Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis, Chronic"

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to augment the response of patients with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B to entecavir by using a temporary peginterferon alpha-2a add-on strategy

A total of 2000 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with liver biopsy performed at least 1 year after antiviral therapy are enrolled. All the patients will receive original antiviral treatment for the following 10 years. Patients will be assessed at baseline and at every six months for blood count, liver function test, alpha fetoprotein (AFP), prothrombin time, liver ultrasonography, liver stiffness measurement (LSM), Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and HBV serological markers. HBV-related endpoint events, including cirrhosis decompensations (ascites, esophageal variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), liver transplantation and liver-related death, will be collected during follow-up.

A pilot feasibility study of a small randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing a video-conferencing cognitive behavioral coping skills (VC-CBCS) group to standard of care (SC) for symptomatic patients previously diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C to evaluate feasibility, patient satisfaction and differences in symptoms, quality of life and liver markers.

Randomized, double blind parallel group, positive control, multi-center trial. Patients will be randomized at 1:1 ratio in group A or group B

The objective of this study is to provide open label emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) for an additional 5 years (240 weeks) to adults completing study GS-US-203-0107.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether Viusid, a nutritional supplement, reduce the mortality and the complications (ascites, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatorenal syndrome, hepatic encephalopathy, gastrointestinal bleeding, sepsis and hepatocellular carcinoma) of patients with cirrhosis of the liver secondary to HCV infection in comparison with placebo, during 96 weeks of treatment.

This is a phase 3, double-blinded, multicenter study. The study will consist of 2 substudies: Substudy 1 (SS1) will be double-blinded and enroll non-cirrhotic subjects and Substudy 2 (SS2) will be open label and enroll subjects with compensated cirrhosis.

Randomized trial of Hepatitis C-genotype 1-infected patients with compensated cirrhosis comparing the standard of care (Peginterferon/Ribavirin/Sofosbuvir) versus the off-label combination of simeprevir+ sofosbuvir without Ribavirin.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of PEGASYS® (peginterferon alfa-2a 40KD) plus Robatrol® (ribavirin) combination therapy given for 36 weeks versus 48 weeks on the clearance of HCV viremia 24 weeks after treatment end

This study will examine whether 12 month treatment with entecavir(Baraclude®) has an effect on changes of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and of hyaluronan measurement in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection.
