Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B"

The purpose of this trial is to clinically confirm that the manufacturing process of the final bulk products of the investigational DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T vaccine is consistent. The primary objective is to demonstrate the equivalence of three batches of DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T vaccine, in terms of seroprotection and seroconversion rates for the vaccine antigens after the three-dose primary series. The secondary objectives are: To describe in each group, the immunogenicity parameters for all antigens one month after the third dose of the primary series To assess the overall safety in each group one month after the third dose of the primary series.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the ability of the Protector Cap Jet Injector to prevent cross-contamination in the next injection sample. The hypothesis is that the Protector Cap Jet Injector will prevent contamination in the next injection sample, even following injection of volunteers with high levels of hepatitis B virus.

Primary Objective: To demonstrate that ProQuad® can be administered concomitantly with a booster dose of Infanrix® hexa to healthy children 12 to 23 months of age without impairing either the antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b; or to the 3 pertussis antibody titres measured at 42 days following vaccination. Secondary Objectives: To describe the antibody titres and the antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenzae type b as measured at 42 days following vaccination by an Infanrix® hexa primary series schedule and all data are pooled. To evaluate the safety profile of ProQuad® when administered concomitantly with a booster dose of Infanrix® hexa by an Infanrix® hexa primary series schedule and all data are pooled.

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.

This is a follow-up of Study A3L10 (NCT00315055) Immunogenicity To describe the antibody persistence following a primary series vaccination of either DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T or PENTAXIM™ and ENGERIX B®. To describe the immunogenicity of a booster dose of DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T. Safety - To describe the safety profile after a booster dose of DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T.

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.

The purpose of this study is to document the immunological response to the investigational hexavalent vaccine at the 6, 10, and 14 weeks schedule The primary objective is to demonstrate that the hexavalent DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine does not induce lower immune responses than CombAct-HIB® with Engerix B® Paediatric and OPV in terms of seroprotection rates to Diphtheria (D), Tetanus (T), polio, Hepatitis B (HB), and Polyribosyl ribitol phosphate (PRP), one month after a 3-dose primary series (6, 10, and 14 weeks) with no HB vaccination at birth. The secondary Objectives are: To describe the safety in terms of any adverse events in the first 28 days after each injection and any serious adverse events during the entire trial. To describe Immunogenicity after the primary series and prior to and after a booster vaccination.

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.
