Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B"

The new formulation administered as a 4th consecutive dose will be compared to the current formulation of the vaccine in this partially double blind study. The study will be double-blind with respect to the two DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib groups. The study will be open with respect to the DTPa-HBV-IPV group.

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.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety in terms of fever (rectal temperature) higher than 39 degree Celcius (°C) and the immunogenicity in terms of antibody response following a booster vaccination with pneumococcal vaccine GSK1024850A at 11 to 18 months of age in children previously primed with the same vaccines including a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine co-administered with a diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (DTPa)-combined and meningococcal serogroup C (MenC) or combined meningococcal serogroup C and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib-MenC) vaccine. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00334334).

To assess the efficacy, immune response and safety of 2 doses of HRV vaccine (at different concentrations) in healthy infants aged approximately 3 months previously uninfected with human rotavirus.

The current study will evaluate immunological memory to hepatitis B antigen in subjects who received primary neonatal vaccination of hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix™-B ), 20 years ago in the primary study and who have anti-HBs antibody concentrations < pre-defined cut-off values at the previous long-term time point. All participating subjects will receive a challenge dose of hepatitis B vaccine. Subjects will be aged approximately 20-21 years at the time of this study. No new subjects will be recruited in this long-term follow-up study. Blood sampling will be done one month after the administration of the challenge dose. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

Booster and immune memory study

This study will only include infants born to mothers who are tested as seronegative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) & hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The purpose of this study is to demonstrate in infants who received a birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine that Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib-MenAC vaccine is at least as good as Tritanrix™-HepB/Hiberix™ with respect to immunogenicity of the hepatitis B antigen.

Hepatitis B prevention in non-responders uraemic patients is currently based on both HBsAg surveillance and the isolation from HBsAg carriers. A more immunogenic vaccine would be a benefit for this population.

To evaluate the persistence of antibodies against hepatitis B at 30, 42, 54 and 66 months after the first dose of the hepatitis B primary vaccination course. Subjects were aged 11 to 15 years at the time of the primary vaccination course. At the time of enrollment in the present long-term follow-up study subjects were aged 13 to 18 years. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

This is a study to compare the safety and immune response of a pentavalent DTaP-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine with Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™, when both are given concomitantly with OPV at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age.
