Filter by:This multicenter, prospective, observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) in routine clinical practice in patients with HBeAg-positive or HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B. Eligible patients receiving treatment with Pegasys according to standard of care and the summary od product characteristics/local labelling will be followed for the duration of treatment and up to 2 years of follow-up.
This study will provide a rationale for switch from lamivudine plus adefovir to tenofovir monotherapy in Lamivudine plus Adefovir Treated Lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B patients with Undetectable Hepatitis B Virus DNA
The investigators aim to clarify the issue of adequate duration of consolidation period of Chronic hepatitis B infection with antiviral treatment with Tenofovir which could strike a balance between durable HBeAg seroconversion and avoiding long-term inevitable serological or virological recurrence.
It is estimated that 350-400 million people worldwide are chronically infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). Cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma are major complications of chronic HBV infection and are responsible of about 500,000 deaths each year. Although some predictive factors of the outcome of chronic HBV infection were reported, it remains needed to more precisely determine the factors which are associated with the outcome in non-selected patients. Indeed, these factors should help to identify patients who are likely to have a better or worse evolution of their chronic HBV infection over time and thus, to adapt their clinical management and monitoring.Therefore, our purpose is to constitute a "real-life" cohort of non-selected patients to create a database of epidemiological, clinical, biological, virological and therapeutic parameters, in order to determine factors associated with the outcome of chronic HBV infection.
This multicenter, prospective, observational study will evaluate the use in clinical practice and the efficacy and safety of Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) in Chinese participants with HBeAg negative chronic hepatitis B. Participants receiving Pegasys according to the local label will be followed for the duration of their treatment and for one year after cessation of treatment.
Tenofovir (TDF) has been demonstrated to have potency antiviral against the hepatitis B virus (HBV) in various multiple-centre trials, with no cases of resistance encountered. However, its efficacy and resistance profile in the Asian population, which constitute the majority of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients, is unknown. Compared to other nucleoside analogues, TDF has been associated with relatively high rates of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance. It would be interested to see if this could be reproduced. The investigators plan to report the serologic and virologic results of our 140 nucleoside analogue-experienced patients who were commenced on TDF.
This study will compare monotherapy with tenofovir to sequential therapy with pegylated interferon alpha-2b (pegIFN-2b) followed by tenofovir, and to combination therapy with pegIFN-2b + tenofovir, in participants with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis B and elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT). All enrolled participants will be be administered tenofovir alone for 8 weeks and then will be randomly assigned to 1 of the 3 treatment arms.
To compare the effectiveness, in a real world practice setting in tier 2 cities of China, of Entecavir (ETV) monotherapy and Lamivudine (LAM) based therapies (including LAM monotherapy, de novo LAM + Adefovir [ADV] combination, and early add-on of ADV) among chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients who are naive to NUC at enrollment to this study
Entecavir, a potent antiviral agent, has been widely used for treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis B patients. However, about 20% of patients showed partial virologic response after 2 year of entecavir therapy (33% in HBeAg positive, 10% in HBeAg negative patients). Tenofovir is a nucleotide analogue with more potent antiviral activity. In addition, there is no cross resistance between the two drugs. Therefore it is assumed that tenofovir would be effective in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B patients who shows partial virologic response (detectable HBV DNA by real time PCR after 12 months of treatment) despite treatment with entecavir. In this study, we will compare the efficacy of switching to tenofovir with continuing entecavir in patients who shows partial virologic response to entecavir.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of renal impairment on pharmacokinetics (PK) of BMS-914143.
