Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis, Chronic"

Define the patients who lost HBsAg, studying the loss predictive factors and if there was suspension of treatment, study the evolution after that

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between drug response and the host genetic factors, viral factors and clinical factors in chronic hepatitis C patients (HCV). And thus, the investigators are trying to develop the pharmacogenomic guideline in the Korean patients with HCV.

This study has the aim of describing viral mutation profiles in patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B receiving antihepadnaviral therapy.

Serum HBV DNA is a referent but insufficient marker of therapeutic follow-up in chronic hepatitis B treatment. Intra hepatic cccDNA disappearance reflects HBV eradication in the liver. Intra lymphocyte cccDNA could be a new marker of HBV eradication after treatment. The major interest of this marker is that it can be measured by a simple blood test instead of a liver biopsy.

The Major goals of this project was to assess the natural history of disease in chronic hepatitis C patients with normal ALT and to determine the virologic and host factors associated with disease severity.

This is a multi-center, open-label clinical study. This study was aimed to assess the real-world effectiveness and safety of treatment with listed DAAs in patients with CHC and cirrhosis in Southern area of China.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a global health problem, which may lead to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recently, treatment with peginterferon alfa plus ribavirin has become the standard of care for patients with chronic hepatitis C. While genotype 2 patients can have higher sustained virologic response (SVR) rates to 80-90%, genotype 1 patients generally have low SVR rates of only 40-50%. In contrast, genotype 1 Taiwanese patients have superior SVR rates than those in Western countries. Despite the overall improved response to this combination therapy, more than 75% of patients suffer from treatment-related adverse events and the costs remain high, which make individualized therapy of paramount importance to maximize treatment response and minimize adverse events. HCV viral kinetics with interferon-based therapies have been studied recently to evaluate patient responses. Early viral kinetics shown to have favorable SVR rates, which make shorter treatment duration possible. However, different viral kinetics were found through ethnicity. Recently, a pilot study to evaluate the viral kinetics of 6 Taiwanese patients with HCV infection who received peginterferon alfa plus ribavirin therapy has shown superior early viral kinetics to those in Caucasian patients. Based on the favorable SVR rates in treating Taiwanese patients with chronic hepatitis C, the investigators aimed to conduct a large confirmatory study to evaluate the viral kinetics and try to define the optimal treatment for these patients.

China has the world's largest burden of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and will be a major contributor towards the global elimination of hepatitis B disease by 2030. One of the main issues in the management of patients with chronic HBV infection (CHB) is to maximize the individuals who need the treatment engaged and retained in care. However, our investigation revealed that 21.1% patients were treatment eligible but not treated based on Chinese 2019 CHB treatment guidelines, while only 213 (13.9%) patients were indicated-but-not-treated according to AASLD 2018 Hepatitis B guidance in a real-life cohort study. To maximize the individuals who need the treatment engaged and retained in care, integrated intervention strategies to address these treatment barriers are urgently needed. Therefore, we aim to propose a study to narrow the gap between in accordance with guidelines and consent to treat CHB population in EAST of China.

The primary objective of this study is to prospectively analyse psychiatric outcomes, specifically depression and anxiety in patients with hepatitis C virus infection who are initiated on DAA therapy (sofosbuvir based regimen).

To evaluate the efficacy, adverse effect, short - and long-term outcomes of Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (non-cirrhotic or compensatory cirrhosis)in China through a real-world study
