Filter by:This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, non-randomized controlled real-world study to explore the efficacy and safety and to accumulate more evidence-based medical data of an antiviral treatment programme for chronic viral hepatitis B with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. A total of 1500 patients with chronic hepatitis B complicated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease are divided into test group (1000 patients receiving PEG-IFNα-based antiviral therapy (combined NAs or Peg-IFNα monotherapy) and control group（500 patients receiving NAs monotherapy） according to their treatment intention. Laboratory and medical data from specified follow-up points are collected, and adverse events and drug combinations are recorded detailly. The primary efficacy indicator is HBsAg clearance at 48 weeks of treatment, and the secondary indicators included: (1) HBsAg clearance at 96 weeks of treatment, (2) Cumulative HBsAg clearance at week 24、120、144、168、192、216 and 240; (3) The improvement of liver function level(ALT, AST, TBIL, etc.), blood lipid (TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, etc.), fasting blood glucose, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), controlled attenuation parameter, body mass index , liver stiffness measurement, liver histological fibrosis, FIB-4 index from baseline; (4)Incidence of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma during follow-up. The security assessment includes adverse events, vital signs, and imaging.
This is a five-year, double blinded, randomised trial of dapagliflozin versus placebo in patients with chronic hepatitis B and DM or IFG complicated with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD). 412 subjects will be recruited. Subject will be randomly assigned to receive dapagliflozin 10mg daily or dapagliflozin placebo one tablet daily for up to 5 years. After randomization, subject will be followed up at month 3, month 6 and then 6-monthly until 60 months (follow up ± 4 weeks from scheduled clinic visit is allowed). At each visit, drug compliance, physical examination, observed or reported adverse events will be assessed. 10ml of blood will be taken at each visit and transient elastography to assess fibrosis regression will be performed at 60th month or at withdrawal visit. You are discouraged to use (pegylated)-interferon, any other NA including lamivudine, adefovir, and telbivudine, another SGLT2i Empagliflozin (Jardiance), Dapagliflozin + Metformin XR (Xigduo).
Previous clinical practice and exploratory studies suggest that some patients who have not achieved functional cure in the first round of interferon therapy can achieve HBsAg clearance by interferon retreatment (intermittent therapy), which can reduce the occurrence of complications such as liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, and its clinical benefit is expected to be higher than that of NAs monotherapy. This study is aimed to conduct a large-scale, multicenter, prospective study to confirm the benefit of peginterferon-based therapies in these populations. It expected to enroll about 2000 patients with chronic hepatitis B who have received prior interferon therapy and achieved a good response but without function cure, patients receive either interferon-based therapy or NAs monotherapy, according to their wishes and doctors' professional recommendations, with a ratio of 2:1 between the two groups, and all patients treated for 48 weeks. The HBsAg clearance rate before and after treatment, safety, etc. will be analyzed.
Rationale: Currently, there is no curative therapy available for patients that are chronically infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Especially the presence of a viral reservoir of stable episomal, covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) in the nucleus of infected hepatocytes poses a great challenge for the development of curative therapies. HBV cccDNA acts as the template for production of viral proteins and HBV genomes. In a preclinical study, terbinafine (an antifungal agent) was identified as a potent and specific suppressor of HBx-mediated cccDNA transcription. HBx is an accessory viral protein of HBV which has been proven to be essential for HBV replication and enhances replication at the transcriptional level in vivo. The suppression of cccDNA transcription results in a strong reduction of the production of viral genomes (RNA and DNA) as well as viral proteins. This will allow recovery of the immune system, increase viral clearance and prevent replenishment of the cccDNA pool in the hepatocyte, all contributing to cure chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Objective: to provide proof of concept for the inhibition of HBx mediated cccDNA transcription by terbinafine, both as monotherapy and add-on therapy next to tenofovir. Secondary outcomes will be the safety and tolerability of terbinafine in this specific group. Study design: This pilot study is a stratified, single center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, dose-ascending proof of concept clinical trial. Study population: patients chronically infected with the hepatitis B virus with a normal liver function and no signs of liver damage, who do not use any antiviral medication (group A, n=16) or are treated with tenofovir > 6 months (group B, n=16). Intervention: Patients will be randomly allocated to daily oral treatment with terbinafine or a matched placebo, either as monotherapy (group A) or as add-on therapy to tenofovir (group B). Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary outcomes: decline in level of serum HBsAg >0.32log10 IU/mL in both groups A and B and decline in serum HBV DNA >0.86log10 in group A at the end of study treatment (week 10 vs baseline). Secondary outcomes: 1) Safety and tolerability of terbinafine as mono- or combination therapy; 2) level of serum HBsAg and HBV DNA at 3 months follow-up; 3) decline of HBsAg levels over time (all visits); 4) HBV RNA, large HBsAg (LHBs) HBcrAg levels, and HBeAg status at baseline and end of study 4). Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Patients participating in this study will undergo physical examinations and blood sample collections (13 samples and in total 467.5 mL). They will also be asked to fill in the HBQOL and EQ5D5L quality of life questionnaires and a medicine diary. In total there will be 13 visits in the hospital of which 7 will be for blood collection only. Terbinafine can induce liver damage 1 of 50,000 to 120,000 prescriptions (LiverTox), a weekly safety laboratory control is implemented in the visits to detect possible liver toxicity in an early stage and prevent liver damage.
