Filter by:The purpose of this study is to establish the dose-response relationship for antiviral activity of 3 dose levels of JNJ-73763989+nucleos(t)ide analog (NA) and to evaluate the efficacy of combination regimens of JNJ-73763989+NA (with and without JNJ-56136379) and of JNJ-56136379+NA.
As an alternative biomarker of intrahepatic covalently closed circular DNA(cccDNA) transcriptional activity, hepatitis B virus(HBV)RNA may evolve during long-lasting virus-host interactionsduring chronic hepatitis B viral infection.The distribution pattern of serum HBV RNA levels in the natural course of chronic HBV infection remains unclear. Furthermore,serum HBV RNA was associated with response to NAs. So it may be another clinical surrogate marker for intrahepatic cccDNA level after long-term NAs treatment and be used to monitor NAs therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate thelevels of HBV RNA during the natural courseof CHB and the role in distinguishingthe natural phases of HBV infection and to investigate whether serum HBV RNA level at the end of long-term NAs treatment had a similar or better predict effect on off-therapy relapse than serum HBsAg titer.
China is a highly prevalent area of hepatitis B virus（HBV） infection, with at least 75 million hepatitis B virus carriers, and 80% of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Liver transplantation is currently the preferred method for end-stage liver disease such as biliary atresia and cirrhosis in children. In recent years, children's liver transplantation has developed rapidly and the number of developments has increased significantly. If there is chronic hepatitis B virus infection in the donor liver, it may cause HBV transmission, or the patient may have a low-load occult hepatitis B virus infection, and after immunosuppressive treatment, it may lead to hepatitis B virus infection after surgery.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major public health problem facing the world, with more than 2 billion people infected with HBV. There are more than 400 million chronic carriers, and 75% of carriers live in the Asia Pacific region. The mother-to-child transmission route of hepatitis B virus is recognized as one of the most important routes of transmission, and recent studies have found that fathers who are carriers of HBV may also be one of the risk factors for HBV infection in children, but as far as the investigators know. Therefore, as a high-population area in China, the purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of HBV infection in this population.
This study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple ascending doses in healthy volunteers (HV) and participants diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
To investigate the efficacy of using antiviral therapy in third trimester of pregnancy to reduce mother-to-infant HBV transmission, and to access the safety of such treatment for mothers and infants.
Children with clinically diagnosed leukemia may experience occult HBV infection after chemotherapy immunosuppressive therapy, which may affect the normal course of leukemia treatment. However, this is not caused by clinically relevant diagnosis and treatment measures but exists in vivo.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy of 24 weeks of study treatment, in terms of changes in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels.
The goals of therapy against chronic hepatitis B are to decrease the morbidity and mortality related to chronic HBV infection. Currently available antiviral therapy can suppress viral replication but only a small proportion attain functional cure, which is defined as HBV surface antigen-to-antibody seroconversion. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is a marker of persistent hepatitis B infection. It has been observed that patients who had both hepatitis B and hepatitis C, and who were treated for their hepatitis C with 12 weeks of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir for had a decline in HBsAg levels. This study hypothesizes that a similar decrease would be seen in mono-infected hepatitis B subjects over the course of 12 weeks treatment with ledipasvir/sofosbuvir.
Chronic hepatitis B virus infection is a common condition in Zambia. Among Zambian blood donors, up to 8% are chronically infected with HBV. Despite the burden, awareness of HBV is low in Zambia and the Ministry of Health is in early stages of development of guidelines for HBV screening, treatment, and prevention. The purpose of this clinical cohort study is to characterize the clinical features of chronic HBV infection at UTH and describe treatment and care outcomes. The investigators will enroll 500 adults and follow the cohort for up to 5 years to assess short and long-term viral, serologic, and liver outcomes such as cirrhosis and liver cancer.
