Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B, Chronic"

Phyllanthus Urinaria - Adenosma Glutinosum - Eclipta Prostrata - Ascorbic Acid combination plus Tenofovir in treatment of acute and chronic hepatitis B. Method the combination of drugs derived from natural and artificial medicaments. Has stronger effect on immune system, effective good against HBV replication. This is a substantial new insight into the pathogenesis of disease, with a clear path toward clinical application, or which would lead to a substantial advance and perfect in management or public health policy.

This Phase 4 study is designed for the collection of blood biomarker samples from participants who have completed CHB treatment with at least 24 weeks of a pegylated interferon alfa-2a (Peg-IFN alfa-2a) containing regimen and at least 24 weeks post-treatment follow-up. Participants may be enrolled from historical studies supported or sponsored by Roche, ongoing studies supported or sponsored by Roche, or from general medical practice. The follow-up of individuals who choose to participate in this study will be in accordance with the ongoing studies or with the general medical practice of the physician. Data from whole blood deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples collected in the GV28555 study or available from previously collected Roche Clinical Repository (RCR) samples will be used for combined analysis with data from other applicable studies. Procedures will include blood sample collection (not applicable for participants who previously have consented and donated RCR DNA samples) and medical record capture.

On treatment parameters for Lamivudine resistance in HBV treated Egyptian patients

Define the patients who lost HBsAg, studying the loss predictive factors and if there was suspension of treatment, study the evolution after that

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains difficult to eradicate with about 240 million people living with HBV chronic infection. HBsAg clearance, correlated with a good clinical prognosis, is difficult to achieve even with antiviral treatments (3-14 %). HBV envelope proteins are essential for entry into hepatocyte and are targeted by the immune system. Molecular characteristics of HBV envelope proteins may favour better viral fitness at the entry step into hepatocytes and/or HBV escape from host immunity. Here we investigated whether variability of HBV envelope proteins can contribute to the differential responses to anti-HBV treatment in patients with HBsAg clearance or persistence.

In this cohort study, patients with chronic hepatitis B who prior participated in TB1211IFN study and received at least 39 doses of peginterferon alfa will be enrolled. HBsAg/anti-HBs level, HBeAg/anti-HBe level, Serum HBV DNA load and alanine transaminase level will be test every year from the second year to the fifth year after the ending of peginterferon alfa treatment, and long-term benefit of interferon treatment will be evaluated.

This study has the aim of describing viral mutation profiles in patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B receiving antihepadnaviral therapy.

Chronic hepatitis by the B virus (HBV) and/or by the C virus (HCV) is a major public-health problem since it presents a long phase of clinical latency which makes its early diagnosis difficult and results in the development of a large number of cases to complications such as cirrhosis, hepatic insufficiency and hepatocarcinoma. In Brazil, it is estimated that the number of HBV is two million, of which 72 thousand have been reported. As regards HCV, the ratio is one of three million estimated cases to 52 thousand reports. Learning about the serological profile of the users of a viral hepatitis reference service is fundamental for the planning of diagnostic and caregiving actions; therefore, it is the objective of this study.

Serum HBV DNA is a referent but insufficient marker of therapeutic follow-up in chronic hepatitis B treatment. Intra hepatic cccDNA disappearance reflects HBV eradication in the liver. Intra lymphocyte cccDNA could be a new marker of HBV eradication after treatment. The major interest of this marker is that it can be measured by a simple blood test instead of a liver biopsy.

This multicenter, prospective, observational study will evaluate the one-year outcomes in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B patients who had received Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) in Arm A of study ML22265. Data will be collected from each patient for up to one year post-therapy.
