Filter by:This trial will be done in participants who undergo transplantation of heart, kidney or lung at University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and receive a hepatitis C infected donor organ. In this trial, the plan is to start hepatitis C treatment just before transplant surgery and treat for a short one-week course to see if hepatitis C infection can be prevented in the transplant recipient. The plan is to perform this trial in 10 participants and if successful, the next step is to try to make it standard of care as prevention of infection is better than treating hepatitis C after discharge from transplant surgery (which is usually a 12 week standard treatment).
The purpose of this study is to assess changes in intrahepatic hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) between baseline and on-treatment liver biopsy in response to JNJ-3989-based combination treatment.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is among the most common of all chronic liver diseases. HCV predominantly affects liver cells and causes the liver to become inflamed and damaged. This can lead to cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver cancer or the need for liver transplant. This study will evaluate how effective glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) is in participants with chronic HCV infection. Effectiveness will be assessed as the achievement of sustained virologic response. GLE/PIB is an approved drug for the treatment of HCV. Participants 12 years or older with chronic HCV infection will be enrolled. This is a prospective (conducted in future) study in therapy of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment-experienced participants with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. Around 67 participants will be enrolled at multiple sites in Russian Federation. Participants will receive oral GLE/PIB tablets as prescribed by the physician in accordance with local clinical practice, international guidelines and/or label. Prescription is independent from this study and is decided before providing opportunity to the participate in the study. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. All study visits will occur during routine clinical practice and participants will be followed for 12 weeks.
In this study, individuals without hepatitis C infection who are on the kidney transplant waitlist will receive a kidney from a deceased donor with hepatitis C infection and will be treated for hepatitis C at the same time. Treatment will include glecaprevir 300 mg / pibrentasvir 120 mg (G-P) administered on-call to the operating room for the renal transplant procedure and continued for 2 weeks post-renal transplant.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2b clinical Trial evaluating Safety and Efficacy of DUR-928 (an experimental medication) in Patients with Alcoholic Hepatitis (AH).
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, especially chronic, is a significant worldwide medical problem. This is an exploratory study of the therapeutic mechanism of GSK3228836 in participants with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) on stable nucleos(t)ide therapy (which is the first line therapy for CHB). This study is a Phase IIa, multi-center open label exploratory study of the therapeutic mechanism of GSK3228836 in participants with hepatitis B virus e-antigen (HBeAg)-negative CHB on stable nucleos(t)ide therapy using repeat fine needle aspirations of the liver for intrahepatic immunophenotyping. It will investigate the virologic and immunologic correlates of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) loss observed in participants when treated for 12 weeks with 300 milligrams (mg) GSK3228836. Repeat fine needle aspirates of the liver will be performed to enable analysis of liver-resident immune cells to investigate any immunomodulatory properties of GSK3228836 and to study the biology of underlying treatment-associated liver flares. The study will consist of a screening, treatment, and post-treatment follow-up phase. Approximately 20 participants will be enrolled in the study.
Drinking large amount of alcohol can cause damage to the liver. If the liver is severely injured by alcohol it can become very inflamed and this condition is called alcoholic hepatitis. Alcoholic hepatitis can be life threatening. There is no cure for alcoholic hepatitis. It is known that stop drinking and have good nutrition can help the liver to recover. Infections are very common for people who suffer from alcoholic hepatitis. Sometimes these infection can be very severe. It is not always possible to find out where the infection is coming from. But the bacteria living in the bowel may move to other organs causing these infections and an illness like alcoholic hepatitis can cause "bad bacteria" to take over from "good bacteria" in the gut. This study wants to understand the changes in the bacteria in the bowel of people who have an acute inflammation of the liver cause by alcohol (alcoholic hepatitis). The investigators will take stool samples from patients admitted in the hospital with alcoholic hepatitis. The investigators will run tests on the stools that can find out which bacteria live in the bowel. Its is expected to find these bacteria to be different from the ones living in the bowel of healthy people. The investigators are interested to see if these bacteria change once the patients are given good nutrition using a small tube from the nose to the stomach. This type of nutrition is used routinely to help improve the liver in severe alcoholic hepatitis. The investigators will take some more stool sample from these patients after the nutrition through the tube has started to check how the bacteria change with nutrition. Better tools to check the bacteria in the bowel are now available so this can help the investigators to understand better if changing bacteria in the bowel can help recovery in alcoholic hepatitis.
This study was designed to evaluate the rate of subjects with HBV DNA less than 20 IU/mL after taking TenofoBell® tablet for 48 weeks
This study will use a stepped-wedge cluster randomized clinical trial to evaluate a health system initiative to set defaults in the electronic health record admission order set to nudge inpatient hepatitis C (HCV) screening.
This is a single center study characterizing the experience of administration of 4 weeks of pan-genotypic DAA therapy in kidney transplantation to prevent the transmission of hepatitis C virus infection from an HCV-positive donor kidney to an HCV-negative recipient.
