Filter by:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is an important global health problem, and the WHO adopted a strategy to eliminate HBV infection as a public health threat by the year 2030. In order to eliminate, it is critical to prevent the mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of hepatitis B. Since 2009, the WHO recommends to administer hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth to prevent MTCT.2 However, in Africa, the majority of countries provide hepatitis B vaccine as a combined vaccine (pentavalent or hexavalent) at the age of 6-10-14 weeks or 8-12-16 weeks after the birth, and only 10 sub-Saharan African countries integrated birth dose vaccine into their national immunization program. This is because, the GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, does not support monovalent hepatitis B vaccine, and also about half of babies in Africa are born at home without the immediate access to vaccination. Moreover, the evidence base to support this WHO's recommendation to start immunizing immediately at birth, rather than later at 6-8 weeks of life, is not strong. Through a multidisciplinary approach comprising epidemiological, anthropological and economic components, the primary objective of the study is to measure the impact of the introduction of birth dose hepatitis B vaccine into the infant immunization program in Burkina Faso. Expected results will be to develop strong evidence base (effectiveness & cost-effectiveness) to recommend the integration of birth dose hepatitis B vaccine into the current vaccination schedule (8-12-16 weeks as a combined vaccine), to facilitate the Burkinabé Government to include the birth dose hepatitis B vaccine in their national vaccination program, to inform other African countries which have not yet integrated the birth dose hepatitis B vaccine in their national program and to imply whether additional strategy (e.g., maternal screening and antiviral therapy during pregnancy) might be necessary in order to eliminate the risk of mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B.
This study was a retrospective clinical observational cohort study. All patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) whose HBsAg decreased by less than 10% were treated continuously with interferon in the Department of Hepatology, Beijing Ditan Hospital, Beijing Medical University, Beijing Capital University, 2008.10-2017.4. The total interferon treatment time of the enrolled subjects was 48 weeks. The subjects were randomly divided into the following two observation cohorts: 1) patients with chronic hepatitis B treated with continuous interferon for 48 weeks; 2) intermittent interferon For 48 weeks of treatment for patients with chronic hepatitis B, the interferon treatment interval was 3 months. HBV DNA content, HBsAg/anti-HBs, HBeAg/anti-HBe and biochemical markers, serum AFP and liver imaging (liver ultrasound) were collected before treatment (baseline) and during treatment. The primary outcome measure was the rate at which HBsAg disappeared at 48 weeks of treatment. The secondary evaluation index was the 48-week HBeAg seroconversion rate. To investigate the efficacy, influencing factors and safety of interferon intermittent treatment of chronic hepatitis B.
Part 1 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. It will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple orally administered doses of EDP-514 in healthy adult subjects. Part 2 is randomized, double -blind, placebo-controlled study including subjects with Hepatitis B Virus. It will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity of 28 Days of orally administered doses of EDP-514 in nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NUC)-Suppressed Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection
The purpose of this study is to establish the dose-response relationship for antiviral activity of 3 dose levels of JNJ-73763989+nucleos(t)ide analog (NA) and to evaluate the efficacy of combination regimens of JNJ-73763989+NA (with and without JNJ-56136379) and of JNJ-56136379+NA.
The effective control of nucleos(t)ide analogues for patients infected with hepatitis B has significantly curbed the horizontal transmission of hepatitis B. However, the vertical transmission remains a serious threat to public health for directly increasing the burden of hepatitis B worldwide with the transmission rate up to 80 to 90% among high HBV DNA level if untreated. Currently, the effective prevention of mother-to-child transmission is credited to the implement of HBV vaccination and hepatitis B virus immunoglobin. To leave nobody behind, a growing body of evidence has been yielded to support the use of nucleos(t)ide analogues in the mothers during the late pregnancy. However, the clinical practice can be more complex. Therefore, investigators aim to assess the effectiveness of maternal antiviral therapy and different infants immunoprophylaxis strategy in the prevention of chronic hepatitis infection among children whose mothers were infected with chronic hepatitis B infection in the real world setting.
HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) deteriorates rapidly with a high short-term mortality. Early identification and accurate prognostic prediction was critical to improve survival rate. This study was sought to determine the liver volumetry as predictor for short-term mortality in HBV-ACLF and develop a simpler prognostic model based on liver morphology. Liver volumetry were determined from CT at admission. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify the optimum prognostic indicators and develop prognostic model. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic curves were analyzed to evaluate the predictive ability of the model.
The objective of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b Conjugate Vaccine Adsorbed in Vietnamese infants aged 6-12 weeks. This is an open label, single group, bridging study.
Protectivity and Safety Following Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccine with different source of Hepatitis B bulk compared to Hepatitis B (Bio Farma) vaccine in Indonesian Population
As an alternative biomarker of intrahepatic covalently closed circular DNA(cccDNA) transcriptional activity, hepatitis B virus(HBV)RNA may evolve during long-lasting virus-host interactionsduring chronic hepatitis B viral infection.The distribution pattern of serum HBV RNA levels in the natural course of chronic HBV infection remains unclear. Furthermore,serum HBV RNA was associated with response to NAs. So it may be another clinical surrogate marker for intrahepatic cccDNA level after long-term NAs treatment and be used to monitor NAs therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate thelevels of HBV RNA during the natural courseof CHB and the role in distinguishingthe natural phases of HBV infection and to investigate whether serum HBV RNA level at the end of long-term NAs treatment had a similar or better predict effect on off-therapy relapse than serum HBsAg titer.
This randomized controlled trial is designed to evaluate safety, effectiveness and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationships associated with three different Nitazoxanide (NTZ) treatment regimens added to Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF), Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF) or Entecavir (ETV) in treating Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB).
