Filter by:HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with low Level HBsAg were enrolled. After giving informed consent, patients were treated with nucleoside analog(s) (NAs) once a day and weekly subcutaneous injections of peginterferon alfa-2a 180 micrograms/week or peginterferon alfa-2b 180 micrograms/week for 12 weeks. At week 12, the decrease of HBsAg was evaluated. ①If the decrease of HBsAg is more than 50% compared to baseline level. NAs was stopped, patients were treated with weekly subcutaneous injections of alfa-2a 180 micrograms/week or peginterferon alfa-2b 180 micrograms/week. Treatment endpoint was HBsAg loss(＜0.05 IU/ mL). Depending on the decline of HBsAg level, treatment was either continued for a prolonged period (no more than 96 weeks) until the endpoint was achieved, or terminated in week 96. After treatment, all patients were followed up for 48 weeks. ②If the decrease of HBsAg is less than 50% compared to baseline level. The combination therapy of NAs and peginterferon alfa was extended to week 24. Then, the decrease of HBsAg was evaluated again. If the decrease of HBsAg is more than 50% compared to baseline level. NAs was stopped, patients were treated with weekly subcutaneous injections of alfa-2a 180 micrograms/week or peginterferon alfa-2b 180 micrograms/week. Treatment endpoint was HBsAg loss(＜0.05 IU/mL). Depending on the decline of HBsAg level, treatment was either continued for a prolonged period (no more than 96 weeks) until the endpoint was achieved, or terminated in week 96. After treatment, all patients were followed up for 48 weeks. If the decrease of HBsAg is less than 50% compared to baseline level. Peginterferon alfa was stopped, patients were treated with NAs once a day and then followed up for 48 weeks. Patients who maintained the original NAs treatment served as a control group.
To Identify the collected cases who can stop NAs safely with satisfactory clinical outcome including sustain viral remission and HBsAg clearance among chronic hepatitis B(CHB) patients.
Open-label, extension study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination therapy and its effect on sustained viral response biomarkers.
Renal impairment is common in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection. For those taking nucleotide analogues, renal toxicity of adefovir disoproxil (ADV) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a significant concern in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Early observational clinical data suggested that telbivudine (LdT) might have renoprotective effects. In this prospective study, consecutive CHB patients on combined lamivudine (LAM)+ADV/TDF are switched to LdT+ADV/TDF at recruitment and are followed up for 24 months. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is calculated with the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation. The effects of LdT on cell viability and expression of kidney injury or apoptotic biomarkers are investigated in cultured renal tubular epithelial cell line HK-2.
A total of 2000 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with liver biopsy performed at least 1 year after antiviral therapy are enrolled. All the patients will receive original antiviral treatment for the following 10 years. Patients will be assessed at baseline and at every six months for blood count, liver function test, alpha fetoprotein (AFP), prothrombin time, liver ultrasonography, liver stiffness measurement (LSM), Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and HBV serological markers. HBV-related endpoint events, including cirrhosis decompensations (ascites, esophageal variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), liver transplantation and liver-related death, will be collected during follow-up.
DCR-HBVS will be evaluated for safety and efficacy in healthy volunteers and chronic hepatitis B patients.
This is a randomized, open-label, positive-control, dose-escalation Phase 1b trial in 60 patients with chronic HBV infection to determine the safety, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of QL-007 after administration over 28 days of multiple oral doses in a fasted state at the following planned dose levels: 200, 400, and then 600 mg.
This study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple ascending doses in healthy volunteers (HV) and participants diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) leads to life-threatening disease like liver failure and liver cancer. For most, a cure is unattainable as current HBV antiviral therapy (using nucleoside analogues) are not able to clear the virus from their liver. While HBV treatments are typically administered alone (monotherapy), this study will explore the use of Ribavirin in combination with standard therapy to enhance current treatment regimens. Ribavirin is commonly used to treat Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) but there is evidence that Ribavirin also induces immune effects that are beneficial in HBV treatment. The aim of this study is to determine whether combination of Ribavirin and a nucleoside analog is more effective compared to nucleoside analog treatment alone. Enrolled patients will be followed for treatment response according to standard clinical and virological tests, as well as immune response to HBV. Our ultimate goal is to find a more effective treatment and improve health outcomes for persons living with HBV.
Treatment with Tenofovir Alafenamide(TAF) in Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) patients classified as beyond treatment indication of current international guidelines (e.g. aged more than 40 years old and 4 ≤ log HBV-DNA IU/mL < 8) is expected to bring improvement in long-term clinical outcomes. This expected result may expand the treatment indications in patients with CHB based on age and HBV-DNA in contrast to current international guidelines of CHB.
