NCT ID NCT00670839

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a double-dose hepatitis B vaccine (40 micrograms) works better than the standard dose (20 micrograms) in people with HIV who did not respond to earlier hepatitis B shots. The goal was to see if the stronger dose could help their immune system produce enough antibodies to prevent infection. The trial involved 178 participants and compared the two vaccination schedules over several months.
