Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate response to and safety of the HBV vaccine HEPLISAV-B in two study populations of people 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 evaluated the response to and safety of the HBV vaccine HEPLISAV-B in two study populations of people living with HIV: prior HBV vaccine recipients who are deemed non-responders (Group A) and individuals who are naïve to HBV vaccination (Group B). The analyses were conducted as separate evaluations of the two study populations for all primary and secondary objectives. Group A (HBV vaccine non-responders) The study was 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 compared to standard dose ENGERIX-B. Participants were 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): 2-CpG: Two doses of HEPLISAV-B at weeks 0 and 4. 3-CpG: Three doses of HEPLISAV-B at weeks 0, 4, and 24. 3-alum: Three doses of ENGERIX-B at weeks 0, 4, and 24. The target sample size in Group A was 561 participants, 187 participants in each arm. Group B (Naïve to HBV vaccination) Group B study was a single arm evaluation of vaccine response and safety of three doses of HEPLISAV-B. The target sample size was 73 participants. In both groups, participants were scheduled to attend several study visits through Week 72. All participants were to remain on their antiretroviral therapy (ART), not provided by the study, throughout the study. Visits included physical examinations and blood collection. For 7 days after each vaccination, participants were asked to record temperature and any reactions they experienced.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Primary Seroprotection ResponseWeek 12 in Group A 2-CpG, Week 28 in Group A 3-CpG and 3-alum and in Group BPrimary seroprotection response was defined as antibody titer against hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) ≥10 mIU/mL at 8 weeks after 2-dose vaccination series and at 4 weeks after 3-dose vaccination series. If the completion of the vaccine series was delayed (a delay of ≤4 weeks was allowed), the trial protocol specified obtaining an antibody result at 8 weeks for the 2-dose series or at 4 weeks for the 3-dose series after vaccine completion for use in the primary outcome analysis. The study was designed separately for the two study populations (Groups A and B), and the analysis was conducted separately, as prespecified in the study protocol and Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP). In Group A, two-sided 97.5% confidence intervals (CI) were specified for the SPR differences between study arms (presented in the Statistical Analyses sections below). In Group B, two-sided 95% Wilson CI around the single-arm estimate was specified (presented in the Data Table below).
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)From study entry to study discontinuation (Week 72 or premature discontinuation)The protocol required reporting of (1) Grade ≥2 AEs, (2) AEs that led to a change in study treatment regardless of grade, (3) AEs meeting serious AE (SAE) definition or expedited AE (EAE) reporting requirement, (4) Grade ≥1 local and systemic injection reactions within 7 days of any study vaccine injection, (5) medically attended adverse events (MAAE) regardless of grade, and (6) potential immune-mediated AEs regardless of grade. Grading was per DAIDS AE Grading Table (Version 2.1): Grade 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), 3 (severe), 4 (life-threatening) and 5 (death). DAIDS EAE Manual (V1.0) was used. Wilson method was used for confidence intervals.

Percentage of Participants With Grade ≥2 AEs Post-vaccination Adverse EventsFrom study vaccination initiation to 4 weeks after last study vaccination (Week 8 in Group A 2-CpG, Week 28 in Group A 3-CpG and 3-alum and Group B)The protocol required reporting of (1) Grade ≥2 AEs, (2) AEs that led to a change in study treatment regardless of grade, (3) AEs meeting serious AE (SAE) definition or expedited AE (EAE) reporting requirement, (4) Grade ≥1 local and systemic injection reactions within 7 days of any study vaccine injection, (5) medically attended adverse events (MAAE) regardless of grade, and (6) potential immune-mediated AEs regardless of grade. This outcome is limited to the Grade ≥2 AEs that occurred within 4 weeks after any study vaccination. Grading was per DAIDS AE Grading Table (Version 2.1): Grade 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), 3 (severe), 4 (life-threatening) and 5 (death). DAIDS EAE Manual (V1.0) was used.

The visit schedule differed between the study arms.Count of participants by antibody titer against hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs), categorized using cutoffs at 5, 10, 100 and 1000 mIU/mL. The testing assay lower limit of quantitation was 5 mIU/mL and upper limit 1000 mIU/mL. Study visit weeks are according to protocol-specified visit windows; anti-HBs results outside visit windows were not included. Because high proportions of participants achieved anti-HBs above the assay upper limit of quantitation, the planned geometric mean analysis was not conducted. Instead, anti-HBs were summarized according to the categories shown in the Data Table below.

Percentage of Participants With Grade ≥2 AEs Post-vaccination Adverse Events

The protocol required reporting of (1) Grade ≥2 AEs, (2) AEs that led to a change in study treatment regardless of grade, (3) AEs meeting serious AE (SAE) definition or expedited AE (EAE) reporting requirement, (4) Grade ≥1 local and systemic injection reactions within 7 days of any study vaccine injection, (5) medically attended adverse events (MAAE) regardless of grade, and (6) potential immune-mediated AEs regardless of grade. This outcome is limited to the Grade ≥2 AEs that occurred within 4 weeks after any study vaccination. Grading was per DAIDS AE Grading Table (Version 2.1): Grade 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), 3 (severe), 4 (life-threatening) and 5 (death). DAIDS EAE Manual (V1.0) was used. Wilson method was used for confidence intervals.

Time frame: From study vaccination initiation to 4 weeks after last study vaccination (Week 8 in Group A 2-CpG, Week 28 in Group A 3-CpG and 3-alum and Group B)

Population: Eligible participants who initiated study vaccination series

Percentage of Participants With Seroprotection Response

Seroprotection response (SPR) was defined as antibody titer against hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) ≥10 mIU/mL. Study visit weeks are according to protocol-specified visit windows; anti-HBs results outside visit windows were not included. These are snapshots at scheduled visits irrespective of delayed vaccinations, unlike the visits defined in Primary Outcome 1. The study was designed separately for the two study populations (Groups A and B), and the analysis was conducted separately, as prespecified in the study protocol and Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP). In Group A, two-sided 97.5% confidence intervals (CI) were specified for the SPR differences between study arms (presented in the Statistical Analyses sections below). In Group B, two-sided 95% Wilson CIs around the single-arm estimates were specified (presented in the Data Table below).

Time frame: Weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 28, 32 (Group A 3-CpG and 3-alum and Group B), 48 (Group A 3-CpG and 3-alum and Group B), 52 (Group A 2-CpG) and 72. The visit schedule differed between the study arms.
