Austrian study seeks to eliminate hepatitis by linking patients to care
NCT ID NCT06834178
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study in South-East Austria looks at past lab results to find people with hepatitis B, C, or D who may not know they have it. Researchers will invite these individuals to a clinic to discuss treatment options. The goal is to connect them to care and track how many get cured, helping to reduce hepatitis in the region.
