Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C"

The study aims to collect information on the current treatment patterns for Hepatitis C in participating countries. There is also a focus on patients receiving a daclatasvir-containing treatment regimen who will be followed prospectively for 12 months after treatment initiation to collect real-world data on effectiveness and safety of the treatment. Additional analysis will differentiate between selected subpopulations.

To evaluate the incidence of grade 3 or 4 transaminase elevations or grade 4 total bilirubin elevations (hepatic toxicity) during the first 48 weeks of antiretroviral therapy with the combination of rilpivirine (25mg), tenofovir (245mg) and emtricitabine (200mg), in a single-tablet regimen (Eviplera®) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV)-coinfected subjects.

The primary objective of this study is to describe the safety of the combination of Daklinza (daclatasvir) and Sunvepra (asunaprevir) when used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype 1b patients in real-life conditions when used according to its registered indications.

Thalassemics can develop liver fibrosis because of iron overload and hepatitis C infection. The latter is the main risk factor for liver fibrosis in transfusion dependent thalassemics. Excess liver iron is clearly recognized as a co factor for the development of advanced fibrosis in patients with hepatitis virus C infection. Transient elastography (Fibroscan) is a reliable non invasive method for diagnosing as liver fibrosis in thalassemic patients regardless of the degree of iron overload. There is evidence that suggests Spirulina may help to protect against liver damage, cirrhosis and liver failure in those with chronic liver disease.

This study will collect and evaluate information on the safety and efficacy of Sovaldi-based regimens in routine clinical practice in Mexico. The primary objective of this study is to assess the rates of serious adverse events/reactions (SAEs/SADRs) and adverse events/reactions (AEs/ADRs) in adult participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection treated with Sovaldi in routine clinical practice.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) chronic infection affects 200 million people worldwide. HCV antiviral treatment has evolved rapidly since 2011. The use of pegylated interferon (PEG-INF) with ribavirin (RBV) has supposed high serious adverse events (SAEs) and low efficacy, especially in patients with cirrhosis. The introduction of 1st generation protease inhibitors (PIs) in genotype-1 (GT1) HCV, such as boceprevir (BOC) and telaprevir (TVR), improved the efficacy but increased the SAEs. Currently, interferon-free direct-acting antivirals (IF-DAAs) achieve great effectiveness with minimum SAEs. However, studies evaluating efficacy and safety of DAAs in cirrhotic patients are limited in real clinical practice. The aim of our study is to evaluate in HCV-cirrhotic patients the efficacy and safety of 3 treatment strategies (PEG-IFN/RBV, PEG-IFN/RBV/PIs, and IF-DAAs) in routine practice according to European guidelines from 2010 to 2015. The secondary aim is to evaluate the impact of sustained virological response on gastroesophageal varices (GOV).

Since success of the combination therapy with PEG-IFN and RBV is contingent on maintaining adequate doses of both drugs throughout the treatment period, the emergence of hematological side effects is expected and requires intervention. The hematological adverse effects lead to a trade-off between continuing the treatment with optimal dosage, to clear the virus, exacerbating thereby the side effects versus decreasing dosage to relieve severe anemia, reducing thereby the chances of achieving sustained virological response (SVR). Therefore, we aimed at giving Folic acid® and Neurobion® to HCV-infected patients during treatment with different types of PEG-IFN plus ribavirin in an attempt to evaluate its efficacy and safety as a prophylactic treatment to prevent hematological adverse effects. Preventing adverse effects without interfering with the therapeutic efficacy of different types of PEG-IFN plus ribavirin in HCV patients will lead to better health outcomes and improvement in their quality of life (HRQOL).

The purpose of this study To evaluate the safety and efficacy of PRI-724 administration in patients with cirrhosis due to hepatitis C by 12-month follow-up.

The study is being conducted for the following reasons: To determine the prevalence, course, and predictors of poor Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) outcomes associated with living donor donation. To collect data and biosamples prior to, during, and after a living donor liver transplant (LDLT) among all donors and recipients for use by other adult-to-adult living donor liver transplant studies and future studies. To study the effects of pressure and flow on the outcomes of LDLT. To characterize the differences between living donor liver transplant and deceased donor liver transplant in terms of recipient post-transplant outcomes including patient and graft survival, surgical morbidity, and resource utilization. To compare the long-term histological outcomes in recipients of LDLT and deceased donor liver transplant (DDLT) with recurrent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. To understand the history of pain management and to measure quality of care in pain control in living donors following partial hepatectomy.

This prospective observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of peginterferon alfa-2a in combination with ribavirin in participants with chronic hepatitis C, including participants with compensated liver cirrhosis, in clinical practice.
