About this study

Official title: The Impact of Hepatic Steatosis on Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection

This study aims to evaluate the prevalence and severity of hepatic steatosis in CHB and investigate the relationship between hepatic steatosis and viral load, liver biochemistry, liver fibrosis, and inflammation in CHB

Read the detailed description

This hospital-based cohort study will be conducted on 80 adult hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers presented to the Tropical Medicine and Gastroenterology outpatient clinic, at Sohag University Hospital Exclusion criteria Patients with serological evidence of HCV. HBV patients who had received or are currently under anti-viral therapy. Alcohol consumption. Decompensated liver disease. Patients with HCC. Patients are known to have another chronic liver disease (e.g. autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, Wilson's disease, Haemochromatosis, or drug-induced chronic hepatitis).

Patients with contraindications to liver biopsy such as uncooperative patients, prothrombin time (PT) >4 seconds more than control, INR greater than 1.6, platelets count <100.000/mm3After taking informed written consent, the participants will be subjected to:

Clinical evaluation: medical history and physical examination.

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Hepatitis, run by Sohag University at 1 site in Egypt.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2023. 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 Egypt. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

prevalence of hepatic steatosis in CHB (time frame: January 2023 to july 2023 will be included in the study). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05678582, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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?
