Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

The 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.

This study plans to evaluate what happens to the brain in patients with HIV and early hepatitis C. The investigators will be comparing 3 groups of individuals: Group 1: Individuals with HIV infection and acute (early) hepatitis C infection Group 2: Individuals with HIV infection Group 3: Healthy volunteers

The 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.

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.

The investigators hypothesize that a well-designed hepatitis C (HCV) video education curriculum for active drug injectors will lead to measurable improvements in HCV testing rates, HAV and HBV vaccination rates, as well as knowledge and attitudes about this condition. The investigators will use a short 10 minute video designed for active drug users to and assess its impact vs. a usual-care counseling intervention. The investigators will measure and compare its impact at baseline, 4 weeks after video viewing, and 12 weeks after intervention.

The 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).

The purpose of this study is to find out how many children who are infected with HIV are also infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). HCV infection is a major health concern. HIV-infected adults who are co-infected with HCV appear to have more rapid HIV disease progression. There is little data on how widespread HCV is among children who are HIV-infected. Information from this study will help determine the need for future HCV studies. This study also will obtain blood samples for future testing for other hepatitis viruses such as hepatitis G virus (HGV or GB virus C).

The purpose of this study is to find if the Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) scan is as effective as a liver biopsy (using a special needle to remove tissue from the liver) in examining liver damage in patients with HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV). A standard way to examine the liver for disease has been to perform a liver biopsy. The SPECT scan, which takes a picture of the liver, has been found to be effective in determining liver damage but studies need to be done in patients with hepatitis. This study will compare the effectiveness of the liver biopsy and SPECT scan in determining liver disease in patients with HIV and HCV. The SPECT scan might be a good replacement for the liver biopsy if it is found to be as good as or better than liver biopsies.

To define the natural history, immunologic, and genetic factors that influence the clinical outcome of hepatitis C in a cohort of hemophilic siblings.

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.
