Testing hepatitis delta virus using finger-prick blood on paper
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to detect and measure hepatitis delta virus using a tiny drop of blood from a finger prick, placed on special paper. Your participation could help improve testing for this condition and make it easier to monitor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a confirmed hepatitis delta (HDV) infection.
- You are already receiving care at one of the participating AP-HP hospitals in Paris.
- You already have a regular blood test scheduled as part of your medical care.
- You are willing to provide a small extra blood sample from a finger prick.

This study looks at new blood tests (biomarkers) to better understand chronic hepatitis B and how it affects treatment decisions. It may help doctors find better ways to manage your condition.
This study checks blood from a simple dried blood spot to screen for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV. It may help find infections early, which can allow earlier treatment.
This study uses a mobile diary app to track symptoms and quality of life for people living with hepatitis D infection. It may help researchers better understand the patient experience.
This study is testing a newer, more precise way of measuring the amount of hepatitis B virus in your blood (called digital PCR) to see if it matches current testing methods. If you are a chronic hepatitis B patient, this could help make future virus monitoring more accurate.
This study tests whether people with HIV can safely collect small blood samples at home using finger-pricks and devices (“dried blood spots”). It may help make HIV monitoring easier and more convenient while on certain HIV medicines.
This study looks at patient information (your health data) for adults who test positive for HDV. You may help researchers better understand HDV by allowing their team to collect and use your data.
