Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B"

The purpose of this clinical research study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of entecavir, as compared to lamivudine, in the treatment of adults with chronic hepatitis B infection who are hepatitis B e antigen negative.

This is a phase IIIb comparative study of entecavir 1.0 mg once daily (QD) vs. adefovir 10 mg QD in patients who have chronic hepatitis B infection and hepatic decompensation. The patients are treated for 96 weeks after the last subject is randomized.

This study is being conducted to compare the safety and effectiveness of the investigational medication, LdT (Telbivudine) with Lamivudine, a drug currently approved by the US, European and Asian Health Authorities for the treatment of hepatitis B infection. The results for patients taking LdT will be compared to results for patients taking Lamivudine.

CF patients are at risk for hepatic disease. Vaccination is recommended to all CF patients according to European consensus. The aim of the study is to vaccinate as many patients as possible and to follow up whether immunization has been complete.

Patients who have completed 3 years follow-up of the past Beijing Science and Technology Commission Research will receive another 7-years anti-viral therapy. Patients will be assessed at baseline and every six months for blood cell count, liver function test, HBVDNA, AFP, prothrombin time, liver ultrasonography, and Fibroscan. CT or MRI and endoscopy will be performed at baseline and 7 years. At the end of the study, the cumulative rate of clinical hepatic hard endpoint will be calculated.

This is a multi-center, single-arm, open-label study on the virological response of chronic HBV infection to pegyinterferon-alfa-2a among patients who achieved HBeAg seroconversion on nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) treatment. The primary endpoint of this study is to investigate the sustained response (HBeAg seroconversion with HBV DNA <2000 IU/ml) to peginterferon at 24 weeks after the end of treatment.

This study will evaluate immune responses in patients with HBeAg-negative chronic Hepatitis B treated with Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a). Eligible patients will have been randomized in study ML18253 to receive Pegasys 180 mcg subcutaneously for 48 or 96 weeks. Sample collection period for each patients will occur in the first 24 weeks.

To describe liver enzyme elevations in patients who are coinfected with HIV and either Hepatitis C (HCV) and/or Hepatitis B (HBV) receiving maraviroc or placebo in combination with their current suppressive anti-HIV drug therapy.

The purpose of this trial is to provide data of absence of inflammation in patient liver histology after long-term telbivudine treatment and thus help investigators to make a comprehensive judgment on treatment discontinuation in selected patients

A single-center, open-Label, randomized, single-dose, two-period, two-sequence, crossover study to assess the bioequivalence of test formulation entecavir tablets 1.0 mg with reference formulation entecavir tablets (Baraclude®) 1.0 mg in healthy adult subjects under fasting conditions.
