About

A single center, open labeled phase I/IIa study to evaluate safety, tolerability and efficacy of a therapeutic hepatitis B vaccine in oral antiviral drug-treated chronic hepatitis B virus carriers

Full description

  • Objectives: To explore the appropriate dose of a therapeutic hepatitis B vaccine through the evaluation of safety, tolerability, and efficacy
  • Subjects: Chronic hepatitis B carrier with normal ALT range
  • Study hypothesis: The immune tolerance break and strong immune responses in the chronic hepatitis B carrier could be achieved with therapeutic hepatitis B vaccine containing novel adjuvant
