A long-term follow up of a phase II open, randomised, controlled study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a paediatric dose (0.25 ml) and the standard dose (0.5 ml) of Epaxal® with reference to Havrix Junior® in healthy children and adolescents (more than or equal to 12 months to 16 years of age), using a 0/6 month schedule

Study type | Prevention |
Scientific title | A long-term follow up of a phase II open, randomised, controlled study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a paediatric dose (0.25 ml) and the standard dose (0.5 ml) of Epaxal® with reference to Havrix Junior® in healthy children and adolescents (more than or equal to 12 months to 16 years of age), using a 0/6 month schedule |
Study acronym | EPA |
Study objectives | The long term protection conferred by the pediatric dose of Epaxal® (12 IU) is comparable to that conferred by the standard dose of Epaxal® (24 IU). |
Ethics approval(s) | Approval received by local ethics committees (Comite voor Medische Etiek, Universitair Ziekenhuis Antwerpen [21/09/2006] and the Commissie Medische Ethiek, Sint-Vincentiusziekenhuis, Antwerp [26/10/2006]). |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Hepatitis A |
Intervention | Interventions made in the primary study (EPA 001): 1. 0.25 ml Epaxal (12 IU hepatitis A antigen) 2. 0.50 ml Epaxal (24 IU hepatitis A antigen) 3. Comparator vaccine From each subject willing to participate in this follow up study we will obtain: First yearly visit: informed consent and circa 5 ml of veinous blood. Four remaining yearly visits: circa 5 ml of veinous blood. For each sample of blood the anti-Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) antibody titres using an Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) wil be tested. Computer modeling of long term protection. |
Intervention type | Drug |

Phase | Phase II |
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | Epaxal® |
Primary outcome measure | Proportion of subjects seroprotected five years after booster vaccination |
Secondary outcome measures | Individual antibody titres and Geometric Mean antibody Titres (GMTs) one, two, three, four, and five years after booster vaccination. |
