Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B"

Multicenter, Open-label, Single arm Trial with Matched Historical controls. Male and female adults with compensated liver cirrhosis due to chronic hepatitis B virus infection who have low-level viremia. To assess the efficacy of Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF) in reducing liver-related events (hepatocellular carcinoma, liver-related events and death, decompensated liver cirrhosis) in cirrhotic chronic hepatitis B patients with low-level viremia compared with matched historical controls.

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) affects 257million individuals worldwide. In 2017, it caused around 39.7 million cases of cirrhosis and 0.4 million cirrhosis-related deaths in 2017. However, there is no specific treatment for liver fibrosis/cirrhosis. Although nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) profoundly suppress viral replication, fibrosis/cirrhosis progression can still occur in NA-treated patients. Sodium-glucose cotransporter type-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are antidiabetic drugs that may prevent fibrosis/cirrhosis progression by reducing hepatic steatosis/inflammation, dampening renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) activation, and reducing fluid retention, effects of which are independent of glycemic control. Clinical studies in diabetic patients show SGLT2 inhibitors reduce hepatis steatosis/inflammation, regress ascites (a cirrhotic complication), and improve liver function parameters and survival prognosis in terms of model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score. There are currently no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on role of SGLT2 inhibitors in preventing fibrosis/cirrhosis progression in CHB patients. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) and transient elastography (TE) are non-invasive techniques for liver stiffness measurement (LSM), although MRE is more accurate than TE. The investigators propose a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to compare effect of empagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor) with placebo (1:1 ratio) in preventing fibrosis progression in both diabetic and non-diabetic NA-treated CHB patients with significant/advanced fibrosis or compensated cirrhosis. 108 patients will be randomly sampled from our pre-existing TE database. Empagliflozin 10mg daily will be given to treatment arm. Placebo pills will be manufactured identical in appearance to empagliflozin. Subjects will receive active or placebo pills for three years, and undergo clinical, anthropometric and laboratory assessments (at baseline, weeks 8, 16, and every 4 months thereafter). They will undergo LSM by TE at baseline, end of first, second and third year, and by MRE at baseline and end of third year. Primary outcome is difference in change to liver stiffness (measured by MRE) from baseline between the two groups at the end of third year. The study results will determine whether SGLT2 inhibitors can prevent hepatic fibrosis/cirrhosis progression in NA-treated CHB patients.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single (Part A) and repeated dose (Part B) escalation, phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary pharmacodynamics (PD) of RBD1016 in subjects with chronic HBV infection.

This is a phase 2 study in which participants with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection will receive VIR-2218, VIR-3434 and/or PEG-IFNα and be assessed for safety, tolerability, and efficacy

This study aims to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis.

We will conduct a phase 4, multicenter, open-label trial at 7 academic centers in Taiwan. Chronic hepatitis B patients receiving oral antiviral therapy (entecavir [ETV], tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [TDF]) for at least 2 years, and fulfil the following nucleos(t)ide analogs discontinuation criteria. After nucleos(t)ide analogs discontinuation, patients had a clinical relapse and retreatment regimen switches to TAF. The protocol will be approved by Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Research ethic committee (REC) of each site and will be conducted in accordance with the principles of Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization for Good Clinical Practice. Each patient provides written informed consent before enrollment.

This study is a multicenter, open-label, phase II clinical study in subjects with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic profile and preliminary anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) efficacy of APG-1387 in combination with entecavir, and to determine the optimal dose of APG-1387 in combination with entecavir.

This is a phase three study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Pradefovir treatment in chronic hepatitis B patients. Subject will be randomized to Pradefovir group and TDF group at a ratio of 2:1. Treatment duration will be 96w in randomization and followed by 48w in open. The interim analysis will be conducted when all subject completed the first 48-week treatment.

This study evaluates the addition of Tenofovir and Entecavir in the treatment of Hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma after curative resection in adults. Half of participants will receive Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, while the other half will receive Entecavir.

This study is to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of three types of nucleotide/nucleoside analogues in treatment of hepatitis b virus related compensated cirrhosis.
