Filter by:1. A subtype of Alcoholic hepatitis (AH), named severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH) is associated with high short-term mortality (J Hepatol, 2019) 2. The only SAH treatment option - corticosteroids (CS) - are often contraindicated or ineffective (STOPAH Trial) 3. New treatment modalities for remaining patients are much needed 4. Fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) is one of the promising therapies 5. Investigators aimed to see if FMT improves survival in patients admitted with SAH, not responding to-, or non-eligible for CS.
Modulation of the renin angiotensin system by the chronic hepatitis C virus treatment either by (Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir), (Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir plus Ribavirin), or (Ribavirin and Interferon) protocols could give an explanation for the low incidence of COVID-19 among Egyptian population. Adding it may play a role in COVID 19 prophylaxis.
This is an open label, randomized, parallel-group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination treatment BRII-835 (VIR-2218) and BRII-179 (VBI-2601) in adult participants with chronic HBV infection
Among the hemodialysis units, the global incidence of HCV infection ranges from 1.2% to 2.9%. Data regarding the long-term risk of reinfection among hemodialysis patients achieving SVR are limited. To our best knowledge, only one study assessed the long-term negativity of serum HCV RNA in hemodialysis patients who achieved SVR after IFN-based therapies. With a median follow-up of 48 months following SVR, the life-time cumulative survival for HCV RNA negativity was 86% among the 121 participants who were on maintenance dialysis. Furthermore, the life-time cumulative survival for HCV RNA negativity was 95% among the 45 participants who underwent renal transplantation from HCV-negative donors. Because the literatures regarding the long-term follow-up of viral outcome, the patient numbers to be recruited are still limited, and all studies are focused on IFN-based treatment, we aim to assess the long-term risk of HCV reinfection in hemodialysis patients attaining SVR by IFN-based or IFN-free therapies.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), listed among lung and breast cancers as the top-ten cancer in 2016 Taiwan, is the second most prevalent cancer, just one place below colon cancer. Due to mass hepatitis B vaccination and the screening and therapeutic plan against hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV, respectively), the incidence of liver cancer drops significantly, however, still around twenty out of per hundred thousand population die from liver cancer each year. For patients suffering HBV and HCV, the prevention of HCC is a crucial health issue.
The results of the GX device are equivalent to standard venous blood sampling. With this study we are going to determine the prevalence in drug users with difficult venous access. On the other hand, we want to look at the place this device can have in primary care.
This is a Phase II study in patients with advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) as a result of hepatitis B and/or C infection. Participants will be dosed with either MTL-CEBPA (an experimental treatment) and sorafenib or sorafenib alone. The MTL-CEBPA is administered once every 3 weeks via intravenous infusion. Sorafenib is taken orally from Day 8 for the combination group or Day 1 for the sorafenib alone group at a dose of 400 mg twice a day. Participants will receive 3 week cycles of treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or death occurs. The combination of MTL-CEBA and sorafenib combination of treatment was tested in a previous Phase I study (OUTREACH) which showed anti-tumour activity along with a good safety and toxicity profile.
Hepatitis B virus is an infection that can be easily transmitted from women to newborns at the time of delivery. Our objective is to identify novel options that are effective and safe in preventing perinatal transmission of hepatitis B in Africa. The REVERT-B study (Reducing Vertical Transmission of Hepatitis B in Africa) is a clinical trial designed to test a new strategy of using antiviral medication in high-risk pregnant women and newborns to reduce the risk of hepatitis B transmission. The study will measure efficacy, safety, tolerability and adherence to medication.
The aim of this study is evaluate the acceptability/usage of a newly implemented model of delivery of care, namely a community-pharmacy program, to provide access to medications to treat hepatitis C (HCV), and prevent overdose and HIV, for persons who inject drugs (PWID) with HCV who are in need of treatment. Adults will be enrolled who test positive for HCV at community sites and who agree to linkage to the community-pharmacy program through the use of patient navigators. The primary outcome of the study will be the measure of the number/% of participants who are successfully linked to the community-pharmacy program and assess HCV treatment initiation, completion, and cure. In addition, other outcomes including receipt of other medications (e.g. Naloxone, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and medications for opioid use disorders), and self-reported substance use and HIV risk behaviors will also be measured.
This study aims to assess the role of ribavirin as an adjuvant to sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir combination in retreatment of chronic hepatitis C with previous treatment failure.
