Filter by:HIV infected patients exposed to Hepatitis B virus are more susceptible to develop a chronic and severe liver disease, with a major risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer. However, immune response to standard Hepatitis B vaccination is decreased in HIV-infected patients, compared to non HIV-infected individuals, and, in case of response, its durability has to be carefully followed up. This study compares the efficacy of two strategies of revaccination in HIV-infected patients who didn't respond to previous hepatitis B vaccination. Failure is defined by two conditions: non response to the primary immunization (2 to 4 single-dose injections received before the screening visit) and failure to a single 20 µg boost before being included in the study.
This study will evaluate HIV-HBV infected individuals who have evidence of HBV replication in the blood after taking 48 weeks of more of the HBV active medication tenofovir in combination with emtricitabine or lamivudine. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive 24 weeks of entecavir (ETV) 1 mg versus continued standard of care antiretroviral therapy. After 24 weeks, individuals on entecavir or who remain HBV viremic on standard of care will receive ETV o for an additional 24 weeks. The hypothesis is that intensification with entecavir will reduce HBV DNA at 24 weeks more than continued antiretroviral therapy without entecavir.
This 3 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of combination therapy with PEGASYS + adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) versus PEGASYS monotherapy, in HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients.Patients will be randomized to receive 1)PEGASYS 180 micrograms sc weekly + ADV 10mg po daily for 48 weeks, followed by ADV 10mg po monotherapy for an additional 48 weeks, and a further 48 week treatment-free follow-up, 2)PEGASYS 180 micrograms sc weekly + ADV 10mg po daily for 48 weeks, followed by a 96 week treatment-free follow-up, or 3)PEGASYS 180 micrograms sc monotherapy weekly for 48 weeks, followed by a 96 week treatment-free follow-up. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
In this study, subjects who received primary neonatal vaccination with hepatitis B vaccine at 0, 1, 2, 12 months, 20 years ago in the 103860/272 primary study will be evaluated for immunological memory to hepatitis B vaccine via assessment of the response to a vaccine challenge dose.
This is a follow-up of Study A3L11 (NCT00404651). Immunogenicity - To describe the antibody persistence following a primary series vaccination of either DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T or Infanrix hexa™. - To describe the immunogenicity of a booster dose of DTaP-IPV-HepB-PRP~T in a subset of subjects. Safety - To describe the safety profile after a booster dose of DTacP-IPV-HepB-PRP~T.
This study will evaluate the use of telbivudine for patients with HBeAg-positive CHB with an option to intensify treatment at Week 24 by adding tenofovir for patients who do not achieve HBV DNA non-detectability.
This study will explore efficacy and safety of Telbivudine in the fifth year of treatment.
This study has the aim of describing viral mutation profiles in patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B receiving antihepadnaviral therapy.
Open-label study of the pharmacokinetics of adefovir dipivoxil in children and adolescents infected with chronic hepatitis B.
Open-label pharmacokinetic drug interaction study.
