Filter by:This study was to assess the safety and efficacy of Seraprevir in combination with sofosbuvir in patients with Hepatitis C (HCV) genotype2,3,6. Efficacy was assessed by the rate of sustained viral response (SVR) 12 weeks after the discontinuation of therapy (SVR12).
Alcoholic hepatitis carries a risk of high mortality at short term, especially in its severe form. Its diagnosis is confirmed by liver biopsy. The prevalence of alcoholic hepatitis, severe or not severe, is poorly known and prospective data are needed. The present observational study aims to define the prevalence of alcoholic hepatitis among patients admitted for jaundice and determine their outcome according to the severity. Survival and markers of liver dysfunction will be assessed. A biobank including genetic samples will be created to identify the disease profile in terms of inflammation and regeneration. The performance of non-invasive criteria for diagnosis will also be studied.
Chronic alcohol consumption is associated with intestinal bacterial dysbiosis, yet little is known about the role of intestinal fungi, or mycobiota in liver disease. Although the intestinal microbiome contains bacteria, fungi, and viruses, research in the field of liver disease has almost exclusively focused on the interaction between the host and gut bacteria. The fungal microbiota is an integral part of the gastrointestinal micro-ecosystem with up to 106 microorganisms per gram of faeces. Numerous interactions between fungi and bacteria and the complex immune response to gastrointestinal commensal or pathogenic fungi have been demonstrated in prior studies. Alcohol-dependent patients display a reduced intestinal fungal diversity and Candida overgrowth. Compared with healthy individuals and patients with non-alcohol-related cirrhosis, alcoholic cirrhosis patients also demonstrate systemic exposure and immune response to mycobiota. Thus, chronic alcohol consumption is associated with an altered mycobiota and translocation of fungal products. Manipulating the intestinal mycobiome might be an effective strategy for attenuating alcohol-related liver disease especially alcoholic hepatitis. In this study, we will attempt to find out the natural fungal mycobiome in Severe alcoholic hepatitis when compared with apparently healthy asymptomatic controls from their family. This will allow us to therapeutically modify the unbalanced gut microbiota and improve patient outcomes. Secondly, it will provide further insight as to why alcohol-associated hepatitis patients are particularly susceptible to fungal infections. In the age of frequent antibacterial drug therapy, the role of commensal and pathogenic fungi in the human gut has gained paramount importance.
Most patients with Chronic Hepatitis B are on nucleoside analogy (NA) long term, but this leads to HBsAg loss (defined as functional cure) of only 2% at 6 years. Recently a number of studies have shown significant HBsAg loss rates after stopping nucleoside analogues (NA). However, no criteria to select such patients have been evaluated. Consequently, the objective of the study is not only to determine the proportion of patients able to achieve HBsAg loss in those with qHBsAg≤100IU/ml. The study is designed as a randomised control trial with 1:2 parallel arm randomisation to continuing NA or stopping therapy. Patients will be monitored after stopping therapy for Hepatitis B flares and also to document HBsAg loss.
Inflammatory responses in response to alcohol have been identified as contributing to the development of alcoholic hepatitis. The inflammatory response including that to LippoPolySaccharide is known to lead to progression of alcoholic liver disease. In addition to the inflammatory response mitochondrial perturbations exist and redox homeostasis is altered in patients with alcoholic hepatitis. Though this is known there have been very few studies targeting mitochondrial function in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs). We plan to collect 50 milliliters of blood from healthy control patients so that we can compare the data to that of patients with alcoholic hepatitis and those who are heavy drinkers without liver disease. In addition to studying mitochondrial function we will investigate cytokine response, as well as fatty acid metabolism, glucose, and insulin measurements
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.
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).
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.
The Eliminate Hepatitis C (EC) Partnership project is a multi-site, multi-year project aiming to enhance and extend hepatitis C virus (HCV) care and treatment among people who inject drugs (PWID) through nurse-led models of care in the community and the prison system. The project will implement and evaluate a health service intervention to enhance HCV response by improving health promotion, offering training and education to service providers, streamlining clinical pathways, utilising data systems and surveillance and implementing the results of ongoing research and evaluation. Health services data will be used to assess the impact of the EC nurse-led support, to enhance the clinical pathway and increase HCV testing, linkage to care and treatment uptake in community and prison settings. This will include provider and client interviews and a sentinel surveillance system (ACCESS) that will track and monitor impact indicators including HCV testing, linkage to care and treatment uptake at the service and population level. Overall, evaluation data will be used to monitor the uptake of HCV treatment in PWID, monitor the effectiveness of community- and prison-based treatment program and assess the cost and feasibility of treating >1160 PWID in community-/prison-based program and assess changes in HCV prevalence in Victoria and modelling the impact of treating PWID to inform HCV elimination models in Australia and globally.
