Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

The objectives of this study are to collect and assess data related to safety and effectiveness of Sovaldi treatment regimens, per the approved prescribing information for Sovaldi, in routine clinical practice and report results to Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS).

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir with ribavirin used for participants infected with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 2 in daily practice in Japan.

(1) Due to missed childhood vaccination programs, the majority of adult patients with NAFLD in Canada do not have immunity to hepatitis B. (2) Adults with NAFLD who receive the HBV vaccine have reduced immunogenic responses in the setting of obesity (i.e., protective anti-HBs titres). Aims: (1) To determine the sero-prevalence of immunity against hepatitis B in a cohort of prospectively evaluated adult NAFLD patients. (2) To prospectively determine HBV vaccine responses (anti-HBs titres) in adult NAFLD patients.

Compare Hepatiis C Virus (HCV) detection between oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and normal tissues, to determine the possible relationship between HCV and OSCC.

Infection and cancer is a major cause of death and morbidity, and may be preventable through vaccination. It is not fully understood at the molecular level why some people respond better than others to vaccines until now the technology to assess this has not been available. This has impaired vaccine development. The overall goal of the Human Vaccines Project is to understand the 'rules' of how vaccines work. In this demonstration project the investigators will vaccinate healthy adults with hepatitis B vaccine to start to understand better how it works, ultimately helping with rational vaccine design in the future.

The interferon- and ribavirin- (RBV) free combination regimen of glecaprevir plus pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) for the treatment of genotypes 1 to 6 of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) viral infection has been shown to be safe and effective in randomized controlled clinical trials. This observational study is an effectiveness research examining the regimen of GLE/PIB, used according to local label, under real world conditions in a clinical practice patient population.

This early post-marketing study is an observational, prospective and descriptive study of patients receiving daclatasvir for the treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C at participating sentinel sites for the CNFV in Mexico.

Chronic viral hepatitis often leads to liver scarring - cirrhosis. If the virus is eradicated from the liver, the liver scarring and liver function often recovers. In some patients the damage is too severe and recovery does not take place. It is not yet known which patients have liver disease that is too advanced to benefit from therapy nor is it known how fast the recovery occurs. Non-intrusive dynamic liver testing (DLT) may allow us to predict the functionality of the liver post treatment and may guide us in treatment choices - for example patients who are predicted not to recover may be prioritised for transplantation. Indocyanine green (ICG) is a dye solely excreted by the liver into bile and used to measure its dynamic function. Transient elastography is similar to ultrasound and measures the degree of fibrosis within the liver. The investigators hypothesise that the use of non-intrusive dynamic liver testing pre-treatment, will allow us to delineate patients before therapy who will have functional liver recovery following viral eradication. The investigators hypothesise that monitoring changes in liver fibrosis and liver function in patients with historical viral clearance will allow an assessment of the likely speed of recovery of liver fibrosis and function - for example if all patients 5 years after treatment for viral hepatitis induced cirrhosis have 'normal' fibrosis and liver function scores the investigators will be able to conclude that recovery is complete within 5 years. The investigators will perform a study pre and post-treatment assessing liver function using non-intrusive dynamic liver testing in addition to currently-used 'liver function' scoring systems, in a multivariate analysis, to determine whether or not the investigators can identify patients who are will have functional liver recovery post therapy.

The purpose of the study is to describe: 1) the clinical profile, past and current management of participants with hepatitis C in Brazil reference centers; 2) the current situation about demographics characteristics, liver disease progression and clinical outcomes in Brazilian Hepatitis C virus (HCV) participants naive, in treatment and previously exposed to antiviral treatment without sustained virological response (SVR).

Observational study. All HIV-infected patients who have been diagnosed of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), following the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria, in the participant centers are included. Epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data are collected. The clinical and epidemiological characteristics of HCC cases will be analyzed. The efficacy and outcomes after modalities of HCC therapy will be assessed. Mortality and its predictors will be also assessed. In those cases infected by hepatitis C virus (HCV), the impact of HCV therapy on outcomes will be analysed.
