Long-Term Follow-Up Studies at Year 6, 7, 8, 9, 10: 2 Formulations of Combined Hepatitis A/B Vaccine Compared in Subjects Aged 12-15 Years

To evaluate the persistence of anti-hepatitis A virus (anti-HAV) and anti-hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) antibodies up to 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 years after administration of the first dose of the study vaccine.

Open, randomized, long-term antibody persistence studies. Immune persistence was compared between subjects who received one of the two formulations of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' combined hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccine according to a two-dose or three-dose schedule. These long-term follow-up studies involved taking blood samples at approximately 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 years after the primary vaccination of combined hepatitis A and B vaccine, to assess antibody persistence and a retrospective safety follow-up.
