Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the persistence of Hepatitis A antibody ~32 years post vaccination in healthy adults. The questions this study will answer are: 1) how long antibody persists and 2) The immune response to an additional dose of vaccine among those with no detectable antibody. Participants will be asked to provide a blood specimen. Those with no detectable antibody will be offered an additional dose of vaccine. The kinetics of antibody response in this population will be summarized.
This is the first-in-human Phase I, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose escalating study to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of the YSHBV-002 in the treatment of CHB in adults ≥18 years old. There will be 3 escalating doses of YS-HBV-002 to be administered intramuscularly: 0.5mL, 1.0mL, and 2.0mL.
The goal of this non-randomised, quasi-experimental, prospective comparative trial is to trial simplified care pathways for hepatitis C testing and treatment for people who inject drugs in Armenia, Georgia, and Tanzania. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the feasibility of implementing a hepatitis C simplified care and same-day treatment care model in community and harm reduction settings in the three study countries? 2. Does a same-day treatment initiation model involving only POC antibody tests (with a shortened read-time) increase hepatitis C treatment uptake and SVR12 outcome (cure) among people who inject drugs compared with a simplified care model involving POC antibody followed by a confirmatory RNA test? 3. What is the comparative cost-effectiveness between a same-day antibody only hepatitis C testing and treatment model and the simplified care model (POC antibody/confirmatory RNA test) model? Participants will: - be enrolled in a new simplified model of care in each country (Arm 1). After the enrolment target is met for Arm 1 (approx. 3-9 months into implementation) new participants will be enrolled into a same-day treatment trial, using presumptive treatment after a reactive POC test result at shortened read-time (5minutes) (Arm 2) - if in Arm 1, participants will commence SOF-VEL DAA treatment after receiving an RNA test to confirm current hepatitis C infection. They will then continue along the treatment pathway, returning for RNA testing 4-16 weeks after SVR12 to determine cure. - if in Arm 2, participants will begin SOF-VEL DAA treatment on the same day as the 5 minute RDT testing. They will then continue along the treatment pathway, returning for RNA testing 4-16 weeks after SVR12 to determine cure. Researchers will compare cure and participant retention rates between the two groups.
The goal of this intervention research is to learn about the safety and tolerability of 162 with a single ascending dose in subjects with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
Severity of alcoholic hepatitis is defined by Maddrey's discriminant function, value of 32 or higher indicates severe alcoholic hepatitis that carries an adverse prognosis with one month mortality of 30%-50%. Prednisolone (40 mg/day) given orally should be considered to improve 28-day mortality in patients with severe AH. Abstinence is key to long-term survival. According to current protocol, we discontinue the treatment after 28 days but only 15 % patient is achieving the DF < 32 after 28 days of treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of extended low dose prednisolone (10mg) in achieving remission by day-90 in steroid responsive severe alcoholic hepatitis.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the action of Imdusiran (AB-729) in the liver of people with chronic hepatitis B. The main questions it aims to answer are: - how well is it working in the liver - how does Imdusiran affect the hepatitis B virus Participants will receive injections of Imdusiran, one injection every 8 weeks, for a total of 4 doses. They will also undergo 2 liver biopsies: one with the first dose of Imdusiran, and the second 8 weeks after the last dose of Imdusiran.
Alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) is a life-threatening condition with high 90-days mortality (up to 40%) and limited treatment options. Previous studies have shown that decreased nutritional intake (less than 21 kcal/kg/day) is associated to a higher mortality compared to patients with a higher caloric intake. Additionally, it has been suggested that subjects with severe AH, should receive a high-protein diet, however, no specific trials have been carried out to address these questions. Thus, the investigators aim to compare nutritional interventions through a randomized controlled trial to assess if a strategy of peripheral parental nutrition (PPN) plus oral nutritional supplementation (ONS) improves outcomes in patients with severe AH. The investigators will compare standard oral intake, enhanced oral intake with IV fluid supplementation, and PPN plus ONS in patients admitted to hospital with severe AH. These results potentially will help guide practitioners on caloric benchmarks targets for patients with severe AH. This study will also assess specific risks and benefits of different nutritional interventions.
observational cross sectional study for children with chronic kidney disease who on regular hemodialysis in assiut univeristy children hospital at dialysis unit, observe prevalence of serological seroconversion of hepatitis c virus and associated risk factors
Background: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection affects 292 million people worldwide; 887,000 die each year from cirrhosis, liver cancer, and related issues. Treatment options are limited. Objective: To test 2 drugs (VIR-2218 and peginterferon) in people with mild or inactive HBV infection. Eligibility: People aged 18 to 65 years with mild or inactive HBV infection. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have blood tests and an eye exam. They will have imaging scans of the liver to check the health of the liver. Participants will be in the study for over 2 years. VIR-2218 is an injection given under the skin of the stomach, upper arm, or thigh. Participants will come to the clinic to receive this injection once a month for 6 months. Peginterferon is also injected under the skin. Participants will have this shot once a week for 6 months. They may either inject themselves at home or come to the clinic to get the injections. Participants will get just the VIR-2218 for 3 months, then both shots for 3 months, then just the peginterferon for 3 months. Participants will have two 3-day stays in the hospital. Tests will include: Liver biopsy. A sample of tissue will be taken from their liver. After the procedure, participants will lie on their right side for 2 hours and then on their back for 4 hours. Fine needle aspiration. A small needle will be used to collect cells from the liver. After the last injection of peginterferon, follow-up visits will continue in the outpatient clinic every 4 to 12 weeks.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the carnitine-orotate complex and biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate in the adjuvant therapy of chronic hepatitis D in real clinical practice: a prospective cohort study
