Filter by:This study is a research aiming to identify knowledge , attitude and practice of population in a village in a remote governorate towards viral hepatitis B and C . It involves home visit interviews with population in this village with the use of questionnaire involving questions asked by the researcher that would be orally answered by the participants to be recorded in papers by the researcher.
The goal of this retrospective observational study is to find out the effects of probiotics on HBV clearance. The main question it aims to answer is: Are the probiotics have an effect in promoting HBV clearance? The participants will observe the HBV clearance rate in chronic hepatitis B patients receive probiotics in addition to the routine antiviral therapy. Researchers will compare the HBV clearance rate in chronic hepatitis B patients receive probiotics and antiviral therapy with those receiving solely antiviral therapy.

Solid Organ Transplantation (SOT) is made possible by the use of a lifelong immunosuppressive treatment. This treatment limits the response of the immune system, enabling long-term survival of the transplanted organ, but also leading to weaker anti-infectious responses. In this study, we will compare the response to a booster Hepatitis B vaccination (HBV) in SOT patients, either after kidney or liver transplantation. We will also compare the immune response depending on the immunosuppressive treatment. In order to provide a detailed picture of the immune response, we will investigate the usual serological response (anti-HBs antibodies), but also the cellular memory (both T and B) using ELISpot assays and flow-cytometry, over a 6 months period following booster vaccination.
Rationale: Currently, there is no curative therapy available for patients that are chronically infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Especially the presence of a viral reservoir of stable episomal, covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) in the nucleus of infected hepatocytes poses a great challenge for the development of curative therapies. HBV cccDNA acts as the template for production of viral proteins and HBV genomes. In a preclinical study, terbinafine (an antifungal agent) was identified as a potent and specific suppressor of HBx-mediated cccDNA transcription. HBx is an accessory viral protein of HBV which has been proven to be essential for HBV replication and enhances replication at the transcriptional level in vivo. The suppression of cccDNA transcription results in a strong reduction of the production of viral genomes (RNA and DNA) as well as viral proteins. This will allow recovery of the immune system, increase viral clearance and prevent replenishment of the cccDNA pool in the hepatocyte, all contributing to cure chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Objective: to provide proof of concept for the inhibition of HBx mediated cccDNA transcription by terbinafine, both as monotherapy and add-on therapy next to tenofovir. Secondary outcomes will be the safety and tolerability of terbinafine in this specific group. Study design: This pilot study is a stratified, single center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, dose-ascending proof of concept clinical trial. Study population: patients chronically infected with the hepatitis B virus with a normal liver function and no signs of liver damage, who do not use any antiviral medication (group A, n=16) or are treated with tenofovir > 6 months (group B, n=16). Intervention: Patients will be randomly allocated to daily oral treatment with terbinafine or a matched placebo, either as monotherapy (group A) or as add-on therapy to tenofovir (group B). Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary outcomes: decline in level of serum HBsAg >0.32log10 IU/mL in both groups A and B and decline in serum HBV DNA >0.86log10 in group A at the end of study treatment (week 10 vs baseline). Secondary outcomes: 1) Safety and tolerability of terbinafine as mono- or combination therapy; 2) level of serum HBsAg and HBV DNA at 3 months follow-up; 3) decline of HBsAg levels over time (all visits); 4) HBV RNA, large HBsAg (LHBs) HBcrAg levels, and HBeAg status at baseline and end of study 4). Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Patients participating in this study will undergo physical examinations and blood sample collections (13 samples and in total 467.5 mL). They will also be asked to fill in the HBQOL and EQ5D5L quality of life questionnaires and a medicine diary. In total there will be 13 visits in the hospital of which 7 will be for blood collection only. Terbinafine can induce liver damage 1 of 50,000 to 120,000 prescriptions (LiverTox), a weekly safety laboratory control is implemented in the visits to detect possible liver toxicity in an early stage and prevent liver damage.
The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between hepatitis B virus genotype and treatment response in children with chronic hepatitis B with specific treatment indications. This is a prospective cohort study, with a follow-up period of at least 12 months, conducted at Children's Hospital 1 and City Children's Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The patient's blood was taken to be tested for hepatitis B virus genotyping using Sanger sequencing at the Center for Molecular Biomedicine Ho Chi Minh City. The research hypothesis is that genotype is related to treatment response.
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Single-Center Phase Ia Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Food Effects of Single and Multiple Doses of XT1061 in Healthy Subjects.
It can cause physiological and behavioral changes in infants such as pain, tachycardia, hypoxemia, increased blood pressure, grimacing, prolonged crying, and irritability. Vaccination is an important part of neonatal nursing care. Newborns express their pain nonverbally and behaviorally. Therefore, any pain assessment is based on the ability of others to recognize pain symptoms. This randomized controlled trial was planned to evaluate the effect of heart sound and white noise on pain and physiological parameters during intramuscular injection of hepatitis B vaccine in newborns. This randomized controlled study used parallel trial design.
