Filter by:The objectives of this study are to collect and assess data related to safety and effectiveness of Sovaldi treatment regimens, per the approved prescribing information for Sovaldi, in routine clinical practice and report results to Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS).
Social insecurity is a significant cost in human terms (health and societal), it defines evil and can be identified as difficulties accessing health and especially water. We chose to take stock of these populations defined by difficulties accessing water as precarious setting. Subjects homeless population fall into this by accident of life, a life "homeless" or migrant subjects often illegally having only transitory access (associative or charitable structures host) the conditions precarious sanitation including drinking water or toilet. Populations of slums in the same conditions or the presence rationed water (one tap for 150 people) restricts hygiene.
Direct acting antivirals offer a new opportunity to monitor the immune response in Hepatitis C infection. In this study cytokine markers will be measured during therapy up to time point SVR 12 an correlated to clinical Parameters and regular laboratory findings.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients treated for chronic hepatitis C (HCV) with zepatier (grazoprevir/elbasvir) prior to kidney transplant will have a stronger immune response compared to patients treated after kidney transplant. 25 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and HCV will be treated with zepatier and 25 kidney transplant recipients with chronic kidney disease will be treated with zepatier. Blood markers of immune function will be monitored in both groups to determine their response to therapy.
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term protection against HBV infection in adult subjects, aged 18-40 years vaccinated with three or four doses of Engerix-B 20 to 30 years ago
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a serious liver disease worldwide，HBV MTCT is the important reason to keep high prevalence of chronic HBV infection in China. Intrapartum infection is the main period of neonatal HBV infection. Injecting HBIG and hepatitis b vaccine immediately after birth is the most important method of blocking mother-to-child transmission of HBV. However, regular doses of HBIG combined with hepatitis b vaccine blocking measures still have a failure rate as high as 5% ~ 15%.There are numerous studies to explore pregnancy women with HBV positive, especially high viral load of those women during pregnancy being treated with nucleoside analogs to increase the blocking rate of HBV MTCT, but there is still a failure rate of 2.2% to 18%. In this study, we will explore the efficiency of personalized blocking method of HBV maternal-neonatal transmission in high-risk newborns,according to the venous blood HBsAg state of neonatus at birth.
Rationale: Current standard therapy of autoimmune hepatitis consists of a combination of prednisolone and azathioprine. However, a significant proportion of patients does not respond to, or is intolerant for, azathioprine. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) has surpassed azathioprine as therapy to prevent organ transplant rejection and is sometimes used as an alternative option for autoimmune hepatitis. Several case series and one prospective study have documented the efficacy and safety of mycophenolate mofetil as induction therapy for autoimmune hepatitis. Robust evidence from a formal randomized clinical trial is lacking. Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of mycophenolate mofetil as induction therapy in patients with treatment naive autoimmune hepatitis. Study design: Multicenter, randomised, open-label intervention study Study population: Patients with newly diagnosed autoimmune hepatitis who are in need of induction therapy according to current guidelines. Intervention: The intervention group will receive oral mycophenolate mofetil for 24 weeks. The control group will be treated with azathioprine for 24 weeks. Both groups will be treated with steroid induction which will closely follow the schedule from the recent Clinical Practice Guidelines by the European Association for Study of the Liver (EASL). Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary outcome is the proportion of patients in biochemical remission, defined as normalization of serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels after 24 weeks of treatment, per treatment group. Secondary endpoints include safety and tolerability of mycophenolate mofetil, time to remission, changes in Model For End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) -score (and its components bilirubin, INR, creatinine), albumin, pseudocholinesterase and N-terminal procollagen-III-peptide, ELF (Enhanced Liver Fibrosis) -score and aspects of quality of life.
This trial will study the effect of a polyherbal capsule in lowering the viral load of patients with chronic Hepatitis B infection and record the incidence of from Hepatitis B surface antigen elimination in 12 months
Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection in individuals with hepatitis C virus (HCV) can enhance the severity of hepatitis and the risks of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hepatitis B vaccine is an effective measure to prevent HBV infection. Whether patients with HCV infection have non-protective antibody responses to hepatitis B vaccination more frequently than healthy subjects is still controversial and studies about cytokine response have been seldom reported. Methods Not-in-treatment patients with chronic HCV infection and 1:2 community/gender matched healthy control were obtained from a community-based screening. All participants received three doses of hepatitis B vaccine (20 μg HBsAg/ml/dose) on 0, 1 and 6 months schedule. Anti-HBs was tested 1 month after the third dose of vaccination and was compared between two groups. Spot-forming cells (SFCs) of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-5 (IL-5) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) produced by lymphocyte were tested by enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) and were compared between two groups.
Evaluate the efficacy of 12 or 8 weeks treatment with Grazoprevir/Elbasvir in Early Chronic Hepatitis C GT1,4 in HIV co-infected patients and evaluate the safety and tolerability of Grazoprevir + Elbasvir in HIV-HCV co-infected patients.
