Immune Response After Booster Vaccination in HIV - Infected Patients Who Received Rabies Primary Vaccination

October 19, 2015 updated by: Suda Sibunruang, Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute

Immune Response After Booster Vaccination in HIV - Infected Patients Who Ever Received Rabies Primary Vaccination

Booster rabies vaccination in HIV - infected patients who have ever received rabies primary vaccination could improve their immune response to this kind of vaccine.

Study Overview

Completed

Conditions

Detailed Description

The investigators have learned from the previous studies that some HIV-infected patients especially those with low CD4+ T-lymphocyte count had poor antibody response to rabies vaccination. Because of the role of the memory B cell, the investigators hypothesized that primary rabies immunization in HIV-infected patients could rise rapid anamnestic antibody response to ones after booster vaccination in case of re-exposure of rabies occur despite of their immunocompromised state.

  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Rabies vaccines on day 0 and 3
Cell culture Rabies vaccines on day 0 and 3
All subjects would receive conventional intramuscular booster rabies vaccination on day 0 and 3. Their blood would be drawn for rabies neutralizing antibody on day 0,7,14,30,90,180,360

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rabies Neutralizing Antibody Titers
Time Frame: Day 360

Rabies Neutralizing Antibody titers(RNab)of HIV-infected patients who receive booster rabies vaccination would be measured by Rapid Fluorescent Focus Inhibition Test(RFFIT) method at day 0, 7, 14, 28, 90,180 and 360. RNab level above 0.5 IU/ml indicate acceptable protective antibody response.

for 7 times in 1 year.
