Hepatitis A clinical trials at UCSF

11 in progress, 5 open to eligible people

Hepatitis A is a liver disease caused by a virus. UCSF is seeking people for clinical trials to test treatments for liver damage caused by other illnesses. One study is looking at the causes of decompensation in adults with liver cirrhosis. Another is looking at the safety and effectiveness of a drug called Tenofovir Alafenamide for children with Hepatitis B. A third study is testing a medication called Selgantolimod to treat Hepatitis B and HIV.

  • A Phase 2b Study in Subjects With Alcoholic Hepatitis to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of DUR-928 Treatment

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2b clinical Trial evaluating Safety and Efficacy of DUR-928 (an experimental medication) in Patients with Alcoholic Hepatitis (AH).

  • Mild Hypothermia and Acute Kidney Injury in Liver Transplantation

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    Acute kidney injury (AKI), or worsening kidney function, is a common complication after liver transplantation (20-90% in published studies). Patients who experience AKI after liver transplantation have higher mortality, increased graft loss, longer hospital and intensive care unit stays, and more progression to chronic kidney disease compared with those who do not. In this study, half of the participants will have their body temperature cooled to slightly lower than normal (mild hypothermia) for a portion of the liver transplant operation, while the other half will have their body temperature maintained at normal. The study will evaluate if mild hypothermia protects from AKI during liver transplantation.

  • Study of Oral TLR8 Agonist Selgantolimod on HBsAg in Participants With Both Chronic Hepatitis B and HIV

    open to eligible people ages 18-70

    The study aims to assess safety and tolerability of oral toll-like receptor (TLR) 8 agonist Selgantolimod (SLGN) administered for 24 weeks in participants with both CHB and HIV who have been receiving suppressive antiviral therapy for both viruses for ≥5 years and have qHBsAg level >1000 (3 log10) IU/mL at screening. The study will also evaluate if TLR8 stimulation with SLGN will reduce hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) titers in the blood.

  • Study of Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF) in Children and Teen Participants With Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection

    open to eligible people ages 2-17

    The goals of this clinical study are to compare the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of study drug, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), versus placebo in teens and children with CHB and to learn more about the dosing levels in children.

  • Liver Cirrhosis Network Cohort Study

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    Liver Cirrhosis Network (LCN) Cohort Study is an observational study designed to identify risk factors and develop prediction models for risk of decompensation in adults with liver cirrhosis. LCN Cohort Study involves multiple institutions and an anticipated 1200 participants. Enrolled participants will have study visits every 6 months (180 days), with opportunities to complete specific visit components via telehealth or remotely. Visits will include collection of questionnaire data and the in-person visits will include questionnaires, physical exams, imaging, and sample collection.

  • Study to Evaluate the Antiviral Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Versus Placebo in Pediatric Participants With Chronic Hepatitis B Infection

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the antiviral efficacy of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF; TDF) versus placebo in pediatric population (aged 2 to < 12 years at the time of enrollment) with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection.

  • HBRN: Immune Regulation and Costimulation in Natural History and Therapeutic Outcome of Chronic Hepatitis B

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    This is an ancillary to the NIDDK-sponsored treatment trials titled: Combination Therapy of Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2a and Tenofovir Versus Tenofovir Monotherapy in Chronic Hepatitis B (NCT01369212) and Combination Entecavir and Peginterferon Therapy in HBeAg-Positive Immune-Tolerant Adults With Chronic Hepatitis B (NCT01369199). This study will examine the balance between immune regulatory and effector responses in hepatitis B-infected participants enrolled in the HBRN's clinical trials (NCT01369212 and NCT01369199) to define natural history and treatment outcome.
