About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Systems Biology Study to Investigate Immune Correlates of the Response to an Experimental Hepatitis B Vaccine (HEPLISAV) in Healthy Adults 50 to 70 Years of Age.

This study will investigate the response of the immune system to a hepatitis B (HB) vaccine in healthy adults 50 to 70 years of age. This study is partially funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the changes in cellular responses and gene expression patterns in serial blood samples collected from healthy older adults after vaccination with HEPLISAV.

    Measured: Day 1, 3, and 7 and on Day 28

  2. Determine which of these changes correlate with the development of protective levels of antibody (anti-HBs >/= 10 milli-international unit (mIU)/mL) to hepatitis B virus (HBV).

    Measured: Day 1, 3, and 7 and on Day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HEPLISAV in people with Hepatitis B, run by Dynavax Technologies Corporation at 1 site in United States.

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 4 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 Mar 2019. 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 United States. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Evaluate the changes in cellular responses and gene expression patterns in serial blood samples collected from healthy older adults after vaccination with HEPLISAV. (time frame: Day 1, 3, and 7 and on Day 28). The study lists 2 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 Mar 2019.
