Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B, Chronic"

The investigators evaluated the safety and efficacy of a short lead-in course (8 weeks) of entecavir followed by combination of entecavir plus peginterferon alfa-2a for 40 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ARC-520 in combination with entecavir is effective in the treatment of patients with chronic HBV Infection.

This study evaluates the addition of birinapant in subjects with chronic Hepatitis B who are currently receiving anti-viral therapy with either tenofovir or entecavir. Patients will receive either birinapant or placebo in addition to their anti-viral therapy.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common solid cancers worldwide, and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the most common etiology of HCC in Asia. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the standard treatment for patients with unresectable HCC in the BCLC intermediate stage, but the HCC recurrence rates and long-term mortality rates are quite high. These intermediate-staged HCC patients usually need repeated TACE due to tumor recurrence, and they may die of HCC progression or liver decompensation after repeated TACE. Improved liver function and decreased liver disease progression due to oral antiviral therapy have been proven to be effective for chronic hepatitis B, and oral antiviral therapy may keep better liver reserve and provide better chance for HCC patients received TACE. In addition, chronic HBV infection is one of the most important factors for HCC development, and antiviral therapy can improve the outcomes after curative treatment. However, the evidence of improving outcomes of HCC patients underwent TACE by oral antiviral therapy is lacking. Moreover, Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) is one of the most potent oral antiviral agents, and its safety and very low long-term viral resistance rate have been also reported. There is no study to evaluate the impacts of TDF for HBV-related HCC patients underwent TACE. Until now, routine antiviral therapy for HBV-related HCC patients underwent TACE has still not been recommended by current guidelines. The hypothesis of this study is that a potent oral antiviral therapy for patients with HBV-related HCC patients receiving TACE improve patients' outcomes

This study is being done to compare the safety and efficacy of PEG-Intron™ to that of PEGASYS™ in participants with chronic hepatitis B (hepatitis B envelope antigen [HBeAg] positive or negative) who have not previously been treated with interferon.

The overall goal of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of FG-3019 for reversing liver fibrosis in subjects with chronic hepatitis B infection who are beginning antiviral therapy with entecavir. This Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study will enroll subjects with chronic active hepatitis B infection and liver fibrosis (Ishak score ≥2) who are eligible for antiviral therapy.

An open study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Sustained effect of Clevudine monotherapy or Adefovir and Clevudine combination in proportion to Roadmap concept in Patients with chronic hepatitis B.

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal antiviral treatment for lamivudine resistant hepatitis B patients.

For chronic HBV infection, an optimal pharmacological agent to promote recovery from chronic HBV infection would be one that inhibits HBV DNA polymerase, combined with the clearence from the liver of cccDNA to block HBV reactivation after the circulating viral burden has been eliminated by therapy. The activity of clevudine on cccDNA in combination with its potent antiviral activity on HBV polymerase makes it the optimal agent in combination with tenofovir for this protocol.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of: single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) administration of JNJ-64457744, administered to healthy adult participants (Part 1 and Part 3), including a cohort of Asian participants (Part 1); and after single dose administration of JNJ-64457744 to chronic hepatitis B (CHB) participants who are virologically suppressed on nucleos(t)ide analog (NA) treatment (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [TDF], tenofovir alafenamide [TAF], or entecavir [ETV]) (Part 2).
