Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B, Chronic"

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a serious liver disease worldwide, and the leading cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).HBsAg loss/seroconversion is considered to be the ideal endpoint of antiviral therapy in both HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative patients, as well as the ultimate treatment goal in CHB. However, some patients who have achieved HBsAg loss would reverse back to HBsAg positive, or even become HBV reactive with recurrence of viremia. In current study, the viral and HBsAg response in patients who have achieved HBsAg loss by interferon (IFN) treatment will be observed for 96 weeks after the completion of IFN treatment. The primary analysis will be performed at the end of 96 weeks. Following the completion of the study period of 96 weeks, patients will be offered to participate in a long term study for further observation of additional 144 weeks (total of 240 weeks from the enrollment).

This study aim to find out the risk of exacerbation of chronic hepatitis B after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or hepatectomy for HCC, and it's effect to treatment outcome.

The study is to observe the therapeutic effects and long-term follow-up after ending anti-HBV therapy with nucleos(t)ide analogs in patients with chronic hepatitis b.

Recent TAF has introduced to have more safe profiles than TDF in clinical trials. Especially, TDF has the renal safety issue in high risk group including HIV, decompensated cirrhosis (ascites), uncontrolled DM etc. However, there is no available cohort data for treatment efficacy and safety in TDF-TAF switch therapy in treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis B. The aim of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of TAF switch therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B who have been treated with TDF.

Pegylated interferon(IFN) α-2a(Peg-IFN-α) not only inhibit viral replication, but also play an important role in immune regulation, while entecavir(ETV) drugs only inhibit viral replication. In hepatitis B infection, Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells（pDCs） are the main effector cells in early antiviral innate immune response. This study was aimed at investigating the changes of pDCs frequency and function, and the expression of costimulatory molecules CD86(Cluster of Differentiation antigen 86) during Peg-IFN-αand entecavir(ETV) therapy.Meanwhile, investigators want to verify whether Peg-IFN-α suppressed the virus and the reduction of virus led to the recovery of pDCs function, or Peg-IFN-α enhanced pDCs function which gave rise to the decline of the virus.

To analyze the incidence of liver cancer after entecavir administration among patients with low viral load and cirrhosis due to chronic hepatitis B infection.

The aim of this study is to compare the BW and metabolic profiles of CHB patient before and after shifting to TAF therapy. In this study, investigators will enroll 100 entecavir and 100 TDF treated CHB patients who will switch to TAF and then follow for one year. Demographic, liver function tests, sugar profiles, lipid profiles, ASCVD risk score, body weight, body weight, body height, and waist circumference will be checked and recorded periodically. Investigators anticipated that body weight will change significantly after switching to TAF in both entecavir and TDF group and may associated with increased risk of cardiovascular risk.

The current first-line treatment for HBV is long-term oral antiviral drugs to inhibit HBV DNA replication. First-line antiviral drugs recommended by the Chinese 2015 Hepatitis B Guidelines include ETV and TDF. This study is based on a real-world clinical cohort to retrospectively analyze the effects of ETV and TDF on the long-term (5-year) incidence of HCC in Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B with compensated cirrhosis. The results will guide the revision of the Chinese HBV guidelines.

Studies have shown that the HBeAg seroconversion rate of HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B with tenofovir for one year's treatment was 17.8% and the negative conversion rate of their HBeAg and HBV DNA were 20.0% and 97.6%. The HBeAg Seroconversion rate of these patients was lower.Clinically, most patients need to take tenofovir for a long time, which may cause serious complications such as renal function damage,with decreased therapy compliance and Increased cost of treatment.In the course of tenofovir treatment, it is common that HBV-DNA negative patients with HBeAg Being down poor or staying at a low positive level for a long time keep taking the medicine. Therefore, it is Significant to Increase the HBeAg seroconversion rate of tenofovir during the clinical treatment. Telbivudine has a strong antiviral effect.Studies have shown that the HBeAg seroconversion rate of HBeAg positive CHB for one year was 25%, which was higher than other nucleosides, and it could also improve the damaged renal function to a certain extent.The HBeAg seroconversion rate of patients with poor response to tenofovir for 12 months could be still poor if for 24 months . Therefore, this study is to observe the efficacy of these patients combined with telbivudine.

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is an important public health problem in the world. There are still more than 250 million chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) infected people in the world. Its preventive effect has reached a relatively ideal effect, but its therapeutic effect still has great room for improvement. Tenofovir(TDF) is the first-line antiviral treatment with good clinical efficacy. However, some patients who take TDF for a long time have different degrees of renal dysfunction, which limits the use of TDF in these patients. Tenofovir Alafenamide Fumarate (TAF) has better plasma stability and stronger liver targeting, and reduces the side effects of renal function damage and bone mineral density reduction. Telbivudine (LDT), a nucleoside analogue, has the advantages of rapidly reducing HBV viral load and high HBeAg seroconversion rate. In addition, prospective studies have shown that LDT can improve the estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR).Therefore, this study aims to explore the clinical study of LDT combined with TDF and TAF in patients treated with tenofovir and EGFR < 90ml / min / 1.72m².
