Filter by:Background: Sudan has a high prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), exceeding 8%. The prevalence of hepatitis B varies across different regions of Sudan, ranging from 6.8% in central Sudan to as high as 26% in southern Sudan. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can lead to various complications, including cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hepatitis D virus (HDV) relies on HBV for replication and can accelerate the progression of HBV-related liver diseases, leading to more severe outcomes. This study aims to determine the prevalence of HDV infection among Sudanese patients with HBV-related liver diseases and to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with HBV/HDV co-infection. Design/Method: This descriptive cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted at Ibn Sina Specialized Hospital in Sudan between June and September 2022. Ninety HBV patients aged 16 years and above were included. Patients were interviewed using a structured questionnaire, and medical histories and examinations were recorded. Investigations included liver function tests, abdominal ultrasounds, and ELISA for Ant-HDV-IgG
Spontaneous, pharmacological observational, no-profit, retrospective, multi-center. This study was designed to get a "real-life" snapshot across several Italian Hepatology centers. All HDV patients are followed up according to EASL 2017 guidelines. This allows uniformity on the indication for antiviral treatment and management of that antiviral therapy. No off-label medications are used. All data are retrievable from the patient's medical record. In addition, clinical and biochemical data from patients at month 0, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 12 of treatment, and otherwise within the study period, will be collected retrospectively/longitudinally. The primary objective of the study is to describe the virological response to BLV in all patients starting BLV therapy, defined as a >2 Log decline in HDV-RNA or undetectable HDV-RNA (using the Robogene 2.0 quantitative kit, LLQ <6 IU/ml) at month 12 of therapy. All patients with active HDV chronic hepatopathy (quantifiable HDV-RNA) who initiated treatment with BLV 2 mg/day during the study period at the S.C. Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico) and at participating centers, and who met the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria.
A phase 2a clinical Study of Hepalatide for Injection in Subjects with Chronic Hepatitis D
MaHeVi is a multicenter, cross-sectional, population-based study which will include 2500 adults in the health care centers / missions located on the 2 sides of the Maroni River. All major inhabitants of the river border between French Guiana and Suriname may participate, after an extensive communication campaign.The main objective is to estimate the prevalence and status of infection with hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), D (VHD) and HIV in the general adult population of the Maroni River, border between French Guiana and Suriname. After signing the informed consent and pre-test counseling, capillary blood will be collected on blotting paper. Participants will be interviewed on infection risk factors. Positivity for HBsAg, total anti-HBcAb, anti-HCV Ab, total anti-HDV Ab(for HBsAg positive) and HIV p24 Ag or anti-HIV Ab (confirmed by molecular biology for hepatitis and Western Blot for HIV) will inform respectively on the HBV, HCV, HDV and HIV infection status.
This cross-sectional study will screen out hepatitis D virus-infected patients in HBsAg-positive people. Observe and describe the prevalence of hepatitis D infection among HBsAg positive people. The provinces of China are divided into 5 geographical areas (North, South, East, West and Central) to recruit patients according to the population density of each area. After statistical calculation, the total number of population needed is 3808.
Globally, about 248 million people are chronic HBV surface antigen carriers, and about 5% of them also had hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection as well. The prevalence of HBsAg in Egypt is intermediate (2-7%) . Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is an incomplete RNA virus that needs hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) to help its replication. HDV is considered a subviral particle because it depends on HBV for its propagation. Combined HDV- HBV infection produces more severe liver affection than HBV alone. HDV infection leads to both of acute and chronic liver illnesses. Acute HDV infection can occur at the same time with acute HBV infection (coinfection) or can be superimposed on the top of chronic HBV infection. About 20% to 30% of coinfections of HDV and HBV in humans develop fatal fulminant hepatitis versus 2% of patients with acute hepatitis B mono-infection. Worldwide, Hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection present in more than 15 million people and it is endemic in the Middle East . In Upper Egypt, data about the prevalence, clinical, laboratory and virological characters of Hepatitis D virus-infected patients is rare. This study aims were: 1. To estimate the prevalence of hepatitis D virus infection among HBsAg positive individuals. 2. To determine the clinical, laboratory and virological characters of HDV infected patients.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of bulevirtide combination with pegylated interferon in participants with chronic hepatitis delta (CHD).
Two LNF-containing regimens will be evaluated in the D-LIVR Phase 3 study: (1) LNF/RTV/PEG IFN-alfa-2a and (2) LNF/RTV. Each of these arms will have efficacy endpoints that measure clinical benefit with regard to viral suppression and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) normalization. For each LNF-containing regimen, a composite endpoint of EOT (48 weeks) virologic response and ALT normalization will be used. Virologic response will be defined as a 2 log10 IU/mL reduction from baseline.
Background: Infection with hepatitis D virus leads to a chronic liver disease with no effective treatment. Lonafarnib has improved hepatitis D virus levels in blood, but the medication still needs more research. Ritonavir makes other drugs more effective and is used with lonafarnib to make it more effective. Lambda interferon stimulates the body s response to viruses. Researchers want to see if combining these drugs fights hepatitis D and helps the liver. Objectives: To see if combining lonafarnib, ritonavir, and lambda interferon is safe and effective to treat chronic hepatitis D infection. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with chronic hepatitis D infection Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, and blood and urine tests. Throughout the study, all participants will: - Follow rules for medicine, food, and contraception - Take hepatitis B medicine - Have weight checked - Have routine blood and urine tests - Give stool samples - Female participants will have pregnancy tests. Participants will have 3 visits before treatment. They will repeat screening tests and have a heart test and liver scan. Participants will have a 5-day inpatient stay. They will: - Baseline blood and urine tests - Have eye tests - Answer health questions - Have a liver sample taken and liver blood pressure measured. Participants will be sedated. - Have reproductive tests - Start the study drugs and have blood draws Over 24 weeks of treatment, participants will: -Take 2 study drugs by mouth every day and 1 as a weekly injection
This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized clinical trial to Assess Efficacy and Safety of 3 Doses of Myrcludex B for 24 Weeks in Combination with Tenofovir Compared to Tenofovir Alone to Suppress HBV Replication in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis D
