Overview
Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the immune response of healthy subjects who received neonatal vaccination course with GSK Biologicals' Engerix™-B vaccine, approximately 20 years ago. The presence of immune memory against hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in these subjects will be investigated by the administration of a challenge dose of hepatitis B vaccine and the comparison of their antibody concentration before and one month after vaccination.
This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the booster phase. No new subjects will be recruited during this booster phase of the study.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
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 who received the complete neonatal primary vaccination course of Engerix™-B in the 103860/273 primary study approximately 20 years earlier.
- •Anti-HBs antibody concentrations less than the specified value at the last available follow-up time-point.
- •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 vaccination.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine within 30 days preceding the Engerix™-B challenge dose, or planned use during the study period.
- •Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressant or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to challenge dose administration.
- •Planned administration/ administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol starting from 30 days before the challenge dose and ending 30 days after.
- •Administration of a hepatitis B vaccine outside the context of this study between the follow-up time-point at which anti-HBs antibody concentrations was less than the specified value 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.
- •Acute disease at the time of enrolment.
- •Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
- •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 challenge dose visit or planned administration during the study period.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Subjects With an Anamnestic Response to a Challenge Dose of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Vaccine as Measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).
Time Frame: One month after the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose.
Anamnestic response to the challenge dose is defined as: - At least (i.e. greater than or equal to) a 4-fold rise in post-challenge anti-HBsAg antibody concentrations in subjects seropositive at the last available follow-up time-point. -Post-challenge dose anti-HBsAg antibody concentrations \>= 10 mIU/mL in subjects seronegative at the last available follow-up time-point.
Number of Subjects With an Anamnestic Response to a Challenge Dose of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Vaccine as Measured by ChemiLuminescence ImmunoAssay (CLIA).
Time Frame: One month after the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose.
Anamnestic response to the challenge dose is defined as: - At least (i.e. greater than or equal to) a 4-fold rise in post-challenge anti-HBsAg antibody concentrations in subjects seropositive at the last available follow-up time-point. -Post-challenge dose anti-HBsAg antibody concentrations \>= 10 mIU/mL in subjects seronegative at the last available follow-up time-point.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of Subjects With Anti-Hepatitis B Surface (HBs) Antibody Concentrations Above Cut-off Values as Measured by CLIA.(One month after the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose.)
- Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibody Concentration as Measured by ELISA.(One month after the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose.)
- Number of Subjects That Experienced Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)(During the entire study period after the challenge dose (1 month).)
- Number of Subjects With Anti-Hepatitis B Surface (HBs) Antibody Concentrations Above Cut-off Values as Measured by ELISA.(One month after the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose.)
- Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibody Concentration as Measured by CLIA.(One month after the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose.)
- Number of Subjects Experiencing Any, Grade 3 and Related to Vaccination Unsolicited Symptoms.(During the 31-day follow-up period after the hepatitis B vaccine challenge dose.)
