Registration Number
NCT04193189
Lead Sponsor
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate response to and safety of the HBV vaccine HEPLISAV-B in two study populations living with HIV: prior HBV vaccine recipients who are deemed non-responders and individuals who are naïve to HBV vaccination.

Detailed Description

This phase III/IV study will evaluate the response to and safety of the HBV vaccine HEPLISAV-B in two study populations living with HIV: prior HBV vaccine recipients who are deemed non-responders (Group A) and individuals who are naïve to HBV vaccination (Group B).

Group A (HBV vaccine non-responders)

The study is designed as an open-label three-arm study to evaluate whether:

1. HEPLISAV-B vaccination given as a two-dose series achieves non-inferior seroprotection response (SPR) compared to standard dose ENGERIX-B.

2. HEPLISAV-B vaccination given as a three-dose series achieves superior SPR proportion compared to standard dose ENGERIX-B.

Participants are randomized in 1:1:1 ratio to the following study arms, stratified by sex at birth (male vs. female) and diabetes diagnosis status (yes vs. no):

* Arm 1: Two doses of HEPLISAV-B at weeks 0 and 4.

* Arm 2: Three doses of HEPLISAV-B at weeks 0, 4, and 24.

* Arm 3: Three doses of ENGERIX-B at weeks 0, 4, and 24.

The target sample size in Group A is 561 participants, 187 participants in each arm.

Group B (Naïve to HBV vaccination)

Group B study is a single arm evaluation of vaccine response and safety of three doses of HEPLISAV-B. The target sample size is 73 participants.

All participants will remain on their non-study-provided antiretroviral therapy (ART) throughout the study. Participants in both groups will attend several study visits through Week 72. Visits may include physical examinations and blood collection. For 7 days after each vaccination, participants will record temperature and any reactions they have to the vaccine.
