Study typePrevention
Scientific titleRandomized Clinical Trial to evaluate the Immunogenicity and Reactogenicity of the Brazilian Hepatitis B Vaccine (Butang®) in Infants using the Ventrogluteal area as an alternative intramuscular injection site
Study acronymRCT IR HBV IVG
Study objectivesHepatitis B vaccine administered into ventrogluteal area induces similar immune response to anterolateral thigh injection in infants.
Ethics approval(s)Local ethics committee of Maternal/Infant Hospital, Secretary of Health of Goiás (Hospital Materno-Infantil, Secretaria Estadual de Saúde de Goiás, Brazil) approved on 6th October 2006 (ref: CEP-HMI n. 11/06)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHepatitis B vaccine
InterventionAll infants will receive hepatitis B vaccine by intramuscular route.

First dose
Group 1: Hepatitis B vaccine (10 µg) into ventrogluteal area
Group 2: Hepatitis B vaccination (10 µg) into anterolateral thigh

Second dose (administered 30 days after the first dose)
Group 1: Hepatitis B vaccine (10 µg) into ventrogluteal area
Group 2: Hepatitis B vaccination (10 µg) into anterolateral thigh

Third dose (administered 180 days after the first dose)
Group 1: Hepatitis B vaccine (10 µg) into ventrogluteal area
Group 2: Hepatitis B vaccination (10 µg) into anterolateral thigh

48 to 72 hours after each vaccine dose, infants will be evaluated in order to detect local (pain, redness, swelling) or systemic (fever, urticaria, persistent crying / screaming) adverse events.

Blood samples (5 mL) will be collected 45 days after third hepatitis B vaccine dose in all participants.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Hepatitis B vaccine
Primary outcome measureImmunogenicity, assessed using blood samples collected 45 days after the third dose.
Secondary outcome measuresReactogenicity, assessed 48-72 hours after each vaccine dose. These will be scored on visual scales (0: no reaction to 5: highest level of reaction).
