Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the risk of hepatitis B reactivation in patients undergoing allografting.
This study will evaluate the immune response against Hepatitis-A (HAV) and Hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen in healthy subjects aged 12 to 15 years (at the time of primary vaccination), who received vaccination course with GSK Biologicals' Twinrix Adult and Twinrix Junior vaccine, approximately 10 years ago in the primary study. The subjects will be invited for blood sampling at 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 years after primary vaccination to evaluate the persistence of immune response. For subjects detected with decreased immunity, the presence of immune memory against hepatitis A & B antigens will be investigated by the administration of a challenge dose of the appropriate vaccine 6 to 12 months after the Year 15 follow-up time-point. No new subjects will be recruited during this booster phase of the study.
The UK immunisation guidelines recommend that children immunised with an accelerated course of hepatitis B vaccine (i.e. vaccination at 0, 1, 2 and 12 months) receive an additional booster dose of vaccine in later childhood (usually at 3 1/2 years of age). The primary objective of this study is to to assess what proportion of these children have 'protective' concentrations (10mIU/ml) of hepatitis B specific antibodies before and after the booster dose of hepatitis B vaccine.
This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' GSK2202083A vaccine given as a three-dose vaccination course at 3, 5 and 11 months of age.
The purpose is to evaluate efficacy and safety of therapeutic Hepatitis B Virus（HBV） vaccine (mimogen-based) treatment in chronic hepatitis B patients and to explore the most effective dosage and provide the rational for optimal dosing schedule.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of telbivudine in Blacks/African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos with compensated chronic hepatitis B during 52 weeks of treatment
For HBeAg(+) patients, interferon is used for 12 weeks. On 12th week of treatment, If HBV DNA is undetectable (<1000 copies/ml), interferon is continued alone for one year. If HBV DNA is still positive, nucleoside analogue is added for 3 months. After nucleoside analogue is added for 3 months, HBV DNA is tested again. If negative, stop nucleoside analogue and use interferon alone for another 6 months or longer. If HBV DNA is still positive, change to another nucleoside analogue or add another nucleoside analogue.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Adefovir Dipivoxil is effective and safe in treatment of Chinese Patients with HBeAg positive Chronic Hepatitis B for 5 years.
This study aims to gain an understanding of the key components of the immune response to hepatitis B present in cord blood of HBV infected mothers.
The goal of the proposed study is to use the HBV vaccine as a model for a future HIV vaccine trial, examining the efficacy of community-based outreach intervention as well as an accelerated vaccine schedule as a method for increasing acceptance/adherence with HBV vaccination protocols among not-in-treatment drug users. This study will also examine the effect of HBV vaccination coupled with community-based outreach intervention on reducing the incidence of HIV, HBV and HCV infections and the frequency of needle use and sexual risk behaviors related to these viral transmissions. A secondary purpose will be to assess the antibody response after HBV vaccination as a measurement of immunological response in drug users.
