Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis"

Curing HCV in Incarcerated Patients (CHIP) is a 1-year demonstration project that will assess the feasibility of a HCV treatment program in the San Francisco City & County Jail. The Jail Health Services will treat 100 patients using the FDA approved combination treatment, sofosbuvir/velpatasvir, Epclusa® and will continue their treatment during incarceration and after their release (if applicable).

This study evaluates whether addition of Peginterferon alfa-2a to CHB Patients Treated with nucleoside analogues (NAs) can enhance the rate of HBsAg clearance at end of treatment. This study is a Randomized, open-label, multi-center study. The CHB patients with NAs treatment and have achieved HBV DNA <15 IU/ml、HBeAg <100 PEIU/ml、HBsAg positive and HBsAg<1500 IU/ml will be randomized into 2 groups: Group 1 (Combination group): Maintain NAs treatment while add 48-week standard treatment by Peginterferon alfa 2a 180µg/week Group 2 (Mono NA group) : Maintain NAs treatment for 49 weeks. Note: NAs including: LAM, ADV, ETV, or TDF.

The purpose of this study is to test an intervention designed to train persons who inject drugs (PWID) and are infected with hepatitis C (HCV) and HIV in communication skills to 1) promote new HCV treatment and care 2) risk reduction and 3) recruit their social network members for HIV and HCV testing and linkage to care.

This quality improvement project utilizes Epic Health Planet to increase screening for chronic hepatitis B through the creation of registries and ordering of hepatitis B laboratory panels.

Asian and Pacific Islander Americans at risk, but never tested for chronic hepatitis B have been randomized to receive an electronic alert in their electronic medical chart to remind primary care physicians to screen them for chronic hepatitis B.

The purpose of this trial is to describe the Seroprotection Rate (SPR) at least 2 years following completion of a primary series with a hepatitis B vaccine (Base Study V232-059, NCT00440531) and 1 month following a challenge dose with a Modified Process Hepatitis B vaccine.

The primary purpose of this study was to assess whether the protection afforded by Epaxal vaccine co-administered with diphtheria, tetanus, Bordetella pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and inactivated polio vaccine(DTPaHibIPV), oral polio vaccine (OPV) and (measles mumps and rubella) MMR vaccines against hepatitis A was not inferior to the protection afforded by Epaxal administered alone. The aim of the follow-up phase is to obtain information on the long term protection afforded by Epaxal, and to compare this with an alternative hepatitis A vaccine (Havrix).

The relevance of this research to public health is to make it possible to test for hepatitis C and syphilis at point of care so that people will receive their results immediately instead of requiring people to wait for at least a week to get their test results. This research will make rapid tests for HIV available that can detect HIV infection earlier and are more accurate than current tests available in the United States.

The primary purpose of the original study was to assess whether the protection afforded by the paediatric dose of Epaxal vaccine against hepatitis A was not inferior to the protection afforded by the standard dose of Epaxal. The aim of the follow-up phase was to perform a computer based modelling analysis of the long term protection afforded by the paediatric dose, and to compare this with the standard dose and also with an alternative hepatitis A vaccine (Havrix Junior).

This is a study to show that vaccination with 1 dose of Tritanrix HB+Hib followed by Quinvaxem vaccine as the 2nd and 3rd dose is not inferior to vaccination with Quinvaxem for all 3 doses, with respect to protection against all antibodies (anti-hepatitis B surface antibodies, anti-polyribosyl ribitol phosphate (PRP), anti-diphtheria, anti-tetanus and anti-Bordetella pertussis) 1 month after completion of the 6-10-14 week vaccination course.
