Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis"

To evaluate efficacy and safety of Ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir plus ribavirin based therapy for chronic hepatitis C with or without compensated cirrhosis in haemodialysis patients.

Entecavir(ETV) plus Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate(TDF) combination will show effective antiviral activity and prevent further development of antiviral resistance in hepatitis B e antigen(HBeAg)-positive or -negative Chronic Hepatitis B(CHB) patients who experienced multidrug resistance All subjects will orally take investigational drugs once daily for 48 weeks. All subjects will be assessed at baseline, Week 4, 12, 24, 36 and 48. Evaluations at each visit will include vital signs, physical examinations, laboratory tests and HBV DNA levels. They were also questioned about adverse events and concomitant medications. At baseline and every six months thereafter, serum will be assayed for HBV serology. Genotypic analysis will be performed at baseline and 48 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the administration of a poorly-absorbable antibiotic (rifaximin) for the first three months after liver transplant will reduce the amount of fibrosis (or scarring of the liver) in liver transplant patients with recurrent hepatitis C virus (HCV) by lowering serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a protein in blood that comes from the bacteria in intestines and may cause scarring in the liver. Approximately 60 subjects will participate in this study. Subjects will be part of the study for approximately 1 year post transplant.

In order to study the immunotherapeutic effects of electroporation (EP)-mediated dual-plasmids Hepatitis B Virus DNA vaccine, the investigators plan to conduct a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, approved by Chinese State Food and Drug Administration with written informed consent from each chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with baseline ALT more than 2 times the ULN, for whom antiviral treatment is indicated and who were under the simultaneous lamivudine (LAM) chemotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to to prove that the long-term efficacy of strategy of treatment adjustment at W24 according to virological response based on ROADMAP concept is better than standard of care strategy. To evaluate the off-treatment durability of HBeAg seroconversion in patients who discontinued treatment due to sustained HBeAg seroconversion and HBV DNA<300copies/ml with over 12 months consolidation treatment

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of 12 weeks of treatment with clevudine, at one of three doses, in patients chronically infected with hepatitis B virus.

The treatment of choice for chronic hepatitis D is uncertain. The investigators hypothesize that pegylated interferon (IFN) alfa-2b in combination with ribavirin (RBV) may be effective in the treatment of chronic hepatitis D patients who are also infected by hepatitis B virus (HBV). The purpose of this study is to test this hypothesis. The investigators will use pegylated IFN alfa-2b in combination with RBV for the treatment of patients with dual chronic hepatitis D virus (HDV) and HBV infection. A 24-week course of combination therapy pegylated IFN+RBV will be used.

This study evaluates whether Peg-IFN alfa-2a can reduce the recurrence rate of hepatitis B in 96 weeks after nucleoside analogue (NUC) withdrawal. The HBV HBeAg-Negative patients who received NUC anti-virus treatment for 2.5 years and reached stopping rule in 《Chinese chronic hepatitis B prevention and treatment guidelines》(2010) were randomly assigned into three groups: One group discontinue the NUC treatment and follow up for 96 weeks,One discontinue the NUC treatment ,receive Peg-IFN alfa-2a 180 μg by week for 24 weeks and follow up for 72 weeks,The other discontinue the NUC treatment ,receive Peg-IFN alfa-2a 180 μg by week for 48 weeks and follow up for 48 weeks.

The VISN1 VA Hepatitis C Testing and Linkage to Care Quality Improvement project aims to increase the proportion of Veterans tested for HCV in those born between 1945-1965 and in vulnerable, high-risk groups.

The aim of this study is to examine the result of seroprotection using the accelerated vaccination schedule in vaccination of hemodialysis patient through using combined hepatitis A and B vaccine.
