Open-Label Study of the Safety and Immunogenicity of HEPLISAV™ Hepatitis B Virus Vaccine

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Hepatitis B
Interventions
Biological: HEPLISAV
Registration Number
NCT00511095
Lead Sponsor
Dynavax Technologies Corporation
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the safety and seroprotective immune response of a new investigational hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine, HEPLISAV™, in subjects 11-55 years old. The primary hypothesis is that HEPLISAV™ is well tolerated.

Detailed Description

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of two injections of HEPLISAV™ in subjects 11 to 55 years old. About 200 subjects will be included in the study. Once subjects have been consented and screened, they will receive a total of two injections over a 28-day period, with follow-up visits at 8, 12 and 28 weeks. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated by occurrence of adverse events, periodic laboratory tests, vital signs, and local/systemic reactogenicity.

Comparison: This study does not include a control treatment; all subjects will receive treatment with HEPLISAV™.
