Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) vaccine therapy in treating patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection that persists or progresses over a long period of time. Vaccines made from DNA may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells that express HCV infection.
This study is a randomized control prospective study. The aim of this study is to establish an all-round and convenient follow-up strategy of Chronic Hepatitis B for early detection and diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), by investigating whether different surveillance time intervals and surveillance methods are beneficial for chronic hepatitis B and cirrhotic patients with different risk of HCC.
A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel Design, Phase III Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of CKD-390 tablet
NPC1L1 is a key transporter in the enterohepatic cycle of cholesterol. Initial in vitro and in vivo data show that blocking this receptor with ezetimibe results in delaying infection in these models. The investigators hypothesize that HCV has an enterohepatic cycle, being secreted in bile and reabsorbed either in the canalicular membrane or in the intestine by association with NPC1L1, following a path similar to the cycle of cholesterol in humans. To prove this hypothesis the investigators propose to assess the effect of ezetimibe treatment in HCV infected individuals undergoing liver transplantation to avoid or delay HCV infection. For this purpose, the investigators propose to administrate ezetimibe 10 mg/d for 12 weeks to 12 patients with chronic hepatitis C infection listed for a liver transplantation.
As HBsAg clearance is uncommon in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients on nucleoside analogues (NAs) therapy. The purpose of this study is to optimize HBsAg clearance in CHB Patients with sequential treatment of pegylated interferon alpha and NAs.
We perform this study to identity efficacy and safety of Daclatasvir and Asunaprevir in real practice.
Patients with chronic hepatitis C that are under opiate substitution therapy are likely to have psychiatric comorbidities such as depression; hence an Interferon based therapy is contraindicated. Additionally many of these patients have a borderline compliance, which makes it impossible to treat them at specialized hepatological centers. An ideal opportunity to treat this patients is treatment with DAAs (Direct Acting Antiviral) which can be administered daily together with the opiate substitution therapy at a low threshold facility.
Evaluation of the rate of sustained virological response among HBeAg-negativechronic hepatitis B patients who discontinue long-term NA therapy. During this study participants will cease their prescribed medications, this will occur with immediate effect once enrolled into the study. The duration of cessation will be indefinite, unless clinically indicated for NA therapy re-start. Participants will be monitored as per protocol following cessation, monitoring will be by clinic visit and through blood test to monitor virological response. Clinical visits will be at the intervals of week 2, week, 4, week 8, week 12, week 18, following this they will be every 3 months out to 2 years when the participant will have completed the trial. Once the participant has completed the trial they will not commence again, the aim is for an indefinite cessation of NA therapy.
The study is designed to provide long term clinical and virologic follow up in subjects infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) who received interferon-based therapy or direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs)-based therapy. This long term follow up study is observational and no treatment is provided for HCV infection.
The purpose of this study is to investigate antiviral efficacy of the combination treatment with Poly IC and Entecavir and compare with the efficacy of Entecavir mono-therapy for chronic hepatitis B.
