Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C, Chronic"

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

The primary objective of this post-marketing surveillance study is to collect and assess data related to the safety and effectiveness of Harvoni® (ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF)) treatment regimen, per the approved Korea prescribing information for Harvoni, in routine clinical practice in Korea and to report the results to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). Participants will be treated as part of routine practice at Korean healthcare centers by accredited physicians.

This multi-center, observational study will examine the clinical use and outcomes of pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) alfa-2a and ribavirin combination (PEGASYS RBV) in participants with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Study visits will be scheduled for baseline, 12, 24 and 48 weeks after baseline. An additional follow-up visit at week 72 will be required for participants with an HCV genotype other than 2 or 3. Quality of life data will be collected at baseline, and at each follow-up visit.

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.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir used for patients infected with HCV genotype 1 in daily practice in Japan.

The scavenger receptor type B class I (SR-BI) is a receptor for high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and one of entry factors for hepatitis C virus (HCV). The investigators aimed to examine the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the SCARB1 gene, which encodes SR-BI, with virologic responses to pegylated interferon-based treatment in Asian chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients.

Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), is where human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) appears to have most diversified. The factors that lead to jumpstarting the HIV-1 epidemic remain unclear; mounting evidence suggests medical interventions may have contributed. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) are viruses compatible with long-term survival but with broadly similar modes of transmission as HIV. The main objective was to assess the association of past intravenous treatment with HCV and HTLV-1 seropositivity. The investigators hypothesized that medical interventions in the mid-20th century may have facilitated the emergence of HIV-1 in central Africa. To assess the association of injectable treatments with HCV and HTLV-1 infection and to reconstruct past virus dynamics, the investigators conducted a cross-sectional study of 839 elderly long-term inhabitants of Kinshasa, with serological assays followed by amplification and sequencing. Risk factors were assessed through logistic regression. Phylogenetic methods were used to reconstruct the epidemic history of HCV.

The PROP UP research study is funded by The Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). PROP UP is a multi-centered prospective observational study that will evaluate all-oral treatment regimens for chronic hepatitis C viral (HCV) infection regarding several patient-reported outcomes (PROs) such as HCV-associated symptoms, treatment side effects, medication adherence, out of pocket costs, comorbid conditions, and long-term benefits of cure and harms of treatment to compare PROs of different treatment regimens, treatment durations, and patient subgroups. Participants will be recruited from 9 U.S. liver centers. Approximately 1920 patients with HCV infection who are prescribed a regimen containing Sofosbuvir/Ledipasvir(SOF/LED), SOF/Velpatasvir(SOF/VEL), Grazoprevir/Elbasvir(GRZ/ELB), OBV/PTV/r + DSV (PRoD), or daclatasvir/SOF (DAC/SOF) will be recruited and approximately 1600 patients who are approved and begin HCV treatment will be enrolled in the longitudinal study. PRO surveys will be evaluated before, during and after HCV treatment. PROP UP is a collaborative effort between behavioral and biomedical researchers, a patient engagement group and a patient advocacy organization.

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.
