Filter by:International and national guideline for chronic hepatitis B (HBV) infection treatment recommend initiated antiviral in high HBV viral loads patients with significant liver inflammation and significant liver fibrosis. In Thailand, HBV viral loads and liver elastography are limited available in seconds to tertiary care hospital. Recently, many of simplified scoring system (TREAT-B score, WHO (World Health Organization)-simplified score and REACH-B score) were developed for assessment of antiviral initiation. This study aim to evaluate the performance of simplified score for chronic HBV treatment compare to Thailand and international standard guideline.
In the current literature, infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is described as one of the main risk factors for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). According to the current study situation, the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is considered as an important marker, since low levels and sero-clearance of HBsAg are both correlated with a lower risk of HCC development / recurrence.Currently there is no treatment option available that efficiently targets HBsAg. Besides neutralizing infectious HBV virions, Hepatitis B immunoglobulins (HBIG) can directly bind and neutralize extracellular HBsAg/SVPs, and even intracellular HBsAg targeting is reported. In addition, HBIGs can initiate effector-cell attack (via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, ADCC) towards infected hepatocytes. The potential benefit of HBIGs in the HCC context is further underlined by recent evidence for the ability of HBIGs to reduce the viability, proliferation, and self-renewal of tumor-initiating cells (TICs) - isolated from HBV-HCC patients - accompanied by downregulation of stemness markers, e.g., OCT-4.According to the current study situation, the use of HBIGs significantly reduces the risk of HBV reinfection after transplantation and improves the results of liver transplantation in patients with chronic HBV infection. The potential benefit of treating HBV-HCC patients on the LTx (liver transplantation) waiting list with hepatitis B immunoglobulin is the possible stop or inhibition of tumor progression while waiting for an LTx. So far there is no clinical evidence of this. Mechanistically, hepatitis B immunoglobulin could occur through neutralization of circulating HBsAg, which is an important driver of an immunosuppressive environment in HBV patients, and possibly through direct effects against HBV HCC tumor cells (through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, ADCC). Therefore, the idea behind preoperative HBIG administration before liver transplantation is to reduce the rate of patients in whom a transplantation would no longer have been possible due to tumor progression. Thus, due to tumor progression in HBV-positive HCC-patients there is a monthly drop-out from the waiting list of about 4%. The basic idea behind the treatment of HBV-HCC patients before tumor resection with hepatitis B immunoglobulin is to potentially stop or positively influence tumor progression through the effects mentioned above, in the time between diagnosis and resection. Zhou et al. (2015) have shown a connection between HBsAg levels and HCC relapses after resection, although the exact role of HBsAg is still unclear. In no case will the treatment postpone the time of tumor resection, as only patients are considered who, for clinical reasons, can expect a certain time until resection. The present proof of concept study aims to quantify HBsAg reduction due to preoperative administration of HBIGs in HBV-positive HCC-patients and serve as a template for future multicentre clinical trials.
This is a Phase4, multicenter, open-label, randomized study to demonstrate that the Tenolid Tab switching group is non-inferior to the virologic suppression effect compared to the Viread Tab continuous administration group and evaluate the safety of Tenolid Tab. This clinical trial was conducted on patients who were taking Viread Tab as monotherapy for more than 48 weeks for chronic hepatitis B. At the time of screening(Visit 1), information on factors related to medical history and prognosis including Viread Tab administration were collected retrospectively from the subjects who voluntarily signed the informed consent form (ICF). Only subjects who are determined to be suitable for the study eligibility(inclusion/exclusion) criteria as a result of the screening evaluations are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the two groups at the baseline. Subjects will receive investigational product start on the next day of randomization for 48 weeks. Subjects will visit to the study site on 12, 24, 36, 24 weeks after starting dosing investigational product and evaluated for effectiveness of virologic suppression and safety.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the education given to patients with CHB who use oral antiviral drugs on oral antiviral drug use on drug compliance and quality of life.

This study will assess the safety, efficacy and immune response following the sequential treatment of GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) ASO compound (GSK3228836) and CHB-TI (GSK3528869A) in participants 18 to 65 years stable on NA treatment for CHB. The aim is to quantify the efficacy of sequential therapy as well as to determine an added value of sequential therapy over GSK3228836 therapy in CHB patients treated with NAs. In addition, the study will assess the effect of different treatment durations of GSK3228836 (12 or 24 weeks) prior to initiating GSK3528869A treatment.
Huahui Health is developing a treatment for Hepatitis B virus. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of HH-006, a hepatitis virus neutralizing monoclonal antibody in healthy volunteers, and to determine its pharmacokinetic profile and immunogenicity.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy of the study intervention, based on hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels at follow-up (FU) Week 24.
This is a drug-drug interaction study conducted in healthy volunteers to evaluate the effect of HRS5091 on CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, P-gp, BCRP and OATP1B1, using midazolam, s-warfarin, omeprazole, digoxin and rosuvastatin as probe drugs.
Antibodies are the primary mediators of the protection against infection provided by vaccination. Antibodies become most powerful after the B cells that produce them undergo an evolutionary process called affinity maturation, in which antibodies increase their ability to bind to their targets, and thus neutralize pathogens. Affinity maturation occurs in structures within secondary lymphoid organs (for example lymph nodes or tonsils) known as germinal centers. Germinal centers are well known to be triggered by the first dose of vaccines, generating affinity matured plasma cells (B cells that secrete antibody into serum) and memory B cells, which can be converted into plasma cells by booster doses of vaccine. However, it is not fully understood the extent to which memory B cells can return to germinal centers again upon vaccine boosting. Such return would be very important to allow B cells, for example, to adapt to emerging variants of viruses such as influenza or SARS-CoV-2. This study will involve acquiring samples of B cells from germinal centers that form in response to vaccination with the highly effective hepatitis B vaccine. These cells will be analyzed to determine what fraction of them are memory B cells that returned to germinal centers upon boosting, information that is key to knowledge of how vaccine boosters work. Understanding the "rules" that govern how and when memory B cells choose to return to germinal centers in an effective vaccine such hepatitis B could help efforts to develop effective vaccination against more challenging, rapidly mutating viruses, such as influenza, HIV, and hepatitis C.
