The prevalence of common mental disorders is high in patients with chronic inflammatory physical diseases(e.g., autoimmune or infectious diseases). The traditional explanatory causation model in which physical symptoms and related disability drive mental health problems is now called into question, and evidence has accumulated supporting more complex interactions whereby psychiatric disorders can both result from and contribute to the progression of physical diseases. In the present project, the investigators will focus on comorbidity of depression and anxiety symptoms or syndromes with chronic inflammatory skin diseases (psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa and atopic dermatitis) or chronic infectious diseases (chronic HBV and HIV infection). The study is aimed to clarify the mechanisms underlying the high frequency of those comorbidities. It will overcome the main limitations of previous investigations and use innovative statistical tools to model complex interrelationships and causal links among the assessed variables. The identification of key variables driving the causal chain of determinants of poor global health and quality of life may impact treatment outcome and models of care.
Vaccination coverage against HBV in France is around 30% in the adult population. Treatment with anti-CD20 is associated with a risk of reactivation of hepatitis B or acute or fulminant hepatitis in first-infected patients. HBV vaccination is recommended as before any anti-CD20 treatment in unimmunized patients. However, there is no recommendation on which vaccination regimen to choose in patients on immunosuppressants / corticosteroids or with inflammatory or autoimmune disease. For patients who have a need for rapid immunosuppressive therapy, the use of a standard vaccination schedule (D0, M1, M6) would be responsible for a loss of chance vis-à-vis the underlying disease with a delay of more than 6 months to start treatment with anti-CD20. An accelerated regimen (D0, D7, D21 and M12) allows healthy adults to obtain very rapid vaccine protection between 77 and 90.8%. The accelerated regimen can also be considered on a case-by-case basis in those adults with neurological pathologies, systemic vasculitis or autoimmune disease and who need to receive anti-CD20 antibodies if the combination of injections over a short period is likely to promote immunization. The advantage of the accelerated regimen is to obtain 4 weeks, after the third dose of vaccine, anti-HBs antibodies at a protective level (> 10 IU / L) in approximately 77 to 90.8% of patients and in the general population. The booster injection at 12 months is essential for long-term protection.
Hepatitis B virus infection is a worldwide disease and is still the most common cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Existing treatments for hepatitis B infection have various side-effects including renal toxicity and drug resistance or failure.
This is a phase 1, randomized, parallel-group, single-center study in healthy adult subjects. The study will be conducted in two parts sequentially: Part 1 is an open-label, two-arm, active-controlled design to evaluate the PK and safety of single oral dose of ETV XR tablet (1.5 mg) in healthy subjects. Part 1 will consist of 16 healthy subjects. Part 2 is a double-blind, three-arm, placebo-controlled design to evaluate the PK and safety of higher oral doses of ETV XR tablet (3 mg and 6 mg) in healthy subjects. Part 2 will consist of 24 healthy subjects.
- HBV is not curable with persistent HBsAg even after the disappearance of HBV DNA. - HBsAg > 1000 IU/ml is associated with the risk of virological recurrence and HCC. - There is an impaired immune response to HBsAg and HBV vaccine is an easily available, cost-effective, non-harmful method of stimulating immunity.
The purpose of this study is to recruit a random and representative sample of individuals within several Zambian communities for markers of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and to characterize chronic HBV infection and indications for treatment.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in China.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can result in a greater risk of adverse outcomes in HIV-infected individuals, including more rapid progression to cirrhosis and associated complications such as hepatocellular carcinoma. For this reason, as well as the shared routes of transmission between the two viruses, UK and International guidance recommends that all HBV-negative HIV-infected individuals be offered vaccination against HBV. Unfortunately, response rates in this population can be as low as 17.5 - 40% to standard vaccination courses. To improve this response, strategies such as the use of double dose of standard vaccines (e.g. Engerix B) is recommended in several guidelines for previous non-responders, although there is currently limited evidence for this approach. An alternative strategy is to use vaccines with novel adjuvants such as Fendrix and observational clinical data in the Investigators HIV cohort suggests that response rates can be as high as 81% of individuals achieving HBV surface antibody (HBsAb) levels >100 in a group that did not respond to previous standard HBV vaccine courses. However, the cost of Fendrix is considerably higher than Engerix B and controlled trials are required to confirm whether this approach is warranted. Furthermore, insights into the potential mechanisms by which Fendrix may elicit better responses would be valuable in optimising future vaccine strategies in this population. The Investigators propose to conduct a randomised, open label, active-controlled pilot study comparing double dose Engerix B and Fendrix in HIV-infected non-responders to standard HBV vaccine courses, which will provide the necessary data to design and power a larger multicentre randomised controlled trial. Outcome measures will include the proportion of individuals seroconverting with HBsAb levels >100 following each vaccination course, the magnitude and quality of the HBV-specific CD4+ T-cell responses elicited by each vaccine and the durability of the HBsAb response at 1 year following the end of vaccination.
