Read the detailed description

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a serious public health problem worldwide, with approximately 2 billion people having a history of HBV infection and 350 million of them suffering from chronic HBV infection (1).

Although the host factors (such as infection age, gender and immune status), viral and environmental factors are thought to be involved in affecting the development of CHB. The mechanisms underlying the different clinical outcomes of HBV infection have not been fully understood. Studies indicated that host genetic factors play a critical role in the development of HBV infection, especially single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), is regarded to be one of the determinants for this clinical heterogeneity(2,3). Some polymorphisms have been reported to be involved in susceptibility to CHB in disease severity and progression, or disease prognosis (4,5).

Irisin is encoded by the FNDC5 gene, whose expression is controlled by the peroxi- some proliferator activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1α). PGC-1α is a transcriptional co-activator which does not bind directly to DNA. Studies indicated that the estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) could be a factor that plays a role in PGC-1α binding to DNA. ERRα is encoded by the ESRRA gene and is an orphan nuclear receptor, which has two domains. One of them allows the interaction with DNA, and the second one with a ligand. The ERRα structure is similar to that of the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), but this receptor does not bind to natural estrogens. ERRα interacts with a canonical sequence of the estrogen response elements (ERRE). ERRα and ERα could compete with each other to bind to similar DNA elements. Together, ERRα binds to DNA, in complex with PGC-1α, to regulate the activity of genes such as FNDC5 (6).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatitis B, Chronic, 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 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 5 Sep 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Shimaa Badawy Hemdan, lecturer (01115894759, shimaabadwy@med.sohag.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

genotyping of Fibronectin Type Ⅲ Domain Containing Protein 5 \ Irsin (FNDC5 rs3480) (time frame: 2 months). 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 NCT06023745, which also lists 3 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Sep 2023.
