Filter by:The study is to guide clinical cure of peginterferon alfa-2a treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis B based on the detection of interferon gene mutation (IFNA2p.Ala120Thr) and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) detection gene spectrum.
This is a randomized, open-label, positive-control, dose-escalation Phase 1b trial in 60 patients with chronic HBV infection to determine the safety, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of QL-007 after administration over 28 days of multiple oral doses in a fasted state at the following planned dose levels: 200, 400, and then 600 mg.
This study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple ascending doses in healthy volunteers (HV) and participants diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) leads to life-threatening disease like liver failure and liver cancer. For most, a cure is unattainable as current HBV antiviral therapy (using nucleoside analogues) are not able to clear the virus from their liver. While HBV treatments are typically administered alone (monotherapy), this study will explore the use of Ribavirin in combination with standard therapy to enhance current treatment regimens. Ribavirin is commonly used to treat Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) but there is evidence that Ribavirin also induces immune effects that are beneficial in HBV treatment. The aim of this study is to determine whether combination of Ribavirin and a nucleoside analog is more effective compared to nucleoside analog treatment alone. Enrolled patients will be followed for treatment response according to standard clinical and virological tests, as well as immune response to HBV. Our ultimate goal is to find a more effective treatment and improve health outcomes for persons living with HBV.
This is an open, uncontrolled study of twenty-five chronic HCV infected patients carried out at Yassin Abdel Ghaffar Charity Center for Liver Disease and Research. The aim of this study is to investigate the safety & efficacy of combined therapy ledipasvir (LDV) and sofosbuvir (SOF) for treating HCV Genotype 4 in children aged 8 to 18. Due to previous positive results in other clinical studies of this drug it is expected that the drug will have high safety and high efficacy. Safety will be measured by checking for adverse effects, while efficacy will be measured by Real-Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) detecting viral nucleic acids in blood samples.
This study aims to prospectively assess the repeatability and reproducibility of iron-corrected T1 (cT1), T2*, and hepatic proton density fat fraction (PDFF) quantification with multiparametric MRI using the LiverMultiScan™ (LMS, Perspectum Diagnostics, Oxford, UK) protocol across different field strengths, scanner manufacturers and models.
SHARP-P is an observational cohort study investigating the effect of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy and reinfection in people with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) and recent injecting drug use. A prospective, observational cohort design will be used to enrol patients from correctional centres in New South Wales, Australia. Participants will be prescribed a direct-acting HCV medication as per the standard of care. The on treatment phase will vary dependent on the type of a direct-acting antiviral prescribed as per the standard of care. Once patients have completed their treatment course they will be followed up every 3 months for up to 3 years following the end of treatment phase. The study will aim to evaluate the incidence of HCV reinfection following successful DAA treatment over the three years of follow up. The study will also evaluate the proportion of patients with undetectable HCV RNA at 12 weeks post end of treatment (SVR12) with direct-acting anti-viral HCV therapy.
Post-marketing surveillance study to evaluate the real world safety and effectiveness of Maviret (Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir) administered under a normal, routine treatment practice by Korean patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Genotypes 1 to 6
There are chronic hepatitis B patients with poor antiviral efficacy of entecavir in clinical practice. Tenofovir or interferon alfa is the optimal choice right now. The aim of this study is to investigate the therapeutic effect of using tenofovir of interferon alfa in these patients.
In Mexico, alcoholic liver disease is the fourth cause of mortality (INEGI). Patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis have a high mortality at 28 days and 6 months, patients receiving standard therapy with prednisone that are non responders (Lille> 0.45) have a survival of 53.3 ± 5.1 % to 28 days. At present, there is not a completely effective treatment for non responders patients, with a high mortality, so it is necessary to look for other therapeutic strategies. The omega-5 fatty acid (punicic acid) has been considered a powerful antioxidant, it is an agonist of PPAR gamma, has been shown to reduce lipid peroxidation, and restore levels of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase. It has also been shown to inhibit the expression of proinflammatory cytokines (such as IL6, IL8, IL23, IL12 and TNFalpha) through PPAR and modulation delta. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of Omega 5 fatty acid on inflammatory markers and antioxidant-oxidant balance markers in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis treated with prednisone. HYPOTHESIS. Omega 5 fatty acid being a PPARgamma agonist reduces lipid peroxidation and protein damage, restoring reduced glutathione levels, as well as decreasing proinflammatory cytokines, in patients with Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis treated with prednisone and supplementation with fatty acid Omega 5.
