Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Hepatitis B
Interventions
Biological: Engerix™-B
Registration Number
NCT00657657
Lead Sponsor
GlaxoSmithKline
Brief Summary

In this study, subjects who received primary neonatal vaccination with hepatitis B vaccine at 0, 1, 2, 12 months, 20 years ago in the 103860/272 primary study will be evaluated for immunological memory to hepatitis B vaccine via assessment of the response to a vaccine challenge dose.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Subjects who the investigator believes that they can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol should be enrolled in the study.
  • A male or female adult who received the complete neonatal primary vaccination course of hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix™-B), in the 103860/272 primary study approximately 20 years earlier.
  • Documented level of anti-HBs antibody concentrations < 100 milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/ml) at the previous long-term time-point for which serological results are available for that subject.
  • Written informed consent obtained from the subject.
  • Healthy subjects as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.
  • If the subject is female, she must be of non-childbearing potential or if she is of childbearing potential, she must practice adequate contraception for 30 days prior to vaccination, have a negative pregnancy test and continue such precautions for 2 months after completion of the hepatitis B challenge dose.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine(s) within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
  • Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose.
  • Planned administration/ administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol during the period starting from 30 days before the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose and ending 30 days after.
  • Subjects who received a booster dose of hepatitis B vaccine outside the context of this study between the long-term time-point at the documented level of anti-HBs antibody concentrations and the current challenge dose study visit.
  • Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational product.
  • History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine.
  • Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
  • Acute disease at the time of enrolment.
  • Acute or chronic, clinically significant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic or renal functional abnormality, as determined by physical examination or laboratory screening tests.
  • Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the three months preceding the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose or planned administration during the study period.
  • Pregnant or lactating female.
  • Female planning to become pregnant or planning to discontinue contraceptive precautions.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Subjects With an Immune Response to a Challenge Dose of Hepatitis B VaccineOne month after the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose

Immune response to a challenge dose of hepatitis B vaccine is defined as

* at least a 4-fold rise in post-challenge dose anti-HBs antibody concentrations in subjects seropositive (≥ 3.3 mIU/mL) at the previous available long-term time point, or

* a post-challenge dose anti-HBs antibody concentrations ≥ 10 mIU/mL in subjects seronegative (\<3.3 mIU/mL) at the previous available long-term time point.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Subjects With Anti-HBs Antibody Concentrations Above Pre-defined Cut-off ValuesOne month after the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose

Anti-hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) antibody cut-off values assessed include 3.3, 10 and 100 mIU/mL.

Concentration of Anti-HBs AntibodiesOne month after the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose

Concentrations are given as Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs), calculated on subjects seropositive (subjects with anti-HBs antibody concentrations ≥ 3.3 mIU/mL) post-challenge dose.

Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse EventsDuring the 31-day follow-up period after the challenge dose of hepatitis B vaccine

An adverse event 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.

Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse EventsDuring the 31-day follow-up period after the challenge dose of hepatitis B vaccine

A serious adverse event 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.
