Detaljeret beskrivelse
This is a single-visit study designed to collect serum samples from women who previously participated in the GBS6 clinical trial, "A placebo-controlled clinical trial investigating the safety and immunogenicity of GBS6 in pregnant women with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and their infants" (GBS6 trial). The purpose of this follow-up study is to obtain serum samples for the development of Quality Control Sera (QCS) and Assay Bridging (AB) panels to support long-term quality control and performance monitoring of the GASTON immunoassay.
The GBS6 trial enrolled 300 pregnant women between October 2022 and July 2023 at Kawempe National Referral Hospital and Kisenyi Health Centre IV. The last participant completed follow-up on 23 October 2024. Of these, 150 participants (75 living with HIV and 75 not living with HIV) were randomized to receive either the GBS6 vaccine or placebo (normal saline). The GBS6 vaccine is a capsular polysaccharide conjugate vaccine targeting the six most common disease-causing GBS serotypes.
For this follow-up study, only participants who received the GBS6 vaccine and are not living with HIV (n=75) will be contacted via telephone using the contact details provided in the GBS6 trial records. Each consenting participant will attend a single study visit for serum collection. Collected samples will be shipped to the City, St George's laboratory for antibody screening. The GASTON assay will measure IgG concentrations for serotypes Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, and V. Based on these results, samples will be ranked by IgG values, and an appropriate pooling strategy will be developed to generate the QCS and AB panels.

Women not living with HIV, who received the GBS6 vaccine GBS6 Clinical Trial in Kampala, Uganda
Women not living with HIV, who received the GBS6 vaccine in the "a placebo-controlled clinical trial investigating the safety and immunogenicity of GBS6 in pregnant women with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and their infants" (GBS6) Clinical Trial in Kampala, Uganda. The GBS6 trial enrolled 300 pregnant women between October 2022 and July 2023. Of these, 150 participants (75 living with HIV and 75 not living with HIV) were randomized to receive either the GBS6 vaccine (a capsular polysaccharide conjugate vaccine targeting the six most common disease-causing GBS serotypes) or placebo (normal saline). For this follow-up study, only participants who received the GBS6 vaccine and are not living with HIV (n=75) will be contacted via telephone using the contact details provided in the GBS6 trial records. Each consenting participant will attend a single study visit for serum collection. |
50mls of blood will be collected from all participants who give consent.

Creation of a quality control and bridging panels for the GBS multiplex immunoassay (GASTON assay)
Tidsramme: 1 year
|
Approx 50mL of blood will be collected from each study participant and will be used only for the development of QCS and AB panels.
Blood samples will be processed and serum stored at -20C in Kampala, Uganda.
The serum will be transferred to the City St George's, University of London laboratory, in the United Kingdom (UK), where the serum will be assayed for GBS6 serotype-specific anti-capsular antibodies using the GASTON multiplex anti-CPS IgG immunoassay.
Concentrations of anti-capsular IgG for the 6 serotypes (Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, and V) will be determined and a serum pooling strategy developed to produce a QCS panel consisting of three samples that span high, medium and low IgG values for each serotype and a 22- member bridging panel that will span the range of the assay for all serotypes.
The QC panels will be distributed to members of the GASTON consortium for the purpose of assay performance monitoring until they are depleted.
