Mayo Clinic doctors often inform eligible patients about opportunities to participate in research studies and clinical trials related to advancements in the treatment of hepatitis. Areas of research include: Identify factors that may cause hepatitis B disease to worsen or activate. Assess the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of new hepatitis B and C treatments. Determine the effectiveness of using a combination of two different medicines in preventing the transmission of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) from a HCV positive donor to a HCV negative solid organ recipient. Develop advanced imaging technology for monitoring liver inflammation during direct-acting antiviral treatment for hepatitis C, and evaluate risks of severe liver injury and liver cancer development. Immunologists and virologists also are working on making a hepatitis C vaccine.

The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
