Long Term Follow-Up Study 16-20 Years After Hepatitis B Vaccination in Newborns of Mothers Who Were Seropositive for Hepatitis B Envelope Antigen (HBeAg) & Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg)
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.
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.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Petrosal Sinus Sampling
Sampling of blood levels of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) by withdrawal of blood from the inferior petrosal sinus. The inferior petrosal sinus arises from the cavernous sinus and runs to the internal jugular vein. Sampling of blood at this level is a valuable tool in the differential diagnosis of Cushing disease, Cushing syndrome, and other adrenocortical diseases.
Hepatitis D
INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by HEPATITIS DELTA VIRUS, a defective RNA virus that can only infect HEPATITIS B patients. For its viral coating, hepatitis delta virus requires the HEPATITIS B SURFACE ANTIGENS produced by these patients. Hepatitis D can occur either concomitantly with (coinfection) or subsequent to (superinfection) hepatitis B infection. Similar to hepatitis B, it is primarily transmitted by parenteral exposure, such as transfusion of contaminated blood or blood products, but can also be transmitted via sexual or intimate personal contact.
Hepatitis, Viral, Human
INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans due to infection by VIRUSES. There are several significant types of human viral hepatitis with infection caused by enteric-transmission (HEPATITIS A; HEPATITIS E) or blood transfusion (HEPATITIS B; HEPATITIS C; and HEPATITIS D).
Hepatitis C
INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by HEPATITIS C VIRUS, a single-stranded RNA virus. Its incubation period is 30-90 days. Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily by contaminated blood parenterally, and is often associated with transfusion and intravenous drug abuse. However, in a significant number of cases, the source of hepatitis C infection is unknown.
Hepadnaviridae
A family of hepatotropic DNA viruses which contains double-stranded DNA genomes and causes hepatitis in humans and animals. There are two genera: AVIHEPADNAVIRUS and ORTHOHEPADNAVIRUS. Hepadnaviruses include HEPATITIS B VIRUS, duck hepatitis B virus (HEPATITIS B VIRUS, DUCK), heron hepatitis B virus, ground squirrel hepatitis virus, and woodchuck hepatitis B virus (HEPATITIS B VIRUS, WOODCHUCK).
