Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 12 to 25 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult

Study population: All subjects who are currently enrolled or have completed ATN 024 or ATN 025 are eligible for participation on this substudy with the exception of those who were discontinued from ATN 024 or ATN 025 prior to completing the first post-vaccination serology (week 28) visit. Participants in ATN 024 are HIV-infected youths aged 12 to 24 years, while participants in ATN 025 are HIV-uninfected youths aged 12 to17 years, thus participants in this substudy will be HIV-infected and uninfected youth aged 12 to 24 years. All eligible youths must be negative for HBV core antibody, HBV surface antigen, and HBV surface antibody at the time of enrollment in to the parent protocols.

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects currently enrolled in ATN 024 or ATN 025 are eligible for enrollment in ATN 052 beginning at or following completion of the week 28 visit.
  • Subjects previously enrolled in ATN 024 or ATN 025 are eligible for enrollment in ATN 052, unless the subject was prematurely discontinued from the study prior to the first post-vaccination serology assessment which is performed at week 28.
  • Current pregnancy is permitted.
  • A signed informed assent/consent must be obtained from the subject.
  • Written parental or guardian permission must be obtained where required by the institutional review board/ethics committee (IRB/EC).

Who cannot join

  • Inadequate post-vaccination serology evaluation in ATN 024 or ATN 025.
  • Unable to obtain informed consent and/or parental/legal guardian permission where required by the local IRB/EC.

About this study

Official title: Population Genetics and Immune Response to Hepatitis B Vaccination in Adolescents: A Substudy of ATN 024 and ATN 025

This laboratory-based substudy of an effectiveness trial of two Hepatitis B vaccines in HIV-negative youths is being done to evaluate the genetic contribution to the individualized immune response.

Read the detailed description

This laboratory-based substudy of ATN 024 and 025 will evaluate the genetic contribution to highly individualized immune responses to hepatitis B vaccine in individuals and confirm the correlation of specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles and haplotypes with Hepatitis B Virus (HVB) antibody concentrations and antibody decay kinetics in vaccinated adolescents. Approximately 5 ml of whole blood will be collected from study participants at the time of the week 28 visit or at any subsequent study visit or clinic visit following successful completion of the week 28 visit. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells will be obtained and QIA amp Blood kit will be used to extract high-quality genomic DNA for polymerase chain reaction-based genotyping by the PEII laboratory.

The study is expected to be available for the duration of the parent studies which is approximately 2 years. This study requires one visit that may be arranged to coincide with a study or routine clinic visit. There are no follow up visits.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT00142740
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1 - HIV PositiveParticipant in parent study ATN 024, aged 12-24 years, testing HIV positive. All eligible youths must be negative for HBV core antibody, HBV surface antigen, and HBV surface antibody at the time of enrollment in to ATN 024.
2 - HIV NegativeParticipant in parent study ATN 025, aged 12-24 years and testing negative for HIV infection. All eligible youths must be negative for HBV core antibody, HBV surface antigen, and HBV surface antibody at the time of enrollment in to ATN 025.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To confirm the correlation of HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 alleles and haplotypes with HBV antibody concentrations and antibody decay kinetics in vaccinated adolescents.

    Measured: Specimen obtained at or after the first post- vaccination serology visit.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To determine if other genetic variations (768 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in about 50 genes) in the immune response pathways can confer additional effects on immune responses to hepatitis B vaccination.

    Measured: Specimen obtained at or after the first post-vaccination serology visit.

  2. To compare the strength of genetic and non-genetic associations with specific antibody responses following HBV vaccination.

    Measured: Specimen obtained at or after the first post-vaccination serology visit.

  3. To explore similarities and differences in genetic associations between HIV-positive and HIV-negative cohorts.

    Measured: Specimen obtained at or after the first post-vaccination serology visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Infection and Hepatitis B, run by University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill at 4 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To confirm the correlation of HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 alleles and haplotypes with HBV antibody concentrations and antibody decay kinetics in vaccinated adolescents. (time frame: Specimen obtained at or after the first post- vaccination serology visit.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Feb 2017.
