Study summary

This is a multicentre observational study with prospective and retrospective data collection and retrospective data collection and biological collection from patients with HBV/HDV co-infection.

Read the detailed description

This is an observatory for patients co-infected with hepatitis B and Delta viruses. Patients will be monitored according to the usual recommendations, depending on their status:

  • Patients who have never received specific treatment for hepatitis Delta (untreated or receiving treatment with peginterferon alpha 2a alone) will be monitored according to current recommendations, once every 6 months;
  • Patients treated or having been treated with a specific hepatitis Delta treatment will be monitored according to the compassionate access protocol or according to the recommendations of the AMM during treatment and according to routine follow-up after the end of treatment.

Participation in research entails the following additional procedures for patients, for each line of treatment, where applicable:

  • Samples for the biobank,
  • Self-administered questionnaires.

In addition, as sub-studies are planned on sub-groups of patients, these sub-studies may involve additional constraints/interventions

Study population

All patients followed in the participating centers for their HBV/HDV co-infection are susceptible to be included.

Patients who already started a specific treatment for their HDV infection will be included retrospectively, after they have signed an informed consent.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age > 18 years,
  • Presenting a chronic HDV infection (positive serology),
  • Who gave his written before any intervention and the day of inclusion at the latest,
  • Affiliated to Health Insurance or to the "Aide Médicale d'Etat" (request for exemption pending).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient participating in another biomedical research with an exclusion period ongoing at inclusion,
  • Vulnerable patient (minor, adults legally protected: under judicial protection, guardianship, or supervision, persons deprived of their liberty).
  • Patients with predictable difficulties of follow-up according to the investigator.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
