Chronic Liver DiseaseNCT00629668

Genetic Polymorphisms of TNF-α Promoter and HBV Genotype on Outcome of HBV-Related Chronic Liver Disease

A study testing TNF-alpha and HBV genotype and TNF-alpha and HBV genotypes in people with Chronic Liver Disease and Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

The prognosis of Hepatitis B virus (HBV)infection varies from minimal progressive liver disease to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Both viral and host genetic factors contribute to disease severity. Cytokine gene polymorphism has been regarded affecting prognosis of disease. Read more about this study

About this study

The prognosis of Hepatitis B virus (HBV)infection varies from minimal progressive liver disease to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Both viral and host genetic factors contribute to disease severity. Cytokine gene polymorphism has been regarded affecting prognosis of disease. By detecting HBV genotyping and tumor necrosis factor-alpha polymorphism, this study aime to assess their effects and interaction on disease severity of HBV-related chronic liver disease and HCC.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TNF-alpha and HBV genotype and TNF-alpha and HBV genotypes in people with Chronic Liver Disease and Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cytokine gene polymorphism (time frame: years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Mar 2008.
