Funded Activity Summary

Injecting drug users (IDU) are a key target group for new vaccines designed to prevent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. This study will establish the feasibility of conducting HCV vaccine trials in IDUs by answering key scientific questions, generating data to inform trial design and evaluation, establishing a partnership between leading international researchers and the peak Australian body for people who inject drugs, and providing the foundation for a global HCV prevention trial network.
