Filter by:The aim of this study was to developed and validated models to predict hepatic decompensation and survivals in pediatric patients with cirrhosis and compared these models with currently available models.
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.
TAF treatment for HBV prophylaxis could lead to significant reduction in ALT and significant improvement in renal function. However, data are scarce regarding to TAF monotherapy without HBIG for HBV prophylaxis in post orthotopic liver transplant with HBV-related disease. This study is based on a real-world, multi-center, prospective study to assess the effectiveness and safety of TAF for HBV prophylaxis, which will fill in gaps with TAF monotherapy without HBIG in post liver transplant.
In a population of cirrhotics patients who did not responde to an anti-HBV vaccination according to the recommended vaccination, the goal is to : Describe the proportion of patients with HBs antibody levels greater than 10mUI/mL at 1 month of the last injection of vaccine ; with a M0-M1-M6 vaccine regimen using 3 vaccines strategies : - After simple intramuscular vaccine (IM) ( Control group ) - After simple intradermal vaccine - after IMIQUIMOD's application followed by intradermal vaccine administration The main hypothesis of this study is : IMIQUIMOD acts as an immunity booster, so the combination of IMIQUIMOD with an intra-dermal injection of the anti-HBV vaccine allows better acquisition of post-vaccination immunization.
Hepatitis B virus reactivation (HBVr) is an emerging issue and a potentially life-threatening complication to patients with history of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection whose immune system is deficient or suppressed. It is estimated that the risk of HBVr ranges 20%-50% in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive patients undergoing chemotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy. Not only HBsAg-positive patients but also HBsAg-negative/antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc)-positive patients (resolved hepatitis B) have the risk of HBVr. Recent studies also reported that the risk of HBVr associated with TNF-α inhibitor treatment widely ranged from 12.3% to 62.5%. Antiviral prophylaxis by nucleos(t)ide analogues (NUCs) is recommended for patients with high risk of HBVr according to 2018 AASLD guidance. Phase 3 studies reported that tenofovir alafenamide (Vemlidy, TAF) can effectively suppress HBV in both HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients, and TAF is superior to TDF in safety profiles and ALT normalization. However, the evidence of TAF in prevention HBV reactivation for patients with HBsAg-positive and imflammatory arthritis, who need bDMARDs are still missing.
This study is a randomized, prospective, comparative study of the effectiveness of prophylactic entecavir treatment for HBV reactivation in past HBV infected patients (HBsAg-, HBcIgG+) with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
The objective of this protocol is the collection and testing of clinical samples to determine the clinical performance of the Access HBV serological marker assays on the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer. The study will involve a multicenter, prospective and retrospective collection of samples, and testing of samples with the investigational Hepatitis B Virus assays as required per the European Union Common Technical Specification. All samples collected will be anonymized or pseudo-anonymised, leftover, remnant samples. Pseudo-anonymised collection of samples will require documented patient consent (oral or written).
The aim of this study is to compare the BW and metabolic profiles of CHB patient before and after shifting to TAF therapy. In this study, investigators will enroll 100 entecavir and 100 TDF treated CHB patients who will switch to TAF and then follow for one year. Demographic, liver function tests, sugar profiles, lipid profiles, ASCVD risk score, body weight, body weight, body height, and waist circumference will be checked and recorded periodically. Investigators anticipated that body weight will change significantly after switching to TAF in both entecavir and TDF group and may associated with increased risk of cardiovascular risk.
Liver transplantation is currently the only effective way to treat end-stage liver disease.The shortage of donor liver is still the major problem. Incidence of HBcAb+ varies between different regions. The HBcAb positive rate could be as high as 52% in China.HBcAb positive donor liver may enlarge donor pool and thus save ESLD patients. However, the use of HBcAb positive donor liver may induce HBV infection in hepatitis B negative recipient after liver transplantation. Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) has better stability in plasma and higher liver targeting property in comparison with tenofovir (TDF), with an extra amide bond, which allows strong antiviral effect with much less doses and reducing the renal and bone injury. Our study intends to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HBV prophylaxis treatment of TAF in HBV negative patients after receiving HBcAb positive donor livers.
TAF is a new prodrug of tenofovir, specifically designed to achieve higher intracellular active drug concentration allowing for dosing of only 25 mg once daily and thus can potentially lower the already relatively low risk of renal toxicity and bone loss with TDF. However, such renal and bone complications with TDF may become more pronounced in decompensated CHB patients10. In the phase 3 trials11, 12, TAF had demonstrated a compatible antiviral effect (noninferior efficacy), and a higher rate of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) normalization to TDF. TAF also demonstrated an improved renal function and less bone loss compared to TDF. Therefore, TAF was approved as the first line therapy for CHB patients with compensated liver function. The lack of data regarding TAF therapy in decompensated CHB patients raised the concern of safety and efficacy of TAF in this group of patients. A small, single arm Phase 2 switch study (GS-US-320-4035; Study 4035; NCT03180619) which has enrolled 31 subjects with CPT scores ≥7, either at time of screening or by history, who were virally suppressed on TDF and/or other oral antiviral agents is currently underway with favorable safety and efficacy results through 48 weeks.[Lim YS, Lin CY, Heo J, et al. EASL 2020, poster SAT442.] While Gilead Study 4035 will continue through 96 weeks of treatment, additional data in this population are thus needed, particularly in CHB patients who have decompensated liver disease and are not being treated and are viremic. Herein, we conduct the present study and aim to investigate the safety and efficacy of TAF in CHB patients with hepatic decompensation.
