Study summary

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of different hepatitis B vaccination regimens in HIV-infected adults with low CD4 cell count in northern Thailand.

Read the detailed description

HIV-infected adults with CD4+ cell counts \< 200 cells/mm3, undetectable plasma HIV-1 RNA, and negative for all HBV markers were randomly assigned to receive one of these 2 regimens of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (Centro De Ingenieria Genetica Y Biotecnologia, La Habana, Cuba); 1) 20 μg IM at months 0, 1, and 6 (3-standard doses group), and 2) 20 μg IM at months 0, 1, 2, 6 (4-standard doses group).

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of these 2 hepatitis B vaccination regimens at month 7 after vaccination.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of participants with protective immunity against HBV

    comparison of proportion of participants who had protective immunity (anti-HBS titer \>=10 mIU/ml) against HBV between HIV group 2 v.s. HIV group 1

    Time frame: 1 month after vaccination

Secondary outcomes

  1. The geometric means of anti-HBs titers

    Comparison of the geometric means of anti-HBS titers between HIV group 2 v.s. HIV group 1

    Time frame: 1 month after vaccination

  2. Proportion of participants with high level of immune response against HBV

    Comparison of proportion of participants who had anti-HBS titers \>= 100 mIU/ml between HIV group 2 v.s. HIV group 1

    Time frame: 1 month after vaccination
