Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C"

Subjects are being asked to participate in this study because they have genotype 1 Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and will be taking the standard of care drugs pegylated interferon, ribavirin, and telaprevir as part of their routine care. The purpose of this study is to see if the SIMpill automated pill dispensing device can help subjects take their medications at the times the doctor has instructed them to take it. The SIMpill device is an automated pill dispensing device that records a time stamp each time the device is opened and a dose of medication is taken. Physicians can download this data and generate a precise account of when you have taken your medication. In addition, if a dose is missed, the SIMpill device can be set to automatically notify you by text message if a dose is overdue. The Simpill device is a new way to keep track of when you take your HCV medications and will also help remind you when you forget to take a dose. In addition, this information will help your doctors understand how taking medication on time effects the success of the therapy.

Hepatitis C is an important health problem in Myanmar affecting around 3% of the population. New drugs have been developed which have transformed the treatment of this disease around the world with very high success rates. Two of these drugs are now registered for use in Myanmar. In this study 200 patients with chronic hepatitis C(100 with HIV co-infection) will be assessed and started on the new treatment. We will observe them and measure treatment effectiveness and tolerability. In 24 patients extra blood samples will be taken for drug measurements to describe the effect of the drugs on patients in Myanmar in more detail.

The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in patients with chronic Hepatitis C compared to a matched control group of healthy individuals in the Sioux Falls area. It is the hypothesis of this study that vitamin D deficiency is more common in patients with chronic Hepatitis C compared to the healthy control group.

The aim of the study is to analyse data coming from two treatment centres of the National Treatment Program Centres of hepatitis C in Egypt

The purpose of the study is to determine differences in levels of serum chemokines from patients undergoing treatment with Boceprevir. The aim is to determine if non-responders have significantly different levels of chemokines than responders.

The primary objective of the study is to determine the number of adverse events (AEs) reported by chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients receiving at least 1 dose of daclatasvir (DCV) and asunaprevir (ASV) at the 2 sentinel sites and that have been reported through the Mexican Health Authority's AE surveillance system during a specified 24-month study period. The secondary objective is to describe AEs reported by CHC patients receiving treatment with DCV and ASV treated by doctors at participating sentinel sites for the National Pharmacovigilance Center (CNFV) in Mexico during a specified 24-month study period.

In order to persist in the liver, HCV has numerous nonspecific and specific strategies to overcome the immunity of the host. The crucial step in the establishment of viral persistence and chronic hepatitis is the avoidance of specific antiviral cellular immune response in the liver. Treatment with pegylated interferon alpha (IFNα) in combination with ribavirin (RBV) is the standard therapy for chronic hepatitis C is. The response to IFNα / RBV therapy depends on the effective cellular antiviral immune response in the liver. The understanding of the interaction between HCV and cellular immune response is important for the effective use of existing diagnostic techniques, the Individual control and adjustment of the current therapeutic approaches and the development of future therapeutic and immunization strategies. In this study, the investigators want to investigate cellular Immune responses in the liver of HCV infected patients and characterize the influence of these immune responses to the response to IFNα / RBV therapy.

This observational prospective registry is designed to evaluate the safety, adherence, and efficacy of prescribed, patient-administered therapy with Infergen® (Interferon alfacon 1) and other prescribed therapies in patients chronically infected with HCV. The primary endpoint for efficacy will be the SVR rate at 24 weeks after therapy ends.

This is an observational study of patients undergoing treatment with PegIntron and Rebetol for chronic hepatitis C in clinical practice in Belgium. Treatment will not be administered as part of the study. Safety parameters will be assessed retrospectively. Efficacy parameters, such as relapse rates and sustained virologic response rates, will be assessed prospectively. The objective of the study is to examine any associations between safety, virologic, histologic, demographic parameters and patient outcome (relapse rates and sustained virologic response rates).

Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma and end-stage liver disease. Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir is used to treat chronic HCV. The drug name for it is Harvoni. It is a very effective treatment, but it is expensive. Researchers have found a genetic variation that predicts how people will respond to this treatment. They want to learn more about this genetic link. It could help develop better treatments for HCV. Objective: To study if certain inherited genetic differences and other factors affect the different ways patients respond to treatment with Harvoni. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 who are members of the Kaiser Health Plan and have recently been treated for hepatitis C with Harvoni Design: Researchers will review medical records to identify a group of people who could be in the study. Participants will provide a saliva sample at home. They will get instructions and kit to collect it in. Participants will spit into a funnel until it reaches a mark on the funnel. It will be about 1 teaspoon of saliva with no bubbles. They will return the sample in a prepaid mailer. Researchers will do genetic tests on the samples. The participant data will be kept confidential. It will not be given to insurance companies. Participants will not be given any test results. ...
