Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis"

An open-label,prospective, randomized pilot study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of paeoniflorin, for the treatment of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) with mild necroinflammatory activity on liver biopsy.

This phase IV clinical study was designed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Hecolin® in the chronic Hepatitis B patients on the clinical stability.

Intramuscular injection of 40 μg hepatitis B vaccine in a standard three-dose schedule or a four-dose schedule is recommended for hemodialysis patients. However, seroconversion rates are inadequate and persistence of immunity remains a challenge. This is a randomized, controlled trial. The study will evaluate the immunogenicity, immune persistence, and safety of 20 µg and 60 µg recombinant hepatitis B vaccine with three injections at months 0, 1, and 6 in hemodialysis patients.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an enveloped, single strand, positive sense RNA flavivirus. Infection by HCV is typically chronic, although an estimated ~10-20% may spontaneously clear the virus. HCV affects between 1.3 - 2 billion individuals, or 2-3% of the global population. HCV has a seroprevalence of approximately 1% in developed countries such as the US and Korea. Chronic HCV infection leads to hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis. This Phase I study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of GLS-6150 administered intradermally (ID) followed by electroporation at 1.0 mg and 2.0 mg/dose assessing 3 and 4-dose regimens.

Protectivity and Safety Following Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccine with different source of Hepatitis B bulk compared to Hepatitis B (Bio Farma) vaccine in Indonesian Population

Though HAV is mainly transmitted through the fecal-oral route, infection by sexual intercourse and blood transfusion is also possible. Injection drug users (IDUs) and men who have sex with men (MSM) have a higher risk of acquiring HAV due to their behaviors. Reemerging threat of hepatitis A among MSM in Taiwan has been reported recently. Based on the guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), Taiwan, vaccination of individuals against HAV with any of the following indications is recommended: HIV patients, adults with chronic hepatic disease, hemophilia, liver transplantation, occupational exposure, MSM, persons who use injection or noninjection illicit drugs, or persons traveling to or working in countries that have endemicity of HAV. In HIV-infected patients, the immunogenicity to HAV vaccination is sub-optimal in HIV-infected patients and the seroconversion rate is estimated 68-90% after administration of 2 or 3 doses of HAV vaccine. Furthermore, the antibody titers of HIV-infected patients following HAV vaccination are significantly lower compared to those of HIV-uninfected persons. The sub-optimal response among HIV-infected subjects remains an unresolved problem. In this study, the investigators aim to determine the to conduct a randomized clinical trial to compare the immunogenicity of 2 different doses of HAV vaccination (1 dose versus 2 doses) in HIV-infected patients who failed to achieve serologic response in the primary vaccination. This proposal will provide the solid evidence to elucidate the role of booster HAV vaccination in HIV-infected patients without response to primary HAV vaccination.

The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of hepatitis E virus vaccine given in women of child bearing age in preventing HEV disease during pregnancy among women in rural Bangladesh.

The purpose of this multicenter, single-arm, combination-drug study, which includes 12 weeks of treatment and 24 weeks of follow-up, is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir in Japanese adults infected with HCV GT1b, who are treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced to an IFN-based regimen and who have ESRD on HD.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of different hepatitis B vaccination regimens in HIV-infected adults with low CD4 cell count in northern Thailand.

This is a follow up study from the published article entitled "Comparison of immunogenicity and safety of four doses and four double doses vs. standard doses of hepatitis B vaccination in HIV-infected adults: a randomized, controlled trial" by Chaiklang K, Wipasa J, Chaiwarith R, Praparattanapan J, Supparatpinyo K. that was published in PLoS One. 2013 Nov 12;8(11):e80409. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0080409. eCollection 2013. ClinicalTrials.gov; NCT1289106. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the HBV vaccination regimens using either four standard doses or four double doses compared with the current standard regimen of three doses in HIV-infected adults in northern Thailand. In addition, the investigators evaluated the efficacy of the HBV vaccination with the current standard regimen of three doses between healthy adults and HIV-infected patients.
