Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B"

The purpose of the study is to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of HepaGam B in combination with antiviral therapy for the prevention of hepatitis B virus (HBV) recurrence following HBV-related orthotopic liver transplant.

Patients with chronic hepatitis B constantly produce the virus in the body. The disease of chronic hepatitis B is the body responding to the virus. Use of steroids can adjust this response. After taking steroids, viral production usually increases and liver function tests increase. After stopping steroids, viral production usually decreases. Many studies in the past have studied taking a low dose steroid before treating hepatitis B. Those studies have shown that low dose steroids help your body to clear the virus. The goal of this study is to improve the liver function by slowing viral growth.

The study aims to confirm that, in Peruvian infants, the investigational DTaP-IPV Hep B-PRP~T vaccine has immunological and safety profiles that are comparable to those of the control vaccine that is already marketed (Infanrix®Hexa) Primary Objective: To demonstrate that the hexavalent DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T combined vaccine induces an immune response that is at least as good as the response following Infanrix®Hexa in terms of seroprotection rates to HB, one month after a three-dose primary series (2, 4 and 6 months) Secondary Objectives: To describe in each group the immunogenicity to vaccine components (for DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T and Infanrix®Hexa) one month after the third dose of the primary series. To assess the overall safety in each group one month after each dose of the primary series and through the entire study.

The primary safety objective of this study is to assess the safety of 10 mcg recombinant hepatitis B vaccine in the Chinese health neonates. The primary immunogenicity objective is to assess the antibody response following 3 doses immunization of the 10 mcg experimental dose and 10 or 5 mcg control dose, Participants will include up to 1740 healthy neonates. This is a randomized, double-blinded, Phase III study. This study is designed to investigate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 10ug recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (yeast). Subjects will be stratified by the mother with positive for both HBsAg and HBeAg, positive for the surface antigen but negative for HBeAg, negative for the HBsAg and HBeAg and HBeAb and HBcAb. Stratified 1: There are 180 neonates born to the mother with positive for both HBsAg and HBeAg will be randomized into two groups according to the ratio of 2:1. 120 subjects will receive the 10 mcg experimental vaccine and 60 subjects will receive 10 mcg control vaccine respectively. Stratified 2: There are 360 neonates born to the mother with positive for HBsAg but negative for HBeAg will be randomized into two groups according to the ratio of 2:1. 240 subjects will receive the 10 mcg experimental vaccine and 120 subjects will receive 10 mcg control vaccine respectively. Stratified 3: There are 1200 neonates born to the mother with negative for the HBsAg and HBeAg and HBeAb and HBcAb will be randomized into 3 groups. 600 of them will receive the 10mcg experimental vaccine. 300 subjects will receive 10mcg control vaccine. And the other 300 subjects will receive 5mcg control vaccine. The recombinant hepatitis B vaccine will be administered at m0, 1 and 6. Following each immunization, safety will be measured by assessment of adverse events through 30 days following each vaccination, serious adverse events and new-onset chronic medical conditions through 6 months post the final vaccination (Day 180 after last vaccination). For the immunogenicity testing will apply the chemiluminescence immunoassay on serum obtained on the day 0, 210 and 360 after born.

This study is an expanded Phase 2/Phase 3 clinical trial base on the safety data obtained from the phase 1 clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of 60mcg/30mcg recombinant hepatitis B vaccines in people aged 16 and older who failed to respond to routine administration of 10mcg recombinant hepatitis B vaccines and to explore the optimizing immunizing dose and immune procedure.

In this study, infants who were previously vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine at birth will be randomly allocated into two groups: one group of subjects will receive diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis- hepatitis B virus-inactivated poliovirus/Haemophilus influenzae type b (DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib) vaccine at 6-10-14 weeks of age the second group of subjects will receive DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine at 2-4-6 months of age

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate consistent results in 3 production lots of Hib-MenAC vaccine when extemporaneously mixed with Tritanrix™-HepB and administered as a single injection, with respect to immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity. Tritanrix™-HepB/Hiberix™ given alone and Wyeth Lederle's meningococcal C conjugate vaccine (Meningitec™), given concomitantly with Tritanrix™-HepB/Hiberix™ will be used as benchmark vaccines for all antigens except for MenA. The immunogenicity of MenA will also be evaluated.

The purpose of the study is as follows: To evaluate the persistence of antibodies and the presence of immune memory induced by a 3-dose primary vaccination with Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib-MenAC (three formulations) in the study DTPwHB/HibMenACTT001 (CPMS No. 759346/001) by giving unconjugated PRP, PSA and PSC at 10 months age to one subset of subjects. To evaluate the persistence of all antibodies pertaining to primary vaccination and the booster response to Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib2.5 vaccine or Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib-MenAC vaccine at 15-18 months age in the other subset of subjects.

To demonstrate that DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine does not induce a higher incidence rate of high fever than Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™ and Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) after any of the three vaccinations at 2, 4, and 6 months of age for each subject. To evaluate the overall safety in terms of: Any solicited adverse reactions in the first 7 days after each injection, Any adverse events and reactions in the first 30 days after each injection, Any serious adverse events during the trial. Immunogenicity: To document the immune response to Hepatitis B antigen of the three batches of the investigational DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T vaccine.

In this study, infants will be randomly allocated into three groups: one group of subjects will receive DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine (new formulation) the second group of subjects will receive DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine (current formulation) the third group of subjects will receive DTPa-HBV-IPV vaccine The study will be double-blind for the two groups receiving the DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine (new or current formulation). The study will be single-blind for the group receiving DTPa-HBV-IPV vaccine.
