Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis"

Patients who receive liver transplantation for hepatitis B virus (HBV) induced liver failure require longterm therapy to prevent HBV reinfection of the transplanted liver. The approved preventative treatment is a combination of antihepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIg) and oral antiviral medication. In the first 6 months after liver transplantation, patients receive treatment with intravenous HBIg to maintain blood antihepatitis B (antiHBs)antibody concentrations above 100 IU/L, the level considered safe for preventing hepatitis B reinfection. Zutectra is an HBIg preparation for subcutaneous injection that is approved in the EU for the 'prevention of HBV reinfection in HBV DNA negative patients ≥ 6 months after liver transplantation for hepatitis B induced liver failure'. The purpose of this study is to show that earlier subcutaneous HBIg treatment with Zutectra after liver transplantation can prevent hepatitis B reinfection. Treatment with subcutaneous HBIg (Zutectra) at home is manageable for the majority of patients and is more convenient for patients compared to intravenous treatment that must take place in the hospital setting. Fourty patients will take part in the study at approximately 19 centres in UK, France, Italy and Spain. Patients who are eligible for the study will receive treatment with Zutectra for 24 weeks. During the study, the safety and effectiveness of Zutectra will be assessed by checking for symptoms of hepatitis B related infection, as well as monitoring blood levels of antiHBs antibodies and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg).

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the combination of abatacept along with entecavir (the study drugs) is safe and effective in treating symptoms related to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Abatacept, given in an intravenous (IV - injected into a vein) as well as subcutaneous form, is approved by the FDA for the treatment of RA. In this research, abatacept will be given by injection. A subcutaneous injection is an injection given under the skin. Entecavir, to be taken by mouth, is approved by the FDA for the treatment of hepatitis B. The study is divided into the following time periods: Screening Phase: Up to 4 weeks Randomized Double-blind Phase: 24 weeks Open-label Extension Phase: 24 weeksFollow-up Phase: a phone call after Week 48 Each phase contains one or more study visits.

This study aims to develop innovative immunological read-outs and new technologies in order to further characterise the early immune response and its kinetics as well as the adaptive immune responses to adjuvanted vaccines. This study will also evaluate the reactogenicity in healthy, hepatitis B virus naive adults vaccinated with the hepatitis B surface antigen in combination with a GSK Biologicals' Adjuvant System.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of BMS-986094 and Daclatasvir (DCV) when given in combination with or without Ribavirin

This study will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Engerix™-B (hepatitis B vaccine) when administered as a primary vaccination course at 0, 1 and 6 months in adults with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Primary objective: To determine the safety and immunogenicity of tetanus and diphtheria toxoids adsorbed combined with component pertussis and inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine grown on vero cells (TdcP-IPV) compared to tetanus and diphtheria toxoids adsorbed combined with component pertussis and inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine grown on vero cells (TdcP-IPV) and Hepatitis B vaccine administered concurrently in adolescents 11-14 years of age. Secondary objective: To determine whether concurrent administration of TdcP-IPV and Hepatitis B vaccines at 11-14 years of age results in detectable immunologic interactions between components of the two vaccines.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a novel DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T fully liquid combined hexavalent vaccine (study vaccine) administered at 2, 4, and 6 months of age compared to Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV//PRP~T combined vaccine (Pentaxim™) given at 2, 4, and 6 months of age and Hep B vaccine (Euvax B®) given at 1 and 6 months of age in South Korean infants that received a birth dose of Hep B and born to mothers documented to be serum anti-HBs Ag negative. Primary Objective To demonstrate the non-inferiority in terms of seroprotection (Diphtheria, Tetanus, poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3, PRP-T, Hep B) and vaccine response for pertussis antigens (pertussis toxoid [PT] and filamentous haemagglutinin [FHA]) of Group A versus Group B, one month after the third dose of combined vaccines. Secondary Objectives: To further study the immunogenicity of the two vaccination schemes, before the first dose and one month after the last dose of vaccines. To study the safety after each and any dose of vaccines administered in the two vaccination schemes

The objective of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and Anti-HBV antibody persistence of hepatitis B vaccine with different doses and schedules. Hepatitis B vaccine with the regimens of 20μg, 0-1-6 mon and 60μg,0-1 or 0-2 mon will be administered to young adults, and the comparative immunogenicity among the three groups will be measured at 1 mon post-a series vaccination, 1- and 2-year after the first dose of the regimen. Furthermore, the safety of hepatitis B vaccine with different doses and schedules will also be evaluated.

This is a study of the safety and effectiveness of the hepatitis C medications sofosbuvir and simeprevir in patients who have both the HIV and hepatitis C (HCV) viruses.

A proof of concept (POC) study will be conducted in 44 volunteers that have been fully vaccinated against hepatitis B in the past (at least 5 years ago) to assess the safety and immunogenicity of intradermal vaccination with hepatitis B surface vaccine antigen using a newly developed intradermal injection device VAX-ID, compared to intramuscular and intradermal (Mantoux technique) injection.
