Hepatitis B Clinical Trials

This is a study for an investigational vaccine for Hepatitis B.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of fixed-dose combination (FDC) of bictegravir/emtricitabine/ tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) versus dolutegravir (DTG) + emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (F/TDF) in HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) treatment naive, HIV-1 and HBV co-infected adults.  

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and C (HCV) are the leading causes of liver disease worldwide. Approximately 400 million people worldwide are chronically infected with HBV world wide and it is estimated that 3% of the entire world population is infected with HCV and yet there is still no vaccine available. ...

Intervention: Serological markers of HBV will be assessed prospectively in consecutive non-cirrhotic liver disease or cirrhotic patients. Seronegative patients willing to participate will sign a written informed consent and will receive four doses of 20 g Fendrix at 0,1, 2 and 6 months. Antibodies against HBV superficial antigen (anti-HBs) will ...

Individuals who test positive for anti-HCV IgG antibody, but who have negative blood HCV RNA PCR are generally considered to have been infected with HCV but to have cleared the the virus spontaneously. However, due to the general conservative approach of living donor kidney transplant programs, these individuals are not ...

There has been no report on whether the patients with colorectal cancer who are also inactive Hepatitis B Carriers should receive Prophylactic Use or preemptive Use of an Anti-viral Drug Entecavir. This open, randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the impact of the prophylactic use or preemptive use of ...

The intervention will entail completing a volitional help sheet.This will create implementation intentions, which are self-regulatory strategies taking the form of "if-then" plans (i.e. situation-solution plan). Injecting risk behaviour scores and self-efficacy scores will be analysed for differences between intervention and control groups. To control for contact-time with the researchers, ...

Epclusa is a pan-genotypic, once-daily tablet for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection containing the NS5B- polymerase inhibitor sofosbuvir (SOF, nucleotide analogue) 400 mg and the NS5A inhibitor velpatasvir (VEL) 100 mg. For patients with swallowing difficulties, administration of whole tablets can be problematic. In addition, HCV ...

In order to optimize HBsAg clearance in CHB patients with low level HBsAg, the investigators enrolled patients who had received, and responded to, NAs for more than 12 months(see the inclusion criteria), and patients are switched to receive peginterferon alfa-2a 180 micrograms/week or peginterferon alfa-2b 80 micrograms/week. The longest course ...

Enrollment Visit: If you agree to take part in this study, the following tests and procedures will be performed at an enrollment visit: Blood (about 1 tablespoon) will be drawn to test for hepatitis B, C, and HIV. However, if you are scheduled for a blood draw in the next ...
