To determine if HIV hyperimmune globulin (HIVIG) given to HIV-positive pregnant women during the second and third trimester of pregnancy reduced the likelihood of maternal-fetal HIV transmission.
Several studies have identified maternal, obstetrical, and infant characteristics associated with perinatal transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). However, these studies were conducted primarily before the widespread use of zidovudine for the prevention of perinatal transmission. Few studies have identified risk factors for transmission among HIV-1–infected women and infants who are receiving zidovudine, yet such information is critical to the development of new interventions to reduce the risk of perinatal transmission further.
A total of 501 HIV-1–infected women who were 20 to 30 weeks pregnant, who had CD4+ lymphocyte counts of no more than 500 per cubic millimeter, and who were receiving zidovudine as prescribed by their physicians. Of these, 4 were lost to follow-up before delivery, resulting in a study population of 497 women. There were 505 live-born infants, including 9 sets of twins and 487 singletons, and 1 stillborn infant.
The study was a multicenter, randomized, controlled phase 3 clinical trial conducted between October 1993 and March 1997 at 53 clinical sites in the contiguous United States and Puerto Rico. Study investigators evaluated whether prophylaxis with zidovudine combined with HIV-1 hyperimmune globulin (HIVIG) at a dose of 200 mg per kilogram of body weight administered intravenously to the women each month during pregnancy and once to the neonates at birth would lower the risk of perinatal HIV-1 transmission more than would zidovudine and intravenous infusions of immune globulin without HIV-1 antibody, at a dose of 200 mg per kilogram. Detailed information on antenatal and obstetrical variables was collected during the trial, and laboratory assays were performed at several points during the women's pregnancies to determine maternal plasma levels of HIV-1 RNA, viral titers in quantitative cultures of peripheral-blood mononuclear cells, CD4+ lymphocyte counts, and quantitative HIV-1 p24 antibody levels. This allowed evaluation of the independent contribution of potential risk factors for perinatal transmission of HIV-1 in a population of women and infants who received zidovudine.
The unexpectedly low transmission confirmed that zidovudine prophylaxis is highly effective, even for women with advanced HIV disease and prior zidovudine therapy, although it limited the study's ability to address whether passive immunization diminishes perinatal transmission (J Infect Dis 1999: 179: 567-75). There were no significant differences between the group that received HIV-1 hyperimmune globulin and the group that received intravenous immune globulin with respect to base-line maternal, obstetrical, and infant characteristics or rates of HIV-1 transmission. Since the rates of perinatal HIV-1 transmission and the clinical and laboratory characteristics were similar in the two groups, data for all women were combined in all subsequent analyses of risk factors. The maternal plasma HIV-1 RNA level was the best predictor of the risk of perinatal transmission of HIV-1. Antiretroviral therapy that reduces the HIV-1 RNA level to below 500 copies per milliliter appears to minimize the risk of perinatal transmission as well as improve the health of the women (NEJM 1999; 341:385-393).
