Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase IIa study, designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ZM-H1505R in combination with Baraclude versus Baraclude monotherapy in adult CHB subjects with HBV DNA <2000 IU/mL but ≥ 50 IU/mL and who have received ETV (0.5 mg, once daily [QD)] monotherapy for at least 12 months. The study is planned to enroll 90 adult CHB subjects who have received ETV monotherapy for at least 12 months and are still receiving ETV monotherapy (0.5 mg, QD) continuously. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio into 3 treatment groups. Both HBeAg positive and negative subjects will be included. There will be 20 HBeAg positive subjects and 10 HBeAg negative subjects in each treatment group. After 48 weeks of treatment with the corresponding regimen, subjects will continue to take Baraclude 0.5 mg QD, as a monotherapy for a 12-week follow-up period for observation of efficacy and safety of ZM-H1505R.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of HRS9950 tablets in chronic hepatitis B patients who are virologically suppressed on nucleoside or nucleotide analogues (NAs).

A multicenter, randomized controlled trial design was used to select patients with chronic hepatitis B in the immune control phase (i.e. HBsAg positive, HBeAg negative, normal ALT and HBsAg≤1000IU/ml, HBV DNA≤2000IU/ml) to enter this study, and to compare the feasibility, effectiveness and safety treated with Pegylated Interferon α2b Continuous therapy or Pulse therapy in immune-controlled chronic hepatitis B patients.

This Phase 1/ 2a study is a multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of SCG101 in subjects with hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma

The study is designed to assess efficacy of a finitie treatment in Chronic Hepatitis B patients who had stable treatment of NAs for ≧ 2 years， which is compared hepalatide in combination with Pegylated Interferon + TAF with Pegylated Interferon +TAF. Subjects will be randomly assigned to the hepalatide or placebo groups , 15 subjects in each group . Subjects will receive hepalatide+Pegylated Interferon +TAF treatment for 48 weeks or placebo +PegylatedInterferon +TAF treatment for 48 weeks , Then, stopping all treatments and followed with further 24 weeks follow-up.

This is an open-label, single arm (two cohorts), single-center, phase II pilot-study to provide preliminary evidence whether hepatitis B immunoglobulins (HBIG) are efficacious and can be safely used in patients with chronic Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection. A total of 20 patients (male or female adults aged ≥ 18 years) will be enrolled in the study and receive hepatitis B immunoglobulins Hepatect®CP and Zutectra®.

This is an open-label, pilot safety and efficacy trial for adults who are active on the heart, lung, or kidney transplantation lists and are eligible to receive an organ from an increased risk donor who has evidence of active or prior hepatitis C infection (HCV).

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) continues to disproportionately affect vulnerable and marginalized persons in Canada. During the interferon treatment era, certain circumstances precluded individuals from receiving treatment, most notably mental health concerns or active substance use. In addition to the tolerability and efficacy of all-oral direct acting antivirals (DAAs), novel diagnostic strategies have also increased engagement in the care cascade. Point-of care and/or dried blood spot antibody as well as RNA testing allow for diagnosis without the need for phlebotomy, a major barrier for those with a history of past or current injection drug use. Despite these advances in diagnostic streamlining and increased cure rates, engagement post-diagnosis continues to be a major gap. Although the exact mechanism of HCV acquisition may not be clear - people who inject drugs, persons who are street-involved or low-income, or persons who are difficult-to-reach for other reasons, often experience both structural and geographic challenges to obtaining care. Community pharmacists may be the first point of contact for higher risk populations and may avoid testing and/or treatment for fear of judgement or poor treatment in hospital/specialist settings. While studies have demonstrated the feasibility of treating people receiving opioid against therapy (OAT), it remains unclear whether Canadian pharmacists can safely and effectively screen, and/or confirm HCV, work-up patients for HCV treatment, and prescribe with minimal oversight. If this model proves successful, it may have global utility especially in areas of the world where pharmacists are the initial point of contact for healthcare issues. The aim of this study is to determine whether being tested and linked care and treatment will be more effective in a community pharmacy than a referral to a tertiary care hospital for management of HCV among people on stable OAT, or other populations who experience barriers to care but use community pharmacy services.

Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is a florid presentation of alcoholic liver disease characterized by liver failure in the context of recent and heavy alcohol consumption. The condition carries a high fatality risk; patients with severe AH have a 30% mortality rate at 90 days after presentation. Currently there is no effective treatment for severe alcoholic hepatitis. Based on our current understanding of the disease pathogenesis IL-1 (interleukin) is a key mediator of hepatic inflammation responsible for metabolic disturbances, fibrogenesis stellate cell activation and consequently portal hypertension. Canakinumab is a licensed monoclonal antibody inhibitor of IL-1 and may consequently reverse the adverse effects of the cytokine in patients with this disorder. Therefore, the main objective of the ISAIAH trial is to explore the potential benefits of the IL-1β antibody, Canakinumab (solution for injection), in the treatment of alcoholic hepatitis. ISAIAH is a multicentre, double blind, randomized (1:1), placebo controlled trial. The trial will follow patients up for 90 days and will be conducted in centres across the United Kingdom. Twenty-six patients will be recruited to each arm of the trial: total 52 patients.

The success of transplantation is significantly hindered by the lack of sufficient number of available donors. Many potential donor organs cannot be utilized in clinical transplantation because donors have chronic viral infections such as hepatitis C (HCV) infection. This study will test the possibility of safely transplanting organs from HCV-infected donors into HCV-uninfected recipients. Prior to transplantation, recipients will receive an initial dose of highly effective antiviral prophylaxis using approved direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir (G/P) and they will also receive ezetimibe, a cholesterol-lowering medication that also blocks entry of HCV into liver cells. They will then receive daily dosing of the same medications for 7 days after transplant. The aim of the study is to show that transplantation of organs from HCV+ donors is safe in the era of DAAs. The investigators hypothesize that rates of HCV transmission to recipients will be prevented by the use of DAA prophylaxis and any HCV transmission that does occur will be readily treatable and curable. If successful, the knowledge from this study can have a large impact to patients with end stage organ diseases by providing a large novel source of donors for organ transplantations.
