Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C"

The objectives of this study are to collect and assess data related to safety and effectiveness of Sovaldi treatment regimens, per the approved prescribing information for Sovaldi, in routine clinical practice and report results to Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS).

The primary objective is to assess the prevalence and genotypes of HCV infection in thalassemia major and thalassemia intermediate patients who have received blood transfusion in the Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital. The secondary objective is to identify the effect of HCV infection as well as the risk factors of advanced liver disease and liver cirrhosis in these patients The third objective is to identify the role of serum HA level and fibrotest in the prediction of cirrhosis in these patients.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir with ribavirin used for participants infected with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 2 in daily practice in Japan.

Compare Hepatiis C Virus (HCV) detection between oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and normal tissues, to determine the possible relationship between HCV and OSCC.

The interferon- and ribavirin- (RBV) free combination regimen of glecaprevir plus pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) for the treatment of genotypes 1 to 6 of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) viral infection has been shown to be safe and effective in randomized controlled clinical trials. This observational study is an effectiveness research examining the regimen of GLE/PIB, used according to local label, under real world conditions in a clinical practice patient population.

The ANRS CO13 HEPAVIH cohort is a prospective and multicentric cohort created in 2005 with the originality to cover two therapeutic domains of key importance, AIDS and hepatitis C. The cohort, is unique in Europe with more than 1800 participants followed over 10 years including quality of life and compliance to treatment data.

This early post-marketing study is an observational, prospective and descriptive study of patients receiving daclatasvir for the treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C at participating sentinel sites for the CNFV in Mexico.

Chronic viral hepatitis often leads to liver scarring - cirrhosis. If the virus is eradicated from the liver, the liver scarring and liver function often recovers. In some patients the damage is too severe and recovery does not take place. It is not yet known which patients have liver disease that is too advanced to benefit from therapy nor is it known how fast the recovery occurs. Non-intrusive dynamic liver testing (DLT) may allow us to predict the functionality of the liver post treatment and may guide us in treatment choices - for example patients who are predicted not to recover may be prioritised for transplantation. Indocyanine green (ICG) is a dye solely excreted by the liver into bile and used to measure its dynamic function. Transient elastography is similar to ultrasound and measures the degree of fibrosis within the liver. The investigators hypothesise that the use of non-intrusive dynamic liver testing pre-treatment, will allow us to delineate patients before therapy who will have functional liver recovery following viral eradication. The investigators hypothesise that monitoring changes in liver fibrosis and liver function in patients with historical viral clearance will allow an assessment of the likely speed of recovery of liver fibrosis and function - for example if all patients 5 years after treatment for viral hepatitis induced cirrhosis have 'normal' fibrosis and liver function scores the investigators will be able to conclude that recovery is complete within 5 years. The investigators will perform a study pre and post-treatment assessing liver function using non-intrusive dynamic liver testing in addition to currently-used 'liver function' scoring systems, in a multivariate analysis, to determine whether or not the investigators can identify patients who are will have functional liver recovery post therapy.

The purpose of the study is to describe: 1) the clinical profile, past and current management of participants with hepatitis C in Brazil reference centers; 2) the current situation about demographics characteristics, liver disease progression and clinical outcomes in Brazilian Hepatitis C virus (HCV) participants naive, in treatment and previously exposed to antiviral treatment without sustained virological response (SVR).

Introduction: Vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) is a potential modulator of immune response and is associated with clinical progression of many diseases. Our aim is to assess influence of baseline 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and VDBP single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs4588 (C>A) and rs7041 (G>T), on baseline clinical parameters and response to interferon based therapy in chronic Hepatitis C patients in Egypt. Methodology: Genotyping will be performed by RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) in treatment naïve Hepatitis C patients and healthy controls. Vitamin D levels will be assessed by ELISA. HCV RNA quantification will be performed by PCR to assess therapy outcome.
