Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In a population of cirrhotics patients who did not responde to an anti-HBV vaccination according to the recommended vaccination, the goal is to :

Describe the proportion of patients with HBs antibody levels greater than 10mUI/mL at 1 month of the last injection of vaccine ; with a M0-M1-M6 vaccine regimen using 3 vaccines strategies :

* After simple intramuscular vaccine (IM) ( Control group )
* After simple intradermal vaccine
* after IMIQUIMOD's application followed by intradermal vaccine administration

The main hypothesis of this study is : IMIQUIMOD acts as an immunity booster, so the combination of IMIQUIMOD with an intra-dermal injection of the anti-HBV vaccine allows better acquisition of post-vaccination immunization.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will be in a population of Cirrhotic patients who have already received a HBV vaccination with a conventional regimen and who have not responded (characterized by a level of antibody Hbs \< 10UI/ml at the end of the vaccine regimen).

In current recommendations, up to 3 additional injections of HBV vaccine should be injected to obtain an antibody level\> 10 mIU / ml.

In this study, the investigator will describe the proportion of patients with HBs antibody levels greater than 10mUI/mL at 1 month of the last injection of vaccine ; with a M0-M1-M6 vaccine regimen using 3 vaccines strategies :

* After simple intramuscular vaccine (IM) ( Control group )
* After simple intradermal vaccine
* after IMIQUIMOD's application followed by intradermal vaccine administration
