Immune response induced by the recombinant novel coronavirus vaccine (Adenovirus type 5 vector) (Ad5-nCoV) in persons living with HIV (PLWH)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Despite higher risk of poorer outcomes and potential sub-optimal vaccine effectiveness, people living with HIV (PLWH) are underrepresented in SARS-CoV-2 vaccine trials. We evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of the Ad5-nCoV vaccine (CanSino Biologics Inc./The Beijing Institute of Biotechnology) in PLWH. METHODS: In this single arm, open-label Phase 2b trial, PLWH were enrolled in Argentina. Participants received two doses of Ad5-nCoV vaccine (intramuscular, dosage 5x1010 viral particles) at days 0 and 56. The primary outcomes were safety as serious adverse events [SAE], solicited and unsolicited local and systemic adverse events, impact on HIV viral load and CD4 counts and immunogenicity measured by S-RBD IgG and pseudo-virus neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) up to 52 weeks (ClinicalTrials.gov:NCT05005156). FINDINGS: Between June 2021-January 2022, 140 PLWH received at least one dose of Ad5-nCoV vaccine. At baseline, the majority were on antiretroviral therapy (99.3%), virologically suppressed (93.6%), with a median (IQR) CD4-cell count:736 (531-946) cells/ul. At baseline, 38 (27%) participants were seropositive for S-RBD antibodies, and 40 (28%) for nAbs. There were no SAEs related to the vaccine. Solicited AE within 7 days after first and second dose occurred in 93 (69%) and 75 (60%) participants, mostly grade 1, included pain, drowsiness and headache. The incidence of unsolicited AE within 28 days of vaccination was 10.7%. There were no significant changes in plasma viral load, CD4 count, CD4/CD8 ratio and no new AIDS-defining illnesses were reported. There were significant increases in the geometric mean titers (GMT) of S-RBD and nAbs between baseline to week 52. Seroconversion rates 28 days after the first and second doses (day 84) were 80% and 94% for S-RBD, and 35% and 78% for nAbs. INTERPRETATION: The Ad5-nCoV vaccine was safe and induced an adequate immune response in virologically suppressed PLWH, maintaining high antibody titers at least during the first year post-vaccination. No significant changes were observed in plasma viral load, CD4 count and CD4/CD8 ratio.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
