Brief summary

This study will evaluate the immune response against Hepatitis-A (HAV) and Hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen in healthy subjects aged 12 to 15 years (at the time of primary vaccination), who received vaccination course with GSK Biologicals' Twinrix Adult and Twinrix Junior vaccine, approximately 10 years ago in the primary study. The subjects will be invited for blood sampling at 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 years after primary vaccination to evaluate the persistence of immune response. For subjects detected with decreased immunity, the presence of immune memory against hepatitis A & B antigens will be investigated by the administration of a challenge dose of the appropriate vaccine 6 to 12 months after the Year 15 follow-up time-point. No new subjects will be recruited during this booster phase of the study.

Interventions

PROCEDUREBlood sampling

Blood sampling at Years 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and at the time of challenge dose administration and one month after challenge dose administration.

BIOLOGICALAdditional challenge dose

If a subject became seronegative for anti-HAV antibodies (\< 15 mIU/mL) or if anti-HBs antibody concentrations decreased below 10 mIU/mL during the long-term follow-up, immune memory against the antigen was evaluated by administering a challenge dose of the appropriate antigen (vaccine) 6 to 12 months after the Year 15 follow-up time-point.

Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Unsolicited Symptoms.

An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Any was defined as an adverse event (AE) reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study. Any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms was reported as an unsolicited adverse event. Grade 3 = AE that prevented normal activity. Related = AE assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

Time frame: During the 31-day (Day 0 to 30) follow-up period after the challenge dose.

Population: Analysis was performed on Total Vaccinated cohort for challenge dose that included all subjects who received the challenge dose and for whom the immunogenicity data were available.

Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) or Hepatitis A or B Infection.

SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that: results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject, or may evolve into one of the outcomes listed above.

Time frame: Since the last long-term follow-up visit up to Year 15.

Population: Analysis was performed on Long Term (LT) Total Cohort which included all subjects who returned at the current follow-up study and who belonged to the Total cohort in the primary study.

Anti-HAV antibody cut-off value assessed was \>= 15 milli-International Units per milliliter (mIU/mL). Note: Since none of the subjects were seronegative for anti-HAV antibody concentration at the pre-challenge time point, subjects received only the HBV vaccine as the challenge dose.
