Filter by:Some patients with low-level viremia (LLV) are also likely to develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or other liver diseases. The relationship between HBV RNA levels and fibrosis in patients with HBV DNA negative or LLV is still lacking evidence. The purpose of this study is to observe the differences in HBV RNA levels and their association with efficacy in HBV DNA negative or LLV patients. Investigators conduct the prospective, single-center, non-randomized, observational clinical study. A total of 100 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients who receive antiviral therapy with nucleoside (acid) analogues for 1-3 years will be enrolled. The enrolled patients will be followed up five times to collect clinical data and record adverse events (at baseline, week 12, week 24, week 36 and week 48, respectively).
The investigator aimed to prospectively study the effect of the hepatic fibrosis on quantifying hepatic steatosis using ultrasound attenuation imaging (ATI value) in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
CB06-036 is an investigational drug developed by Shanghai Zhimeng Biopharma Inc. for the treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major public health threat in China. At present, a functional cure, also known as clinical cure or sustained Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss, is recommended as the ideal endpoint of HBV treatment. However, HBsAg loss can be achieved in less than 10% of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients treated with current available antiviral drug interferon (IFNα) or nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) monotherapy. With the support of the national major special funding for infectious diseases from "11th Five-Year Plan" to "13th Five-Year Plan", we have implemented a pioneer clinical study of sequential combination of IFNα therapy on NAs to treat NAs-treated CHB patients (ie. New Switch Study). This is the world's first clinical trial aiming to functional cure, which increased the rate of HBsAg loss to 15% in the overall population in our study, and to 30-50% among those with lower baseline HBsAg levels. How to further improve the HBsAg loss rate is an urgent issue for us. The key point of achieving functional cure is to reverse the HBV-specific T cell exhaustion and establish the long-term immune control against HBV infection. (Programmed death-1) PD-1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) axis blockade has been demonstrated to reinvigorate exhausted CD8+ T cells, and would be a potential strategy to treat chronic HBV infection. In this study, a large multicenter prospective study will be performed to explore the safety and efficacy of a novel combination strategy involving immune checkpoint inhibitor (anti-PD-1 antibody) and IFNα in CHB patients, observe the HBsAg loss rate in NA-treated CHB patients receiving this combination strategy, evaluate the potential of breaking immune tolerance by this strategy, and further assess its efficacy to further improve the clinical cure rate on the basis of New Switch Study. Based on New Switch Study, this study further attempts to reverse T cell exhaustion in CHB patients, explore a novel platform of combination therapy development for clinical cure, and ultimately increase the HBsAg loss rate to higher than 50% in overall patients. The implementation of the project is expected to reduce the burden of HBV infection in China and contribute to the goal of global elimination of hepatitis B and C by 2030 (WHO 2030).

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) affects an estimated 292 million people, and causes approximately 800,000 people deaths per year from liver-related complications including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, remaining a major global public health issue.Meanwhile, the rising incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is another grim health burden. Combined MetS affects the metabolic function of hepatocytes, which are responsible for providing HBV replication. Antiviral therapy is an effective measure to reduce the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer in patients with chronic CHB. Combined MetS may affect the antiviral efficacy in patients with CHB.This prospective observational study examines the differences in HBeAg serological conversion rates between HBeAg-positive CHB patients with and without MS who received first-line oral antivirals for 144 weeks.
The study is aimed to explore the safety and efficacy of the pulse usage , comparing to continuous usage, of Peginterferon alfa-2b Injection (PEG IFN α-2b) Combined With tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) in treatment of naive chronic hepatitis B patients with HBeAg negative.
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.
China has the world's largest burden of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and will be a major contributor towards the global elimination of hepatitis B disease by 2030. One of the main issues in the management of patients with chronic HBV infection (CHB) is to maximize the individuals who need the treatment engaged and retained in care. However, our investigation revealed that 21.1% patients were treatment eligible but not treated based on Chinese 2019 CHB treatment guidelines, while only 213 (13.9%) patients were indicated-but-not-treated according to AASLD 2018 Hepatitis B guidance in a real-life cohort study. To maximize the individuals who need the treatment engaged and retained in care, integrated intervention strategies to address these treatment barriers are urgently needed. Therefore, we aim to propose a study to narrow the gap between in accordance with guidelines and consent to treat CHB population in EAST of China.
The purpose of this study is to provide theoretical and real world evidence for the optimization of antiviral treatment by IFN combined with Nucleosides analog in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B patients aged 1-16 years，so that the functional cure could be achieved in the greatest extent in pediatric patients
