Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Qualify an In-house Reference Standard Batch of Sci-B-Vac™ (NCT NCT04179786)

NCT ID: NCT04179786

Last Updated: 2022-06-24

Results Overview

SPR (% of subjects ≥ 10 mIU/mL) one month after immunization with Sci-B-Vac™ at months 0, 1 and 6 was calculated by measuring the HBs antibody titers using Cobas™ e601 anti-HBs assay. Subjects who received at least one Sci-B-Vac™ dose and early terminated from the study for any reason at any time while having HBs antibody concentrations ≥ 10 mIU/ml were considered among those who met the endpoint.

Sci-B-Vac™
Single arm study in healthy volunteers who had never been vaccinated with any hepatitis B vaccine and who were seronegative for antibodies to HBsAg, HBc and HBs at baseline. Sci-B-Vac™ is a recombinant Hepatitis B vaccine, produced by SciVac Israel Ltd under good manufacturing practices. It contains the 3 surface antigens of the Hepatitis B virus: HBs, pre-S1 and pre-S2. Each 1 ml dose contains sterile 10 μg Hepatitis B virus surface antigens. It is formulated for intramuscular injection supplied in single use vials containing 1ml suspension.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Month 7 (i.e. one month after the third immunization with Sci-B-Vac™)

SPR (% of subjects ≥ 10 mIU/mL) one month after immunization with Sci-B-Vac™ at months 0, 1 and 6 was calculated by measuring the HBs antibody titers using Cobas™ e601 anti-HBs assay. Subjects who received at least one Sci-B-Vac™ dose and early terminated from the study for any reason at any time while having HBs antibody concentrations ≥ 10 mIU/ml were considered among those who met the endpoint.

Seroprotection Rate Achieved One Month After the Third Immunization With Sci-B-Vac™.
83 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At one month after the first injection, and then at every month until month 7 inclusive and at months 9 and 12.

Population: The immunogenicity results presented here were obtained through analyses performed on the modified intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis set. This set consisted of all enrolled subjects who were vaccinated at least once with Sci-B-Vac™ at least one post vaccination follow-up visit, fully comply with the study protocol, had no violation of any of the inclusion/exclusion criteria and did not demonstrate an anamnestic response after the 1st administration of Sci-B-Vac™.

The endpoint for the study was the SPR, defined as the percentage of subjects with HBs antibody titer ≥10 mIU/ml. The Cobas™ e601 anti-HBs assay was used to assess the HBs antibody titer.
