Filter by:To evaluate for the presence of HCV Core protein, HCV RNA and SPP in the placenta and fetal membranes using paraffin-embedded sections and post-delivery specimens respectively. In parallel, we will assess placental tissue for evidence of HCV infection using a novel in situ hybridization technique and translate our in vitro findings to these in vivo samples. Our overall hypothesis is that cytotrophoblasts at the maternal-fetal interface within the placenta serve as a "barrier" that must be crossed during vertical transmission and that cytotrophoblasts are permissive to HCV at a low level that may be enhanced under certain conditions. By comparing the regulation of key steps in the intracellular life cycle of HCV in cytotrophoblasts to highly permissive hepatocytes, significant differences in HCV regulation should be revealed. Based on our preliminary data, our working hypothesis is that HCV Core protein is differentially processed in cytotrophoblasts compared to hepatocytes.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the production, effects and interactions of the hepato-protective cytokine interleukine (IL)-22 in patients with alcoholic hepatitis.
The aim of this study is to prove the superiority of entecavir over lamivudine for preventing the risk of hepatitis B virus reactivation in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma on CHOP/R-CHOP.
To assess the effects of Acetyl-L-Carnitine administration on work productivity, daily activity, and fatigue in subjects with chronic hepatitis C treated with Pegylated-Interferon-α2b and Ribavirin.
This is a multicenter, double blind, active-controlled, randomized, parallel group study to demonstrate the anti-viral activity and safety of Baracle Tab. and Baraclude Tab. for patients with HBeAg Chronic Hepatitis B. The subject will receive two tablets daily for 48 days.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ABT-450/ritonavir/ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267; ABT-450 also known as paritaprevir; ABT-267 also known as ombitasvir) and ABT-333 (also known as dasabuvir) coadministered with ribavirin (RBV) in hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1-infected adults taking methadone or buprenorphine ± naloxone.
This is a prospective randomized, open-label, phase IV clinical trial to learn the effects, good and/or bad, of discontinuing or continuing nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) treatment for 72 weeks in participants with chronic hepatitis B infection whose immune system is controlling the amount of virus levels in the blood for at least 12 months of NA therapy. About 66 adult men and women will participate in this study from University Health Network which includes the Toronto Western Hospital for about 72 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to compare the liver toxicity in HIV-infected patients with chronic hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C, who start a new antiretroviral drug regimen, as well as the influence of the degree of pre-existing liver fibrosis on the incidence of liver toxicity.
This dose-escalating study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of different doses of a new bio-product Pegylated Recombinant Consensus Interferon Variant Solution for Injection (PEG-IFN-SA) and Ribavirin（RBV） in the treatment of Chronic hepatitis C who have not been previously treated with Interferon(IFN) by exploring the dose-effect relationship, while identity the optimal dose for phase Ⅲ study. In addition, population pharmacokinetic method is adopted to assess the pharmacokinetic behavior, individuals / intra-individual variability, and the possible factors for further study.
Antiviral prophylaxis can prevent the risk of biologic agents-associated HBV reactivation in hepatitis B inactive carriers and patients with past HBV infection
