Filter by:PD1 blockade has been approved as salvage therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although there is not solid evidence that PD1 blockade would induce hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation, previous clinical trials of PD1 blockade required enrolled patients to receive anti-HBV medications and control the viral load to be under 100-2000 IU/mL before initiation of PD1 blockade therapy. Such a requirement may not be necessary and could delay the treatment. Guidelines for prevention of chemotherapy induced HBV reactivation only suggest combining anti-HBV medications during the chemotherapy course without such a requirement of very load HBV viral load. The investigators hypothesized that under anti-HBV medications, patients with advanced HCC and active chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can receive durvalumab treatment without increased risks of HBV reactivation and related complications.
The main objective of this study is to compare the immunogenicity of the hepatitis B component in children vaccinated with (I) two doses of Infanrix-hexa administered at 2 and 12 months of age versus (II) one dose of Infanrix-hexa and one dose of Twinrix administered respectively at 2 and 12 months of age versus (III) three doses of Infanrix-hexa administered at 2, 4 and 18 months of age (comparator).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the investigational medicinal product CVI-HBV-002.
Evaluation of novel point of care Hepatitis B diagnostic assays.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 48-week study intervention with JNJ-73763989+JNJ-56136379+nucleos(t)ide analog (NA) regimen compared to NA alone assessed by HBsAg levels. This study is part of HepB Wings Platform Trial (PLATFORMPAHPB2001).
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is characterised by excess liver fat on imaging or histology. NAFLD affects up to 25% of the Western population. It's more aggressive form is non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) characterised by cell injury, inflammation and fibrosis, and is associated with increased mortality from liver and cardiovascular disease. Currently, there is no specific treatment for NASH. Diet and exercise-induced weight loss remain the only recommended options. However, maintaining weight loss in the long term is difficult. There is therefore a significant unmet need for effective therapy in patients with NASH that can address the underlying mechanisms of disease. Although preliminary observational evidence suggests that bariatric/metabolic surgery, especially RYGB can improve NASH, no controlled trials to date has confirmed the efficacy of surgery compared to standard weight loss programs. Also, while animal and clinical studies have shown that bariatric surgery exerts weight-independent effects on glucose metabolism, it is yet unknown if the observed effects of bariatric/metabolic surgery on NASH are due to weight loss alone or result from additional, weight-independent mechanisms, like in the case of T2DM. If the effect of surgery on inflammation, liver fibrosis and other mechanisms of cardiometabolic risk were found to be independent on weight reduction, there would be profound and far-reaching implications for both the treatment and the understanding of NASH, cardiovascular disease and obesity-related cancers. This project will investigate the hypothesis that, similarly to surgical control of diabetes, bariatric/metabolic surgery can also exert weight-independent effects on mechanisms of disease in NAFLD/NASH (i.e. influence on lowgrade inflammation and markers of fibrosis)
Through two-stage stratified cluster sampling, investigators studied the antiviral treatment rate and the main factors affecting the antiviral treatment in community chronic HBV infection-related liver disease population.
The primary aim of this study is to calculate the incidence of HCV reinfection after successful DAA treatment among people who have recently injected drugs. The secondary aim is to identify factors associated with reinfection in this population. Individuals with active injecting drug abuse with a chronic HCV infection who have achieved end of treatment response (ETR; defined as non-detectable HCV RNA at end of treatment) to any interferon-free DAA combination will be included in this multicenter interventional study.
This is a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study of safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity in both healthy volunteers and volunteers with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Healthy volunteers will be administered either a single oral dose or multiple oral doses of ATI-2173 and assessed for safety and tolerability including blood tests to show how the body metabolizes and eliminates the investigational drug. Volunteers with a diagnosis of chronic hepatitis B virus infection will be administered multiple oral doses of ATI-2173 and assessed for safety and tolerability including blood tests to show how the body metabolizes and eliminates the investigational drug as well as how the drug effects the virus infection.
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an immune-mediated and inflammatory liver disorder. It is currently divided into types 1 and 2, differentiated and defined by the presence of specific autoantibodies. The objectives are to describe the prevalence and incidence of type 1 and 2 autoimmune hepatitis and to analyze the clinics, biochemical and histopathological profiles at diagnosis and follow-up, initial therapy, response to therapy and long-term follow-up in three Italian centers of patients with type 1 and type 2 AIH.
