Filter by:The primary objective of this pilot trial is to compare the efficacy, measured as sustained virologic response (SVR) at least 12 weeks after completion of therapy, across three study regimens/delivery modalities: Arm 1 - 4 weeks of sofosbuvir (SOF) + daclatasvir (DAC) + pegylated interferon alfa-2a (PEG) delivered using directly observed therapy (DOT); Arm 2 - 12 weeks of SOF+DAC delivered using DOT; and Arm 3 - 12 weeks of SOF+DAC delivered as per standard of care (monthly dispensation with no DOT). Secondary objectives are 1)To compare the cost per SVR for each of the three study arms; 2) To compare adherence among persons across the three study arms; 3) To evaluate the safety, tolerability and acceptability of treatment in the three arms.
Several drugs and chemotherapies seem to have an impact on the immunological system. This study investigates reports of immunological toxicities, including the International classification of disease ICD-10 codes M05, M32, I78 for treatments in the World Health Organization (WHO) global Individual Case Safety Report (ICSR) database (VigiBase).
Primary Objective: To describe rate of persistence and/or improvement of viral suppression with TAF as with previous anti-HBV (hepatitis B virus) treatment
Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) is the most common mode of perpetuating chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in endemic countries. Many studies have demonstrated antepartum anti-viral therapy (AVT) is a advisable option to reduce mother-to-child transmission and the risk of vaccination breakthrough in infants who received passive-active immunoprophylaxis. However, several controversies over antiviral treatment have not been resolved, that is, optimal duration, effect of postpartum therapy, and risk of postpartum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) flare after withdrawal. Will the risk of postpartum hepatitis flares increase after short-term AVT in late pregnancy for maternal HBV infection is discontinued? Is there any correlation between postpartum hepatitis flares and withdrawal time? Will the proportion of postpartum flares be reduced if extending the duration of AVT after delivery? There is an urgent need in this area. This study mainly investigated the safety of antiviral therapy in preventing HBV mother-to-child transmission in pregnant women after discontinuation.
To develop and validate a specific questionnaire of sexual quality of life in several languages and cultures (France, Brazil, Australia) allowing a meaningful and comprehensive assessment of the sexuality of patients infected with HIV and HCV; Propose reference scoring for sub-populations.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and reactogenicity of escalating doses of JNJ-64300535 delivered via electroporation-mediated intramuscular injection in nucleos(t)ide analogs (NA)-treated chronic hepatitis B (CHB) participants.
Background: Cirrhotic patients have an increased risk of infections. In these patients is important to prevent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, as it may cause a deterioration of liver function. However, HBV vaccine efficacy in this group of patients is lower than in healthy population. Despite increasing standard doses to double doses or administering an accelerated pattern, the response to HBV vaccination remains suboptimal. For this reason, an alternative strategy may be using vaccines with novel adjuvants such as Fendrix® or the recombinant vaccine HBVAXPRO®. Aim: To assess the adjuvanted HBV vaccine (Fendrix ®) efficacy in patients with chronic liver disease and to understand the kinetics of anti-HBs titers over time in patients who respond to vaccination. Methods: Prospective and multicenter study. Serological markers of HBV will be assessed prospectively in consecutive patients with non-cirrhotic liver disease (permanent abnormal liver blood tests > six months; elastogram ≥8 kilopascal (kPa); serum markers of fibrosis (APRI or FIB-4 ≥ F2); ultrasound changes suggesting chronic liver disease) and cirrhotic patients (diagnosed by liver biopsy and/or non-invasive methods: clinical, blood tests and ultrasound). Seronegative patients will receive four doses of Fendrix ® at 0,1, 2 and 6 months. Antibodies against HBV superficial antigen (anti-HBs) will be determined at 2 months +/- 10 days, six months and one year after having received the fourth dose of the vaccine (to see kinetics). The study will differentiate between responders and non-responders to the vaccine: adequate immunity to HBV will be defined as anti-HBs higher than > 10mUI/mL (standard definition of seroconversion) and> 100mUI/mL. Investigators will evaluate the factors that influence the response, kinetics and safety of the vaccination in patients with chronic liver disease and cirrhosis.
This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of generic sofosbuvir, an investigational anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) drug, combined with weight-adjusted ribavirin for treatment-naive Chinese adults chronically infected with genotype 2 HCV, the second most prevalent genotype in China. One hundred and thirty-two (132) subjects, including one hundred and twenty (120) non-cirrhotics and twelve (12) compensatory cirrhotics, were medicated with sofosbuvir 400 mg daily combined with weight-adjusted ribavirin 1000-1200 mg daily. The treatment course lasted 12 successive weeks and thereafter all the study participants entered into a 12-week treatment-free follow-up period.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of JNJ-440 in healthy and Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) participants after single and multiple doses; and to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) of JNJ-440 in healthy participants and in CHB participants following single and multiple dose regimens, administered alone (healthy participants and CHB participants).
This is a research trial testing DUR-928 (an experimental medication). The purpose of this trial is to assess the dose related safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of DUR 928 in patients with moderate and severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH).
