A Study to Compare the Immune Response and Safety Elicited by Henogen's Adjuvanted Hepatitis B Vaccine Compared to GSK Biologicals Adjuvanted Hepatitis B Vaccine in Pre-Dialysis and Dialysis Patients Who Have Not Been Exposed to Hepatitis B.

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Hepatitis B
Registration Number
NCT00291941
Lead Sponsor
Henogen
Brief Summary

The pre-dialysis, peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis patients would benefit from an improved hepatitis B vaccine, which will elicit stronger and faster cellular and humoral immune responses after the primary vaccination course.

Detailed Description

Study participants will receive either Henogen's adjuvanted hepatitis B vaccine or GSK Biologicals' adjuvanted hepatitis B vaccine. The study involves a total of 7 visits and blood samples will taken at each of these visits.

Inclusion Criteria
  • A male or female subject 15 years of age or older at the time of the study entry.
  • Written informed consent obtained from the subject/ from the parent or guardian of the subject.
  • Seronegative for anti-HBs antibodies, anti-HBc antibodies and for HBsAg at screening.
  • Pre-dialysis patients, peritoneal dialysis patients or haemodialysis patients.
  • Non-childbearing potential female
Exclusion Criteria
  • Use of any investigational or non-registered drug or vaccine within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
  • Use of any registered vaccine within 7 days before the first dose of study vaccine.
  • Previous vaccination against hepatitis B (whether or not the subject responded to the vaccine).
  • History of hepatitis B infection.
  • Known exposure to hepatitis B virus within 6 months.
  • Use of immunoglobulins within six months preceding the first study vaccination.
  • Immunosuppression caused by the administration of parenteral steroids or chemotherapy (oral steroids are allowed).
  • Any confirmed or suspected human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
  • A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
  • History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccines.
  • Acute disease at the time of enrolment. Acute disease is defined as the presence of a moderate or severe illness with or without fever. All vaccines can be administered to persons with a minor illness such as diarrhoea, mild upper respiratory infection with or without low-grade febrile illness, i.e. oral/ axillary temperature < 37.5°C (or 37 °C in Czech Republic).
  • Oral/axillary temperature superior or equal to 37.5°C (or 37 °C in Czech Republic).
  • Pregnant or lactating female
