Filter by:Recent TAF has introduced to have more safe profiles than TDF in clinical trials. Especially, TDF has the renal safety issue in high risk group including HIV, decompensated cirrhosis (ascites), uncontrolled DM etc. However, there is no available cohort data for treatment efficacy and safety in TDF-TAF switch therapy in treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis B. The aim of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of TAF switch therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B who have been treated with TDF.
A retrospective and prospective study among people living with HIV (PLWH) that assesses hepatitis C (HCV) treatment uptake during periods before and after direct acting antivirals (DAA) introduction, and its impact on the HCV epidemic among PLWH.
Children with clinically diagnosed leukemia may experience occult HBV infection after chemotherapy immunosuppressive therapy, which may affect the normal course of leukemia treatment. However, this is not caused by clinically relevant diagnosis and treatment measures but exists in vivo.
The present research aims to collect virological and clinical data on hepatitis E virus (HEV) infections, either in acute or chronic forms of HEV infection in North-Eastern France, with liver- or non liver-related symptoms, plus data on HEV circulation in the outside environment. The purpose of this study is to improve the diagnosis and care of HEV-infected patients, as well as the preventive features to take into account in order to avoid food- and environment-borne infections. At last, we will investigate HEV molecular characteristics, with the hypothesis that some advantageous HEV strains coul be more pathogenic for some tissues and/or organs.
The primary purpose of the ANRS 12332 HepNile study cohort is to assess in "Real-Life" condition the efficacy and the safety profile of new Direct Acting Antivirals (DAAs) introduced in the Egyptian National Treatment Programme for the treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC).
Background and Aims: The prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) infection in Punjab, India is 3.29%, with an estimated burden of around 650,000 viremic chronic HCV (CHC) patients. The Mukh Mantri Punjab Hepatitis C Relief Fund (MMPHCRF) was launched in June 2016 to provide free treatment to all CHC aiming to eliminate HCV from Punjab. The study assessed the feasibility of decentralized care and efficacy and safety of 12 or 24 weeks of sofosbuvir (SOF) + ledipasvir (LDV) or SOF + daclatasvir (DCV) ± ribavirin (RBV) in the treatment of CHC patients in a public health care setting.
The Mukh-Mantri Punjab Hepatitis C Relief Fund (MMPHCRF) is a public health initiative for prevention and control of hepatitis C in the Punjab state, India. The efficacy of decentralised public health services and safety of 12- or 24-weeks of sofosbuvir (SOF) + ledipasvir (LDV) or SOF + daclatasvir (DCV) with or without ribavirin (RBV) in the treatment of pediatric chronic hepatitis C will be assessed
Immunoprophylaxis with two hepatitis B vaccinations following the hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIg) and hepatitis B vaccine at birth is largely effective in protecting infants from hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, hepatitis B infection due to immunoprophylaxis failure often occurs in approximately 10% of infants who are born to highly viremic mothers with HBeAg-positive. Maternal HBV DNA > 200,000 IU/mL is the major independent risk for mother-to-child transmission (MTCT). A recent randomized controlled trial has shown that Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) use during the third trimester of pregnancy could safely reduce the rate of MTCT with few adverse effects when combined with the administration of the standard immunoprophylaxis to the infants. However, HBIg is expensive and not available in many developing countries, resulting approximately 30% of infant infection when they received only HBV vaccination. The present study aims to investigate if highly viremic mothers who are treated with TDF from the second trimester to delivery in combination of infant's standard series of HBV vaccinations (omission of HBIg) have a comparable MTCT rates, when compared to those of mothers who receive TDF at the third trimester in combination of infant's standard HBV vaccinations and a birth dose of HBIg.
According to the guidelines for treating hepatitis C livers stiffness (LS) measurement is equivalent to liver biopsy to prove grade-2 fibrosis or more by Metavir-score. Also flares of inflammation in other viral hepatitis (B) have been reported to increase the elastography measurements. There are very few reports so far on longitudinal data in a treatment cohort. In this study investigators will follow patients who undergo active treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV). Investigators will collect longitudinal data of liver elastography and compare this to the current status of liver inflammation by blood samples. This may be important in order to know if transcutaneous US with elastography can be used as a tool to monitor active inflammation in liver disease and to quantify how much the inflammatory component contribute to LS and finally if it is possible to reverse not only inflammation but also liver fibrosis by treating viral hepatitis. Our aim is to assess shear wave elastography (SWE) and investigate if the method can be used, not only to define the indication for treatment through LS measurements, but also if LS due to inflammation and fibrosis may be reversible in treated patients. To investigate what role frequency of measurement obtains in follow up of patients with HCV play.
Chronic hepatitis B(CHB) is a common infectious disease affecting up to 2 billion people worldwide. Around 650 thousand people died of liver failure, cirrhosis and primary liver cancer caused by chronic hepatitis B every year. Age is the main factor affecting the chronicity of hepatitis B, while 90% and 25% to 30% of hepatitis b virus(HBV) infection in perinatal and infant period will develop into chronic infection respectively. Whereas the proportion in patients above 5 years old is only 5% to 10%. Intestinal microbiota plays an important role in maintaining normal physiological function of the intestine and the immune function of the body. It has been found that the disorder of intestinal microbiota is associated with numerous intestinal and parenteral diseases. Intestinal microbiota transplantation(IMT) is a significant method to reconstruct intestinal flora. Recently, the relationship between immune response and intestinal microbiota has been claimed. In a previous study using IMT to treat HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B patients combined with antiviral therapy, 80% of them has reached HBeAg clearance. The investigators propose a randomised trial of IMT in patients with chronic hepatitis B combined with antiviral therapy. The investigators will assess the serum HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-HBe, anti-hepatitis B core antigen, the relief of gastrointestinal symptoms, and the fecal microbiota before and after IMT. Patients will be randomized to either antiviral therapy or IMT combined antiviral therapy over a 26 weeks period.
