Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B, Chronic"

This study is being conducted to compare the safety and effectiveness of the investigational medication, LdT (Telbivudine) with Lamivudine, a drug currently approved by the US, European and Asian Health Authorities for the treatment of hepatitis B infection. The results for patients taking LdT will be compared to results for patients taking Lamivudine.

Patients who have completed 3 years follow-up of the past Beijing Science and Technology Commission Research will receive another 7-years anti-viral therapy. Patients will be assessed at baseline and every six months for blood cell count, liver function test, HBVDNA, AFP, prothrombin time, liver ultrasonography, and Fibroscan. CT or MRI and endoscopy will be performed at baseline and 7 years. At the end of the study, the cumulative rate of clinical hepatic hard endpoint will be calculated.

This is a multi-center, single-arm, open-label study on the virological response of chronic HBV infection to pegyinterferon-alfa-2a among patients who achieved HBeAg seroconversion on nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) treatment. The primary endpoint of this study is to investigate the sustained response (HBeAg seroconversion with HBV DNA <2000 IU/ml) to peginterferon at 24 weeks after the end of treatment.

This study will evaluate immune responses in patients with HBeAg-negative chronic Hepatitis B treated with Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a). Eligible patients will have been randomized in study ML18253 to receive Pegasys 180 mcg subcutaneously for 48 or 96 weeks. Sample collection period for each patients will occur in the first 24 weeks.

The purpose of this trial is to provide data of absence of inflammation in patient liver histology after long-term telbivudine treatment and thus help investigators to make a comprehensive judgment on treatment discontinuation in selected patients

This study was designed to evaluate the rate of subjects with HBV DNA less than 20 IU/mL after taking TenofoBell® tablet for 48 weeks

A single-center, open-Label, randomized, single-dose, two-period, two-sequence, crossover study to assess the bioequivalence of test formulation entecavir tablets 1.0 mg with reference formulation entecavir tablets (Baraclude®) 1.0 mg in healthy adult subjects under fasting conditions.

The natural history and response to therapy of chronic hepatitis B infection in West Africa are currently poorly understood. In this study, employees of the Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Board (CBCHB) and spouses who are found to be hepatitis B positive on screening will be offered enrollment. Disease monitoring and treatment will be provided following current WHO guidelines. Clinical data will be prospectively recorded for 5 years, and bio-specimens will be frozen for future analysis.

A randomized, open-label multicentre clinical trial of daily Myrcludex B versus entecavir in patients with HBeAg negative chronic hepatitis B.

This open-label, randomized, parallel-arm study will assess the early immunologic response in treatment-naïve Asian male patients with chronic hepatitis B after initiation of treatment with Pegasys or tenofovir or Pegasys plus tenofovir. Patients will be randomized to one of 4 cohorts to receive either Pegasys (360mcg subcutaneously weekly) or tenofovir (300mg orally daily) or both or no treatment for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks on study treatment, patients may opt to receive standard of care treatment with Pegasys. Target sample size is <50.
