Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C, Chronic"

The aim of the study is to analyse data coming from two treatment centres of the National Treatment Program Centres of hepatitis C in Egypt

The primary objective of the study is to determine the number of adverse events (AEs) reported by chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients receiving at least 1 dose of daclatasvir (DCV) and asunaprevir (ASV) at the 2 sentinel sites and that have been reported through the Mexican Health Authority's AE surveillance system during a specified 24-month study period. The secondary objective is to describe AEs reported by CHC patients receiving treatment with DCV and ASV treated by doctors at participating sentinel sites for the National Pharmacovigilance Center (CNFV) in Mexico during a specified 24-month study period.

In order to persist in the liver, HCV has numerous nonspecific and specific strategies to overcome the immunity of the host. The crucial step in the establishment of viral persistence and chronic hepatitis is the avoidance of specific antiviral cellular immune response in the liver. Treatment with pegylated interferon alpha (IFNα) in combination with ribavirin (RBV) is the standard therapy for chronic hepatitis C is. The response to IFNα / RBV therapy depends on the effective cellular antiviral immune response in the liver. The understanding of the interaction between HCV and cellular immune response is important for the effective use of existing diagnostic techniques, the Individual control and adjustment of the current therapeutic approaches and the development of future therapeutic and immunization strategies. In this study, the investigators want to investigate cellular Immune responses in the liver of HCV infected patients and characterize the influence of these immune responses to the response to IFNα / RBV therapy.

This is an observational study of patients undergoing treatment with PegIntron and Rebetol for chronic hepatitis C in clinical practice in Belgium. Treatment will not be administered as part of the study. Safety parameters will be assessed retrospectively. Efficacy parameters, such as relapse rates and sustained virologic response rates, will be assessed prospectively. The objective of the study is to examine any associations between safety, virologic, histologic, demographic parameters and patient outcome (relapse rates and sustained virologic response rates).

Project BEST is a clinical project funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to increase treatment to opiate dependent patients with mental illness in New Haven, CT and to prospectively follow everyone enrolled in buprenorphine care for as long as the individual takes buprenorphine to track the success of buprenorphine for the maintenance of opiate dependence.

Use of Ribavirin could affect hematologic profile of the patients negatively. With advent of new antiviral therapy, the preexisting hematologic changes may alter or corrected after treatment. However, this point is still not properly studied.

This is a prospective, multi-center observational study in adult participants chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) receiving the interferon-free ABBVIE REGIMEN (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir with or without dasabuvir) with or without ribavirin (RBV). The prescription of a treatment regimen was at the discretion of the physician in accordance with local clinical practice and label. This study focused on collecting real world data. Follow-up visits, treatment, procedures and diagnostic methods followed physicians' routine clinical practice using a 12-week treatment regimen (four visits plus two interim data collection windows) or a 24-week treatment regimen (four visits plus three interim data collection windows) and is based on the anticipated regular follow-up for patients undergoing treatment for chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Participants are observed for the duration of the ABBVIE REGIMEN therapy and for up to 24 weeks after treatment completion.

Due to the occult nature of hepatitis C virus (HCV), it is estimated that less than 5% of people with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection knowing their status. The major challenges are that awareness is lacking, reliable diagnostics and testing services are not sufficiently available, and laboratory capacity is weak. In the context of major tertiary hospitals, the well-functioning laboratories would ensure the high-quality HCV testing, which facilitate the identification of inpatients who are unaware of HCV infection. However, given the preliminary data, diagnostic rate of inpatients from non-infectious (non-ID) departments is disturbingly low. A recent study from a major hospital in Jilin province of China showed that 3.36% of inpatients were anti-HCV positive; however, HCV RNA confirmatory testing was not further performed in this study. From the retrospective cohort in non-ID departments of a tertiary hospital of Jiangsu during 2016 to 2017, only 25.9% (71/273) of patients with anti-HCV antibody (Ab) further had HCV RNA confirmatory test, while 40% (29/71) were identified as CHC. The previous data indicates that insufficient anti-HCV Ab testing and insufficient follow-up of patients with positive anti-HCV Ab from non-ID departments. Indeed, compared to hospitals in Western countries, the infectious department in Chinese hospitals are relative independent from non-ID departments, meanwhile the knowledge of HCV infection is relatively lacking for non-ID physicians. Therefore, an appropriate clinical pathway for integration and linkage of non-ID department and ID departments for diagnosis and care delivery of CHC patients is urgently needed. The investigator aim to establish a feasible clinical pathway and consensus guideline to enhance HCV testing surveillance with linkage to care in non-ID departments. Moreover, the participants with anti-HCV Ab also will be enrolled in the HCV prospective cohort, in which the intervention and clinical outcome of hepatitis will be longitudinally monitored in the future study.

Primary objective: • Develop and validate a tool towards patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 and 4 to allow optimize treatment.

This retrospective, observational study will assess the real world treatment out comes in the management of patients with chronic hepatitis C. No prospective ass essment or procedure with patients during this study will be conducted. Data wil l be collected from patient medical records of the year 2000-2011.
