Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis"

In this study we will prospectively stop NA in both Caucasian and non-Caucasian patients matched for gender and age, to validate the observed host and viral parameters for future roll-out of this treatment strategy.

The Transplanting Hepatitis C Kidneys into Negative KidnEy Recipients [THINKER-NEXT] study will include adult kidney transplant candidates without hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection on the transplant waiting list who will consent to kidney transplantation from a deceased donor infected with HCV, followed by treatment with a direct acting antiviral. The one-year allograft function and one-year risk of CMV infection will be compared between THINKER-NEXT kidney transplant recipients and matched recipients who received hepatitis C uninfected kidney transplants (these patients are called Transplant Cohort). The mortality rate of kidney transplant candidates who enroll in THINKER-NEXT and consent to offers of kidneys from HCV-infected donors will be compared to matched wait-listed patients who do not consent to receive HCV-infected kidneys (these patients are called Wait-list Cohort). Lastly, renal pathologic findings will be compared among HCV-viremic donors and HCV-negative comparator donors.

The study is to guide clinical cure of peginterferon alfa-2a treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis B based on the detection of interferon gene mutation (IFNA2p.Ala120Thr) and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) detection gene spectrum.

This is an open-label, multicenter, randomized, active control study, comparing P1101 monotherapy to entecavir monotherapy in patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B under long-term nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy.

Recent data have suggested that monocyte oxidative burst defect is associated with the development of infection in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis. One report found reduced 28 day mortality in patients treated with N-acetylcysteine combined with prednisolone when compared to prednisolone alone. The current study seeks to reveal whether the mechanism by which NAC reduces susceptibility to infection is through improvement of phagocyte oxidative burst.

To investigate and compare the possible response of Panadol® and SafeTynadol® formulations in healthy volunteers and the safety in SafeTynadol® dose-limiting hepatotoxicity.

This study is conducted to assess the safety and immunogenicity of GSK's HBsAg vaccine adjuvanted with GSK's AS37 adjuvant system in healthy, HBs naïve, adults aged 18-45 years and to differentiate GSK's AS37 adjuvant system from other approved adjuvant systems and from an aluminum-based adjuvant.

Men who have sex with men (MSM) who cured from hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are at substantial risk of HCV reinfection. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the effectiveness of an online behavioural intervention, a home-based testing intervention and a combination of both on risk behaviour, and ultimately preventing HCV reinfection and onward spread of HCV.

The primary aim of this open-label, randomized control trial is to compare the immunogenicity at week 28 after 20µg HBV vaccine (at week 0, 4, 24) versus 40µg HBV vaccine (40-µg at week 0, 4, 24 week) among HIV-positive patients or HIV-negative MSM who were born in Taiwan after July 1986 and tested negative for all HBV serological markers. The secondary aims are to assess the safety of double-dose HBV vaccination, the proportions of high-level responders (anti-HBs antibody >100 mIU/ml) at weeks 28 and 48, the serological responses at week 48, and incident HBV infection (indicated by appearance of anti-HBc and/or HBsAg) at week 48.

The Ministry of Health has set the target of eradicating hepatitis C (HCV) in France by 2025. The goal is to validate the feasibility and value of conducting routine HCV screening in hospitalized patients.
