Filter by:The purpose of this observational study is to compare two approved treatment regimen(s) containing boceprevir and telaprevir, as part of standard of care for the treatment of hepatitis C.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if nitazoxanide used in combination with interferon alfa and ribavirin is effective in treating Hepatitis c infected type 2 Diabetic patients by improving their sustained viral response by more than 80%.Considering that the study is being conducted in a third world country like Pakistan, the standard treatment of hepatitis C is not cost effective. The aim is to introduce a new treatment comparable in efficacy to peginterferon and also cost effective.
This study proposes to compare the effect of 48 weeks exposure to pegylated interferon alpha vs. nucleoside analogue (NA) on hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion and HBsAg levels in nucleoside analogue controlled HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients who have an undetectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral load at least 1 years.
Patients with alcoholic hepatitis non-responsive to steroids have a poor prognosis. Recently a French-Belgian prospective study has obtained good results (acceptable survival with a low rate of alcohol recidivism). The hypothesis of the present study is that carefully selected Spanish patients with alcoholic hepatitis that do not respond to steroid therapy may have a good survival if they receive a liver transplant. The expected rate of alcohol recidivism in such a selected population will be low.
With over 280 000 chronic carriers, 2,500 new annual cases and 1,300 deaths each year, hepatitis B is currently a frequent and potentially severe disease in France, despite efforts towards prevention and effective care. In terms of prevention, France has very low immunization coverage (27.7%) and a high percentage of people ignoring HBV status (55%), leading to a delay in care. This is partly explained by poor knowledge of hepatitis B infection in the general population and an underestimation of the health impact of hepatitis B by doctors and health officials. Until recently, there have been no national guidelines governing its implementation (which is variable depending on the structures where screening is performed) and an insufficient evaluation of screening practices. Thus, data on the severity of liver disease, indications for treatment of HBV-infected patients and data on the use of vaccination for nonimmunized people are scarce. Furthermore, while HIV rapid tests are beginning to be used more widely, particularly to address the issue of people who do not come back and collect their results and to better adapt "counselling", their usefulness to detect of hepatitis B virus has not been evaluated to date. The main objective of the Optiscreen B Study is to determine the benefit, if any, of using rapid tests as a screening tool to improve diagnosis, care and prevention of hepatitis B. Individuals risk of HBV-infection will be randomized into 2 groups, one group for which screening will be performed by usual serological test and a second group for which screening will be based on rapid tests. Centers will be selected to represent a diverse range of health centers whose aims include screening, prevention and/or vaccination.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and antiviral activity 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) with and without ribavirin (RBV) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1b (HCV GT1b) infection without cirrhosis.
The linkage between viral hepatitis and renal failure is complex. The current study aims to exlore the long-term prevalence of viral hepatitis among uremic patients in Taiwan
To assess the safety and tolerability of the use of telaprevir in the setting of post-exposure prophylaxis among HCW exposed to HCV genotype 1 or genotype 2. To assess the election rate of postexposure prophylaxis for HCV-related occupational exposures in HCW.
The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of prophylactic entecavir in HBsAg Negative/HBcAb Positive/hepatitis B virus DNA Negative patients with lymphoma.
The purpose of this study is to validate the first round HCV early dynamics discovery within a larger population.
