Filter by:The main objective of this proposal is to develop and test the efficacy of two interventions (a telehealth and face-to-face intervention) designed to improve quality of life, self-care, motivation to engage in healthcare, and psychological distress in patients diagnosed with HCV and PTSD. It is hypothesized that
The purpose of this study was to describe the time course and extent of hemoglobin (Hb) changes and the erythropoietic response to PEG-IFN/RBV-induced anemia In HCV-infected subjects.
The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of a 6-session hepatitis C self-management workshop to a hepatitis C self-management self-study program. Both interventions are designed to help people with hepatitis C learn to actively self-manage their chronic HCV infection, and ultimately, to improve health outcomes for veterans with HCV who are not receiving Interferon-based treatment. Participants complete a total of four assessments. The fourth assessment, a 12-18 month assessment is an approved addition to the original study design
Two doses each of Hepatitis A Vaccine, Inactivated and Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella [Oka/Merck] Virus Vaccine Live will be given concomitantly or non-concomitantly. Safety data will be collected following each vaccination.
This is a phase IV, 2-year, multi-center, single arm and open-label study, evaluating the efficacy and safety with using local manufactured adefovir dipivoxil in Chinese subjects with HBeAg negative chronic hepatitis B
Patients with chronic hepatitis C who did not respond to previous antiviral treatment develop liver fibrosis leading to cirrhosis. Maintenance low dose pegylated interferon therapy of fibrosis is currently under investigation in large multicenter trials. The aim of our study is to assess if peginterferon alpha2b plus ribavirin is more efficient than peginterferon alpha2b alone. 454 patients will be randomized between the 2 arms and the efficacy will be assessed, after 3 years of treatment, on Metavir liver fibrosis score improvement.
Hepatitis B Vaccine [Recombinant] is a well-established vaccine which has been used extensively, worldwide since its initial licensure in 1986. Hepatitis B vaccines: [1] induce protection against the morbidity and mortality of acute hepatitis B virus infection, [2] reduce the incidence of chronic infection in vaccinated populations, and [3] thereby, reduce the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma. The purpose of the trial is to assess if the new manufacturing process of the Hepatitis B Vaccine [Recombinant] vaccine shows the same level of hepatitis B antibody response or better as the currently licensed Hepatitis B Vaccine [Recombinant] vaccine. This study will also confirm that the new process vaccine is as well tolerated as the current vaccine.
The response rate to interferon-based anti-viral therapy for chronic hepatitis C is lower in patients who are obese. However, it is not clear whether this is related to suboptimal dosing of the medication or alterated response in obese patients. Alterated immune response had been reported in obese patients. The goal of current study is to determine the immune response to interferon in obese compared to non-obese chronic hepatitis C in an tissue culture system.
The purpose of this study is to compare the reactogenicity & safety of Tritanrix™-HepB/Hib-MenAC vaccine to the international standard of care, Tritanrix™-HepB/Hiberix™.
The purpose of the study is to demonstrate consistent results in 3 production lots of Hib-MenAC vaccine when extemporaneously mixed with Tritanrix™-HepB and administered as a single injection, with respect to immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity. Tritanrix™-HepB/Hiberix™ given alone and Wyeth Lederle's meningococcal C conjugate vaccine (Meningitec™), given concomitantly with Tritanrix™-HepB/Hiberix™ will be used as benchmark vaccines for all antigens except for MenA. The immunogenicity of MenA will also be evaluated.
