About this study

Official title: Double-blind, Randomized Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity and Reactogenicity of Three Different Lots of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' Inactivated Hepatitis A Vaccine Containing 1440 EL.U of Antigen Per mL and Injected According to a 0, 6 Month Schedule in Healthy Adult Subjects

The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term persistence of hepatitis A antibodies at 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 years after subjects received their first dose of a 2 dose vaccination schedule of hepatitis A vaccine.

Read the detailed description

This is a long-term follow-up study at Years 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 after primary vaccination with GSK Biologicals' hepatitis A vaccine (two-dose schedule). To evaluate the long-term antibody persistence, volunteers will donate a blood sample at Years 11, 12, 13, 14,15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 after the first vaccine dose of the primary vaccination course to determine their anti-hepatitis A (anti-HAV) antibody concentrations If a subject has become seronegative for anti-HAV antibodies during any of the long-term blood sampling time point (i.e. Years 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 years), he/ she will be offered an additional vaccine dose. A blood sample will be taken on the day of the additional vaccination, 14 days and one month after additional vaccination to evaluate the immune response following this vaccination.

The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007 and to include an extended follow up period up to Year 20 after primary vaccination.

The study has 10 phases (100576, 100577, 100578, 100579, 100580, 111028, 111029, 111030, 111031, 111032).

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

    Concentrations given as geometric mean concentration (GMC) expressed as milli-international unit per millilitre (mIU/mL).

    The laboratory assay was changed at Year 11, thus the blood samples were with both the old and the new assay for the sake of bridging.

    Measured: At Years 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 after the first vaccine dose of the 2-dose primary vaccination

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

    Concentrations given as GMC expressed as mIU/mL.

    Measured: Before the additional dose, 14 days and 30 days after the additional dose

  3. Number of Seropositive Subjects for Anti-HAV Antibodies.

    Seropositivity for anti-HAV antibodies defined as antibody concentrations ≥ 15 mIU/mL for Year 11 to Year 20 time points.

    The laboratory assay was changed at Year 11, thus the blood samples were with both the old and the new assay for the sake of bridging.

    Measured: From Year 11 to Year 20

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAE) Assessed by the Investigators as Related to Vaccination or to Study Procedures or Lack of Efficacy

    An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that: results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject, or may evolve into one of the outcomes listed above

    Measured: Years 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 after the first vaccine dose of the 2-dose primary vaccination

  2. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms

    Solicited local symptoms assessed include pain, redness and swelling. Grade 3 pain = symptom that prevented normal activities. Grade 3 redness and swelling = redness or swelling above 30 mm and persisting more than 24 hours.

    Any = incidence of a particular symptom regardless of intensity.

    Measured: During the 4-day (Day 0-3) follow-up period after additional vaccination

  3. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms

    Solicited general symptoms assessed included fatigue, fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, and headache.

    Measured: During the 4-day (Day 0-3) follow-up period after additional vaccination

  4. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related 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. Grade AE = produced significant impairment of functioning or incapacitation and was a definite hazard to the subject's health.

    Related AE = assessed by the investigator as related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: During the 30-day follow-up period after additional vaccination (for subjects who received the additional vaccine dose between Year 11 and 15)

  5. Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAE)

    An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that: results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject, or may evolve into one of the outcomes listed above.

    Measured: During the follow-up period after additional vaccination up to Year 20

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Havrix™ in people with 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 23 Jul 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 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 4 Mar 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, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 after the first vaccine dose of the 2-dose primary vaccination). The study lists 3 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 NCT00289757, which also lists 10 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 23 Jul 2018.
