Filter by:Given the disproportionately high risk of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the baby boomer cohort, population-based screening has been demonstrated cost effective. Compared to point-of-care testing, however, bulk health messages with coupled lab requisitions delivered directly to patients meeting screening criteria via patient portals could improve HCV screening at minimal cost.
With 2.5% prevalence in general population, Pakistan is an intermediate endemicity country for hepatitis B. However, wide disparity exists across the country as disease prevalence in general population soars as high as 14% in hyper endemic areas. This hyper endemicity increases the risk of acquiring infection via vertical and horizontal routes of disease transmission. National immunization schedule in Pakistan administers the first vaccine against hepatitis B at 6th week after infant birth. Owing to this 6 week interlude the existing immunization schedule may not provide adequate protection to a newborn against the disease. A monovalent hepatitis B vaccination shot, administered within 12 hours of birth, is the preferred strategy for disease control in hyper endemic areas. The National Immunization Technical Advisory Groups around the world are expected to use rigorous scientific evidence and make changes in the immunization schedule and vaccine dosage, responding to the evolving epidemiology of childhood diseases. Such research on local evidence for hepatitis B vaccine in Pakistan is not available and our research fills this gap by This research studied the hepatitis B vaccine response, in two cohorts of healthy infants. An open labeled, randomized controlled, non-inferiority, vaccine trial methodology was used. Margin of non non-inferiority (Δ) was set at 5%. The trial administered hepatitis B birth dose as an intervention and vaccination done under the national immunization schedule was taken as standard of care.
Portal hypertension (PH) is one of the key drivers of clinical deteoration in patients with liver cirrhosis. It has been demonstrated that antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection leads to a decrease of PH and is associated with an improved outcome. Recently, Bulevirtide was approved for the treatment of patients coinfected with hepatitis B (HBV) and chronic hepatitis delta (HDV) infection, which helps to achieve viral supression in these patients. This study investigates the potential effects of viral supression on PH in patients with chronic HBV/HDV infection and liver cirrhosis.
This is a phase 2 study in which participants with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection will receive VIR-2218, VIR-3434 and/or PEG-IFNα and be assessed for safety, tolerability, and efficacy
To investigate the safety and efficacy of tenofovir alafenamide (orally 25 mg per day) treated in inactive chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected pregnant women with high viral load from the late pregnancy until the delivery date or postpartum 1 month.
This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi center, dose ranging study of safety and efficacy in both volunteers with chronic hepatitis B virus infection and in volunteers with hepatitis D virus coinfection. Volunteers will be administered multiple oral doses of ATI-2173 and assessed for safety and efficacy including blood tests to show how the body metabolizes and eliminates the investigational drug as well as how the drug effects the virus infection.
Current clinical practices has shown promising prospects of the therapy strategy of interferon combined with nucleos(t)ides in patients with chronic hepatitis B, but the safety and efficacy has not been fully studied. This study is aimed to exploit the safety and efficacy of the study drug, Peginterferon alfa-2b injection, with nucleos(t)ide (NAs), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets (TDF), in the patients with hepatitis B, who has previously treated with nucleos(t)ides and who are treatment naïve.
Unmethylated cystine-guanosine dinucleotide (CpG) motifs are pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) associated with bacterial and viral-derived DNA that activate the innate and humoral immunity via toll-like receptor 9. This is a randomized controlled pilot study evaluating the clinical and immune correlates of a seroprotective immune response against a CpG-adjuvanted vaccine for hepatitis B.
The purpose of this study is to determine if vebicorvir (VBR, ABI-H0731) in combination with AB-729 is safe and effective in participants with chronic hepatitis B infection (cHBV) receiving a standard of care nucleos(t)ide/reverse transcriptase inhibitor (SOC NrtI).
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the major cause of chronic liver disease and has a long-term resultant complications4 and it considered as a major endemic medical health problem in Egypt. It affects multiple organs and reflect various manifestations on oral cavity.The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of oral mucosa conditions, type of oral manifestation and gingival lesions in patients with hepatitis C
