Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Recombinant Modified Process Hepatitis B Vaccine in Older Adults (V232-059)(COMPLETED) (NCT NCT00440531)

NCT ID: NCT00440531

Last Updated: 2017-04-13

Results Overview

The number of participants as measured by the seroprotection rate (anti-hepatitis B surface antibodies greater than or equal to 10 mIU/mL). Anti-HBs (Antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen) titers were measured from blood samples taken at Day 1 (prior to the first vaccination) and at Month 7 (1 month after the third vaccination).

Participant Flow

27-Nov-2006 (First Participant Enrolled in Study) to 26-Nov-2007 (Last Participant had their Last Visit). This study was conducted at 22 sites: 10 in Canada, 2 in Denmark, 5 in Sweden, and 5 in the United Kingdom.

In the Modified Process group, 2 participants were randomized but not vaccinated: 1 participant withdrew consent, and 1 participant had an SAE (Serious Adverse Experience) of hypertension prior to vaccination.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 7 months (1 month after third vaccination)

Population: Per-protocol Population. The Per-protocol Population is defined as the participants that were able to complete the study as defined by the protocol.

The number of participants as measured by the seroprotection rate (anti-hepatitis B surface antibodies greater than or equal to 10 mIU/mL). Anti-HBs (Antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen) titers were measured from blood samples taken at Day 1 (prior to the first vaccination) and at Month 7 (1 month after the third vaccination).
