Research
Mayo Clinic doctors and researchers are involved in many studies related to viral hepatitis prevention, diagnoses and treatment. 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.
