NCT05042544
The National Australian HCV Point-of-Care Testing Program will establish an observational cohort to evaluate whether scale-up of finger-stick point-of-care HCV testing increases diagnosis and treatment for HCV infection. Participants will be recruited from settings providing services to people with a risk factor for the acquisition of HCV infection (including drug treatment clinics, needle and syringe programs, homelessness settings, mental health services, prisons, and mobile outreach). Participants will attend a single visit to have their HCV RNA status tested and complete a self-administered survey. Participants will not receive treatment as a part of this study. Participants who are HCV RNA positive will be linked to standard of care.
NCT06457438
In this study, the researchers want to focus on the prevalence of anti-HEV antibodies by a new generation test, direct detection of HEV RNA, and its genotypic analysis in a group of human tissue and cell donors.

NCT01340573
This is a non-interventional study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination study drugs in the treatment of participants diagnosed with Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC). CHC participants with confirmed positive hepatitis-C virus (HCV) RNA in plasma, and who have not been previously treated with the Pegylated interferon (PegIntron) Pen, were enrolled into study.
NCT06452693
This study is divided into two parts. Phase Ib is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic characteristics, preliminary efficacy, and immunogenicity of TQA3038 injection in patients with chronic hepatitis B. It is expected to include 72 subjects. Phase IIa adopted an open-label, randomized, parallel-controlled design, with a total of 90 subjects included, mainly evaluating the changes in serum HBsAg compared to baseline at the end of the 48th week.
NCT04031729
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), defined by fatty infiltration of the liver in the absence of excess alcohol consumption, affects an estimated 30% of adults in the United States. A proportion of people with NAFLD will develop progressive, inflammatory nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can progress to liver cirrhosis and liver failure. NAFLD is expected to be the most common indication for liver transplantation by the year 2020. We hypothesize that among adults with NAFLD, aspirin will reduce intrahepatic lipid content, as quantified by 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS).
NCT05953545
Background: Chronic hepatitis D is a serious liver disease caused by a virus. Currently, no medications are approved to treat chronic hepatitis D. Objective: To test a combination of 3 drugs in people with chronic hepatitis D. Eligibility: People 18 years or older with chronic hepatitis D. Design: Participants will be in the study about 2 years. They will have 3 inpatient stays of 3 to 5 days. Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have a test of their heart function and an ultrasound: a wand that uses sound waves to create images of the liver will be rubbed over the skin on their torso. Participants will stay in the clinic for a 3-day baseline visit. They will have imaging scans, an eye exam, and a visit with a reproductive specialist. They will have a liver biopsy: about 1 inch of liver tissue will be removed, either with a tube inserted through a vein in the neck, or with a needle inserted through the participant s side. Participants will take the study drugs for 48 weeks. Two of them are tablets taken twice a day at home; 1 is a shot administered once a week. Participants will begin taking the drugs during a 5-day stay in the clinic. Then they will have 15 outpatient visits while taking the drugs and 7 more after they finish. The last 3-day clinic stay will be 6 months after participants finish taking the drugs. The liver biopsy, imaging scans, and other tests will be repeated.
NCT04676724
This study is intended to evaluate if 12 or 24 weeks of treatment with GSK3228836 followed by up to 24 weeks of pegylated interferon (PegIFN) can increase the rate of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) loss in participants on stable nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) therapy, and whether virologic response can be sustained once PegIFN treatment is discontinued. Participants will be randomized to receive GSK3228836 for 12 or 24 weeks followed by up to 24 weeks of PegIFN.
NCT06313255
The goal of this retrospective observational study is to find out the effects of probiotics on HBV clearance. The main question it aims to answer is: Are the probiotics have an effect in promoting HBV clearance? The participants will observe the HBV clearance rate in chronic hepatitis B patients receive probiotics in addition to the routine antiviral therapy. Researchers will compare the HBV clearance rate in chronic hepatitis B patients receive probiotics and antiviral therapy with those receiving solely antiviral therapy.
NCT03627546
The purpose of this randomized study is to determine whether a community-based test and treat model of hepatitis C (HCV) care delivery will be superior to the usual care practice of referral to specialist clinics for the outcomes of sustained virologic response at 12 weeks after treatment and initiation of HCV treatment for persons who inject drugs (PWID) between ages 18 and 29 who are naïve to HCV treatment
NCT02902120
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients treated for chronic hepatitis C (HCV) with zepatier (grazoprevir/elbasvir) prior to kidney transplant will have a stronger immune response compared to patients treated after kidney transplant. 25 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and HCV will be treated with zepatier and 25 kidney transplant recipients with chronic kidney disease will be treated with zepatier. Blood markers of immune function will be monitored in both groups to determine their response to therapy.
