Efficacy of Tenofovir Disoproxil on Mother-to-child Transmission of HBV in Tokombéré, Cameroon in Pregnant Women

Conditions: Hepatitis B Virus - Chronic Active

Sex: Female
Ages: 16 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: PHASE4
Enrollment: 150
Sponsor: ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases

Location: Hôpital Privé de Tokombéré Tokonbéré

Summary

Pregnant women with HBeAg-positive viral hepatitis b or high viral load will receive Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) from the 28th week of amenorrhoea until 6 weeks after delivery. Their newborns will receive the hepatitis B vaccine, starting with one dose at birth and followed by three booster doses, according to the Expanded Programme on Immunisation. The investigators hypothesise that a short course of TDF could greatly reduce the risk of HBV MTCT in pregnant women at high risk of MTCT (HBeAg positive or with high viral load).
