Hepatitis B Antibody Persistence and Immune Response to Hepatitis B Vaccine Challenge in Previously Vaccinated Children - Full Text View

Purpose

This study will evaluate the persistence of immunity to hepatitis B in healthy children aged 7 to 8 years, after previous vaccination with Infanrix hexa™ in the first two years of life, and also their ability to mount an immune response to the challenge dose of Engerix-B™ Kinder.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Number of Subjects With Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibody Concentrations Equal to or Above the Protocol Specified Cut-off Values [ Time Frame: One month (Month 1) after a challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Anti-HBs antibody concentrations cut-off value assessed was >= 100 milli-International Units per milliliter (mIU/mL).

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Anti-HBs Antibody Concentrations After Previous Vaccination With Infanrix Hexa Vaccine [ Time Frame: Before (Day 0) a challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Antibodys concentrations are expressed as Geometric mean antibody concentrations (GMCs) in mIU/mL.
Number of Subjects With Anti-HBs Antibody Concentrations Equal to or Above the Protocol Specified Cut-off Values After Previous Vaccination With Infanrix Hexa Vaccine [ Time Frame: Before (Day 0) a challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Anti-HBs antibody concentrations cut-off values assessed were >= 3.3 mIU/mL, >= 10 mIU/mL, >= 10 mIU/mL to <100 mIU/mL and >= 100 mIU/mL.
Number of Subjects With Anti-HBs Antibody Concentrations Equal to or Above Protocol Specified Cut-off Values [ Time Frame: One month (Month 1) after a challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Anti-HBs antibody concentrations cut-off value assessed were >= 3.3 mIU/mL and >= 10 mIU/mL.
Anti-HBs Antibody Concentrations [ Time Frame: One month (Month 1) after a challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Antibodys concentrations are expressed as Geometric mean antibody concentrations (GMCs) in mIU/mL.
Number of Subjects Demonstrating an Anamnestic Response to the Engerix-B Kinder Challenge Dose [ Time Frame: After Engerix-B Kinder challenge dose (i.e. Month 1) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The anamnestic response is defined as antibody concentration >= 10 mIU/mL at post Engerix-B Kinder challenge dose time point for initially seronegative subjects and antibody concentration at post Engerix-B Kinder challenge dose time point >= 4 fold the pre-vaccination antibody concentration for initially seropositive subjects.

Seronegative subjects are subjects with anti-HBs antibody concentrations < 3.3 mIU/mL prior to vaccination.

Seropositive subjects are subjects with anti-HBs antibody concentrations >= 3.3 mIU/mL prior to vaccination.
Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: During the 4-day (Day 0-3) follow-up period after the challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Solicited local symptoms assessed were pain, redness and swelling. Any was occurrence of any local symptom regardless of their intensity grade. Grade 3 pain was considerable pain at rest that prevented normal everyday activities. Grade 3 redness and swelling was > 50 millimeter (mm).
Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General AEs [ Time Frame: During the 4-day (Day 0-3) follow-up period after the challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Solicited general symptoms assessed were fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms, headache and temeperature.

Any temperature was defined as axillary temperature ≥ 37.5 degree centigrade (°C), grade 3 temperature was axillary temperature > 39.0°C. For other symptoms, any was defined as occurrence of any general symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination and grade 3 was defined as a general symptom that prevented normal activity. Related was a general symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.
Number of Subjects Reporting Any Unsolicited AEs [ Time Frame: During the 31-day (Day 0-30) follow-up period after the challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Unsolicited AE covers any AE reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as occurrence of any unsolicited symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.
Number of Subjects Reporting Any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: After the challenge dose of Engerix-B Kinder vaccine up to the study end (Day 0 to Month 1) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

A male or female 7 to 8 years of age at the time of enrolment.
Subjects with documented evidence of previous vaccination with four consecutive doses of Infanrix hexa™ as part of routine vaccination in Germany: three doses of primary vaccination received by 9 months of age and one booster dose received between 11 and 18 months of age.
Written informed consent obtained from the parents/Legally Acceptable Representative(s) of the subject at the time of enrolment.
In addition to the informed consent that will be signed by the parent(s)/Legally Acceptable Representative(s), written informed assent of the subject will be sought when the subject is judged able to understand by the investigator.
