Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the supplementation of vitamins D and B12 in combination with Pegylated Interferon-Alfa and Ribavirin in the treatment of genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C, who do not qualify to receive protease inhibitor in Brazil.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ARC-520 in combination with entecavir is effective in the treatment of patients with chronic HBV Infection.
The purpose of the study was to assess the efficacy and safety of telbivudine at a dose of 20 mg/kg up to a maximum of 600 mg q.d. in compensated pediatric HBeAg-positive and negative CHB patients aged 2 to <18 years with the indication of antiviral CHB treatment. This study was part of the commitments of the pediatric development plan for telbivudine in Europe and US.
The purpose of this study is to provide insights into the cause, development and effects of de novo autoimmune hepatitis so that prevention and treatment strategies can be developed in order to reduce post-liver transplant morbidity, the frequency of liver allograft loss and the need for re-transplantation.
The main purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of Obeticholic Acid when used in patients with moderately severe alcoholic hepatitis. The researchers suspect that individuals with alcoholic hepatitis have certain abnormalities in how their body handles bile acids (a product made by the liver on a daily basis) produced by the liver. Obeticholic acid has been shown to affect bile acid abnormalities and thus it is possible that obeticholic acid may improve liver condition in individuals with alcoholic hepatitis.
Hepatitis C is the leading cause of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis in United States veterans. Cirrhosis is associated with impaired antibody responses and increased risk of bacterial infections. We have recently identified that cirrhosis is associated with abnormalities of memory B-cells, cells that make antibodies and help protect against bacterial infections. We have identified that chemicals associated with gut bacteria might play a role in causing these B-cell abnormalities. It is well known that gut bacteria have increased access to the blood in individuals with cirrhosis, a process called bacterial translocation. We hypothesize that reducing bacteria counts in the gut by using poorly-absorbed antibiotics (also known as selective gut decontamination) will partially reverse losses of memory B-cells in cirrhosis by reducing bacterial translocation.
This study is being done to find out whether a diet supplemented with a probiotic nutrient can improve alcoholic hepatitis and gut complications compared to routine standard care.
Interferon-alpha (IFN-α) is an efficacious treatment for Hepatitis C (HPC); however, IFN-α treatment results in a significant increase in depressive symptoms. The aim of this project is to compare two health interventions (exercise vs. health education) to prevent depression in HPC patients receiving IFN-α. Participants will be recruited from the Clinical Center for Liver Diseases at UT-Southwestern and randomized to 26 weeks of either: aerobic exercise or a health education control group.
This prospective, multicenter, observational study will evaluate the sustained response in patients with HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B who are treated with Pegasys according to standard of care and in line with the current local labeling in routine clinical practice in Vietnam. Eligible patients will be followed for the duration of their treatment and for up to 2 years thereafter.
This prospective, multicenter, observational study will assess the prevalence of chronic hepatitis D in patients with chronic hepatitis B in Romania and evaluate the efficacy of Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) in patients with chronic hepatitis D. Eligible patients treated with Pegasys according to current medical practice will be followed until 24 weeks after the end of treatment.
