Abstract
Trial registration: NTR1043
<http://www.trialregister.nl/trialreg/admin/rctview.asp?TC=1043>. BACKGROUND:
Five to ten percent of immunocompetent persons fail to develop a protective
immune response to hepatitis B vaccination, and are defined non-responders
(NR). We investigated the immune response to intradermal hepatitis B
vaccination after pre-treatment of the skin with the TLR7 agonist imiquimod.
METHODS: Twenty-one non-responders (anti-HBs <10IU/l after at least 6
intramuscular hepatitis B vaccinations) were randomly assigned to the control
group (N=11) or the experimental group (N=10). Participants in both groups
received 3 intradermal (ID) vaccinations with 5mug HBsAg (0.125mL) at 0, 1 and
6 months. In the experimental group, the dermal site of injection was
pre-treated with 250mg imiquimod ointment. Anti-HBs antibodies were determined
at 0, 1, 2, 6 and 7 months. RESULTS: In both study groups, 70% of the
participants developed a protective immune response (anti-HBs>/=10IU/l), after
the 3rd intradermal vaccination. CONCLUSION: The application of imiquimod on
the skin prior to intradermal vaccination did not enhance the humoral response
to hepatitis B vaccine. However, irrespective of imiquimod application, 70% of
the NR who had not responded to 6 previous intramuscular vaccinations,
developed a protective immune response with high affinity antibodies after 3
ID hepatitis B vaccinations with 5mug HBsAg. Copyright © 2010. Published by
