Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B"

Study is to Understand the pattern of hepatitis delta screening among medical providers for Asian patients with chronic hepatitis B Determine the proportion of Asian hepatitis B patients who have been screened and who have chronic hepatitis delta Determine the pattern of hepatitis delta screening after education of medical providers on hepatitis delta

Liver disease associated with persistent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains an important public health problem with significant morbidity and mortality. In spite of the existence of an effective vaccine, worldwide approximately 260 million people are chronic HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers and current treatment with interferon and/or nucleoside analogues (NA) is not able to achieve a complete cure. The key obstacle to HBV eradication is the persistence of HBV DNA in the nuclei of infected hepatocytes, either integrated into the host genome or as a covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) episomal form. While HBV integration is rare and its clinical implications still require investigation, cccDNA plays an essential role in the long-term persistence of HBV infection and can often be detected even following NA therapy and HBsAg seroconversion. Since quantification of cccDNA in infected hepatocytes requires invasive liver biopsy, more accessible tissues, such as serum or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) have been investigated in different patient populations.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in viremic chronic hepatitis B subjects, assessing the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity of 28 Days treatment with EDP-514.

This is a multi centre, two parallel arm, randomized, open-label, Phase 2a experimental study of oral Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) modulator EYP001a to assess its safety and anti-viral effect when administered to non-treated (treatment naive or off treatment) chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) patients in combination with entecavir (ETV) and pegylated interferon alpha2a (peg-IFN). An experimental treatment period of 16 weeks will be followed by a 24 week maintenance period with ETV standard of care (SoC).

Osteoporosis is a condition that describes compromised skeletal microarchitecture in general, with clinical signs of decreased bone mineral density. Patients with hepatitis b virus infection are at increased risk for developing osteoporosis. Identifying whether patients with hepatitis b virus infection have information and awareness about this disease is crucial. This study is aimed to investigate awareness and knowledge of osteoporosis in patients with hepatitis b virus infection.

During the Covid-19 pandemic era, patients indicated that they find a model of care incorporating remote consultations to be acceptable [1-3]. Remote accessibility to care can be enhanced by using new technology to allow small volume testing for routine blood samples. This study aims to prospectively validate the use of small volume blood sampling for routine HIV-1 and Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) viral load (VL), liver function tests (LFTs) and creatinine, and assess the acceptability of this method of blood sampling to people living with HIV (PLWH). These tests form the usual minimum required for safe monitoring on a routine basis to determine viral activity, liver and renal function in patients either on or off antiviral therapy. The UK based Doctors Laboratory TINIES small volume blood testing kits comprise microcontainers manufactured by BD Diagnostics designed for sample collection from skin puncture, along with home testing pack with lancets, instructions and Royal Mail postal packs. We will collect TINIES samples alongside routine venepuncture samples in people attending their routine clinic follow ups. We will then send kits to different participants to collect samples in their own home, along with a follow up questionnaire (written/online). Finally, we will conduct a more in-depth telephone interview for a subset of patients to qualitatively assess acceptability. Routine use of this method of testing could revolutionise care of people living with chronic blood borne viruses, for example HIV and chronic HBV. TINIES could enable remote monitoring, increasing ease of access to care, reducing clinic appointment burden in otherwise healthy individuals, and reduce labour costs in the NHS, for example, by reducing phlebotomy appointments.

This study will be conducted in three parts: Part A: A prospective open label pilot intervention study, comparing the proportion of people with hepatitis B who are managed by their GP in primary care settings before, 12 months and 24 months after implementation of the Simply B electronic hepatitis B support package. Part B: A nested qualitative health services feasibility study using semi -structured interviews and thematic analysis

This is a phase IV, open label, historical controlled comparative study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ricovir® in maintaining durability of viral response in CHB patients who have been treated with Viread® and have undetectable HBV DNA in serum by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay.

This phase Ib study included two parts in which Part I was to evaluate the safety and bridge for PK among healthy Chinese subjects and Part II were about study among Chinese chronic hepatitis B virus-infected patients. Study of Part II was carried out following the safety assessment and racial difference evaluation in Part I.

A single center, randomized controlled trial design was used to select patients with chronic hepatitis B in the immune control period (HBsAg positive, HBeAg negative, normal ALT, HBsAg ≤ 1500iu/ml, HBV DNA ≤ 2000iu/ml) to enter the study, and to compare the feasibility, effectiveness and safety of pegylate combined with Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor, high-dose hepatitis B vaccine and pegylate monotherapy in the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B in the immune control period
