BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination is recommended for non-immunised patients with rheumatic diseases starting biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). There is some evidence that HBV vaccination is effective in patients under conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs), but it is currently unclear whether this also applies to bDMARDs. OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy and safety of HBV vaccination in patients with inflammatory arthritides treated with bDMARDs. METHODS: A prospective cohort with inflammatory arthritides treated with bDMARDs, negative for anti-HBs and anti-HBc and never vaccinated for HBV was recruited. Engerix B was administered at 0, 1 and 6 months and anti-HBs was reassessed ≥1 month after last dose. Response was defined as anti-HBs≥10 IU/L and compared against vaccinated healthy controls. Disease flare, serious adverse events and immune-related disorders not previously present were recorded. RESULTS: 62 patients, most treated with TNF inhibitors (TNFi), and 38 controls were recruited. Most patients were taking csDMARDs (67.7%) and were in remission/low disease activity (59.4%). Only 20/62 patients (32.3%) had a positive response to vaccination, in comparison to 36/38 age-matched controls (94.7%, p<0.001). Response was seen in 19/51 patients treated with TNFi (37.3%) and in 1/11 (9.1%) patients treated with non-TNFi (p=0.07), including 1/6 treated with tocilizumab (16.7%). Among TNFi, response rates ranged from 4/22 (18.2%) for infliximab to 8/14 (57.1%) for etanercept. No relevant safety issues were identified. CONCLUSIONS: HBV vaccination response in patients with rheumatic diseases treated with bDMARDs was poorer than expected. Our data reinforce the recommendation for vaccination prior to starting bDMARDs.
