Filter by:This multicenter, randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial is focused on novel treatments for severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH), a life-threatening stage of alcoholic liver injury that has a short-term mortality rate much higher than that of other liver diseases. The primary objective of the study is to determine the clinical efficacy and safety of Anakinra (plus zinc) compared to the current standard medical treatment consisting of prednisone in participants with clinically severe AH. Key secondary objectives broadly are as follows: (a) to evaluate the use of biomarkers to assess disease severity and treatment response; and (b) to develop novel endpoints to overcome the limitations of current assessment strategies for severe AH.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) has infected over one third of the world's population; of these about 350 million go on to be chronic carriers. Infection with HBV can be self-limiting depending on age and immunity status of the infected person. Acute infection with HBV is cleared within six months of initial infection while chronic infection can last longer than six months. HBV can be transmitted perinatally, sexually, horizontally, through direct contact with infectious body fluids or blood, being pricked with an infected needle and injury from instruments contaminated with infectious body fluid or blood. Certain population groups are at higher risk of infection with HBV. Among these populations is that of health care workers (HCWs). In this population, HBV infection can occur through occupational exposure. In fact, the hepatitis B virus is more contagious than human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) during a needle stick injury (30% versus 0.5%). It is therefore imperative that HCWs are highly knowledgeable about HBV and how they can prevent transmission. Protection from HBV infection can be achieved by means of vaccination after which the HBV vaccine has been shown to be 90-100% effective.
Comparison of Immunogenicity and Safety of DTP-HB-Hib (Bio Farma) with Pentabio® vaccine Primed with Recombinant Hepatitis B
This study was a clinical observational cohort study of two-way, non-intervention long-term dynamic follow-up. Enrolled in the Department of Liver Diseases, Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University, with interferon combined with ribavirin (PR) antiviral therapy (PR treatment greater than or equal to 6 months) and/or direct acting antivirals (DAAs) In patients with chronic hepatitis C, the baseline, antiviral treatment and withdrawal follow-up data before the antiviral treatment were collected, and the patients were followed up for 3-6 months. Clinical data such as clinical biochemistry, HCV RNA and serological markers (anti-HCV), AFP and liver imaging (liver ultrasound) were collected during the study period. At least 144 weeks of observation on the virological response and clinical outcome of anti-viral treatment of chronic hepatitis C, the main evaluation index of liver cancer and decompensated liver cirrhosis after stopping the drug, and exploring the antiviral treatment of patients Long-term virological response and clinical outcomes, clarifying their influencing factors.
Phase II: Exploring the efficacy and safety of different doses of SH229 tablets combined with fixed-dose Daclatasvi dihydrochloride (DCV) tablets in the treatment of adult patients with chronic hepatitis C for 12 weeks, providing a basis for the design and implementation of phase III clinical trials. Phase III: Confirmation of the efficacy and safety of SH229 tablets combined with Daclatasvi dihydrochloride (DCV) tablets in the treatment of adult patients with chronic hepatitis C for 12 weeks, providing a sufficient basis for drug registration and clinical use.
The objective of this study is to identify immunological mechanisms that contribute to normalization of liver inflammation in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients starting the antiviral nucleoside analogue, Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF).
Entecavir 1 mg is commonly used in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with previous antiviral resistance. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of switching to generic entecavir 1 mg (Baracle®, Dong-A Science Technology) in CHB patients taking brand name entecavir 1 mg (Baraclude®, Bristol-Myers Squibb) alone or in combination with other nucleos(t)ide analogues after the development of antiviral resistance. The primary aim is virological response (<20 IU/mL) at 12 months
The patients of Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis (SAH) will be included in study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patients will be then randomized in 3 groups for therapy. They will receive either steroid or Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (GCSF) or both. They will be followed for atleast 90 days for improvements in symptoms and various predefined parameters. Primary outcome will be improvement in survival at 90 Days. Patients will be monitored at every follow up for disease progression and complications of therapy. The study results will be analyzed for differences in survival rate and complications in different groups to propose new therapeutic guideline in SAH patients.
This study is a single-group, multi-center and prospective clinical study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of TAF in blocking mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus.Pregnant women whose HBsAg and HBeAg are positive are included in the study.Eligible hepatitis B pregnant women are given TAF antiviral therapy at 24-28 weeks of gestation to block mother-to-child transmission and followed up during pregnancy and after delivery.The study will be initiated with approval by the central ethics committee.Subjects will start screening after signing the informed consent form. Those who meet the criteria will start taking TAF (25mg, oral, 1/day) at 24-28 weeks of gestation until one month after delivery.At that time, chronic hepatitis B carrier will stop taking antiviral therapy, and patients with chronic hepatitis B decide whether to continue the therapy according to the patient's condition.The babies born are immunized according to the national standard immunization program,, that is, 100 IU of hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) and 10 μg/0.5 ml of hepatitis B vaccine are given within 12 hours after birth. And the same dose of hepatitis B vaccine is given at 1 month and 6 months of age.
This is a cohort of people who inject drugs with chronic HCV infection. Patients are seen at a low-threshold clinic. All patients are offered treatment for HCV and subsequently followed for to years
