Novel vaccine passes phase II trial in virally suppressed CHB
Therapeutic vaccination with ChAdOx1-HBV/MVA-HBV (VTP-300) has generated CD4+ and CD8+ cells and reduced HBsAg in a subset of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with baseline values <100 IU/ml, as shown in a phase Ib/IIa trial. Moreover, a significant decrease in surface antigen occurs when the vaccine is combined with low-dose nivolumab.
