Trial summary

The prevalence of Hepatitis B core antigen in the Thai population is about 70 %, no data of isolated Hepatitis B core antigen is reported. Hepatitis B core antigen is observed in 10%-20% of individuals from low endemic areas of HBV infection. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of HBV Vaccine Response and Prevalence of Occult HBV Infection in Isolated Anti HBc Between HIV Infected and HIV Un-infected Thai Patients

The prevalence of Hepatitis B core antigen in the Thai population is about 70 %, no data of isolated Hepatitis B core antigen is reported. Hepatitis B core antigen is observed in 10%-20% of individuals from low endemic areas of HBV infection. However, this prevalence of isolated antiHBc would be higher in endemic area of HBV infection. There is conflicting data of occult HBV infection in HIV infected patients. In Thailand, perinatal transmission is the main route of transmission which is different from developed countries. Therefore, isolated antiHBc in Thai people has longer duration than low prevalence regions. Moreover, HBV genotype C and B is common in this region. If the HBV vaccination could eliminate an occult HBV infection in these individuals, the liver related mortality might be reduced. The prevalence and clinical importance of isolated antiHBc in Thai have not been investigated yet. There is also limited data of HBV vaccine response in this setting.

Read the detailed description

The prevalence of the Hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc)in the Thai population is about 70 %. No data of isolated anti-HBc is reported. Anti-HBc antigen is observed in 10%-20% of individuals from low endemic areas of HBV infection. The prevalence of isolated antiHBc antigen is expected to be higher in endemic areas of HBV infection. There is conflicting data of occult HBV infection in HIV-infected patients. In Thailand, perinatal transmission is the main route of HBV transmission, different from developed countries. Therefore, isolated anti-HBc in Thai people has longer duration than low prevalence regions. Moreover, HBV genotype C and B is common in this region. HBV genotype C is correlated with more cirrhosis and hepatoma than genotype B. A study from Taiwan demonstrated that HBV DNA > 100,000 copies/ml is correlated with cirrhosis and hepatoma. Sustained reduction of HBV replication lowers the risk of hepatoma in HBV related cirrhosis. If the HBV vaccination could eliminate an occult HBV infection in these individuals, the liver related mortality will be reduced.

The prevalence and its clinical importance of isolated anti-HBc in the Thai population has not been investigated yet. There is also limited data of HBV vaccine response in this setting.

What is being measured

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

  1. HBV DNA in HIV-infected patients presenting with a serological pattern of isolated anti-HBcAg compare to non HIV patients with isolated antiHBc

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. antiHBs titer after 2 month of third dose of HBV vaccine in both 2 groups

    Measured: 1 year

  2. liver function test after HAART in HIV patients compare between negative and positive HBV DNA

    Measured: 1 year

  3. 3TC resistant after 3TC containing HAART in HIV patients with detectable HBV DNA prior treatment

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HBV vaccine in people with Hepatitis b Virus, run by The HIV Netherlands Australia Thailand Research Collaboration at 1 site in Thailand.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 17 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Thailand. 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?

HBV DNA in HIV-infected patients presenting with a serological pattern of isolated anti-HBcAg compare to non HIV patients with isolated antiHBc (time frame: 1 year). 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 17 Jul 2020.