NCT06373198
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This infection continues to represent a major global public health concern. This is why the introduction of potent antivirals for the treatment of HCV has been one of the major breakthroughs of the current medical era. From a public health perspective, HCV prevalence will be eliminated if the available treatment also targets those most likely to transmit the virus. Despite this scientific advance, a systematic review from the U.S. described that of the 43% of patients aware of their HCV diagnosis, only 16% started treatment. Clearly, the long-known barriers to accessing this treatment must be broken down in order to administer these effective antivirals. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set the ambitious goal of eliminating viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030. This goal is really difficult to achieve, especially in low and middle-income countries. Particularly in Argentina, there is a need to improve diagnosis, access to care, and treatment of viral hepatitis. The prospect of viral hepatitis elimination in our country is daunting due to the complexity of the health system and the cost of implementing different strategies. The most pragmatic approach would be to break down national elimination targets into smaller targets for individual populations, for which treatment and prevention interventions can be delivered more quickly and efficiently. This concept is known as micro-elimination. Focusing on micro-elimination of viral hepatitis means working to achieve the WHO target in specific subpopulations. Subpopulations known to have a higher prevalence of HCV infection include prisoners, people who inject drugs, and patients requiring hemodialysis, among others. Currently, patient unawareness of HCV infection represents one of the major barriers to treatment. In many cases, the diagnosis of HCV was established many years ago and patients do not seek treatment probably because they do not recognize the urgency of treating this asymptomatic infection. It is our goal, then, to identify the group of individuals who have been diagnosed with HCV infection but are not currently undergoing regular visits with health care professionals. This strategy is now called re-linking to the medical care of patients with chronic HCV.
NCT05851261

NCT06368882
This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, non-randomized controlled real-world study to explore the efficacy and safety and to accumulate more evidence-based medical data of an antiviral treatment programme for chronic viral hepatitis B with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. A total of 1500 patients with chronic hepatitis B complicated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease are divided into test group (1000 patients receiving PEG-IFNα-based antiviral therapy (combined NAs or Peg-IFNα monotherapy) and control group（500 patients receiving NAs monotherapy） according to their treatment intention. Laboratory and medical data from specified follow-up points are collected, and adverse events and drug combinations are recorded detailly. The primary efficacy indicator is HBsAg clearance at 48 weeks of treatment, and the secondary indicators included: (1) HBsAg clearance at 96 weeks of treatment, (2) Cumulative HBsAg clearance at week 24、120、144、168、192、216 and 240; (3) The improvement of liver function level(ALT, AST, TBIL, etc.), blood lipid (TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, etc.), fasting blood glucose, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), controlled attenuation parameter, body mass index , liver stiffness measurement, liver histological fibrosis, FIB-4 index from baseline; (4)Incidence of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma during follow-up. The security assessment includes adverse events, vital signs, and imaging.
NCT04171765
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of BFKB8488A compared to placebo in participants with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
NCT06360484
Background: Sudan has a high prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), exceeding 8%. The prevalence of hepatitis B varies across different regions of Sudan, ranging from 6.8% in central Sudan to as high as 26% in southern Sudan. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can lead to various complications, including cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hepatitis D virus (HDV) relies on HBV for replication and can accelerate the progression of HBV-related liver diseases, leading to more severe outcomes. This study aims to determine the prevalence of HDV infection among Sudanese patients with HBV-related liver diseases and to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with HBV/HDV co-infection. Design/Method: This descriptive cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted at Ibn Sina Specialized Hospital in Sudan between June and September 2022. Ninety HBV patients aged 16 years and above were included. Patients were interviewed using a structured questionnaire, and medical histories and examinations were recorded. Investigations included liver function tests, abdominal ultrasounds, and ELISA for Ant-HDV-IgG
NCT06358196
Alcohol-associated hepatitis is a clinical syndrome distinct from steatohepatitis or liver cirrhosis. It is associated with high mortality and characterized by an absence of effective treatment, while corticosteroids, which are currently used as the first-line treatment are effective only in a subpopulation of patients and only on 28-days survival - their effect on survival does not last beyond this interval. The proposed study is a complex exploratory study of alcohol-associated hepatitis with several epidemiology- and prognosis-related aims.
NCT06349902
This is an observational, retrospective \& prospective cohort study. The retrospective element of the study is a chart review to identify people with diagnosed but untreated HCV and re-link them to care. The observational prospective cohort element of the study will examine the HCV linkage to care, treatment initiation, treatment completion \& cure rates of these HCV clients achieved through this chart review and re-linking approach.
NCT05903742
Rationale: Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a defective RNA virus that requires presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) to complete virion assembly and secretion. HBV-HDV coinfection ("hepatitis delta") has been associated with severe liver injury that may result in rapid progression to cirrhosis and hepatic decompensation, as well as a higher risk of liver cancer when compared to patients with HBV mono-infection. Given the low incidence of hepatitis D, experience in caring for individuals with hepatitis delta is limited and management practices vary. Objective: Generate prospective follow-up data to increase our understanding of this rare disease. Study design: Prospective observational cohort study spanning 5 years, during which we will collect standard clinical data as well as blood samples and quality of life questionnaires. Study population: hepatitis delta patients aged ≥18 years Intervention (if applicable): not applicable Main study parameters/endpoints: Incidence of liver related events (liver cancer, (decompensation of) cirrhosis, liver transplantation) during follow-up and changes in markers of viral replication, inflammatory activity and liver stiffness over time. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The risks associated with participation can be considered negligible and the burden can be considered minimal. The only additional action that the participants must perform are the filling out of two annual quality of life questionnaires, which are considered non-invasive, and collection of 10 ml blood during regular blood sample collections
