Filter by:The scavenger receptor type B class I (SR-BI) is a receptor for high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and one of entry factors for hepatitis C virus (HCV). The investigators aimed to examine the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the SCARB1 gene, which encodes SR-BI, with virologic responses to pegylated interferon-based treatment in Asian chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients.
This is a follow up study from the published article entitled "Comparison of immunogenicity and safety of four doses and four double doses vs. standard doses of hepatitis B vaccination in HIV-infected adults: a randomized, controlled trial" by Chaiklang K, Wipasa J, Chaiwarith R, Praparattanapan J, Supparatpinyo K. that was published in PLoS One. 2013 Nov 12;8(11):e80409. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0080409. eCollection 2013. ClinicalTrials.gov; NCT1289106. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the HBV vaccination regimens using either four standard doses or four double doses compared with the current standard regimen of three doses in HIV-infected adults in northern Thailand. In addition, the investigators evaluated the efficacy of the HBV vaccination with the current standard regimen of three doses between healthy adults and HIV-infected patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the persistence of hepatitis A antibodies, approximately 8 years and 10 years post vaccination with the complete series of Havrix (2 doses) and the partial series completion (1 dose).
Effective all-oral medications are finally available to cure hepatitis C virus, which affects more than 4 million Americans and one-in-four people living with HIV. However, many barriers exist that prevent people with HIV/HCV co-infection from getting this curative treatment, including low knowledge, competing demands, and drug interactions with HIV medications. This study evaluates if a hepatitis C nurse case management intervention in an HIV primary care clinic will improve patient attendance to hepatitis C care and help people start hepatitis C treatment earlier. Half of the participants will receive brief case management with a nurse, while the other half will receive usual clinic care.
The purpose of this phase 3, multicenter study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABT-493/ABT-530 in Japanese adults with chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-infected, HCV direct-acting antiviral agent (DAA) treatment-naïve, and DAA treatment-experienced Japanese adult subjects.
Hepatitis C Virus, (HCV), infection is a major health concern in the UK with up to 0.7% of the population infected. At best, 25% of those infected will clear the infection spontaneously, though for those who develop a chronic infection, they may go onto to develop liver cirrhosis or liver cancers. The standard of care within the NHS is that patients with a history of intravenous drug use or those currently on methadone are at high risk of having HCV infection and should be offered HCV testing. Once diagnosed they can be referred to nurse led treatment pathways. Less than 10% of the methadone users are even tested for HCV and of them fewer than 20% go onto treatment regimens that successfully clear the infection despite regular interactions with heath care staff. Pharmacists who have daily interactions with patients receiving methadone are ideally placed to deliver anti HCV therapy as they have daily contact with this client group and are well placed to advise on the drug therapy. The SuperDOT C study will examine the impact of pharmacy led Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) for HCV treatment in patients attending Community Pharmacies in participating Health Boards within NHS Scotland. The impact of this approach will be compared with those referred to standard care pathways on how well participants clear their HCV infection.
The investigators will treat 50 patients with cirrhosis due to hepatitis C genotype 1, with sofosbuvir 400 mg daily, ledipasvir 90 mg daily and weight-based ribavirin (1000 mg/d if <75 kg, 1200 mg/d if >75 kg, divided in two daily doses) for 12 weeks and calculate the sustained viral response rate at 12 weeks.
The aim of the study is to assess the persistence of anti-Hep B antibody at 9 to 10 years of age after the last priming dose in subjects who completed study A3L12 (NCT00401531), and also evaluate the immune response against hepatitis B one month after vaccination (challenge vaccination) with a stand alone monovalent hepatitis B vaccine. Primary objectives: - To describe the persistence of anti-hepatitis B antibody at 9 to 10 years of age after last priming dose in subjects having received hepatitis B vaccine at birth and a hexavalent vaccine at 2, 4 and 6 months of age according to the vaccine received during A3L12 study (Hexaxim® [Group 1] or Infanrix® hexa [Group 2]) - To evaluate the immune response against hepatitis B one month after vaccination with a stand alone monovalent hepatitis B vaccine (challenge vaccination). Secondary objectives: - To describe serious adverse events (SAEs) reported throughout the trial after administration of hepatitis B vaccine.
A single center, open labeled phase I/IIa study to evaluate safety, tolerability and efficacy of a therapeutic hepatitis B vaccine in oral antiviral drug-treated chronic hepatitis B virus carriers
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of 12 weeks of treatment of ABT-493/ABT-530 (glecaprevir/pibrentasvir) in adults who are post primary orthotopic liver or renal transplant with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
