Avatar m tn - induced HBsAg seroclearance was achieved in most patients with 8-16 weeks of treatment and was accompanied by the appearance of moderate free anti-HBs titers (50-60 mIU/ml) and reductions in serum HBV DNA (to 1000-3000 CPM). Addition of Zadaxin™ or Pegasys™ to REP 9AC' therapy resulted in rapid and profound increases in anti-HBs titers after as little as 6 weeks of immunotherapy to titers comparable to or greater than those observed in healthy patients with a strong vaccine response.
154668 tn?1290115995 PEGASYS is the only pegylated interferon indicated for the treatment of adult patients with chronic hepatitis B (HBeAg positive and HBeAg negative chronic hepatitis B who have compensated liver disease and evidence of viral replication and liver inflammation). PEGASYS is dosed at 180mcg as a subcutaneous injection taken once a week. COPEGUS is available as a 200mg tablet, and is administered orally two times a day as a split dose.
Avatar m tn com Montreal, Quebec – Friday , November 9th, 2012 – REPLICor is currently undertaking a proof of concept trial in patients with chronic hepatitis B (HBV) undergoing treatment with its nucleic acid polymer (NAP) REP 9AC’ in combination with Zadaxin™ or Pegasys™. The hepatitis B surface antigen protein (HBsAg) is produced in large excess by the HBV infection as subviral particles (SVPs) which act to block the immune response to HBV infection.

Avatar m tn The present study compared the efficacy of standard and extended durations of PEG-IFNα-2a monotherapy for treatment of HBeAg-negative Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B. Patients were randomized to receive standard therapy (n = 38; 48 weeks treatment) or extended therapy (n = 42; 72 weeks treatment).
Avatar f tn its possible to be cured but its small chanse for that. pegasys injectuons are the best with antiviral.

Avatar n tn As Advocate and Dee mentioned, there is more to the Hepatitis C treatment than just Pegasys. And as Dee mentioned, if you could tell us more about yourself, your Genotype and liver biopsy fibrosis stage, and if you have ever treated before, we may be able to better respond to your questions.
Avatar n tn - Infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and positive for the hepatitis B e antigen - Between the ages of 18 and 70 - Have not been previously treated with an interferon Exclusion Criteria: - Not infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis D virus (HDV) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) - Do not have a serious liver, psychiatric, blood, thyroid, lung, heart or eye disease" I wonder why only " HBV e antigen positive" patient? why not e antigen negative?
Avatar f tn Hi. Basically the chances are about 50% that you will clear the virus. Depending on a number of factors in addition to genotype. See last section below. (I'm genotype 1 on my 7th week of Peg/Copegus with compensated cirrhosis and a beginning viral load of 6.2 million. Infected by the virus as best I can tell 38 years ago). I wish you well! For more details see this portion of the doc "A Guide to Understanding Hepatitis C" from www.hcvadvocate.org.

Avatar n tn m HbeAg Negative and HBeAb Positive. My ALT is 47 and AST is 25 u/l. I was placed on Livolin and Vitamin B complex and later I was told to be taking a shot of pegasys once per week. After 3 Months, I was unable to get money for pegasys so I stopped. I'm only taken Livolin forte and vitamin B complex. My question... I was thinking maybe the stoppage of pegasys would increase my liver damage and also increase by Viral Load...
Avatar m tn Stopping tenofovir disoproxil fumarate treatment after long-term virologic suppression is safe and associated with a more profound decline in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels than continuous treatment in patients with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB) who have undetectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, according to a study presented here at the International Liver Congress, the 50th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EAS
Avatar f tn In 2006 i founded that i have hepatitis B+D. Off couse i have a lot of analysis, my TGO and TGP was very high, viremy for hepatitis B and D was present. I started with Roferon (interferon) for 4 months but no result. My big problem was TGO very high (14 * normally). This treatment with Roferon has stoped. Then I started for 1 year with entecavirul 0.5 mg/day, but my analysis still very bad. Then my doctor's said that i have to start a combo treatment with Pegasys and Entecavir.
