Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B"

Entacavir and tenofovir are two first line therapies for chronic hepatitis B. Both agents have been claimed equivalent in treatment, there are no head to head trials available in the literature about there effectiveness in HBV Decompensated Cirrhosis. The investigators aimed to compare safety/efficacy and virological response in patients with HBV Decompensated Cirrhosis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Domestic Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablets in Chinese patients with hepatitis B ,compared with Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablets of Gilead.

A Randomized, open-label, multicenter study. The patients after 1-3 years NAs treatment and having achieved HBeAg loss and HBV DNA <200IU/ml will be switched to Pegasys for 48 or 96 weeks (with a 12 weeks period of overlap with the NA for safety reasons). The subjects will be randomized into 2 groups: Group 1 : 48-week standard treatment by Peginterferon alfa 2a 180µg/week Group 2 : 96-week prolonged treatment by Peginterferon alfa 2a 180µg/week. All the patients will be followed up for 48 weeks after discontinuation of the study medication. Note: NAs will be stratified LAM, ETV and ADV, with the ratio 1:1:1.

Study Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess that Liquid Acupuncture(Herb Acupoints Injection) Therapeutics could achieve permanent efficacy response in Chronic Hepatitis B. Efficacy Assessment: At cessation of the Treatment(about at 24 weeks)comparing Testing Data with the Normal Criteria and their individual baseline.Continue for monitoring the Status 1-5 years. Data Analysis: Each 4 weeks collecting Patients' testing data and fill a table.A summary table will be presented as frequency tables for categorical variables as number or percentage.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies in China, and approximately 90% of the patients with HCC are also infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). For patients with unresectable disease, the goal of palliative treatment is to control symptoms and prolong survival. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) using iodized oil and chemotherapeutic agents combines the effect of targeted chemotherapy with that of ischemic necrosis induced by arterial embolization. It can be administered repeatedly and can prolong survival in patients with unresectable hypervascular HCC. The long-term prognosis, however, remains guarded because of frequent development of locoregional tumor recurrence, which, together with concomitant hepatic decompensation, is the main cause of death. Adefovir works by blocking reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that is crucial for the hepatitis B virus (HBV) to reproduce in the body. Based on these results, the investigators conducted a randomized controlled trial to test the hypothesis that adefovir treatment would reduce or postpone the recurrence rate and improve the overall survival rate in patients after TACE treatment of HBV-related unresectable HCC.

The purpose of this study is to to prove that the long-term efficacy of strategy of treatment adjustment at W24 according to virological response based on ROADMAP concept is better than standard of care strategy. To evaluate the off-treatment durability of HBeAg seroconversion in patients who discontinued treatment due to sustained HBeAg seroconversion and HBV DNA<300copies/ml with over 12 months consolidation treatment

The general objective of the present clinical trial is to compare the therapeutic efficacy of a combination therapeutic vaccine containing hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) [later called NASVAC] with a commonly used antiviral drug, pegylated interferon in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).

Entecavir(ETV) plus Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate(TDF) combination will show effective antiviral activity and prevent further development of antiviral resistance in hepatitis B e antigen(HBeAg)-positive or -negative Chronic Hepatitis B(CHB) patients who experienced multidrug resistance All subjects will orally take investigational drugs once daily for 48 weeks. All subjects will be assessed at baseline, Week 4, 12, 24, 36 and 48. Evaluations at each visit will include vital signs, physical examinations, laboratory tests and HBV DNA levels. They were also questioned about adverse events and concomitant medications. At baseline and every six months thereafter, serum will be assayed for HBV serology. Genotypic analysis will be performed at baseline and 48 weeks.

In order to study the immunotherapeutic effects of electroporation (EP)-mediated dual-plasmids Hepatitis B Virus DNA vaccine, the investigators plan to conduct a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, approved by Chinese State Food and Drug Administration with written informed consent from each chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with baseline ALT more than 2 times the ULN, for whom antiviral treatment is indicated and who were under the simultaneous lamivudine (LAM) chemotherapy.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of 12 weeks of treatment with clevudine, at one of three doses, in patients chronically infected with hepatitis B virus.
