Long-Term Immune Persistence of GSK Biologicals' Combined Hepatitis A & B Vaccine Injected According to a 0,6 Month Schedule

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
Interventions
Biological: TWINRIX™ ADULT
Biological: Engerix TM
Registration Number
NCT00289744
Lead Sponsor
GlaxoSmithKline
Brief Summary

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.

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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibody ConcentrationBefore and 1 month after the additional dose administration
Anti-hepatitis A Virus (Anti-HAV) Antibody ConcentrationYears 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
Number of Subjects With Immune Response to the Additional Dose of Engerix™-BOne month after the additional dose administration

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.

Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Assessed by the Investigator as Causally Related to Primary Vaccination, Study Procedures or Lack of Vaccine EfficacyAt Year 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10

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.

Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited Local and General SymptomsDuring the 4-day follow-up period after additional dose

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

Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse EventsDuring the 30-day follow-up period after additional dose

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.

Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)During the 30-day follow-up period after additional dose

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.
