symptoms and headache.

    Measured: During the 4-day follow-up period after additional dose

  7. Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events

    Unsolicited adverse event (AE) covers any AE 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.

    Measured: During the 30-day follow-up period after additional dose

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

    Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, is life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.

    Measured: During the 30-day follow-up period after additional dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing TWINRIX™ ADULT and Engerix TM 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 20 Aug 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: Years 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Aug 2018.
