Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis, Chronic"

Adherence to antiviral treatment in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is an important factor to achieve sustained virological response (SVR). The aim of our study is to evaluate the efficacy of a multidisciplinary support program (MSP) in adherence to and efficacy of pegylated interferon alfa-2a and ribavirin compared to the conventional approach. We assessed 447 patients with CHC receiving antiviral treatment distributed into 3 groups: control group (recruited 2002-2004, n= 147), MSP-pilot group (recruited 2005-2006, n=131), and MSP-validation group (recruited 2007-2009, n=169).

The purpose of this study is to collect information on the efficacy, safety and tolerability of telaprevir (in combination with other medications), in patients who have a history of intravenous drug use with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C, under substitution therapy (eg., methadone, buprenorphine) and/or followed in addiction centres.

An Open Study to Evaluate the Sustained Effect in Patients Showing Virological Responses With Muscle-related Symptom of Chronic Hepatitis B Patients Who Received Clevudine.

The 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.

The primary aim of this study is to asses the efficacy (both virological and clinical) and safety of ETV in both NA-naïve and NA-experienced chronic hepatitis B patients, and to explore baseline factors associated with virologic reponse (VR) to ETV.

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.

Post-marketing surveillance study to evaluate the real world safety and effectiveness of Maviret (Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir) administered under a normal, routine treatment practice by Korean patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Genotypes 1 to 6

This study seeks to assess the effectiveness, patient reported outcomes, work productivity and healthcare resource utilization of the interferon-free regimen of paritaprevir /ritonavir (r) - ombitasvir, ± dasabuvir ± ribavirin (RBV) in participants with chronic hepatitis C in a real life setting across clinical practice populations.

This study seeks to provide evidence of the effectiveness and obtain patient reported outcome (PRO) data for the interferon-free regimen of paritaprevir (PTV)/ritonavir (r) + ombitasvir (OBV), + dasabuvir (DSV), +/- ribavirin (RBV) in participants with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) in a real life setting across clinical practice patient populations in Romania.

The most important method to slow down and stop the liver disease progression in patients with chronic hepatitis B is antiviral therapy, by which to achieve maintaining viral response during treatment or obtain sustained viral response after treatment. The aim of the therapy with interferon is make patients obtain immune control to HBV, in clinical practice, it was expressed as HBeAg seroconversion, HBsAg loss and sustained viral response in HBeAg positive patients. However, those targets can't be get in most patients by 48 weeks of interferon treatment, and some patients need extended treatment to enhance the rate of HBeAg seroconversion and HBsAg loss. In this cohort study, the efficacies of extended therapy of interferon in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B patients will be evaluated.
