Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pilot Study: Gene Expression Profiling of Immune Response to HBV Vaccination in Healthy Volunteers (NCT NCT02055365)

NCT ID: NCT02055365

Last Updated: 2018-05-07

Results Overview

Number of differentially expressed genes at time point versus prevaccination baseline (p\<0.05). Following Principal Components Analysis, data from one participant series was identified as a technical outlier and excluded from downstream analyses. Differential gene expression analysis was conducted with the voom/limma tools in the R statistical framework.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1, Day 3, Week 1, and Week 2

Population: All participants received the standard 3-dose course of Recombivax HB (Merck) - Hepatitis B Vaccine (Recombinant). RNA-Seq (RNA sequencing) data from whole blood (PAXgene) for 9 participants were analyzed for differential gene expression at day 1, day 3, week 1, and week 2 after administration of the Hepatitis B Vaccine (Recombinant) (dose #1).

Number of differentially expressed genes at time point versus prevaccination baseline (p\<0.05). Following Principal Components Analysis, data from one participant series was identified as a technical outlier and excluded from downstream analyses. Differential gene expression analysis was conducted with the voom/limma tools in the R statistical framework.

Population: All participants received the standard 3-dose course of Recombivax HB (Merck) - Hepatitis B Vaccine (Recombinant). RNA-Seq data from whole blood (PAXgene) for 9 participants were analyzed for differential gene expression at day 1, day 3, week 1, and week 2 after administration of the Hepatitis B Vaccine (Recombinant) (dose #1).

Number of significantly differentially expressed genes at time point versus prevaccination baseline (FDR\<0.05). Following Principal Components Analysis, data from one participant series was identified as a technical outlier and excluded from downstream analyses. Differential gene expression analysis was conducted with the voom/limma tools in the R statistical framework.
