NCT05669677
Background: The COVID-19 global pandemic killed more than 6 million people worldwide. Several vaccines have been developed against the virus that causes this disease. These vaccines are effective at preventing severe symptoms and death from COVID-19. Some people with chronic liver disease, especially those with an advanced condition called cirrhosis, do not respond to many vaccines as well as healthy people do. The goal of this natural history study is to find out how well people with chronic liver disease respond to the COVID-19 vaccines. Objective: To learn how chronic liver disease affects the body s immune response to vaccination against COVID-19. Eligibility: People aged 18 years or older with chronic liver disease. They must also be enrolled in protocol 91-DK-0214 or 18-DK-0091. Design: Participants will have 3 visits, each spaced 6 months apart. Each visit will last 2 hours. Participants will have their vital signs recorded. These include age, sex, race, height, and weight. They will give their medical history. At each visit, participants will have blood drawn through a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. The sample drawn at each visit will be from 1 to 8 tablespoons. At each visit, participants will fill out a questionnaire. They will answer questions about whether they have been vaccinated against COVID-19; whether they have had COVID-19; and whether they have been exposed to someone who had COVID-19. The questionnaire will take 10 to 15 minutes. Researchers will also look at results of past blood tests from other research studies.
NCT04535544
The purpose of the study is to evaluate on-treatment efficacy against hepatitis D virus (HDV) of JNJ-73763989 + nucleos(t)ide analog (NA) regimen compared to NA alone.
NCT06638320
The goal of this observational study is to determine the prevalence of hepatitis D virus (HDV) and the distribution of the HDV genotype in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection. It will also identify factors related to hepatitis D virus infection, such as characteristics of the study sample, vaccination history, drug use affecting hepatitis, family factors, environment, and lifestyle. This study will be conducted at Tam Anh General Hospital, Bach Mai Hospital and Tam Anh TP. Ho Chi Minh General Hospital. Participants will be interviewed directly through a questionnaire to collect some information related to epidemiological risk factors. A blood sample will also be collected.
NCT06889805
This is a territory-wide cross-sectional study of all individuals living with HIV/HBV coinfection and HBV-related HCC.
NCT05723068
The circulation of the Hepatitis D Virus (HDV) has considerably diminished in Italy, secondary to the control of the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) with vaccination; this has led to the perception that HDV is vanishing and has reduced attention to the diagnosis of Hepatitis D. However, migratory fluxes from HDV endemic areas, fostered by labour-forces globalization, are increasingly reconstituting the reservoir of HDV in the country and hepatitis D has not yet vanished in native Italians but will remain an important medical issue for several years to come. As the epidemiologic and clinical features of HDV infection in migrant communities are largely unknown and the features of native Italians with long standing HDV infections have not been updated, this project intends to establish the contemporary epidemiological and medical context of HDV in immigrants in Italy and to determine the clinical characteristics and needs of the residual cohort of native HDV Italians, through the analysis of all HDV cases recruited in 12 months in a coordinated network of 35 Italian medical centers. The data will provide an appraisal of the burden of hepatitis D in the country and of its impact on the National Health System. They will present the paradigm of the current trend of HDV infection in high-income countries in the world.
NCT04166266
This is a multicentre observational study with prospective and retrospective data collection and retrospective data collection and biological collection from patients with HBV/HDV co-infection.
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.
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
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
NCT05962307
Spontaneous, pharmacological observational, no-profit, retrospective, multi-center. This study was designed to get a "real-life" snapshot across several Italian Hepatology centers. All HDV patients are followed up according to EASL 2017 guidelines. This allows uniformity on the indication for antiviral treatment and management of that antiviral therapy. No off-label medications are used. All data are retrievable from the patient's medical record. In addition, clinical and biochemical data from patients at month 0, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 12 of treatment, and otherwise within the study period, will be collected retrospectively/longitudinally. The primary objective of the study is to describe the virological response to BLV in all patients starting BLV therapy, defined as a \>2 Log decline in HDV-RNA or undetectable HDV-RNA (using the Robogene 2.0 quantitative kit, LLQ \<6 IU/ml) at month 12 of therapy. All patients with active HDV chronic hepatopathy (quantifiable HDV-RNA) who initiated treatment with BLV 2 mg/day during the study period at the S.C. Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico) and at participating centers, and who met the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria.

NCT03600714
Background: Infection with hepatitis D virus leads to a chronic liver disease with no effective treatment. Lonafarnib has improved hepatitis D virus levels in blood, but the medication still needs more research. Ritonavir makes other drugs more effective and is used with lonafarnib to make it more effective. Lambda interferon stimulates the body s response to viruses. Researchers want to see if combining these drugs fights hepatitis D and helps the liver. Objectives: To see if combining lonafarnib, ritonavir, and lambda interferon is safe and effective to treat chronic hepatitis D infection. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with chronic hepatitis D infection Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, and blood and urine tests. Throughout the study, all participants will: * Follow rules for medicine, food, and contraception * Take hepatitis B medicine * Have weight checked * Have routine blood and urine tests * Give stool samples * Female participants will have pregnancy tests. Participants will have 3 visits before treatment. They will repeat screening tests and have a heart test and liver scan. Participants will have a 5-day inpatient stay. They will: * Baseline blood and urine tests * Have eye tests * Answer health questions * Have a liver sample taken and liver blood pressure measured. Participants will be sedated. * Have reproductive tests * Start the study drugs and have blood draws Over 24 weeks of treatment, participants will: -Take 2 study drugs by mouth every day and 1 as a weekly injection
