Filter by:The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of therapy with Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) Fixed-Dose Combination (FDC) and Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir/Voxilaprevir (SOF/VEL/VOX ) FDC in participants with chronic HCV infection.
Immunoprophylaxis failure of hepatitis B (HBV) remains a concern and has been reported in approximately 10-30% of infants born to highly viremic mothers with HBeAg-positive. Maternal HBV DNA >6log10 copies/mL (or 200,000 IU/mL) is the major independent risk for mother-to-child transmission (MTCT). Two recent random controlled trial (RCT) studies have shown that the use of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) in highly viremic HBsAg positive mothers may safely reduce the rate of MTCT when compared between groups of TDF treated and untreated patients. Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF) is the successor to TDF, and both drugs have a similar mechanism of action to reduce HBV DNA levels and normalize serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in chronic hepatitis B patients (CHB) with few adverse effects. TAF however, has a better safety profile with less adverse effects to bone mineral density and renal function. The present prospective, double-arm study is to evaluate the non-inferiority in the efficacy and safety of TAF therapy versus TDF therapy in highly viremic mothers and their infants for the prevention of MTCT in the real world setting.
This study was a comparative, randomized, double-blind clinical study of the efficacy and safety of Sci-B-Vac® (10 μg dose) and the Engerix-B® (20 μg dose) vaccines in two parallel groups of hepatitis B-naive healthy adult subjects in Russia.
The aim of CELINE is to retrieve and re-evaluate lost to follow-up chronic hepatitis C patients in the Netherlands.
The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective way to give patients information regarding hepatitis C virus infection. The investigators plan to compare the information retained by some patients who are given a brochure alone versus patients who watch an interactive video about hepatitis C.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether Orencia® (Abatacept) improves outcomes in liver transplant patients with recurrent or de novo AIH (autoimmune hepatitis) that has not responded to previous therapy. AIH that does not respond to steroids or conventional immunotherapy often affects young patients and leads to irreversible liver damage. There is currently no effective therapy for this condition.
This is a one-time cross-sectional survey study of approximately 200 self-identified black or African-American patients who have had chronic hepatitis C viral infection (HCV) that will evaluate patients' willingness to participate (WTP) in health/medical research related to HCV and attitudinal factors that might be associated with WTP, such as benefits and barriers to research participation, mistrust of physicians/researchers, health literacy, and knowledge of health/research studies.
After LT, long-term immunosuppressive therapy is required to prevent organ rejection. Therefore, for organs which may harbour OBI, there is a risk of reactivation which may result in liver graft failure. As a consequence, all patients who receive an anti-HBc positive graft will receive antiviral prophylaxis. Currently, all such patients will be commenced on life-long entecavir, which is highly effective in preventing reactivation.2 One major disadvantage of using such a blanket approach is that a significant proportion of anti-HBc donors may not actually have underlying occult HBV infection, and recipients of such grafts may not require lifelong antiviral therapy. Current markers such as HBsAg and HBV DNA are not sensitive enough to detect the presence of OBI. This is the first trial proposed to look at the efficacy of these novel HBV biomarkers in identifying occult HBV infection when used in combination, and to identify patients who will not need long term antiviral prophylaxis.
This is a preliminary trial of a Hepatitis B vaccine (Heplisav-B) in medically immunosuppressed patients. The purpose of this study is to test the ability of Heplisav-B to produce high levels of antibody that neutralize the virus and prevent hepatitis B from coming back. Another important purpose is to test the safety of this vaccine in patients taking immune suppressive medicines.
This study is to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of three types of nucleotide/nucleoside analogues in treatment of hepatitis b virus related compensated cirrhosis.
