Infection and cancer is a major cause of death and morbidity, and may be preventable through vaccination. It is not fully understood at the molecular level why some people respond better than others to vaccines until now the technology to assess this has not been available. This has impaired vaccine development. The overall goal of the Human Vaccines Project is to understand the 'rules' of how vaccines work. In this demonstration project the investigators will vaccinate healthy adults with hepatitis B vaccine to start to understand better how it works, ultimately helping with rational vaccine design in the future.
149 HBV carriers with inadequate serum vitamin D levels were randomized to two groups: one is supplied with vitamin D and another without as controls. The markers of HBV replication were compared before and after treatment.
Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are often treated with medications that suppress the immune system. These patients are therefore at increased risk for developing infections, such as influenza, pneumonia, and hepatitis B, which may be prevented by vaccination. While awareness is increasing among gastroenterologists of the importance of vaccinations in the IBD patient, there continues to be some question of the effectiveness of vaccination in immunosuppressed patients. It has been previously shown that patients on immunosuppressive therapy with certain biologic medications (the TNF-blockers: infliximab and adalimumab) had an impaired immune response to vaccination as compared to healthy controls, as the mechanism of immunosuppression for these agents is systemic. Vedolizumab, a biologic medication for CD and UC approved in May 2014, targets the α4β7 integrin, a key component of gut immunity, and as such it has been hypothesized that with this agent effects are gut specific. There is limited data that suggests that in healthy patients given vedolizumab do not have an altered response to parentally administered vaccines, however there are no studies in the CD and UC population describing this. Additionally, IBD patients treated with vedolizumab are frequently also on concomitant therapy with an immunomodulator (6-mercaptopurine, azathioprine, or methotrexate), and these patients ability to mount an immune response has not been demonstrated.
This randomized study will be conducted in two parts to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous administration of RO7062931. Part 1 will include only healthy participants and Part 2 will include only participants with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Part 1 is an adaptive, single-ascending dose study with an adaptive dose-escalating schedule to determine the best dose to be evaluated in participants with CHB. Part 2 is an adaptive, parallel multiple-dose study comprised of three sub-parts which will be used to further refine the dose and dosing regimen, and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RO7062931 when administered with standard-of-care (SoC) therapy.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Hepalatide(L47) and characterize the clinical pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers.
GSK3389404 is being developed for the treatment of CHB virus infection. The development goal for GSK3389404 is the establishment of a finite duration treatment that results in sustained suppression of hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication and viral antigen production after cessation of all treatments for CHB due to the restoration of a functional immune response in the absence of high antigen levels. This study is a multicenter, randomized double-Blind (sponsor un-blinded in Part 1), Placebo-controlled Study which will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD profile of GSK3389404 in subjects with CHB and aim to establish proof-of-mechanism. The study will be conducted in two parts. Part 1 plans to enroll subjects primarily from the Asia-pacific region, including Japan and will be conducted as a single ascending dose (SAD) study with 5 planned cohorts ranging from 30 milligram (mg) to a maximum of 240 mg GSK3389404. Within each cohort, subjects will be randomized to receive either GSK3389404 or placebo in a 3:1 ratio. Cohorts A, B, C, C1, and D will be conducted in a sequential fashion; Cohort C1 is an optional cohort and may be dosed after Cohort C or in parallel with Cohort D. Part 2 will be conducted as a multiple-dose, dose-ranging study. Subjects will be randomized to different parallel dose levels and regimens or placebo. The dose levels of Part 2 will be selected after a review of Part 1 safety, Pharmacokinetic (PK) and Pharmacodynamic (PD) data. The treatments selected are 60 mg GSK3389404 weekly, 120 mg GSK3389404 bi-weekly, 120 mg GSK3389404 weekly or placebo. An optional Japanese part-2 sub-study is planned. The total study duration for part 1 including screening, treatment, and post-treatment follow-up, will not be expected to exceed 13 weeks for each subject and for part 2, including screening, treatment and post-treatment follow-up, will not be expected to exceed 65 weeks for each subject.
Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains the major mode of transmission in most high and intermediate HBV endemic areas, despite existing WHO immunoprophylaxis recommendations. This immunoprophylaxis regimen, if given optimally, can prevent 75-80% of HBV MTCT, but optimal implementation is difficult because it requires administering monovalent HBV vaccine and hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIg) within 24 hours of birth. Due to the barriers of giving HBIg, the World Health Organization (WHO) states, "…owing to concerns related to supply, safety and cost, the use of HBIg is not feasible in most settings." Clearly, global control of HBV transmission will require improved MTCT prevention. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize that treating HBV early in pregnancy will lead to undetectable HBV DNA levels at delivery and prevention of MTCT of HBV without HBIg; a concept that has already been proven with HIV. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), an approved anti-HBV drug, is promising to prevent MTCT of HBV due to its high potency against hepatitis B and its safety record in pregnant women. A randomized, controlled clinical trial (RCT) will be necessary to determine if TDF given to HBV-infected pregnant women early in pregnancy plus vaccine to the newborn can decrease MTCT of HBV without HBIg. However, before embarking on a RCT, several critical knowledge gaps need to be addressed including the ideal timing for TDF initiation. The purpose of this proposal is to address these knowledge gaps.
This is a randomized, controlled trial. The study will evaluate the immunogenicity, immune persistence, and safety of 20 µg and 60 µg recombinant hepatitis B vaccine with three injections at months 0, 1, and 6 in methadone maintenance treatment patients.
(1) Due to missed childhood vaccination programs, the majority of adult patients with NAFLD in Canada do not have immunity to hepatitis B. (2) Adults with NAFLD who receive the HBV vaccine have reduced immunogenic responses in the setting of obesity (i.e., protective anti-HBs titres). Aims: (1) To determine the sero-prevalence of immunity against hepatitis B in a cohort of prospectively evaluated adult NAFLD patients. (2) To prospectively determine HBV vaccine responses (anti-HBs titres) in adult NAFLD patients.
