Filter by:Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) infections are emerging in the Western world with a predominance of HEV genotype (gt) 3. Except for age older than 50 years, male gender, chronic liver disease and immunosuppressed status, no correlators with clinical outcomes have been identified so far. With this study, we want to examine viral factors associated with the morbidity and mortality of HEV infections in Belgium as well as find correlators with clinical outcomes.
This is a Phase I double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial (1:4 ratio of placebo to vaccine) of Hepatitis E virus vaccine containing a 239 amino acid subfragment of Hecolin(R) (HEV-239) in 25 US males and non-pregnant females ages 18 - 45 (inclusive) to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of HEV-239. Subjects will receive 3 doses of study product on Days 1, 29, and 180. Subjects will remain in the study for up to 13 months (including screening). The study duration will be approximately 15 months. Subjects will be observed for 30 minutes after vaccination. The occurrence of solicited injection site and systemic reactogenicity events will be measured from the time of study vaccination through Day 8 after each vaccination. These will be ascertained through use of an electronic memory (e-memory) aid, a telephone call on day 4 after each dose of vaccine, a Day 8 clinic visit, and potentially at the Day 15 clinic visit after each dose of vaccine. Unsolicited adverse events will be collected from vaccination through Day 29 after each vaccination. Serious adverse events will be collected from the time of the first study vaccination through the last study visit (Day 360). The study includes multiple phlebotomy time points for immunogenicity and blood collection for future use at visit 1 and Days 8, 15, and 29 after each vaccination. The durability of the immune response and future use collection will be assessed at 5 months after the first boost (Day 180) and at 6 months after the second boost (Day 360). The primary objectives of the study are to; 1) assess the safety and reactogenicity of HEV-239 following delivery of each vaccine dose; and 2) assess the number of subjects with > / = 4 fold rise in Hepatitis E virus (HEV) immunoglobulin G (IgG) at any time after vaccination.
This is a HEV seroprevalence in the health donors in the Canton Ticino study. The pre-donation sampling pouch of each blood donor coming form the Cantone Ticino region will be collected and tested for HEV serology (IgM and IgG).
This study is to evaluate lot-lot consistency of Recombinant Hepatitis E Vaccine (Escherichia Coli) Hecolin®.
This is a single arm multicenter pilot study to provide preliminary evidence whether sofosbuvir (SOF) is efficacious and can be safely used in patients with chronic Hepatitis E virus infection.
This phase IV clinical study was designed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the recombinant Hepatitis E vaccine (Hecolin®), manufactured by Xiamen Innovax Biotech CO., LTD., in healthy adults (over 18 years) with accelerated vaccination schedule. The study volunteers will receive the 3 doses of Hecolin® administered intramuscularly according to a 0-7-21 days schedule or a 0-1-6 month schedule.
This phase IV clinical study was designed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Hecolin® in the chronic Hepatitis B patients on the clinical stability.
Study of seroprevalence of hepatitis E among HIV positive patient in Basque country, France in 2016.
The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of hepatitis E virus vaccine given in women of child bearing age in preventing HEV disease during pregnancy among women in rural Bangladesh.
Primary Purpose: 1. Evaluate the prevalence and incidence of HEV infection in MHD patients. 2. Compare differences of the prevalence and incidence between the MHD patients and the control. . Secondary purpose: Analyze risk factors of HEV infection.
