Filter by:In this study we will prospectively stop NA in both Caucasian and non-Caucasian patients matched for gender and age, to validate the observed host and viral parameters for future roll-out of this treatment strategy.
This is an open-label study to determine the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of ChAdOx1-HBV and MVA-HBV vaccines, with or without nivolumab, in patients with chronic HBV who are virally suppressed with oral anti-viral therapies.
The aims of this study are to evaluate liver fibrosis with two-dimensional (2D) shear wave elastography (SWE) technique in inactive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers and patients with active chronic hepatitis B (CHB), with the help of a propagation map, compare this method with histopathological results in patients with CHB and determine the suitability of 2D-SWE for use instead of liver biopsy by evaluating fibrosis before and after treatment.
This is an open label, randomized, parallel-group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination treatment BRII-835 (VIR-2218) and BRII-179 (VBI-2601) in adult participants with chronic HBV infection
In the past ten years, the extracorporeal liver support system has been widely used in clinical practice as a first-line treatment of liver failure. Plasma exchange (PE) can remove toxic substances in ACLF patients, reduce liver damage, and replenish coagulation factors, albumin and immunoglobulins, thereby improving the liver's microenvironment and accelerating liver regeneration and functional recovery. The ACLF study showed that PE can improve the symptoms of patients and improve the short-term prognosis of patients, but there are still studies showing that PE does not significantly improve the short-term prognosis of patients. Therefore, the therapeutic effect of PE on ACLF is still controversial. We consider that some people may benefit from plasma exchange, and new indicators are needed to guide disease stratification treatment. Our multi-center prospective data show that plasma exchange has a tendency to improve survival in ACLF-2. After stratifying with ADP inhibition rate in ACLF-2, patients with ADP inhibition rate greater than 30% will be treated 28 days after PE treatment. The prognosis is improving. Therefore, we consider that PE is expected to reduce the mortality of patients with ACLF 2 with an ADP suppression rate greater than 30%, but prospective large-sample clinical studies are still needed.
In the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB), viral suppression is closely related to disease progression, and the lower the viral load, the lower the risk of progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In addition, a considerable number of patients in China are still using non-first-line antiviral therapy, such as adefovir dipivoxil, lamivudine, and telbivudine (ADV/LAM/LdT). About 25% of patients who received entecavir(ETV) treatment for more than half a year and confirmed that their DNA had turned negative by non-high-precision detection methods still had low viremia (LLV,DNA>20 IU/ml,IU=international unit), and LLV patients were twice as likely to develop HCC as patients with complete viral response.Patients who have received ETV or second-line NA(LAM/ADV/LdT) treatment for more than half a year to 1 year and confirmed HBV-DNA>10IU/ml by high-precision detection method are recommended to adjust the treatment plan in order to reduce the DNA load below 10IU/ml as soon as possible. It is up to the doctor, in consultation with the patient, to decide whether or not to make the adjustment.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), listed among lung and breast cancers as the top-ten cancer in 2016 Taiwan, is the second most prevalent cancer, just one place below colon cancer. Due to mass hepatitis B vaccination and the screening and therapeutic plan against hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV, respectively), the incidence of liver cancer drops significantly, however, still around twenty out of per hundred thousand population die from liver cancer each year. For patients suffering HBV and HCV, the prevention of HCC is a crucial health issue.
This is a Phase II study in patients with advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) as a result of hepatitis B and/or C infection. Participants will be dosed with either MTL-CEBPA (an experimental treatment) and sorafenib or sorafenib alone. The MTL-CEBPA is administered once every 3 weeks via intravenous infusion. Sorafenib is taken orally from Day 8 for the combination group or Day 1 for the sorafenib alone group at a dose of 400 mg twice a day. Participants will receive 3 week cycles of treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or death occurs. The combination of MTL-CEBA and sorafenib combination of treatment was tested in a previous Phase I study (OUTREACH) which showed anti-tumour activity along with a good safety and toxicity profile.
Hepatitis B virus is an infection that can be easily transmitted from women to newborns at the time of delivery. Our objective is to identify novel options that are effective and safe in preventing perinatal transmission of hepatitis B in Africa. The REVERT-B study (Reducing Vertical Transmission of Hepatitis B in Africa) is a clinical trial designed to test a new strategy of using antiviral medication in high-risk pregnant women and newborns to reduce the risk of hepatitis B transmission. The study will measure efficacy, safety, tolerability and adherence to medication.
Development of preclinical translational models for chronic liver tumors and diseases study, such as spheroids cultured in autologous medium and murine xenograft models to test the efficacy of new therapeutic strategies.
