Filter by:Background: The COVID-19 global pandemic killed more than 6 million people worldwide. Several vaccines have been developed against the virus that causes this disease. These vaccines are effective at preventing severe symptoms and death from COVID-19. Some people with chronic liver disease, especially those with an advanced condition called cirrhosis, do not respond to many vaccines as well as healthy people do. The goal of this natural history study is to find out how well people with chronic liver disease respond to the COVID-19 vaccines. Objective: To learn how chronic liver disease affects the body s immune response to vaccination against COVID-19. Eligibility: People aged 18 years or older with chronic liver disease. They must also be enrolled in protocol 91-DK-0214 or 18-DK-0091. Design: Participants will have 3 visits, each spaced 6 months apart. Each visit will last 2 hours. Participants will have their vital signs recorded. These include age, sex, race, height, and weight. They will give their medical history. At each visit, participants will have blood drawn through a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. The sample drawn at each visit will be from 1 to 8 tablespoons. At each visit, participants will fill out a questionnaire. They will answer questions about whether they have been vaccinated against COVID-19; whether they have had COVID-19; and whether they have been exposed to someone who had COVID-19. The questionnaire will take 10 to 15 minutes. Researchers will also look at results of past blood tests from other research studies.
This study is intended to confirm the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, and the durability of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) suppression observed with bepirovirsen for 24 weeks (with loading doses) as compared to the placebo arm. This study will have 4 stages: a) Double-blind treatment (bepirovirsen or placebo) for 24 weeks. b) Nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) treatment for 24 weeks. c) NA cessation stage OR Continue NA for 24 weeks. d) Durability of response and follow up for further 24 weeks for participants who stopped NA treatment at Week 48. The arms will be stratified based on HBsAg level (HBsAg greater than or equal to [≥] 100 international unit per milliliter [IU/mL] to less than or equal [≤]1000 IU/mL or greater than [>] 1000 IU/mL to ≤3000 IU/mL) at screening. The total duration of the study, including screening (up to 60 days), the double-blind treatment stage (24 weeks), the On NA only stage (24 weeks), and the NA cessation and durability stages (48 weeks) is up to approximately 104 weeks at maximum for each participant.

This is a Phase 1b/2 platform study framework to evaluate the safety and efficacy of investigational candidate(s) and their combinations as potential treatments for adults with chronic hepatitis B virus infection.
An exploratory comparison of changes in liver fibrosis through glycemic control within and between groups after administration of Pioglitazone and Evogliptin in chronic hepatitis B patients with type 2 diabetes and liver fibrosis
Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), a novel prodrug of tenofovir (TFV), has been approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. TAF has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of HBV replication at a low dose, with high intracellular concentration and more than 90% lower systemic TFV concentration than tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). TAF has been approved in the clinical practice guidelines in the west. Since its availability in Asia in 2017, there have been evolving data concerning its positive impact on renal safety as shown in registration trials. The primary objective of this study is to compare the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in chronic hepatitis B patients on TAF versus ETV in a territory-wide cohort in Hong Kong.
This study will assess the safety, efficacy and immune response following the sequential treatment of GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) ASO compound (GSK3228836) and CHB-TI (GSK3528869A) in participants 18 to 65 years stable on NA treatment for CHB. The aim is to quantify the efficacy of sequential therapy as well as to determine an added value of sequential therapy over GSK3228836 therapy in CHB patients treated with NAs. In addition, the study will assess the effect of different treatment durations of GSK3228836 (12 or 24 weeks) prior to initiating GSK3528869A treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy of the study intervention, based on hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels at follow-up (FU) Week 24.
In the globe, about 33% (2 billion) of population has ever been infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV), and about 5% (350-400 million) were chronical HBV infection. In areas with high prevalence of hepatitis B, up to 80% of primary liver cancers are associated with HBV infection. About 25% of chronic hepatitis B virus carrier (more than 1 million people per year) eventually die of end stage liver disease associated with HBV infection, such as liver failure associated with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. HBV replicates in the liver, which increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in HBV carriers. Studies have shown that the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in HBV carriers was 10-100 folds higher than that of non-carriers. Clinically, there are primarily two types of antiviral drugs: α-interferons (plain and pegylated ([PEG-IFN]α-2a or α-2b) interferons) and nucleos(t)ide analogues (NUC) including lamivudine (LAM), adefovir dipivoxil (ADV), entecavir (ETV), telbivudine (LDT), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF) and tenofovir alafenamide fumarate(TAF). With the development and application of antiviral drugs in recent years, the basic goal of maintain suppression against virus replication has been achieved, and HBsAg loss is considered as function cure of antiviral therapy. However, data from clinical studies showed a very low cure rate of current antiviral drugs and a natural HBsAg loss usually is less than 3%. The vast majority of clinical patients require long-term antiviral treatment and have difficulties in treatment stop. The AI data mining system innovated by the Holy Haid owns a ten-million-scaled database and utilizes dozens of HBV-associated targets to identify 100 drugs that are most closely to the targets among the 500 commercially available drugs. With the identified 100 drugs, Holy Haid (Ying-ying Li) and Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital (Lai Wei) conducted a cytological verification in mice, which indicated that the HD042 (Celecoxib) at 20uM concentration can inhibit HBV DNA, HBsAg and HBeAg by 70.87%, 88.52% and 87.55% respectively, without significant cytotoxicity. Based on this, Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital (Lai Wei) retrospectively analyzed 1,114,661 patients admitted to 304 hospitals in 107 cities of 21 provinces and municipalities from January 1, 2019 to October 31, 2020 and identified 19,692 patients with the results of two HBsAg tests available and an interval of over 30 days. Among these, 3,359 patients had ever took HD042 (Celecoxib). Further analysis showed that these 3,359 patients, and screened out 383 patients who were diagnosed of hepatitis B and excluded from tumor with two HBsAg levels > 0.05IU/ml but ≤1500IU/ml. Among these, 110 patients were prescribed for more than 5 Celecoxib doses (about 30 days of treatment). Among the 110 patients, we screened out 27 patients on Celecoxib for 12 weeks whose HBsAg expression decreased by 59.2% after 12 weeks, including HBsAg clearance rate (i.e., HBsAg decreased to < 0.05IU/ mL) up to 18.5%. Celecoxib, a specific inhibitor of Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), has been widely used in clinical practice as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug. Studies have shown that Celecoxib improves NASH by inhibiting inflammatory responses. In addition, some studies have also shown that COX-2 is highly expressed in hepatitis B related hepatocellular carcinoma, resulting in cancerous tissue microangiogenesis. Cytological test found that Celecoxib, as a COX-2 specific inhibitor, can inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells by induced apoptosis and cell cycle inhibition, and have a even stronger effect on HBsAg positive liver cancer cells. However, the inhibitory effect of Celecoxib on the hepatitis B surface antigen in patients with chronic hepatitis B remained controversial. Therefore, this study is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of Celecoxib in the hepatitis B surface antigen loss and reduction in nucleoside-treated patients with chronic hepatitis B.
