Proof Of Concept : Immunogenicity and Safety of hepB Injection in the Dermis Using VAX-ID (POC_VAX-ID)

March 27, 2017 updated by: Novosanis NV

Proof Of Concept Study: Immunogenicity and Safety of Hepatitis B Injection in the Dermis in Healthy Volunteers Using an Intradermal Injection Device (VAX-ID)

A proof of concept (POC) study will be conducted in 44 volunteers that have been fully vaccinated against hepatitis B in the past (at least 5 years ago) to assess the safety and immunogenicity of intradermal vaccination with hepatitis B surface vaccine antigen using a newly developed intradermal injection device VAX-ID, compared to intramuscular and intradermal (Mantoux technique) injection.
