Brief summary
Hepatitis B prevention in non-responders uraemic patients is currently based on both HBsAg surveillance and the isolation from HBsAg carriers. A more immunogenic vaccine would be a benefit for this population.
Detailed description
Study participants will receive either Henogen's adjuvanted hepatitis B vaccine or Aventis Pasteur's hepatitis B vaccine. The study involves a total of 4 visits and blood samples will taken at each of these visits.
Interventions
HB-AS02V (20µg HBsAg) will be administered at Month 0 and 1
HBVAXPRO vaccine (40µg HBsAg) will be administered at Month 0 and 1
