Filter by:This study is a multicenter, open-label, phase II clinical study in subjects with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic profile and preliminary anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) efficacy of APG-1387 in combination with entecavir, and to determine the optimal dose of APG-1387 in combination with entecavir.
The purpose of this study is to provide theoretical and real world evidence for the optimization of antiviral treatment by IFN combined with Nucleosides analog in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B patients aged 1-16 years，so that the functional cure could be achieved in the greatest extent in pediatric patients
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2b clinical Trial evaluating Safety and Efficacy of DUR-928 (an experimental medication) in Patients with Alcoholic Hepatitis (AH).
Exercise is one of the most vital components of health maintenance. Exercising regularly maintains the cardiovascular system health, promotes the health of liver, and declines the risks of complications induced by CHCV. Since overweight is the main risk factor for IR and type 2 DM which may speed the liver disease progression among HCV patients, exercise is very important for maintenance and loss of weight. Further, exercise can relieve the side effects of medications of HCV, improve immunity, promote a sense of well-being, reduce levels of chronic fatigue, improve blood oxygen levels and increase the endorphins excretion which makes the patients fully energized (Elgendi, Shebl A, Sliem M, and Gary FA, 2018). Studies on exercise effect in patients with CHCV are quite scarce (de Sousa Fernandes et al., 2019). Decreased leptin levels by exercise positively modulate insulin signaling and inhibit pathology progression (Anaruma et al., 2019). Since studies investigated physical activity effect on regulating HCV related leptin levels are very little, the present study aimed to explore the response of serum leptin and liver enzymes to aerobic exercise in nondiabetic overweight men with CHCV.
Subjects with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection, genotype 1 or 4 and with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and a complete response to HCC therapy will be randomised to immediate or delayed (6 months) HCV therapy with Elbasvir (MK-8742) and Grazoprevir (MK-5172) [EBR/GZR].
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, especially chronic, is a significant worldwide medical problem. This is an exploratory study of the therapeutic mechanism of GSK3228836 in participants with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) on stable nucleos(t)ide therapy (which is the first line therapy for CHB). This study is a Phase IIa, multi-center open label exploratory study of the therapeutic mechanism of GSK3228836 in participants with hepatitis B virus e-antigen (HBeAg)-negative CHB on stable nucleos(t)ide therapy using repeat fine needle aspirations of the liver for intrahepatic immunophenotyping. It will investigate the virologic and immunologic correlates of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) loss observed in participants when treated for 12 weeks with 300 milligrams (mg) GSK3228836. Repeat fine needle aspirates of the liver will be performed to enable analysis of liver-resident immune cells to investigate any immunomodulatory properties of GSK3228836 and to study the biology of underlying treatment-associated liver flares. The study will consist of a screening, treatment, and post-treatment follow-up phase. Approximately 20 participants will be enrolled in the study.
Drinking large amount of alcohol can cause damage to the liver. If the liver is severely injured by alcohol it can become very inflamed and this condition is called alcoholic hepatitis. Alcoholic hepatitis can be life threatening. There is no cure for alcoholic hepatitis. It is known that stop drinking and have good nutrition can help the liver to recover. Infections are very common for people who suffer from alcoholic hepatitis. Sometimes these infection can be very severe. It is not always possible to find out where the infection is coming from. But the bacteria living in the bowel may move to other organs causing these infections and an illness like alcoholic hepatitis can cause "bad bacteria" to take over from "good bacteria" in the gut. This study wants to understand the changes in the bacteria in the bowel of people who have an acute inflammation of the liver cause by alcohol (alcoholic hepatitis). The investigators will take stool samples from patients admitted in the hospital with alcoholic hepatitis. The investigators will run tests on the stools that can find out which bacteria live in the bowel. Its is expected to find these bacteria to be different from the ones living in the bowel of healthy people. The investigators are interested to see if these bacteria change once the patients are given good nutrition using a small tube from the nose to the stomach. This type of nutrition is used routinely to help improve the liver in severe alcoholic hepatitis. The investigators will take some more stool sample from these patients after the nutrition through the tube has started to check how the bacteria change with nutrition. Better tools to check the bacteria in the bowel are now available so this can help the investigators to understand better if changing bacteria in the bowel can help recovery in alcoholic hepatitis.
Carvedilol has been shown to be more potent in decreasing portal hypertension to propranolol. A lot of studies have shown that the imbalance of flora and the progress of portal hypertension are mutually causal. Berberine can regulate the intestinal flora.In this study, we evaluated the effect of carvedilol and berberine on reducing portal vein pressure by observing the changes of endoscopy，endoscopic ultrasonography and intestinal flora.
This is a phase three study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Pradefovir treatment in chronic hepatitis B patients. Subject will be randomized to Pradefovir group and TDF group at a ratio of 2:1. Treatment duration will be 96w in randomization and followed by 48w in open. The interim analysis will be conducted when all subject completed the first 48-week treatment.
More than five decades have passed since the identification of the etiologic agent of hepatitis B and yet this infection is a challenge for public health worldwide. The development and availability of the first hepatitis B vaccines, still in the 1980s, was a milestone for the prevention of the hepatitis B virus, and currently known as the gold standard strategy for the elimination of this infectious disease. In several countries, the introduction of the immunobiological occurred gradually, by age groups and risk groups, and in general, started with newborns and children. This universal immunization strategy has contributed to reducing the incidence and changing the epidemiological profile of HBV worldwide. At the beginning of the 21st century, it was already possible to shift the epidemiological curve of the infection to parasitize with 50 years or more. On the other hand, despite vaccination against hepatitis B being the most assertive tool for the prevention of HBV, the low performance of the vaccine in older groups remains a challenge for public health and the object of this study. To our knowledge, there are no data showing the efficacy of doses of enhanced hepatitis B vaccines for older adults, and the purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the immunogenicity of the hepatitis B vaccine in adult adults aged 50 years and over, using conventional doses (20μg) versus (vs) booster doses.
