Filter by:CF patients are at risk for hepatic disease. Vaccination is recommended to all CF patients according to European consensus. The aim of the study is to vaccinate as many patients as possible and to follow up whether immunization has been complete.
Patients with chronic HBV infection will receive ARC-520 in combination with entecavir or tenofovir and be evaluated for safety and efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an investigational drug DCB-BO1202 is effective and safe in the treatment of liver fibrosis in HBV patients having experienced intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of two rapid diagnostic tests in plasma, venipuncture whole blood, and fingerstick whole blood. The clinical performance of Multiplo HBc/HIV/HCV will be determined by comparing the results with patient infected status for HIV-1/2 (human immunodeficiency viruses 1 and 2), HBV (hepatitis B virus) and HCV (hepatitis C virus). The clinical performance of Reveal HBsAg will be determined by comparing the results with patient infected status for HBV. Subject participation in the study will consist of a single one-hour visit, at which time blood samples will be drawn for testing with the investigational devices and with approved comparator assays. The test results, which are the outcome of the study, will be obtained only once, at the time of this visit.
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term persistence of immunity to hepatitis A and B in adults who were vaccinated 16-20 years earlier with the combined hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccine, Twinrix.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the combination of abatacept along with entecavir (the study drugs) is safe and effective in treating symptoms related to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Abatacept, given in an intravenous (IV - injected into a vein) as well as subcutaneous form, is approved by the FDA for the treatment of RA. In this research, abatacept will be given by injection. A subcutaneous injection is an injection given under the skin. Entecavir, to be taken by mouth, is approved by the FDA for the treatment of hepatitis B. The study is divided into the following time periods: Screening Phase: Up to 4 weeks Randomized Double-blind Phase: 24 weeks Open-label Extension Phase: 24 weeksFollow-up Phase: a phone call after Week 48 Each phase contains one or more study visits.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and chronic viral hepatitis due to hepatitis B virus (HBV) are both major public health problems. Treatment of chronic HBV infection in CKD patients, however, is not well defined because of insufficient data from clinical trials. Telbivudine is a new antiviral that provides effective and sustained viral suppression in patients with compensated chronic hepatitis B infection. Unlike other nucleotide and nucleoside analogues, renal toxicity is uncommon in telbivudine, and dosage adjustment is not required in patients with mild renal impairment. We propose to conduct an open-label single-arm study to evaluate the effect of telbivudine on renal function and proteinuria in patients with chronic HBV infection and mild-to-moderate renal impairment. Twenty patients with chronic HBV infection and chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate 15 to 60 ml/min) will be recruited. They will be treated with telbivudine, with the dosage adjusted according to thei renal function, for 5 years. Serum HBV DNA, proteinuria, renal function, and urinary inflammatory markers will be monitored.
This study aims to demonstrate that patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and B (CHB) experiencing regression of liver cirrhosis after effective antiviral therapy have decreased risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Primary aim is to determine the incidence of HCC in patients with cirrhosis secondary to CHC and CHB, after treatment is provided, and to identify the magnitude of the decreased risk for HCC in patients experiencing regression of fibrosis. As a secondary aim, environmental risk factors for HCC development will be sought, in order to determine a subset of patients in whom it will be safe to stop surveillance.
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.
Primary Aims: 1. Evaluate HBV (Hepatitis B Virus) infection prevalence among Druze in the Galilee. 2. Educate the population in order to reduce transmission 3. Increase awareness among primary care providers Secondary Aims: 1. Identify chronic HBV infected patients who need to be followed and treated, 2. Identify HBV infected women in a childbearing age 3. Identify non immunized individuals and recommend vaccination 4. Identify previously vaccinated individuals who are not immunized 5. Identify previously vaccinated individuals who became infected Study Design: Study population is targeted to native Israeli Druze. We aim for evaluating up to 20,000 people from Druze communities in the Galilee area This work will be divided into three sections: 1. Increasing awareness: lectures and local events will be taken place in the communities. Written information will be given and primary care-providers mainly family doctors, nurses and obstetric surgeons will be involved. 2. All participants, upon signing a consent will: - Fill up a questioner - Checked for weight, height and waist circumflex - Have a blood sample taken 3. Results and recommendations will be forwarded to all participants
