Trial Comparing Three Strategies of Vaccination Against the Virus of Hepatitis B in HIV Infected Patients
France437 participantsStarted 2007-06
Plain-language summary
In HIV infected patients, individuals exposed to the virus of Hepatitis B are more susceptible to develop a chronic and severe liver disease with a major risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer.
However, the existing protocol of vaccination against Hepatitis B is less efficient in HIV-infected patients than in non HIV-infected-patients, and, in case of response, its longevity has to be followed up carefully. This study compares the efficacy of the standard protocol vaccination with GenHevac-B and 2 other protocols, a double-dose of GenHevac-B and a set of intradermal injections of Genhevac-B, in HIV-infected patients with lymphocytes T CD4 level above 200 permm3.
