Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B"

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel Design, Phase III Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of CKD-390 tablet

The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of prophylactic entecavir in HBsAg Negative/HBcAb Positive/hepatitis B virus DNA Negative patients with lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of prophylactic entecavir in HBsAg Positive lymphoma patients treated with rituximab-based immunochemotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of entecavir 0.5 mg/d + adefovir 10 mg/d for treatment experienced chronic hepatitis B patients.

Lamivudine had been widely used for treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis B patients. However, development of antiviral resistance has been known as the major drawback: Incidence of lamivudine resistance was reported to be approximately 70% after 5 years (Lok AS et al, 2003). For the treatment of lamivudine resistance, adefovir has been widely used (Lok AS and McMahon B, 2009). However, switching to adefovir monotherapy was also reported to be at high risk of resistance, 25% at year 2 (Yeon JE et al, 2006). Recently, adding adefovir on lamivudine was shown to be superior to switching to adefovir monotherapy by decreasing the adefovir resistance (Rapti I et al, 2007, Lampertico P et al, 2007). However, combination of adefovir and lamivudine does not increase antiviral activity compared with adefovir monotherapy in patients with lamivudine resistance (Peters MG et al, 2004). As many patients are still viremic with the treatment of lamivudine and adefovir over 1 year, the investigators need more potent combination of the drugs. Telbivudine is a new nucleoside analogue with potent antiviral activity. The previous phase III study has shown the superiority of telbivudine over lamivudine in HBeAg positive and negative subjects (Lai CL et al, 2007). Therefore, telbivudine plus adefovir may be a better treatment option than lamivudine plus adefovir for the lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B patients. No study assessing the efficacy of telbivudine plus adefovir has been conducted for these patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of telbivudine plus adefovir compared with lamivudine plus adefovir in lamivudine resistant chronic hepatitis B patients at the end of 1 year follow-up,

The purpose of this study is to compare the long-term efficacy and safety of entecavir 1.0 mg/d + adefovir 10 mg/d with entecavir 0.5 mg/d + adefovir 10 mg/d for chronic hepatitis B patients with inadequate response to NUC therapy

Hepatitis B Virus Antibody Booster Program

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of generic entecavir monotherapy or in combination with adefovir for chronic hepatitis B patients with inadequate response to NUC therapy

This is a randomized, open label study evaluating the efficacy and safety of glucocorticoids in patients with HBV associated pre-ACLF. Sponsor: Department of infectious diseases, Southwest Hospital. Indication: HBV associated acute-on-chronic pre-liver failure(pre-ACLF-HBV). Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of glucocorticoids in patients with pre-ACLF-HBV. Trial Design: Randomized, open label study. Patients with pre-ACLF-HBV will be randomized 1:1 to One of the two groups: A)Dexamethasone 10mg were intravenously injected po daily for the first 5 days, in combination with continued lamivudine 100mg po daily and traditional supporting treatments for 13 weeks. B)Control group. Any glucocorticoids will be not given in all patients. Continued lamivudine 100mg po daily and traditional supporting treatments will be given for 13 weeks. Number of patients: Approximate number of patients to be randomized: N=200 (100 patients in each group). Length of study: Screening period: 3 days; treatment period: 13 weeks. Duration of study: 30 months after first patient randomized, including an recruitment period of 26 months. Investigational treated regimen:Dexamethasone 10mg, iv, once day for 5 days. Concomitant and Comparative regimen: Lamivudine 100mg po daily, traditional supporting treatments. Assessments of Efficacy Primary endpoint: the survival rate at week 13. Secondary endpoint:①The levels of serum T-Bil ≤ 51.3µmol/L;②PTA >80%. Safety: Adverse events, vital signs, and laboratory tests. Procedures(summary): After signing informed consent and meeting screening parameters, patients will be randomized to one of the two treatment groups as described under trial design above. After randomization patients will be seen for evaluation at days 5,10,14,21,28,42,56,70,84,91. Statistical analysis: Assume 1:1 randomization. The sample size is calculated for the primary efficacy variable, the survival rate. Assuming the survival rate equals to: 90% for group A and 50% for group B. 100 patients in each group are required to yield a 80% chance of detecting such a difference when a two-tailed test is employed at the 0.05 significance levels. Every eligible subject will be assigned with a randomization code and receive one of the two treatments, according to the sequence of enrolled.

This observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) in patients with chronic hepatitis B who have failed antiviral treatment with nucleoside (nucleotide) analogues. Data will be collected from patients treated according to the current Summary of Product Characteristics and local standard of care and regulations during 48 weeks of treatment and 24 weeks of follow-up.
