Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B"

Does vaccinating hemodialysis patients with Twinrix® (combination vaccine against hepatitis A and hepatitis B) result in a difference in hepatitis B antibody response in comparison to the monovalent hepatitis B vaccine? Hepatitis B infection is an important cause of mortality and morbidity. Current standard vaccination practices have low efficacy levels in patients (eg. hemodialysis patients) who are most susceptible of infection. Efficacy of the two regiments will be studied.

Hepatitis B is a contagious virus that can damage a person's liver. It can be prevented by vaccination, but for many HIV-positive people, the vaccines do not help them achieve adequate protection against this virus. In an attempt to improve response to vaccination and achieve protection from hepatitis B, this trial will compare the immune system response to 3 hepatitis B vaccine regimens in HIV-positive adolescents 12 through 24 years of age.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immune response of an investigational vaccine being evaluated to reduce the incidence of diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, hepatitis B, poliomyelitis, and Haemophilus influenza type b.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of a booster dose of DTPw-HBV/Hib-MenAC compared to DTPw-HBV/Hib given to healthy subjects at 15 to 24 months of age primed with 3 doses of Tritanrix-HepB/Hib-MenAC in study 100480. Antibody persistence will be evaluated at 24 to 30 months. Immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of a dose of Mencevax ACWY given at 24 to 30 months will also be evaluated when given to subjects not boosted with a MenA conjugate and/or MenC containing vaccine.

To evaluate the persistence of immune response 5 years and 6 years after the first vaccine dose.

This is a preliminary trial of a Hepatitis B vaccine (Heplisav-B) in medically immunosuppressed patients. The purpose of this study is to test the ability of Heplisav-B to produce high levels of antibody that neutralize the virus and prevent hepatitis B from coming back. Another important purpose is to test the safety of this vaccine in patients taking immune suppressive medicines.

This study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between serum regucalcin level and liver fibrosis level in patients with CHB infection.

This trial is an experimental, randomized, double blind, prospective intervention study Approximately 100 subjects will be enrolled in this trial, divided into 2 arms, as follow: For adult (18-40 years old)

Hepatitis B is a common and serious infectious disease of the liver, affecting millions of people throughout the world. Persistent Hepatitis B virus infections may cause development of chronic hepatic insufficiency, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Adding to that, Hepatitis B Virus carriers can transmit the disease for many years. It is transmitted through blood or other body fluids infected with the Hepatitis B virus. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in countries like Bangladesh. Immunization with Hepatitis B vaccine has been proved effective to prevent HBV infection. But the vaccines, which are recommended till now, are expensive. Locally manufactured Hepatitis B vaccine will be safe, cost effective and affordable for all. The test vaccine will induce similar seroprotection rates to hepatitis B one month post-vaccination and at 7 months, one month after the third dose of vaccine compared to reference vaccine. This will be done by comparing the percentages of participants with ≥10 mIU/ml anti-HBs by vaccinated with either Hepa B or Engerix B vaccine. The non-inferiority margin will be 10%.

This is a follow-up of the primary series vaccination schedule in Study A3L24 (NCT01177722) and booster vaccination in Study A3L27 (NCT01444781). Study Objective: To describe the long-term antibody persistence at 3.5 and 4.5 years of age following a 3-dose primary series vaccination of either DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP-T+Prevenar™ (PCV7) +Rotarix™ or Infanrix hexa™+Prevenar™ (PCV7) +Rotarix™ vaccination at 2, 4, 6 months of age and a booster vaccination of DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP-T+Prevenar™ (PCV7) or Infanrix hexa™+Prevenar™ (PCV7) at 12 to 24 months of age. Observational Objectives: To describe the long-term antibody persistence by group and by stratification on the age at inclusion of the A3L27 booster study. To describe the effect of one additional oral dose of stand alone poliovirus isotypes 1, 2 and 3 vaccine* on the antibody persistence immune response for poliovirus isotypes (4 vs 5 doses of poliovirus administered).
