Filter by:The purpose of the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (Registry) is to detect any major teratogenic effect involving any of the Registry drugs when administered to pregnant women. Registration is voluntary and confidential with information obtained from the health care provider. A Registry-assigned identifier allows for follow-up capability. Information on subjects is provided to the Registry prospectively (prior to the outcome of pregnancy being known) through their health care provider, with follow-up obtained from the health care provider after the outcome is determined. Providers are strongly urged to enroll their patients as early in pregnancy as possible to maximize the validity of the data. In addition, the Registry is very interested in assembling a group of providers who are willing to make a commitment to report all of their site's antiretroviral pregnancy exposures to the Registry, thereby assuring all cases can be considered prospective. Providers are encouraged to contact the Registry for more information about this group. The Registry is informed in its analysis by other data, for example, retrospective reports and clinical studies. Given the increasing number of medications and more aggressive approach to therapy, more HIV- and hepatitis B-infected women may be treated during pregnancy or become pregnant while under treatment. The paucity of data on use and infant outcomes of antiretroviral therapies during pregnancy makes this Registry an essential component of the ongoing program of epidemiologic studies of the safety of these therapies. Each year the Registry has enrolled approximately 1300-1700 pregnant women in the US exposed to antiretroviral drugs. This number represents approximately 15% of the 8,700 HIV positive women who give birth to live infants annually in the US.
The purpose of this trial is to clinically confirm that the manufacturing process of the final bulk products of the investigational DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T vaccine is consistent. The primary objective is to demonstrate the equivalence of three batches of DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T vaccine, in terms of seroprotection and seroconversion rates for the vaccine antigens after the three-dose primary series. The secondary objectives are: - To describe in each group, the immunogenicity parameters for all antigens one month after the third dose of the primary series - To assess the overall safety in each group one month after the third dose of the primary series.
This is an open label, single-arm, multi-centre extension study for Korean patients with chronic hepatitis B and compensated liver disease who have completed one-year adefovir dipivoxil treatment in ADF103814. The objective is to assess clinical efficacy and safety of long term (up to 3 years) adefovir dipivoxil 10mg therapy.
The purpose of the study is to provide immunogenicity and safety data of the investigational hexavalent vaccine when it is given concomitantly (the same day at separate injection sites) with Prevnar, according to the 2-4-6 month immunization schedule, following one dose of HB vaccine at birth. Primary Objective: To demonstrate that the hexavalent DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine induces an immune response that is at least as good as the response following Infanrix™-Hexa in terms of seroprotection rates to HB and PRP, one month after a 3 dose primary series (2, 4, and 6 months), when co-administered with Prevnar® Secondary Objectives: Immunogenicity: To describe in each group the immunogenicity parameters to each vaccine component (for DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T and Infanrix™-Hexa) one month after the third dose of the primary series. Safety: To describe the overall safety after each injection.
Iron excess is increasingly regarded as an important cofactor in the morbidity attributed to many disorders. Assessment of body iron stores by measurement of serum ferritin concentrations has poor specificity and the most reliable method is histological or biochemical assessment from a liver biopsy. Because liver biopsy is an invasive procedure, imaging methods have been developed to detect and quantify hepatic iron content. The aim of the study is to use a simplified magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique to quantify simultaneously iron and fat contents in the liver and to compare the results to the quantification obtained biochemically.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA level on intrahepatic recurrence in locally treatable hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) related with HBV.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if the study drug entecavir will prevent the recurrence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in participants who receive an orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) due to HBV infection.
To assess the safety and immunogenicity of a booster dose of hepatitis B vaccine in children who have received a 3-dose primary series of either RECOMBIVAX HB or ENGERIX-B. The primary vaccination series (was given 4 to 8 years prior to study entry and consisted of a licensed hepatitis B vaccine product (either RECOMBIVAX HB or ENGERIX-B). The booster dose given in this study will be either an investigational Merck product (Modified Process Hepatitis B Vaccine) or licensed ENGERIX-B vaccine.
Entecavir, 0.5 mg daily, will have clinical efficacy (assessed as an undetectable hepatitis B DNA, <300 copies/mL, by Roche Comprehensive Bio-Analytical System Amplicor polymerase chain reaction assay) that is comparable (noninferior) and potentially superior to lamivudine, 100 mg once daily, in adults with hepatitis B e antigen-negative chronic hepatitis B virus infection.
HBe seroconversion is an important goal for anti-HBV treatment, since it is associated with a non progressive liver infection and a better clinical outcome. However, the rate of HBe seroconversion is low in HIV-HBV co-infected patients, mostly treated by tenofovir and emtricitabine. This study will evaluate the efficacy and the safety of a one-year Peg-interferon alpha 2a additional treatment in patients already treated by tenofovir and emtricitabine without reaching HBe seroconversion.
