Filter by:The "Chinese PAC" study (CLDT600ACN03) will evaluate the efficacy and safety of open label telbivudine in 2,200 compensated Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) adults. The primary objective of the study is the proportion of patients achieving undetectable HBV DNA at week 52.
Study purpose: To investigate whether ALT rebound following corticosteroid priming enhances response to telbivudine therapy. Efficacy assessments: The primary endpoint will be the 1-year HBe-Ag seroconversion rate with or without prednisolone priming. Data analysis: A summary table will be presented as frequency tables for categorical variables as number, and percentage, whereas descriptive tables for continuous variables as number, mean ± SD and median (minimum, maximum). All statistical assessments will be two-sided and evaluated at significance level of 0.05. Continuous variables will be analyzed using t-test, or ANOVA, and categorical variables will be analyzed using chi-square or Fisher's exact test. A non-parametric method, Wilcoxon rank-sum or sign-rank tests will be conducted for continuous, and categorical variables if data is far from normal distribution.
Open-label, prospective, two part study evaluating IFN-γ 1b at a dose of 200μg by subcutaneous injection every day either alone or in combination with Adefovir dipivoxil or Adefovir dipivoxil alone at a dose of 10mg QD in patients with chronic Hepatitis B.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antiviral activity and safety of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in Asian-American adults (self-reported Asian descent, living in the United States) with chronic hepatitis B infection. All participants will receive active treatment with TDF for 48 weeks.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in adolescents (aged 12-17 years) with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The optimal treatment for adolescents with chronic HBV infection is currently unknown. Treatment with interferon alfa, lamivudine, and adefovir dipivoxil in pediatric populations has been shown to be less than optimal. Further, the safety and efficacy of entecavir and telbivudine have not been established in patients < 16 years of age. A study evaluating TDF in adolescents (ages 12-17) was needed to assess the safety and efficacy of this agent in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in this patient population. In addition, the study will help to further elucidate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and resistance profiles of TDF. Through their participation, study participants will help generate critical new information to help guide the most optimal treatment of chronic HBV infection in adolescents. This is a randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of TDF versus placebo in adolescents with chronic HBV infection. One hundred TDF treatment-naive participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to TDF or placebo. After 72 weeks of blinded treatment, all participants were to switch to open-label TDF for an additional 2.5 years of treatment, provided that no safety concerns are identified by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee monitoring the study.
This study aim to find out the risk of exacerbation of chronic hepatitis B after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or hepatectomy for HCC, and it's effect to treatment outcome.
Switching to Entecavir will result in superior antiviral efficacy as compared to continuing with Adefovir in patients with a suboptimal response to Adefovir
Patients with chronic hepatitis B constantly produce the virus in the body. The disease of chronic hepatitis B is the body responding to the virus. Use of steroids can adjust this response. After taking steroids, viral production usually increases and liver function tests increase. After stopping steroids, viral production usually decreases. Many studies in the past have studied taking a low dose steroid before treating hepatitis B. Those studies have shown that low dose steroids help your body to clear the virus. The goal of this study is to improve the liver function by slowing viral growth.
This study examines the effect of telbivudine compared to lamivudine on the early viral kinetics in patients with chronic hepatitis B. The virus Kinetics is measured by the viral load (HBV-DNA) reduction in the serum during the first 12 weeks of therapy.
The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of peginterferon alfa-2b 1.5 mcg/kg/week administered for 52 weeks (wk) in previously untreated participants coinfected with hepatitis virus B and D. After 52-week treatment and 52-week follow-up, the virologic, biochemical, and histological response will be evaluated.
