Table 4.

Expected and actual HLA phenotypic frequencies by treatment arm and HLA group.

HLA group Vaccine arm
Placebo arm
Expected Actual Expected Actual
Protective 30% (22/73) 44% (32/73) 31% (11/37) 16% (6/37)
Neutral 62% (45/73) 49% (36/73) 61% (23/37) 73% (27/37)
Unfavorable 8% (6/73) 7% (5/73) 8% (3/37) 11% (4/37)

NOTE. Expected phenotypic frequencies based on A5197 ethnic distribution and calculated from HLA alleleic frequencies of U.S.-based cohorts of European Americans and African Americans (M. Carrington personal communication), and Hispanic and Asian Americans [1, 2].
