Filter by:A trial to characterize the immunogenicity of 2 different formulations of a vaccine from GSK Biologicals, including the following five antigens: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b. A vaccine from Commonwealth Serum Laboratories (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis) which is co-administered with Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine will also be used as a comparator. Reactogenicity and safety of all vaccines will be assessed as well.
In this study, infants who were previously vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine at birth will be randomly allocated into two groups: - one group of subjects will receive diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis- hepatitis B virus-inactivated poliovirus/Haemophilus influenzae type b (DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib) vaccine at 6-10-14 weeks of age - the second group of subjects will receive DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine at 2-4-6 months of age
To demonstrate that the immune response to hepatitis B antigen of the DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T is non-inferior to that of the association of PENTAXIM™ and ENGERIX B® one month after a three dose (2-3-4 month) primary series. Immunogenicity - To assess pre- and post-primary series - To assess pre- and post-booster series.
To demonstrate that DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine does not induce a higher incidence rate of high fever than Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™ and Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) after any of the three vaccinations at 2, 4, and 6 months of age for each subject. To evaluate the overall safety in terms of: Any solicited adverse reactions in the first 7 days after each injection, Any adverse events and reactions in the first 30 days after each injection, Any serious adverse events during the trial. Immunogenicity: To document the immune response to Hepatitis B antigen of the three batches of the investigational DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T vaccine.
The purpose of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of 30 mg daily dose of clevudine (L-FMAU) at 24 weeks of treatment in patients with chronic HBV.
The purpose of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of 30mg daily dose of clevudine (L-FMAU) at 24 weeks of treatment in chronic HBV infected patients with HBeAg negative
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and antiviral activity of clevudine 30 mg QD for treatment of longer period (24 weeks) in patients chronically infected with HBV.
Booster and immune memory study
This study explores the efficacy, safety and tolerability of tenofovir DF (TDF) 300 mg once daily monotherapy versus the combination of emtricitabine 200 mg plus tenofovir DF 300 mg (FTC/TDF) once daily in subjects currently being treated with adefovir dipivoxil (Hepsera) for chronic hepatitis B who have persistent viral replication (detectable hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid [HBV DNA]). Subjects with confirmed (within 4 weeks) plasma HBV DNA ≥ 400 copies/mL during double blind treatment at Week 24 or any time thereafter have the option of receiving 12 weeks of open-label FTC/TDF which may be continued through the end of the 168-week treatment period if there is a virologic response (HBV DNA < 400 copies/mL). Alternatively, subjects with confirmed HBV DNA < 400 copies/mL at or any time after Week 24 of double-blind treatment may continue blinded therapy up to Week 168 at the discretion of the investigator. If, in the investigator's opinion, it is felt that continued blinded treatment beyond 24 weeks in subjects with confirmed HBV DNA ≥ 400 copies/mL is not beneficial, the subject may discontinue the study and begin commercially available HBV therapy rather than initiate open-label FTC/TDF.
In earlier clinical studies, when patients who have been on lamivudine (LAM) were switched to adefovir dipivoxil (ADV), some patients developed ALT flares with an elevation of ALT > 10 x the upper limits of normal (ULN). There were no cases of hepatic decompensation with the flares, however. The transition methods were varied among physicians from no overlapping to overlapping for 1 to 3 months with LAM and ADV. There is still some uncertainty about the optimal approach to switching from LAM to ADV. This study will compare the safety of directly switching to ADV to a protocolled switch after a period of overlap of 12 weeks. This will facilitate pro-active switching in patients on LAM and will also highlight genotypic resistance ahead of phenotypic resistance as a reason to switch patients. Data to date have only been presented as part of a controlled study in patients with clinically evident LAM-resistance. This study will enroll patients who still have serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA suppression whilst receiving LAM.
