Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary study parameter is the efficacy of the HBAI20 vaccination for non-responders. To this end, the immunogenicity of the HBAI20 vaccine will be measured by median antibody titre, GMT, GMT gain and seroprotection. Seroprotection is defined as a fourfold increase in titer or a conversion of seronegative to a virus antibody titre of * 10 mlU/ml. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary study parameter is the safety of the HBAI20 vaccine, in which the number and intensity of local and systemic side effects is investigated. | — |
