Trial summary

Vaccination coverage against HBV in France is around 30% in the adult population. Treatment with anti-CD20 is associated with a risk of reactivation of hepatitis B or acute or fulminant hepatitis in first-infected patients. HBV vaccination is recommended as before any anti-CD20 treatment in unimmunized patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pilot, Interventional Study of the Specific Anti-HBV Vaccine Response After Vaccination in Patients Requiring Anti-CD20 Monoclonal Antibodies

Vaccination coverage against HBV in France is around 30% in the adult population. Treatment with anti-CD20 is associated with a risk of reactivation of hepatitis B or acute or fulminant hepatitis in first-infected patients. HBV vaccination is recommended as before any anti-CD20 treatment in unimmunized patients.

However, there is no recommendation on which vaccination regimen to choose in patients on immunosuppressants / corticosteroids or with inflammatory or autoimmune disease.

For patients who have a need for rapid immunosuppressive therapy, the use of a standard vaccination schedule (D0, M1, M6) would be responsible for a loss of chance vis-à-vis the underlying disease with a delay of more than 6 months to start treatment with anti-CD20. An accelerated regimen (D0, D7, D21 and M12) allows healthy adults to obtain very rapid vaccine protection between 77 and 90.8%. The accelerated regimen can also be considered on a case-by-case basis in those adults with neurological pathologies, systemic vasculitis or autoimmune disease and who need to receive anti-CD20 antibodies if the combination of injections over a short period is likely to promote immunization.

The advantage of the accelerated regimen is to obtain 4 weeks, after the third dose of vaccine, anti-HBs antibodies at a protective level (> 10 IU / L) in approximately 77 to 90.8% of patients and in the general population. The booster injection at 12 months is essential for long-term protection.

Read the detailed description

An accelerated regimen allows healthy adults to obtain vaccine protection very quickly. The accelerated regimen can also be considered on a case-by-case basis in those adults with neurological pathologies, systemic vasculitis or autoimmune disease requiring an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody if the combination of injections over a short period is likely to promote immunization.

The aim of this pilot, interventional study is to evaluate the anti-HBV vaccine response measured by the level of anti-HBs antibodies greater than 10 IU / l after vaccination in patients to receive treatment with anti-CD20.

Evaluation of the specific anti-HBV vaccine response, measured by the level of anti-HBs antibodies greater than 10 IU / l at M2, M6 and M13 in patients having received a regimen accelerated by Engerix B 20 µg (D0, D7, J21), then recall 12 months later. Anti-CD20 drugs should be started at least 1 month after the first 3 injections for neurological pathologies and after the first 2 injections for vasculitis and autoimmune diseases (scheme linked to the underlying pathology with the need for rapid treatment with anti -CD20 in these pathologies).

Follow-up of 3 parallel cohorts of patients seronegative for hepatitis B virus (HBV):

  • 1 cohort followed for multiple sclerosis or another inflammatory neurological disease (group 1)
  • the cohort followed for systemic vasculitis (group 2)
  • 1 cohort followed for an autoimmune disease (RA, Lupus, etc.) (group 3) to receive treatment with anti-CD20 (rituximab or ocrelizumab) and to be vaccinated against hepatitis B.

The patients will be followed for a period of 13 months after the start of the vaccination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing o receive treatment with anti-CD20 (rituximab or ocrelizumab) and to be vaccinated against hepatitis B in people with HBV, run by Centre de Recherches et d'Etude sur la Pathologie Tropicale et le Sida at 1 site in France.

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 3 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 2 Feb 2024. 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 France. 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?

Measure of the specific anti-HBV vaccine response, assessed by the level of anti-HBs antibodies greater than 10 IU / l at M2, M6 and M13 (time frame: 13 months). 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 2 Feb 2024.
