Filter by:Background: Chronic hepatitis D is a serious liver disease caused by a virus. Currently, no medications are approved to treat chronic hepatitis D. Objective: To test a combination of 3 drugs in people with chronic hepatitis D. Eligibility: People 18 years or older with chronic hepatitis D. Design: Participants will be in the study about 2 years. They will have 3 inpatient stays of 3 to 5 days. Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have a test of their heart function and an ultrasound: a wand that uses sound waves to create images of the liver will be rubbed over the skin on their torso. Participants will stay in the clinic for a 3-day baseline visit. They will have imaging scans, an eye exam, and a visit with a reproductive specialist. They will have a liver biopsy: about 1 inch of liver tissue will be removed, either with a tube inserted through a vein in the neck, or with a needle inserted through the participant s side. Participants will take the study drugs for 48 weeks. Two of them are tablets taken twice a day at home; 1 is a shot administered once a week. Participants will begin taking the drugs during a 5-day stay in the clinic. Then they will have 15 outpatient visits while taking the drugs and 7 more after they finish. The last 3-day clinic stay will be 6 months after participants finish taking the drugs. The liver biopsy, imaging scans, and other tests will be repeated.
The purpose of this study is to assess the incidence of participants who reach hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance after discontinuing nucleos(t)ide analog (NA) therapy in participants with HBsAg less than or equal to (<=) 100 international units per milliliter (IU/mL) and participants with HBsAg greater than (>) 100 IU/mL to <= 500 IU/mL at baseline.
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and performance of the CytoSorb® therapy in patients with Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) grade ≥ 2 due to a severe alcohol induced hepatitis (Maddrey DF > 32) and a severe inflammatory response.
Unmethylated cystine-guanosine dinucleotide (CpG) motifs are pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) associated with bacterial and viral-derived DNA that activate the innate and humoral immunity via toll-like receptor 9. This is a randomized controlled pilot study evaluating the clinical and immune correlates of a seroprotective immune response against a CpG-adjuvanted vaccine for hepatitis B.
This is a single patient, single center study evaluating if administration of pan-genotypic DAA therapy on day 3 (+/- 2 days) post-kidney transplant prevents the transmission of hepatitis C virus infection from an HCV-positive donor kidney to an HCV-negative recipient.
Subjects with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection, genotype 1 or 4 and with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and a complete response to HCC therapy will be randomised to immediate or delayed (6 months) HCV therapy with Elbasvir (MK-8742) and Grazoprevir (MK-5172) [EBR/GZR].
The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial comparing two strategies to promote HCV screening, follow-up testing, and treatment among Parkland patients who are 18 years or older who have elevated liver functioning test (LFT) results: in reach with electronic medical record alerts and provider education vs. combination of in reach and provider education plus mailed outreach and patient navigation.
Protection against Hepatitis B infection is a regulatory and safety cornerstone to infection prevention and control programs involving the healthcare workforce in the United States. Until 2018 when a new adjuvanted vaccine was released, immunization for this population has involved a three-dose series followed by an additional three-dose series for those demonstrating lack of seroprotection. If that lack continued following the second three-dose series, and verification of a negative Hepatitis B antigen status, that person has historically been deemed a non-responder to Hepatitis B vaccine and at potential risk for infection. This non-response status may be used to determine job responsibilities representing excessive risk for the healthcare worker resulting in potential career and practice limitations and decisions. With the release of the new adjuvanted vaccine, there is potential to determine the role that new vaccine may play in promoting an immune response among this non-responding subset of at-risk healthcare workers. The aims of this study include: 1) determining the effect of this adjuvanted vaccine in producing seropositivity in a population of healthcare personnel previously deemed as non-responders following administration of two rounds of the traditional 3-dose series of Hepatitis B vaccine and confirmation of negative Hepatitis B antigen; and 2) determining the personal and professional impact of the lack of immunity to Hepatitis B among healthcare personnel.
This is a single center study characterizing the experience of administration of 8 weeks of pan-genotypic DAA therapy in kidney transplantation to prevent the transmission of hepatitis C virus infection from an HCV-positive donor kidney to an HCV-negative recipient.
This study has two parts. Part A will assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AT-777 in healthy subjects. Part B will assess the safety, antiviral activity/efficacy and PK of AT-777 in combination with AT-527 after 8 weeks of treatment in HCV-infected subjects.
