Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis"

Primary Aims: Evaluate HBV (Hepatitis B Virus) infection prevalence among Druze in the Galilee. Educate the population in order to reduce transmission Increase awareness among primary care providers Secondary Aims: Identify chronic HBV infected patients who need to be followed and treated, Identify HBV infected women in a childbearing age Identify non immunized individuals and recommend vaccination Identify previously vaccinated individuals who are not immunized Identify previously vaccinated individuals who became infected Study Design: Study population is targeted to native Israeli Druze. We aim for evaluating up to 20,000 people from Druze communities in the Galilee area This work will be divided into three sections: Increasing awareness: lectures and local events will be taken place in the communities. Written information will be given and primary care-providers mainly family doctors, nurses and obstetric surgeons will be involved. All participants, upon signing a consent will: Fill up a questioner Checked for weight, height and waist circumflex Have a blood sample taken Results and recommendations will be forwarded to all participants

The purpose of this clinical research study is to provide entecavir to subjects with chronic Hepatitis B infection who have failed or who have demonstrated intolerance of marketed therapies or for those in whom use of these agents is contraindicated and that have no other available treatment options.

The primary objective of this program is to provide Daclatasvir in combination with Sofosbuvir with or without Ribavirin to subjects with chronic Hepatitis C who are at a high risk of liver decompensation or death within 12 months if left untreated and who have no available therapeutic options.

This is a single arm, open-label study which will be opened at specific clinical sites at the request of an investigator for the treatment of individual subjects for whom there are no other treatment options. Subjects will be treated for 24 weeks with sofosbuvir (400mg QD) with RBV; pegylated interferon may be added at the discretion of the investigator.

Viral hepatitis is a global health problem affecting hundred millions of people worldwide and considered the main cause of liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver transplantation in developing countries.

This project is a prospective observational cohort study to quantify the risk of acquiring Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection for patients and healthcare workers in Ain Shams University Teaching Hospital, Cairo, Egypt through: 1) identifying typical patient trajectories within the hospital; and 2) assessing the ward-specific risk based on the type and number of procedures performed and the prevalence of HCV viremia in patients within each ward.

The study will explore the characteristics in clinical pharmacokinetics of gefitinib, erlotinib,afatinib,osimertinib, crizotinib, apatinib, icotinib in Chinese patients of Non-small-cell lung cancer and hepatitis B. The study is self-controlled. The plasma concentration of tyrosine kinase inhibitors will be analyzed before and after system treatment of HBV.

The objective of this study is to carry out a Micro-elimination program for HCV infection in a vulnerable population (people sentenced to non-custodial sentences). This group shares certain peculiarities with the prison population (vulnerability, addictions, mental disorders, etc.), is three times higher than the imprisoned population, and is regularly attended by Social Insertion Centers (CIS) in Spain. An additional objective is to link these people with the specific plans of the Government of Cantabria (Chronicity Plan, Care for Serious Mental Disorders, Harm Reduction Programs and the Center for Attention to Drug Addicts) as well as the Extended Bridge Program for Penitentiary Institutions, implementing the figure of a Navigator (a specialized professional in charge of helping subjects overcome barriers). It is an observational study based on the screening of disease in accordance with the recommendations of the health authorities. Once detected, patients will be referred to the corresponding specialized care following the usual clinical practice.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease. The World Health Organization has reported that 170 million people are chronically infected with HCV globally. The highest prevalence of HCV infection worldwide exists in Egypt (15%); 90% of infection among Egyptian patients is due to genotype 4

This study is a two-way, non-interventional long-term dynamic follow-up clinical observational cohort study. In the Second Division of Liver Diseases, Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University, chronic hepatitis C patients who were treated with interferon combined with ribavirin (PR) antiviral therapy (PR treatment for 6 months or more) and / or direct acting antivirals (DAAs ), and the baseline, antiviral treatment and discontinuation follow-up data of patients before antiviral treatment were collected, and follow-up observations of patients were carried out for every 3-6 months. The clinical data such as clinical biochemistry, HCV RNA and serological indicators (anti-HCV), AFP, and liver imaging (liver ultrasound) were collected during the study period. The virological response and clinical outcomes of chronic hepatitis C antiviral therapy were observed for at least 144 weeks. The incidence of liver cancer and decompensated liver cirrhosis after discontinuation of the drug was the main evaluation index. The aim is to explore long-term virological response and clinical outcomes, and elucidate its influencing factors.
