A Study of the Interruption on the Mother-to-child Transmission of Hepatitis B Virus （HBV MTCT）in Newborns at High Risk

September 18, 2016 updated by: Yao Xie, Beijing Ditan Hospital

According to the Venous Blood HBsAg State of Neonatus at Birth, Discussing the Efficiency of Personalized Blocking Method of HBV Maternal-neonatal Transmission in High-risk Newborns

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a serious liver disease worldwide，HBV MTCT is the important reason to keep high prevalence of chronic HBV infection in China. Intrapartum infection is the main period of neonatal HBV infection. Injecting HBIG and hepatitis b vaccine immediately after birth is the most important method of blocking mother-to-child transmission of HBV. However, regular doses of HBIG combined with hepatitis b vaccine blocking measures still have a failure rate as high as 5% ~ 15%.There are numerous studies to explore pregnancy women with HBV positive, especially high viral load of those women during pregnancy being treated with nucleoside analogs to increase the blocking rate of HBV MTCT, but there is still a failure rate of 2.2% to 18%. In this study, we will explore the efficiency of personalized blocking method of HBV maternal-neonatal transmission in high-risk newborns,according to the venous blood HBsAg state of neonatus at birth.

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In this trial, the study population were consisted of patients suffering from chronic hepatitis B who had achieved HBeAg positive and HBV DNA > 106 copies/ml and their newborns who were born with HBsAg positive. Before injecting hepatitis b vaccine and HBIG for newborns, we tested their vein blood HBsAg levels, and the venous blood HBsAg positive newborns were randomly divided into the control group and the interventional group in which group we injected the additional 200 IU HBIG within 24 hours after birth, in addition to routine injection. We gathered the neonatal venous blood of 0, 7 and 30 days to test the level of anti HBs, HBsAg and HBV DNA., then detected the level of anti HBs, HBsAg and HBV DNA when these children were seven months.According to the venous blood HBsAg state of neonatus at birth, exploring the efficiency of personalized blocking method of HBV MTCT in high-risk newborns.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
control group
In this group,these children born in about two hours, we injected HBIG 200 iu and 10 micrograms of hepatitis b vaccine in their left and right thigh respectively, then injected 10 micrograms again in 1 and 6 months.
experimental group
In this group,about 2 hours after birth, respectively injecting HBIG 200 IU and 10 micrograms of hepatitis b vaccine in the right and left thigh, and in 1 and 6 months again taking 10 micrograms of standard solution, in addition, offering the additional injection of 200 IU HBIG within 24 hours.
Biological: 200 IU HBIG
additional 200 IU HBIG within 24 hours was used for the experimental group of newborns
Other Names:
  • hepatitis B immune globulin

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
blocking rate of vertical transmission of hepatitis B
Time Frame: seven months
At the birth of 7 months, the venous blood serum HBsAg positive was defined as the failure of the interruption of HBV mother-to-child transmission.
seven months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
anti HBs level at the age of one month and seven months
Time Frame: one month and seven months
Observing the level of anti HBs, then discussing the efficiency of personalized blocking method of HBV maternal-neonatal transmission
