简要总结

The objectives are

  1. to determine the immunological profile (CD4+, CD8+ cells, DTH) induced by immunization with HCV antigen peptide vaccine with polyarginine.
  2. to document virological (HCV-RNA) and biochemical (ALT) responses following immunization with HCV antigen peptide vaccine with polyarginine.
  3. to assess the safety of immunization with HCV antigen peptide vaccine with polyarginine.

详细描述

This is a double blind, randomized, parallel group, controlled, multicenter phase II study.

60 patients will be enrolled and assigned to one of the 5 dose or control groups. Each study group will include 8 patients.

Each patient will receive a total of 6 injections according to the dose of the assigned study group. The injections will be administered subcutaneously in the upper arm once every four weeks for 5 months, i.e. at days 1, 29, 57, 85, 113 and 141.

The volume of each injection will be 0.5 ml in all groups.
