About this study

Official title: Analysis of Non-vaccination Factors Against Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) in Drug Users Consulting at the Croix-rousse Drug Addict Care Center (Annuaire Centres de Soins, d'Accompagnement et de prévention en Addictologie (CSAPA))

Hepatitis B is one of the major public health problems in the world. According to World Health Organization (WHO) data, about 2 billion people have been in contact with the hepatitis B virus (HBV), and 257 million have chronic HBV infection.

Although France is a low endemic country, with just over 280,000 people with chronic infection, hepatitis B remains a public health problem due to its morbidity and mortality.

Drug users are a population at risk by their consumption practices (injection or sniffing), but also by other high-risk behaviours, particularly sexual behaviours.

Prevention therefore involves securing consumption practices (sterile and single-use equipment) and protection of sexual intercourse, but also by vaccination (protecting more than 90%).

Since 1982, HAS has recommended to systematically vaccinate drug users. However, according to the Marmottan study published in 2003, immunization coverage among drug addicts was already insufficient in 1999 (45.3%) and decreased again in 2000 and 2001 (15.6 and 21.7%).

This decrease can be explained by the controversy around the potential link, now refuted, between vaccine against HBV and demyelination, which has stopped the mass vaccination campaign launched by the French health authorities in 1995.

A study conducted between 2009 and 2012 on injecting drug users in Alsace, estimated vaccination coverage at 28%.

The hypothesize is that despite the recommendations in a population at high risk of contamination, and a balance of benefits and risks in favor of vaccination, vaccination coverage against the hepatitis B virus remains insufficient among drug users because of poor vaccination acquaintance, and hepatitis B in general, in this population.

Principal objective of this study is to identify non-vaccination factors against hepatitis B virus among drug users consulting at the Croix-Rousse CSAPA.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adult Patients Drug Users and Substituted / Weaned or Not, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

comparison of the characteristics of patients vaccinated and unvaccinated against hepatitis B (time frame: One day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Sep 2019.
