Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B"

Patients with spontaneous decline of HBV DNA were non-randomly assigned to accept peginterferon alfa-2a or entecavir therapy, or didn't accept any antiviral regiment.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of medical ozone in treatment of chronic hepatitis B patients.

This study will provide a rationale for switch from lamivudine plus adefovir to tenofovir monotherapy in Lamivudine plus Adefovir Treated Lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B patients with Undetectable Hepatitis B Virus DNA

The purpose of this study is to offer subjects from centers in Taiwan who successfully complete 168 weeks of treatment in study GS US 174-0108 access to treatment with tenofovir DF for up to three additional years (144 weeks). Subjects will be followed per local standard of care. Serious adverse events (SAEs), drug accountability and patient disposition will be recorded.

Telbivudine reduces DNA and normalizes alanine aminotransferase levels (ALT) in chronic hepatitis B patients with few adverse effects, but its use during pregnancy has not been explored. In this open-label, prospective study from the second trimester to post-partum week 28. This trial is to study the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Telbivudine in HBeAg Positive Chronic Hepatitis B Pregnant Women with high level of serum HBV DNA and elevated alanine aminotransferase levels.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the Quinvaxem vaccine (a liquid combination vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, B. pertussis, hepatitis B and H. influenzae Type B). Healthy Vietnamese infants received three doses of vaccine at 2, 3 and 4 months of age according to the local Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI) schedule

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) plus peginterferon α-2a (Peg-IFN) combination therapy for 48 weeks versus standard of care TDF monotherapy or Peg-IFN monotherapy for 48 weeks in non-cirrhotic adults with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) as determined by loss of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The study will consist of 2 phases for participants in the TDF+Peg-IFN 48 Weeks, TDF 48 Weeks + Peg-IFN 16 Weeks, and Peg-IFN 48 Weeks groups. Following an initial 48 weeks of treatment, participants in these groups will be monitored for 24 weeks for signs of worsening HBV, and those meeting TDF retreatment and flare management criteria will be eligible to receive TDF monotherapy during a retreatment phase, up to Week 120.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of treatment using a combination of drugs (entecavir and pegylated interferon) in children ages 3-<18 years old with immunotolerant chronic hepatitis B.

With the availability of potent nucloes(t)ide analogues (NA), such as tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and entecavir (ETV), suppression of serum HBV DNA to undetectable levels by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays became achievable in most NA treatment-naïve patients. Until recently, however, many patients commenced antiviral treatment with inferior NAs prior to the availability of TDF or ETV, such as lamivudine (LAM) or adefovir (ADV) which has a low genetic barrier to resistance. For patients who developed genotypic resistance against ADV, the efficacy of TDF monotherapy is controversial. In recent studies, TDF monotherapy produced significant suppression of HBV replication. However, only half of patients with initial ADV resistance achieved an undetectable viral load (<15 IU/ml) with 48 weeks of therapy. On the other hand, there was a retrospective cohort study reporting that, with the combination of TDF and ETV, most of patients became HBV DNA undetectable after median 6 months of treatment. Probability of reaching complete HBV DNA suppression was not decreased in patients with ADV or ETV resistance. Together, these observations indicate that there is a controversy about the efficacy of TDF monotherapy in patients with genotypic resistance to ADV. Thus, in this clinical trial, the investigators will clarify whether tenofovir monotherapy is effective in inducing complete virologic response compared with tenofovir plus entecavir in CHB patients with genotypic resistance to ADV and partial virologic response to ongoing treatment.

This Phase 1 trial will assess the dose-related safety and PK profile of different doses of NVR 3-778, first in healthy volunteer subjects (part I) and subsequently in patients with chronic hepatitis B (part II). Additionally, in Part II, changes in patients' serum HBV DNA levels and other virologic efficacy parameters will be assessed.
