Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term persistence of immunity to hepatitis B in adolescents aged 15-16 years who were vaccinated with Engerix™-B Kinder in infancy. The study will also assess the immune response to a challenge dose of Engerix™-B Kinder in these subjects.

Detailed Description

This MDD has been updated following the Protocol Amendment 1, dated 20 June 2013.

The Protocol was amended because GSK replaced its in-house Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) that was used to measure anti-HBs (antibodies to Hepatitis B surface antigen) antibody concentrations with ChemiLuminescence ImmunoAssay (CLIA).

Additionally, the threshold level of prednisone was modified to reflect the dosage normally prescribed to adolescents.

Inclusion Criteria

  • •Subject's parent(s)/guardians who, in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply, with the requirements of the protocol.
  • •A male or female between, and including, 15 and 16 years of age at the time of the vaccination.
  • •Written informed consent obtained from the parent(s)/LAR(s) of the subject.
  • •Written informed assent obtained from the subject in addition to the informed consent signed by the parent(s)/LAR(s).
  • •Healthy subjects as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.
  • •Documented evidence of previous vaccination with three consecutive doses of Engerix™-B Kinder in Germany: with the first two doses received by 9 months of age and the third dose received by 18 months of age.
  • •Female subjects of non-childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study.
  • •Non-childbearing potential is defined as pre-menarche, current tubal ligation, hysterectomy, ovariectomy or post-menopause.
  • •Female subjects of childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study, if the subject:
  • •has practiced adequate contraception for 30 days prior to vaccination, and
  • •has a negative pregnancy test on the day of vaccination, and
  • •has agreed to continue adequate contraception during the entire treatment period and for 2 months after completion of the vaccination.

Exclusion Criteria

  • •Child in care.
  • •Use of any investigational or non-registered product other than the study vaccine within 30 days preceding the dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
  • •Chronic administration of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the vaccine dose. For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone ≥ 20 mg/day, or equivalent. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.
  • •Previous hepatitis B vaccination since administration of the third dose of Engerix™-B Kinder.
  • •History of hepatitis B disease.
  • •Administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol within the period starting 30 days before study vaccine dose, or planned administration during the study period.
  • •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 vaccine/product.
  • •History of any reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine.
  • •Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history and physical examination.
  • •Acute disease and/or fever at the time of enrollment.
  • •Fever is defined as temperature ≥ 37.5°C for oral, axillary or tympanic route, or ≥ 38.0°C on rectal route. The preferred route for recording temperature in this study will be axillary.
  • •Subjects with a minor illness without fever may be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator.
  • •Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the 3 months preceding the study vaccine dose or planned administration during the study period.
  • •Pregnant or lactating female.
  • •Female planning to become pregnant or planning to discontinue contraceptive precautions.

Arms & Interventions

HBV Group

Experimental

Subjects received a single dose of Engerix™-B Kinder vaccine (HBV). The vaccine was administered intramuscularly in the deltoid region of the non-dominant arm.

Intervention: Engerix™-B Kinder (Biological)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Subjects With Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibody Concentrations Equal to or Above the Cut Off Value.

Time Frame: One month after the challenge dose (Month 1)

The cut-off value was defined as 100 milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL).

Secondary Outcomes

  • Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs).(During the 31-day (Days 0-30) follow-up period after the challenge dose)
  • Number of Subjects With Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibody Concentrations Equal to or Above the Cut Off Value.(Before (Day 0) and one month after the challenge dose (Month 1))
  • Antibody Titers Against Hepatitis B Virus(Before (Day 0) and one month (Month 1) after the challenge dose)
  • Number of Subjects With an Anamnestic Response to the Challenge Dose in Relation to Their Pre Vaccination Status.(Prior to vaccination with the challenge dose)
  • Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms.(During the 4-day (Days 0-3) follow-up period after the challenge dose)
  • Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms.(During the 4-day (Days 0-3) follow-up period after the challenge dose)
  • Number of Subjects Reporting Any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs).(During the entire study period (Day 0 to Month 1))
