Filter by:This is a nonrandomized, open-label, no-control, dose-escalation Phase 1b trial in 18 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 mg/day (100 mg two times a day (BID)), 400 mg/day (200 mg BID), then 600 mg once daily (QD), with 6 patients for each cohort.
Little is known about efficacy of switching to tenofovir monotherapy for multidrug-resistant chronic ehpatitis B patients who achieved a complete virological response to entecavir and tenofovir. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of switching to tenofovir monotherapy for multidrug-resistant chronic hepatitis B patients with undetectable heaptitis B virus DNA while on tenofovir plus entecavir combination therapy.
This study aims to evaluate the immunologic response to the two hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination booster strategies in previously vaccinated HIV-infected adults at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital.
The majority of childbearing age women with hepatitis B virus infection were still in the immune tolerance period. Our recent research had shown that most puerperae after delivery had elevated ALT level. However, there is no withdrawal time recommendations after childbirth at present.Through the study of hepatitis occurrence after delivery and drug withdrawal, the investigators explore the withdrawal time of antiviral treatment during pregnancy.
The finding of isolated hepatitis B core antibody (isolated HBc) in absent of recent active hepatitis could cause by several scenarios, including false positive, remote infection without viremia, and occult infection with low viremia. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine booster could be a great prevention strategy for those who do not have HBV viremia. There is no standard consensus for management of this issue especially among HIV infected population. In addition, prior studies revealed that HIV-infected individuals had lower immunologic response to HBV vaccine than general population. This study intends to compare the immune response and safety of 4- versus 3-standard dose of hepatitis B virus vaccination in HIV-infected adults who has isolated HBc. The immunologic response will be evaluated after the participants receive vaccination.
Pegylated interferon α-2a(Peg-IFN-α) not only inhibit viral replication, but also play an important role in immune regulation, while Nucleoside analog(ue) drugs only inhibit viral replication. In hepatitis B infection, cytokines played a vital role. This study was aimed at investigating the changes of cytokines during Peg-IFN-αand nucleoside analog(ue) therapy.Meanwhile, the investigators wanted to verify whether Peg-IFN-α therapy resulted in the secretion of cytokines.
Pegylated interferon α-2a(Peg-IFN-α) not only inhibit viral replication, but also play an important role in immune regulation, while Nucleoside analog(ue) drugs only inhibit viral replication. In hepatitis B infection, Treg cells Regulatory T cells played a negative role in immune. This study was aimed at investigating the changes of Treg cells frequency and function, and the expression of costimulatory molecules during Peg-IFN-αand nucleoside analog(ue) therapy.Meanwhile, the investigators wanted to verify whether Peg-IFN-α suppressed the virus, which led to the decline of Treg cells frequency and function;negative regulation of Tregs for immune cells diminished, hence, the function of immune cells recovered.
Pegylated interferon(IFN) α-2a(Peg-IFN-α) not only inhibit viral replication, but also play an important role in immune regulation, while entecavir(ETV) drugs only inhibit viral replication. In hepatitis B infection, Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells（pDCs） are the main effector cells in early antiviral innate immune response. This study was aimed at investigating the changes of pDCs frequency and function, and the expression of costimulatory molecules CD86(Cluster of Differentiation antigen 86) during Peg-IFN-αand entecavir(ETV) therapy.Meanwhile, investigators want to verify whether Peg-IFN-α suppressed the virus and the reduction of virus led to the recovery of pDCs function, or Peg-IFN-α enhanced pDCs function which gave rise to the decline of the virus.
Pregnant women carry high HBV DNA loads before delivery, which is the most important factor leading to mother-to-child transmission of HBV. Nucleoside analogue antiviral treatment during late pregnancy can significantly reduce the incidence of HBV MTCT, but security problems of using NA treatment during pregnancy has not been eliminated, Therefore, the aim of our study is to explore the effect of starting to use Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate(TDF) antiviral treatment from the 32 weeks of gestation to block mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus(HBV MTCT).
Pegylated interferon α-2a(Peg-IFN-α) not only inhibit viral replication, but also play an important role in immune regulation, while Nucleoside analog(ue) drugs only inhibit viral replication. In hepatitis B infection, CD8+T cells are the main effector cells in adaptive immune response. This study was aimed at investigating the changes of CD8+T cells frequency and function, and the expression of costimulatory molecules during Peg-IFN-αand nucleoside analog(ue) therapy.Meanwhile, the investigators want to verify whether Peg-IFN-α suppressed the virus and the reduction of virus led to the recovery of CD8+T cells function, or Peg IFN - alpha enhanced CD8+T cells function which gave rise to the decline of the virus.
