Filter by:Compared to nucleoside/nucleotide analogues, peginterferon alfa 2a/2b may has more therapeutic efficacy in hepatitis B surface antigen or e antigen seroconversion and anti-tumor occurrence in chronic hepatitis b patients. We design this study to investigate treatment of peginterferon alfa 2a/2b in anti-virus treatment experienced patients with HBV related liver fibrosis.

Hepatitis C is a public health problem and the high cost of the Direct-Acting Antivirals (DAA) is one of the main limitations for treatment worldwide. In Colombia, the Ministry of Health and Social Protection (MoHSP) has made progress in addressing Hepatitis C problem in order to control the infection and resolve barriers to access to medicines. One of the strategies implemented was the purchase of DAA, in association with the PAHO, and the instauration of the Clinical Pathway for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. The implementation of the Clinical Pathway has required the integration of health care processes and the respective report in the health information systems, allowing a high level of control in the monitoring of the Hepatitis C and the subsequent generation of indicators. However, there is limited information on the effects of the strategic purchase and the instauration of the Clinical Pathway on the costs of care, clinical outcomes and the quality of health care for patients with Hepatitis C in Colombia. The aim of this study is to establish the effect of strategic purchasing and the Clinical Pathway for the treatment of chronic Hepatitis C, in the clinical results, in the general costs and quality of health care of Hepatitis C patients in Colombia.
The main purpose of the study is to determine the antiviral efficacy and evaluate the safety and tolerability of sofosbuvir/ velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) and sofosbuvir/ velpatasvir/ voxilaprevir (SOF/VEL/VOX) used to treat individuals with chronic hepatitis C virus infection in Rwanda adults.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with significant morbidity and mortality owing to progression of a high percentage (85%) of HCV infected patients to chronic hepatitis, which might lead to the development of liver cirrhosis or hepato cellular carcinoma.. Egypt has possibly the highest HCV prevalence in the world, 10-20% of the general population .
Worldwide, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major cause of acute hepatitis, and chronic infection with HBV often leads to chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. So far, the most effective way to prevent HBV infection in susceptible population is to inject hepatitis B vaccine. However, long-term protection against hepatitis B virus (HBV) after vaccination remains widely debated. This study aims to carry out a comprehensive study to evaluate the efficacy of hepatitis B vaccine booster from the aspect of humoral and cellular immunity in neonatally vaccinated children in Chongqing.
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.
The primary aim of this open-label, randomized control trial is to compare the immunogenicity at week 28 after 20µg HBV vaccine (at week 0, 4, 24) versus 40µg HBV vaccine (40-µg at week 0, 4, 24 week) among HIV-positive patients or HIV-negative MSM who were born in Taiwan after July 1986 and tested negative for all HBV serological markers. The secondary aims are to assess the safety of double-dose HBV vaccination, the proportions of high-level responders (anti-HBs antibody >100 mIU/ml) at weeks 28 and 48, the serological responses at week 48, and incident HBV infection (indicated by appearance of anti-HBc and/or HBsAg) at week 48.
The purpose of this research study is to create a clinical database and bio-repository. To do this, we will obtain blood, urine, saliva, and stool samples (e.g., biological samples) and personal health information from you to use in future research studies related to alcoholic hepatitis or other diseases. Part of your blood sample will be used to extract your DNA. DNA is the genetic material that gives us unique characteristics. We are doing this research study because we are trying to find out more about how and why illnesses related to alcoholic hepatitis or other diseases occur in people. To do this, we will study the biological samples and personal health information from healthy and sick people. A "biological sample" is usually blood, but can be any body fluid. "Personal Health Information" includes such items as your name, age, gender, race, and/or your medical information. It can also include data from measurements and tests that you had while participating in another research study or that were done during the course of your regular medical care or doctor visits.
