Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of 2 Doses of VAQTA™ in Healthy Children 12 to 23 Months of Age (V251-069) (NCT NCT00835380)

NCT ID: NCT00835380

Last Updated: 2017-04-13

Results Overview

Seroconversion rate = (number of subjects with seronegative at baseline and developed seropositive at Month 7)/(number of subjects with seronegative at baseline regardless HAV serum status at Month 7). Measure serum HAV (hepatitis A virus) antibody at Day 0 prior to vaccination and at Month 7 after administration of a 2-dose regimen of vaccines. HAV antibody titers were determined by Wantai ELISA kit for serum antibody response to HAV. Seropositive was defined as HAV antibody titer ≥ 50 mIU/mL. Seronegative was defined as HAV antibody titer \< 50 mIU/mL.

Participant Flow

114 subjects were enrolled for vaccination screening. Subject eligibility was reviewed according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria, and blood samples were collected for HAV (hepatitis A virus) antibody and ALT (alanine aminotransferase) testing. Finally 80 HAV-susceptible subjects with normal ALT were administered vaccines at the Day 1

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Collect blood sample for HAV antibody testing at Day 0 prior to vaccination, and Month 7 (4 weeks after administration of a 2-dose regimen of vaccines at Month 6)

Population: Per-protocol population, defined as all HAV-susceptible subjects who completed the vaccination regimen within acceptable day ranges, had 2 valid serology results on Day 0 and Month 7, and met all inclusion/exclusion criteria.

Seroconversion rate = (number of subjects with seronegative at baseline and developed seropositive at Month 7)/(number of subjects with seronegative at baseline regardless HAV serum status at Month 7). Measure serum HAV (hepatitis A virus) antibody at Day 0 prior to vaccination and at Month 7 after administration of a 2-dose regimen of vaccines. HAV antibody titers were determined by Wantai ELISA kit for serum antibody response to HAV. Seropositive was defined as HAV antibody titer ≥ 50 mIU/mL. Seronegative was defined as HAV antibody titer \< 50 mIU/mL.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: For serious adverse experiences and systemic adverse experiences: 14 days follow-up after each dose of vaccination; For injection-site adverse experiences: 5 days follow-up after each dose of vaccination

Population: Safety population, defined as all subjects who were vaccinated at least one dose and had safety follow-up data

All adverse experiences were collected from the time the consent form was signed through 14 days following the first vaccination(s) and from the time of the second vaccination through 14 days thereafter. The parent/legal guardian of each participant were requested to record injection-site adverse experiences and monitor the subject's temperature daily on the Vaccination Report Card for Day 1 thereafter for 4 additional calendar days, and record all systemic adverse experiences that occur during the 14-day period after each injection.
