Brief summary

This study is performed to evaluate the persistence of anti-hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs) antibodies up to 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 years after administration of the first dose of the study vaccine, Engerix-B™. No new subjects will be recruited in this long-term follow-up study. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

Detailed description

The primary study was to evaluate the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of hepatitis B vaccine administered according to a 0, 1, 2, 12 month schedule in newborns of anti-hepatitis B envelope antigen positive (HBeAg+) and anti-hepatitis B surface antigen positive (HBsAg+) mothers. Results from the primary study have shown that the vaccine was immunogenic and protected neonates of HBeAg positive mothers against hepatitis B chronic carriage. The present study is carried out to evaluate the anti-HBs persistence and the prevalence and incidence of other hepatitis B markers (HBsAg, anti-hepatitis B core antigen {anti-HBc}, HBeAg, Alanine aminotransferase/Aspartate aminotransferase {ALT/AST}), and the clinical significance of the HBsAg and anti-HBc positive cases observed during the long-term from year 16-20. No vaccine will be administered during the long term follow up period.

Interventions

PROCEDUREBlood sampling

A blood sample will be taken yearly at each long-term follow-up time point (i.e. Year 16 through Year 20) after the first dose of Engerix-B™ vaccine.

Number of Subjects Seropositive for Anti-hepatitis B Surface Antigen (Anti-HBs) Antibodies

Seropositive subjects are subjects with anti-HBs antibody concentration ≥ 3.3 mIU/mL.

Time frame: At Years 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 after primary vaccination

Population: The analyses were performed on the Long-Term According to protocol (ATP) cohort for immunogenicity. Due to subjects being lost to follow up or eliminated from the ATP cohort for immunogenicity, no data from subjects in HBsAg(+) \& HBeAg(-) 4-dose Group and HBsAg(-) \& HBeAg(-) 4-dose Group were analyzed.
