Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) based on tenofovir represents a considerably new preventive intervention that has shown to significantly decrease the number of HIV infections while it enables early diagnosis of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STI). In Southern Spain, the target population to receive PrEP are men who have sex with men (MSM) with a history of STI and who pursue high-risk sexual practices regarding the acquisition of HIV, including an elevate number of sex partners, no or inconsistent condom use and the use of specific recreational drugs in the context of sexual activity ("chemsex"). Despite the benefits of PrEP use, it must be taken into consideration that risk compensations that may facilitate the acquisition of other STI may occur, including a higher implementation of risk practices and an increase in the number of partners, which is made easy as various social networks designed for this purpose are available nowadays. In order to better understand the benefit/drawback ratio, accurate data of a population using PrEP under real-life conditions, with densely scheduled follow-up and well-characterized (socio-)demographic parameters, sexual behaviour and STI are warranted.

The Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity Study of Anti hepatitis B virus treatment drug HEC121120 in Healthy subjects and in patients with chronic hepatitis B

At present, Methadone Maintenance Treatment Patients of Hepatitis B Vaccination in are vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine according to the standard three-dose schedule immunization program, and the effect of preventing HBV infection is not ideal. This is a randomized, controlled trial. The study will evaluate the immunogenicity and persistence of 20 µg and 60 µg recombinant hepatitis B vaccine with three or four injections at months 0, 1, and 6 or 0, 1,2, and 6 in Methadone Maintenance Treatment Patients

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the education given to patients with CHB who use oral antiviral drugs on oral antiviral drug use on drug compliance and quality of life.

The study will examine the effects of treatment with N-acetylcysteine ( Mucomyst ) 1 gm twice a day for 30 dyas in 15 patients with hepatitis C. The primary outcome of interest wil be the changes in oxidant stress as measured by different oxidant stress markers level in sera. Secondary outcomes of interest will be changes in viral load of hep C and changes in liver function

The EuroSIDA study is a prospective observational cohort study of 23,000+ patients followed in 100+ clinics in 35 European countries, Israel and Argentina. The study is the largest pan-European cohort study and few studies of a comparable design are available on a global scale. The EuroSIDA study is an ongoing collaboration and patients have been enrolled into the study through 11 cohorts since 1994. The main objective of the study remains the same as in 1994: to prospectively study, clinical, therapeutic, demographic, virological and laboratory data from HIV-1 positive persons across Europe in order to determine their long-term virological, immunological and clinical outcomes. Historically, EuroSIDA has been crucial in reporting key changes in the HIV epidemic, such as the dramatic changes in morbidity and mortality when combination anti-retroviral therapy (cART) was first introduced. As new anti-HCV treatment is introduced to HIV/HCV co-infected patients, it is important for EuroSIDA to remain in the forefront of investigating the treatment benefits and adverse effects. All study documents, study status, newsletters, scientific publications and presentations are available online and are updated continuously at project website. In general terms, the objective of the EuroSIDA study is to continue a long-term, prospective collection of clinical, laboratory and therapeutic data as well as plasma on a large cohort of consecutive HIV infected patients from across Europe in order to (1) assess the factors associated with the clinical, immunological and virological course of HIV infection and HIV-related co-infections and co-morbidities, and (2) continue to provide and develop a surveillance system to describe temporal changes and regional differences in the clinical course of HIV and HIV-related co-infections and co-morbidities in Europe.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether vitamin D is effective in the prevention of hepatocellular carcinoma in those patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Find a possible association between Fibronectin type Ⅲ domain containing protein 5 \ Irsin (FNDC5 rs3480) gene single nucleotide polymorphism with chronic hepatitis B and the distribution of its alleles, in relation to many clinical parameters of the chronic hepatitis B group. Asses the correlation between IL-35 serum level and the risk of chronic hepatitis B. Asses the correlation between SOD serum level and the risk of chronic hepatitis B.

The National Australian HCV Point-of-Care Testing Program will establish an observational cohort to evaluate whether scale-up of finger-stick point-of-care HCV testing increases diagnosis and treatment for HCV infection. Participants will be recruited from settings providing services to people with a risk factor for the acquisition of HCV infection (including drug treatment clinics, needle and syringe programs, homelessness settings, mental health services, prisons, and mobile outreach). All participants who undergo HCV point-of-care testing at the study site will be included in the data collection. Participants will not receive treatment as a part of this study. Participants who are HCV RNA positive will be linked to standard of care.

The principle is to propose dedicated monthly screening days bringing together the health personnel involved (hepatologist, addictologist, nurse in charge of the program, addictology nurse and social worker) and to propose appropriate management for each situation assessed.
