This is an expanded access programme to make Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) available to patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B in Morocco. Patients will receive Pegasys 180 mcg subcutaneously weekly for 48 weeks and efficacy and safety will be recorded during treatment and for 24 weeks of follow-up.
The present study is conducted in order to assess the acceptability of Hepatitis B vaccination in French general population before and after reimbursement of the paediatric vaccine InfanrixHexa. Four measurements are planned, first before reimbursement and the others at year 1, 2 and 3 after reimbursement.
This study aims to develop innovative immunological read-outs and new technologies in order to further characterise the early immune response and its kinetics as well as the adaptive immune responses to adjuvanted vaccines. This study will also evaluate the reactogenicity in healthy, hepatitis B virus naive adults vaccinated with the hepatitis B surface antigen in combination with a GSK Biologicals' Adjuvant System.
The present study is conducted in order to assess the acceptability of Hepatitis B vaccination in French general practitioners and peadiatricians before and after reimbursement of the paediatric vaccine InfanrixHexa. Two data measurement time points are planned, first before reimbursement and after reimbursement.
Chronic hepatitis B virus infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and entecavir were licensed for the treatment of hepatitis B virus infection. In this study, the investigators will try to make comparison between Entecavir and Tenofovir and investigate the efficacy.
This study will define the substantial disease burden associated with viral hepatitis in India, and provide a foundation to understand the host and viral determinants of disease pathogenesis that may ultimately impact treatment decisions and outcome
This study proposes to compare the effect of 48 weeks exposure to pegylated interferon alpha vs. nucleoside analogue (NA) on hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion and HBsAg levels in nucleoside analogue controlled HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients who have an undetectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral load at least 1 years.
The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of prophylactic entecavir in HBsAg Positive lymphoma patients treated with rituximab-based immunochemotherapy.
With over 280 000 chronic carriers, 2,500 new annual cases and 1,300 deaths each year, hepatitis B is currently a frequent and potentially severe disease in France, despite efforts towards prevention and effective care. In terms of prevention, France has very low immunization coverage (27.7%) and a high percentage of people ignoring HBV status (55%), leading to a delay in care. This is partly explained by poor knowledge of hepatitis B infection in the general population and an underestimation of the health impact of hepatitis B by doctors and health officials. Until recently, there have been no national guidelines governing its implementation (which is variable depending on the structures where screening is performed) and an insufficient evaluation of screening practices. Thus, data on the severity of liver disease, indications for treatment of HBV-infected patients and data on the use of vaccination for nonimmunized people are scarce. Furthermore, while HIV rapid tests are beginning to be used more widely, particularly to address the issue of people who do not come back and collect their results and to better adapt "counselling", their usefulness to detect of hepatitis B virus has not been evaluated to date. The main objective of the Optiscreen B Study is to determine the benefit, if any, of using rapid tests as a screening tool to improve diagnosis, care and prevention of hepatitis B. Individuals risk of HBV-infection will be randomized into 2 groups, one group for which screening will be performed by usual serological test and a second group for which screening will be based on rapid tests. Centers will be selected to represent a diverse range of health centers whose aims include screening, prevention and/or vaccination.
