N2 - Background: This phase III, randomized, clinical trial compared single-dose nevirapine (sdNVP) plus HIV hyperimmune globulin (HIVIGLOB) with sdNVP alone for preventing maternal-to-child transmission of HIV. Primary objectives were to determine rates of HIV infection among infants and to assess the safety of HIVIGLOB in combination with sdNVP in HIV-infected Ugandan pregnant women and their infants. Methods: Mother-infant pairs were randomized to receive 200 mg of nevirapine to women in labor and 2 mg/kg NVP to newborns within 72 hours after birth (sdNVP arm) or to receive sdNVP plus a single intravenous 240-mL dose of HIVIGLOB given to women at 36-to 38-week gestation and a single intravenous 24-mL dose to newborns within 18 hours of birth (HIVIGLOB/sdNVP arm). Risk of HIV infection was determined using Kaplan-Meier and risk ratio estimates at birth, 2, 6, 14 weeks, 6, and 12 months of age. Results: Intent-to-treat analysis included 198 HIVIGLOB/sdNVP and 294 sdNVP mother-infant pairs. At 6 months of age, the primary endpoint, there was no statistically significant difference in HIV transmission in the HIVIGLOB/sdNVP arm vs. the sdNVP arm [18.7% vs. 15.0%; risk ratio = 1.240 (95% confidence interval: 0.833 to 1.846); P = 0.290]. Similarly, the proportion of serious adverse events in the HIVIGLOB/sdNVP and sdNVP arms, respectively, for mothers (18.9% vs. 19.3%; P = 0.91) and infants (62.6% vs. 59.5%; P = 0.51) was not significantly different. Conclusions: Giving mother-infant pairs an infusion of peripartum HIV hyperimmune globulin in addition to sdNVP for preventing maternal-to-child transmission was as safe as sdNVP alone but was no more effective than sdNVP alone in preventing HIV transmission.
