Psychoeducation for Hepatitis and Alcohol Behaviors
Hepatitis CSubstance AbuseThe proposed project will apply a unique, effective family-responsive psychoeducation program, PsychoEducation Responsive to Families (PERF), for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) treatment. The goal is to demonstrate that the intervention will enlarge the eligibility of some patients for HCV treatment and help sustain others through it.
An Integrated Care Model for Improving Hepatitis C Virus Patient Outcomes
Hepatitis CThis is a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing two different clinic models for patients with hepatitis C. These patients commonly have mental health problems that are barriers to receiving HCV treatment. Patients giving informed consent will be randomized to a usual care HCV clinic vs. a HCV clinic with the addition of an on-site mental health practitioner who will address psychiatric and substance use issues with the goal of enabling patients to undergo effective antiviral therapy. The major outcome of the study is the number of patients in each group who are "cured" with antiviral therapy. Patients in both groups receive current standard of care.
VX-950 and Peginterferon for Hepatitis C
Hepatitis CVX-950 is an investigational drug , which is being tested in combination with a known treatment for hepatitis C, peginterferon.

Hepatitis CChronicPrimary Objective: To determine the P1101 pharmacokinetic (PK) profile at the single dose of 400 μg.
Community Access, Retention in Care, and Engagement for Hepatitis C Treatment
Hepatitis CThe main goals of the CARE-C study are to demonstrate the effectiveness of HCV models of care in a rural state (A) to overcome barriers to HCV treatment uptake, (B) to increase retention in care, and (C) to broaden access to care. To achieve these goals the following two systems interventions will be separately implemented: (1) Implementation of the Psychosocial Readiness Evaluation and Preparation for hepatitis C treatment (PREP-C) and related standard of care best practice PREP-C related interventions facilitated by a social worker-patient navigator team, and (2) implementation of a modified ECHO model (with one patient visit at specialty center to include PREP-C and fibrosis assessment in contrast to standard ECHO model). To test the effectiveness of our two systems interventions 600 patients will be equally distributed into three study arms representing 3 care models: Arm 1: Current Care Model (management with current interdisciplinary team); Arm 2: PREP-C Model (management with expanded interdisciplinary team (social worker, patient navigator, PREP-C); and Arm 3: Modified ECHO Model (management with expanded team in collaboration with community providers). An additional Arm 4 was started January 2021 to follow subjects experience with HCV management and treatment via telemedicine.
A Study of Orally Administered JNJ-440 to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics...
Chronic Hepatitis BThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of JNJ-440 in healthy and Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) participants after single and multiple doses; and to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) of JNJ-440 in healthy participants and in CHB participants following single and multiple dose regimens, administered alone (healthy participants and CHB participants).
3-year Follow-up Study in Patients Previously Treated With TMC435-Containing Regimen for the Treatment...
Hepatitis CThe purpose of this study is to investigate durability of SVR in chronic HCV patients who achieved SVR in the previous study with TMC435-containing regimen and time for resistance associated mutations to return to baseline in chronic HCV patients who did not achieve SVR in the previous study with TMC435-containing regimen.

The Role of Sodium Chloride and the Treg/Th17 Axis in Autoimmune Hepatitis
Autoimmune HepatitisThe purpose of this study is to determine whether a salt restriction diet improves immune parameters in patients with autoimmune hepatitis.
New Methods to Measure the Immune Response to Hepatitis B Vaccine
Hepatitis BHepatitis B vaccine is a safe and effective vaccine used widely throughout the world. Because of this it is a useful vaccine in which to develop new methods for studying immune responses. Measuring the immune response to vaccines helps us to understand how they work and whether they are likely to protect any individual against infection. For most vaccines we measure the immune system's production of antibody after a vaccine has been given. The investigators want to develop new methods that give a far more detailed picture of the antibody response to vaccines than has previously been possible. These methods will investigate the genetic instructions used by each antibody producing cell to make antibody. These methods have the potential to give new insights into the way vaccines work, which could be applied to studying vaccines and vaccine schedules in the future.
