Protocols of 3 placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind clinical trials to assess the efficacy of an inactivated hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine in dialysis patients and staff and in male homosexuals are described. Based on the projected attack rates of HBV in the controls, vaccine efficacy and rates of loss to follow-up, over 3000 participants followed for at least 12 mo. are required to prove the efficacy of the vaccine. The results of long-term baseline studies in these populations are reviewed.
