Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

A phase IV, randomization, single center, controlled clinical trial to compare the safety, immunogenicity,three-year immune persistence of inactivated hepatitis A vaccine (HAV) with one- or two-dose regimen and live attenuated HAV with one-dose regimen in Chinese young adults, and to evaluate the immunogenicity of a booster dose.

HCV001 is a Phase I study to ascertain the safety and immunogenicity of a novel vaccine against Hepatitis C virus (HCV). The vaccine is based on the sequential delivery, by intramuscular route, of two different adenoviral vectors, of human and chimpanzee origin respectively, bearing the same genetic information for HCV antigens (NS region). The two recombinant vectors, called Ad6NSmut and AdCh3NSmut, are weakened and unable to multiply within the body; they are designed to induce an immune response against HCV proteins. Although Ad6NSmut and AdCh3NSmut have never been given to humans before this trial, promising results have been obtained in non-human studies. The HCV001 study is designed to explore different prime-boost regimes concerning dose, order and interval of administration of Ad6NSmut and AdCh3NSmut.

The purpose of the study is to compare the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of different formulations of adjuvanted recombinant hepatitis B vaccine to that of Engerix™-B when administered at 0, 2 months with a booster at month 12 if necessary

This trial is designed to evaluate the immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of an MPL-adjuvanted recombinant hepatitis B vaccine in comparison with those of Engerix™-B in haemodialysis patients with or without previous vaccination against hepatitis B

The objective of this study is to compare the Safety and Immunogenicity of a mixed sequence of 2 different pentavalent vaccines (Diphtheria-Tetanus- Pertussis, Hepatitis B and Hib combination Vaccines) with single sequence of Shan 5 in infants.

Aims: This prospective trial seeks to investigate the efficacy of a financial incentive in increasing the uptake and completion of the HBV vaccine series among people who inject drugs (PWID). Using a randomised controlled trial design, the investigators will offer the 3 dose, accelerated HBV schedule to eligible PWID allocated to either a standard of care or incentive condition. Participants allocated to the incentive condition will receive a small incentive payment after the second and third dose of the vaccine. It is hypothesized that the proportion of participants who complete the vaccine series in the incentive payment arm will be higher compared to the non-incentive payment arm (standard of care).

Our previous collaborative studies has developed a molecular diagnosis tool, which is characterized with a prediction model consisting single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), for assessing the efficacy of interferon combined therapy for chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients prior to treatment. Aims of this project: To analyze and validate the gene expression profiling dependent of treatment response to peg-interferon-α plus ribavirin combination therapy in CHC genotype-1 patients. To select the candidate genes and establish a monitoring model assessing the efficacy of interferon treatment.

This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' GSK2202083A vaccine co-administered with GSK Biologicals' 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate (GSK1024850A) vaccine given as a three-dose primary vaccination course at 2, 3 and 4 months of age.

The Alcohol Use Reduction in Methadone Individuals with HCV was designed to compare three different types of programs for methadone maintained men and women to determine which of the three programs is most effective for:1) reducing alcohol consumption; 2) improving knowledge of and attitudes toward the disease of hepatitis and the treatment of hepatitis; 3) improving willingness to seek medical care for hepatitis C; 4) completing the 3 sessions on alcohol use reduction; 5) completing the 3 session Hepatitis A and B vaccine; and 6) determining the number of self-reported 12 step alcohol treatment program sessions attended.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the persistence of hepatitis A antibodies at 138, 150, 162, 174,186, 198, 210, 222, 234 and 246 months after subjects received their first dose of a 2 dose vaccination schedule of hepatitis A vaccine. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the extension phase at year 11 to 20. No additional subjects will be recruited during this long-term follow-up.
