Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

This study will be conducted in two stages. In the diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTP) booster phase, subjects will receive a booster dose of Tritanrix-HepB/Hib-MenAC or Tritanrix-HepB/Hiberix (active control) at 15 to 18 or 24 months in a single-blind manner so that the subjects' parents will not know which vaccine was administered to their child. In the Mencevax ACWY phase at 24-30 months, a dose of Mencevax ACWY will be given in an open manner to only those subjects who received less than 4 doses of Tritanrix-HepB/Hib-MenAC. No blood samples will be taken in this safety study.

The purpose of this study is to determine at 5 years of age the persistence of immunity to hepatitis B that was conferred by infant vaccination with Infanrix hexa™. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

The purpose of this study is to find out if a new investigational hepatitis B virus vaccine, HEPLISAV™, is safe in patients at least 40 years of age who have progressive loss of kidney function with more advanced stage 3 (GFR ≤ 45 mL/min) or stage 4 chronic kidney disease, and are expected to eventually go on hemodialysis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational vaccine (TG4040) to prevent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The primary goal of this study is to determine the safety of increasing doses of TG4040 versus placebo (an inactive substance) in subjects chronically infected with HCV. Approximately 85 patients, ages 18-65 years, with chronic HCV infection will be enrolled in this study at two sites, Saint Louis University and Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Volunteers will receive doses of TG4040 and placebo by injections into the thigh on different days, depending on which study group they belong to. Safety will be checked before doses are increased, and each participant will receive the study vaccine, TG4040, at some point during the study. Each subject will participate in the study for 8 months. This study may help produce a new vaccine that would improve control of HCV.

The purpose of the study is to find out the effects Budesonide, 9 mg daily for one year, has on patients with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis with features of autoimmune hepatitis.

A double-blind, randomized and controlled clinical trial was conducted in healthy children aged from 1 to 8 years to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of three consecutive lots of a preservative-free inactivated hepatitis A vaccine (Healive®). Participants who completed their primary vaccination were invited to participate in the follow-up phase. Written informed consents were obtained from them. The follow-up study was open-label. These subjects were visited in the next 11 years for blood sampling and assessment of immune persistence induced by vaccination.

The objective of this 96-week study was to evaluate the safety and antiviral efficacy of emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF, coformulated; Truvada®) with or without hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIg) in preventing the recurrence of chronic hepatitis B following liver transplantation, in participants who were chronically infected with hepatitis B prior to transplantation. Prior to enrollment, participants were required to have received at least 12 weeks of HBIg therapy following liver transplantation. Enrolled participants then received FTC/TDF plus HBIg for an initial 24-week pre-randomization treatment period. Participants who completed the pre-randomization period and who achieved sustained viral suppression were randomized to continue treatment with FTC/TDF with or without HBIg for an additional 72 weeks (randomized period). The antiviral efficacy of treatment was assessed by measuring hepatitis B virus levels in the blood (HBV DNA). Safety and tolerability was monitored by assessing adverse events and various laboratory parameters.

This protocol posting describes the booster phase of the study. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00289731).

The purpose of this study is to assess the persistence of immunity to hepatitis B in children who received three consecutive doses of HBV vaccine (EngerixTM-B) in infancy. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

PR5I, a hexavalent pediatric combination vaccine is being developed to reduce the number of injections during the first 2 years of life while providing a complete course of immunization against infection caused by H. influenzae type b, hepatitis B virus, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Clostridium tetani, Bordetella pertussis, and poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3. Primary Objective: To evaluate immunogenicity of PR5I with the adjuvant composition enhancement to the hepatitis B component when administered concomitantly with Prevnar® Secondary Objectives: To assess the safety and immunogenicity of PR5I when administered concomitantly, or one month apart with Prevnar® or separately with licensed vaccines used for routine infant vaccination in Canada.
