Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B"

The purpose of this study is to design an intervention to increase hepatitis B (HBV) screening among Hmong Americans.

The purpose of this observer-blind study is to generate immunogenicity data with one formulation of GSK Biologicals' DTPw-HBV/Hib vaccine after the primary vaccination course and to demonstrate non-inferiority of this vaccine as compared to two formulations of GSK Biologicals' DTPw-HBV/Hib vaccine with respect to the anti-PRP antibody response. Additionally to assess the reactogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' DTPw-HBV/Hib vaccine. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

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 study will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of different formulations of the candidate HBV-MPL vaccine administered according to a 2-dose schedule and compare it to that of Engerix™-B administered according to a 3-dose schedule in order to determine the optimal dose of each component of the candidate HBV-MPL vaccine when administered at 0 and 6 months

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 purpose of this booster study is to evaluate, in subjects primed in the primary study 106786, the persistence, at the time of the booster vaccination, of antibodies elicited by the different formulation of DTPa-HBV-IPV/ Hib vaccine (Infanrix Hexa TM). The study will also evaluate the immune response of these subjects to a DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib booster. This protocol posting deals with the objectives and outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives and outcomes measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT = 00376779).

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.

The goal of this study is to evaluate two sets of interventions to increase acceptance of hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination in patients attending sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics. The 1st set of interventions, with 3 levels, is based on message framing. The 3 levels are: 1. information only; 2. gain-framed message; and 3. loss-framed message. The 2nd set of interventions, with 2 levels, involves how the vaccine is recommended by the health care provider. The 2 levels are: 1. HBV vaccine offered; and 2. HBV vaccine recommended. The outcome of interest is1st dose acceptance.

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).

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.
