A Randomized, Open-Label Trial of Three Hepatitis B Vaccination Schemas in HIV-Positive Youth
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Engerix-B 20 mcg, Engerix-B 40 mcg, and 1 other intervention for HIV Infection and Hepatitis B. Completed, enrolled 371 participants across 11 sites in 3 countries.
Detailed Summary
Hepatitis B is a contagious virus that can damage a person's liver. It can be prevented by vaccination, but for many HIV-positive people, the vaccines do not help them achieve adequate protection against this virus. In an attempt to improve response to vaccination and achieve protection from hepatitis B, this trial will compare the immune system response to 3 hepatitis B vaccine regimens in HIV-positive adolescents 12 through 24 years of age.
