NCT05753280
In recent years, vitamin D (VD) has received much attention in the fields of host immune regulation, inflammation, fibrosis, cell proliferation and differentiation and tumor. VD works by binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR). VDR is mainly distributed in giant cells, dendritic cells, T cells and lymphocytes. Four SNPs of VDRS have been most studied: TaqI (rs731236), FokI (rs10735810), ApaI (rs7975232), and BsmI (rs1544410). At present, more and more patients have been treated with oral nucleotide/nucleoside analogues (NAs) with direct antiviral drugs in China, and a large part of them show low expression of HBsAg. Clinical cure can be pursued for these patients, that is, HBsAg turns negative. A number of studies have been carried out at home and abroad. In this study, We will recruit CHB patients with low HBsAg levels. They all will receive pegylated interferon treatment and were randomly assigned to a vitamin D treatment or a control group. A final assessment will be made to determine whether vitamin D levels would affect the clearance rate of HBsAg.
NCT05752890
The investigators will first use our previously collected serum samples and surgical/biopsied tissues from HBV-related HCC patients undergoing radiotherapy. The consistency of junctional clones by Capture NGS needs to be tested between both pre- and post-RT serums, and serial changes in copy numbers of vh-DNA by ddPCR are quantified in the representative cases. The same junction clones from pre-post-RT serums and surgical tissues will be confirmed and the copy number changes of vh-DNA be correlated with RT response and disease-control status. The investigators plan to identify HBV integrations by Capture NGS and quantify the specific vh-DNA by ddPCR as personalized biomarkers from the same-patient serum samples. The investigators will further correlate clinical response and recurrence/metastasis with serial changes of vh-DNA copy numbers. The investigators have been prospectively collecting plasma samples from HBV-related HCC patients before/after RT, at 1, 4, 7 months, and at recurrence/metastasis. The investigators plan to confirm the viable role of pre-/post-RT changes of plasma vh-DNA copies of the same junction clone in post-RT response and prognosis. Moreover, The investigators will explore the recurrent/metastatic tumors arising from the original or a de novo one by identifying their clonality with HBV integration patterns. The true value of this novel HBV chimera vh-DNA will be revealed. The results will also support the consolidative use of personalized vh-DNA for earlier evaluating treatment response after RT, for post-RT disease monitoring, and for differentiating clonality at recurrence to design future clinical trial on combinational treatment.
