About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Immunologic Memory Following Pneumococcal, Hepatitis B, and Measles Vaccination in HIV Infected Children Treated With Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART)

The purpose of this study is to determine immune system function following vaccination in HIV-infected children currently taking anti-HIV drugs. To test the effectiveness of prior vaccination, patients in this study will receive booster shots of one of two pneumococcal vaccines, a hepatitis B vaccine, and a measles vaccine.

Read the detailed description

With their immunocompromised status, HIV-infected children are at especially high risk for opportunistic infections, including infection by Streptococcus pneumoniae, hepatitis B, and measles. In PACTG P1024, HIV-infected children taking highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) received 2 doses of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), 1 dose of the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV), and booster shots of the hepatitis B vaccine (HBV) and measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR). Early responses to these vaccinations were favorable, but with declining antibody responses within the 18 months after vaccination. It is unknown if additional booster vaccinations in these children will result in a protective immunologic memory upon re-exposure to these pathogens. This study will determine whether HIV-infected children on HAART have evidence of specific immunologic memory 3 to 4 years after vaccination in PACTG P1024.

Patients will be randomly assigned to receive PCV or PPV at study entry. All eligible patients will also receive HBV and MMR at study entry. Patients will be monitored in the clinic for 1 hour after vaccination for any adverse effects. Study staff will contact patients by phone around Day 3 after study entry to ask patients if they have experienced any adverse effects to the vaccinations; patients who received MMR at study entry will be contacted again around Day 21. Some patients may be asked to return to the clinic for further evaluation if they experience side effects.

There will be study visits at study entry and Days 7 and 28. Medical history, a physical exam, blood collection, and an assessment of HIV-related symptoms will occur at all visits. HAART will not be provided by this study.

    Measured: At study entry

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Seropositivity, as determined by antibody levels

    Measured: At study entry and Days 7 and 28

  2. Immunologic memory, as determined by primary and secondary responses, antibody levels, and additional measures of immunologic memory

    Measured: Throughout study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pneumococcal 7-valent conjugate vaccine, Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine and Hepatitis B vaccine in people with HIV Infections, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 26 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 23 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 1 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. 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?

Grade 3 or greater hematologic and chemistry laboratory values, signs, or symptoms not present, as specified by the protocol (time frame: At study entry). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00257127, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 1 Nov 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
