Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typeTreatment
Scientific titleTherapeutic vaccination for chronic hepatitis B virus infection in Africa
Study acronymHBSMVA
Study objectivesChronic Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection, therapeutic vaccines, Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) vaccine, recombinant modified vaccinia virus Ankara vaccine.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHepatitis B virus
InterventionThis trial will take place in five parts:
1. An open label study in five healthy volunteers, of modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA.HBs) (a novel vaccine for HBV), then an open label non-randomised study in healthy volunteers of Deoxyribonucleic Acid vaccine (DNA.HBs) (another novel vaccine for HBV).
2. A study in 32 male ‘e’ antigen negative chronic carriers of HBV - four way randomisation:
2.1. Lamivudine 100 mg orally (po) daily for 14 weeks
2.2. DNA.HBs 1 mg twice followed by MVA.HBs twice
2.3. Both lamivudine and DNA and MVA vaccinations
2.4. Rabies vaccine three times as a control
3. A study in 16 male ‘e’ antigen positive chronic carriers of HBV - two way randomisation:
3.1. DNA.HBs 1 mg twice followed by MVA.HBs twice
3.2. Both lamivudine and DNA and MVA vaccinations
4. A non-randomised study in 12 ‘e’ antigen negative chronic carriers of DNA.HBs 2 mg twice followed by 1.5 x 10^8 of MVA.HBs once.
5. A non-randomised study in 12 ‘e’ antigen positive chronic carriers of Lamivudine 100 mg daily and DNA.HBs 2 mg twice followed by 1.5 x 10^8 of MVA.HBs once.