The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between hepatitis B virus genotype and treatment response in children with chronic hepatitis B with specific treatment indications. This is a prospective cohort study, with a follow-up period of at least 12 months, conducted at Children's Hospital 1 and City Children's Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The patient's blood was taken to be tested for hepatitis B virus genotyping using Sanger sequencing at the Center for Molecular Biomedicine Ho Chi Minh City. The research hypothesis is that genotype is related to treatment response.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase IIa clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GST-HG131 tablets in patients with chronic hepatitis B
The aim of these study to determine the prevalence of hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) infections and the prognosis of HDV patients in Turkey's southeast. The investigators intend to arrange training sessions for 250 family physicians in Diyarbakir, Batman, Mardin, and Sanliurfa in order to determine those goals. The investigators will talk about diagnosing hepatitis B virus (HBV), HDV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections during these events. To ensure that patients with simultaneous HDV infection are evaluated for HIV/HCV and to detect liver fibrosis with a non-invasive method.
This is a randomized, double-blind Phase Ib/IIa multicenter trial. All eligible subjects will receive TQA3605 tablets or placebo in combination with nucleoside (acid) analogues. A total of 64 subjects will be enrolled.
This observational study will be conducted in patients with chronic co-infection with hepatitis B and D viruses, with negative PCR for HDV RNA in peripheral blood and no signs of active liver inflammation according to blood chemistry parameters, receiving background therapy with bulevirtide for more than 48 weeks and liver biopsy performed or prescribed to be performed as part of routine practice. After the patient has signed the Informed Consent, a portion of the liver biopsy collected as part of routine practice will be sent to the laboratory for PCR testing for HDV RNA, background therapy with bulevirtide will be interrupted, and the patient will be observed in the clinic in accordance with routine medical practice, but at least once times every 4 weeks, for timely detection of relapse of the hepatitis D and initiation of antiviral therapy. Once a relapse of viral hepatitis D is determined via the PCR HDV RNA, the patient's participation in the study will be terminated. The collected data will be analyzed to assess the probability of relapse-free over time. Separate tests will also be conducted for subgroups of patients based on covariates such as duration of previous background therapy with bulevirtide, duration of HDV suppression, use of any other concomitant antiviral therapy during bulevirtide treatment.
This Phase 1b clinical study is a multi-center, open-label, dose escalation, prime only, and prime plus boost therapeutic vaccination study of 2 distinct chimpanzee adenoviral vectors (AdC6 and AdC7), containing parts of hepatitis B virus (HBV) core and polymerase antigens fused within glycoprotein D in a cohort of chronic hepatitis B (CHB)-infected adult participants who are currently receiving entecavir, tenofovir (tenofovir alafenamide fumarate or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate), or lamivudine, with documented HBV viral load suppression for at least 12 months. Approximately 24 participants will be enrolled in Group 1 and randomized to Cohort 1a or Cohort 1b. Those assigned to Cohort 1a will receive a low dose prime therapeutic vaccination of vector AdC7 on Day 1, followed by a booster vaccination on Day 91 using vector AdC6. Those assigned to Cohort 1b will receive a low dose prime therapeutic vaccination of vector AdC6 on Day 1, and will not receive a booster vaccination. Group 2 will then enroll approximately 24 participants randomized to Cohort 2a or Cohort 2b. Those assigned to Cohort 2a will receive a high dose prime therapeutic vaccination of vector AdC7 on Day 1, followed by a booster vaccination on Day 91 using vector AdC6. Those assigned to Cohort 2b will receive a high dose prime therapeutic vaccination of vector AdC6 on Day 1, and will not receive a booster vaccination. All vaccine doses will be administered by intramuscular (IM) injection. All study participants will be followed for a total of 1 year post-prime vaccination.
