HBV Vaccination in HIV-infected Adults

Phase 4
Conditions
Hepatitis B Vaccination, HIV
Interventions
Biological: Hepatitis B vaccine
Registration Number
NCT03212911
Lead Sponsor
Chiang Mai University
Brief Summary

The finding of isolated hepatitis B core antibody (isolated HBc) in absent of recent active hepatitis could cause by several scenarios, including false positive, remote infection without viremia, and occult infection with low viremia. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine booster could be a great prevention strategy for those who do not have HBV viremia. There is no standard consensus for management of this issue especially among HIV infected population. In addition, prior studies revealed that HIV-infected individuals had lower immunologic response to HBV vaccine than general population. This study intends to compare the immune response and safety of 4- versus 3-standard dose of hepatitis B virus vaccination in HIV-infected adults who has isolated HBc. The immunologic response will be evaluated after the participants receive vaccination.

Detailed Description

* A randomized controlled trial to evaluate differences in immunogenicity and safety of the two hepatitis B vaccination regimens, including the percentage of responders, high-level responders, anamnestic response, geometric mean titers of anti-HBs antibody, adverse events and predictive factors associated with vaccine responsiveness

* After participant enrollment, data on baseline characteristics, time since HIV diagnosis, CD4 counts, HIV viral load, antiretroviral treatment regimen and duration will be collected, then the participants will be randomized into 2 groups to receive either 3- or 4-standard doses (20 mcg per dose) of HBV vaccination, and follow-up blood test for anti-HBs titers at multiple pre-specified time points to evaluate outcomes
