Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Hepatitis B virus infection is a common occurrence among patients with HIV. Effective vaccines are available, but there's some uncertainty regarding specific dosages, specially among those who have not responded to an initial vaccination. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a simplified immunization schedule compared to a high-dose one.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Recombinant Hepatitis B Virus Vaccine (High Dose)

Patients allocated to this arm will receive three doses of 40mcg each of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix-B (R)). Doses will be administered at 0, 1 and 2 months.

Biological: Recombinant Hepatitis B Virus Vaccine
Other Names:
  • Engerix B (GlaxoSmithKline)
  • Active Comparator: Recombinant Hepatitis B Virus Vaccine (Standard Dose)

    Patients allocated to this arm will receive three doses of 20mcg each of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix-B (R)). Doses will be administered at 0, 1 and 2 months.

    Biological: Recombinant Hepatitis B Virus Vaccine
    Other Names:
  • Engerix B (GlaxoSmithKline)
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Serologic Response [4-8 weeks After Exposure]

      Number of participants with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) antibodies 4 to 8 weeks after completion of the vaccination schemes.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Local Reactions to Vaccine [One Week after Exposure]

      Number of participants presenting dermatologic reactions to the vaccine up to one week after exposure.

    2. Systemic Reactions to the Vaccine [One Week after Exposure]

      Number of participants presenting any systemic adverse reaction attributable to vaccination.
