Post-marketing Surveillance of HIV-infected Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C Treated With PegIntron...
Chronic Hepatitis CHepatitis C1 moreThe objective of the study was to assess the safety and efficacy of peginterferon alfa-2b (PEG-IFN alfa-2b) and ribavirin (RBV) administered to participants coinfected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). Participants were treated by general practitioners in clinical practice as part of the post-marketing surveillance study. The study assessed the rates of eradication of the HCV and the rates of serious adverse events reported with PEG-IFN alfa-2b (1.5 ug/kg/week) and RBV (800-1200 mg/day) in common medical practice in Germany.
Efficacy of Pegetron® Redipen™ Treatment and Treatment Compliance of Patients With Chronic Hepatitis...
Hepatitis CChronic1 moreTreatment compliance is a key success factor in obtaining the full benefit of Pegetron (peginterferon alfa-2b [PegIFN-2b] plus ribavirin combination) therapy for patients. Treatment-naïve patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) in Canada to whom Pegetron Redipen was prescribed will receive Pegetron Redipen therapy in accordance with approved labeling. The study will assess the effect of the newly approved Pegetron Redipen on treatment compliance and its effect on sustained virologic response rates. Sustained virologic response is defined as negative hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV-RNA) six months post-treatment.
PegIntron Injection Surveillance Plan (Study P04123)
Hepatitis CChronicSurveillance will be conducted at digestive departments of internal medicine in university or general hospitals where participants with chronic hepatitis C are generally treated. The purpose of this surveillance is to evaluate the postmarketing safety and efficacy of PegIntron Injection under actual conditions of use and to examine adverse events, serious adverse events, and adverse drug reactions.
An Observational Study on The Prediction of Adverse Events in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C...
Hepatitis CChronicThis observational study will assess factors leading to dose reductions/treatment discontinuations and the effect on sustained virological response in patients with chronic hepatitis C receiving a long-acting interferon (e.g. Pegasys/peginterferon alfa-2a) and ribavirin. Data will be collected from each patient for the duration of their treatment and for up to 6 months thereafter.
Prevention of Depression With Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Chronic Carriers of Hepatitis C Treated With...
Chronic Hepatitis CThe purpose of the study is to check whether development of depression as a side effect of interferon alpha treatment in chronic carriers of hepatitis C can be prevented by omega-3 fatty acids.
Observational Study of Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infected With HCV Genotype...
Hepatitis CThe purpose of this observational study was to provide summary data from participants who relapsed at the end of the follow-up phase after 24 weeks of treatment with standard care PegIntron plus ribavirin in Part 1 of the study (NCT00709228) and who then received retreatment during Part 2 of the study. Relapse was defined as having a positive virology result at the Week 24 post-treatment follow-up, after a negative result at the Week 24 end-of-treatment time point. Hepatitis C Virus Ribonucleic Acid (HCV-RNA) levels were measured at Day 1 and Weeks 12, 24, and 48 of the extension, and at Follow-up Week 24.
Quality of Life During Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C (P05278/MK-4031-336)
Hepatitis CChronic2 moreThe primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of chronic hepatitis C (CHC), and the treatment thereof with peginterferon alpha-2b (PEG) and ribavirin (RBV) according to standard clinical practice, on the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of a cohort of participants throughout 72 weeks of follow-up. HRQL was assessed using the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire-Hepatitis C Virus (CLDQ-HCV).
Study of Oral Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir Tablets in Participants Aged 12 Years or Older With Chronic...
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is among the most common of all chronic liver diseases. HCV predominantly affects liver cells and causes the liver to become inflamed and damaged. This can lead to cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver cancer or the need for liver transplant. This study will evaluate how effective glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) is in participants with chronic HCV infection. Effectiveness will be assessed as the achievement of sustained virologic response. GLE/PIB is an approved drug for the treatment of HCV. Participants 12 years or older with chronic HCV infection will be enrolled. This is a prospective (conducted in future) study in therapy of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment-experienced participants with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. Around 67 participants will be enrolled at multiple sites in Russian Federation. Participants will receive oral GLE/PIB tablets as prescribed by the physician in accordance with local clinical practice, international guidelines and/or label. Prescription is independent from this study and is decided before providing opportunity to the participate in the study. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. All study visits will occur during routine clinical practice and participants will be followed for 12 weeks.
Real World Experience of Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC) Treatment in Israel
Hepatitis CPrimary objective: 1. To estimate the effectiveness of treatment with FDC of Zepatier with or without ribavirin in Israeli patients with CHC and advanced fibrosis in real life setting. Secondary objective: 1. To estimate the safety and tolerability of treatment with FDC of Zepatier with or without ribavirin in real life setting in Israeli patients with CHC and advanced disease. Hypotheses: Effectiveness and tolerability of treatment with FDC of Zepatier with or without ribavirin in Israeli patients with CHC and advanced fibrosis will be similar to that demonstrated in phase 3 clinical trials.
Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Patients With Hemoglobinopathies
Hepatitis CChronic1 moreProgression of liver fibrosis in patients with hemoglobinopathies is strongly related to the severity of iron overload and the presence of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Effective iron chelation therapy and HCV infection eradication are efficacy to prevent liver complications. EASL and AASLD guidelines recommend interferon-free regimens for the treatment of HCV infection in patients with hemoglobinopathies. However, data regarding the use of direct-acting antiviral drugs (DAAs) in this patient population are very few This large, observational study evaluated the safety and efficacy of standard therapy with DAAs in a large Italian cohort of with hemoglobinopathies, chronic HCV infection and advanced liver fibrosis.
