Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C"

Subjects who eventually undergo treatment for HCV, we will gather treatment data (start and stop dates), and repeat CB-CAP analysis at weeks 4, 12, 24 and 72 (+/- 2 week window allowed at each time point) to determine whether CB-CAPs levels predict virologic response in treated subjects. Routine laboratory data will also be collected at these time points.

Project BEST is a clinical project funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to increase treatment to opiate dependent patients with mental illness in New Haven, CT and to prospectively follow everyone enrolled in buprenorphine care for as long as the individual takes buprenorphine to track the success of buprenorphine for the maintenance of opiate dependence.

The hypothesis was to check whether baseline anti-E1E2 antibodies were correlated with the on-treatment viral kinetics and could predict virological outcome in treatment-experienced HCV-infected cirrhotic patients receiving protease inhibitor-based triple therapy.

Anemia is more frequent in patients receiving telaprevir with pegylated-interferon/ribavirin than in those receiving pegylated-interferon/ribavirin alone. The objective was to measure the impact of telaprevir on ribavirin bioavailability and to assess the concomitant renal function.

Screening, diagnosis and treatment of HCV in PWID, should be part of a harm reduction strategy. Treatment of HCV infected PWID should be delivered in a multidisciplinary care setting with services to reduce the risk of reinfection and for management of the common social and psychiatric comorbidities in this population. More frequent diagnosis, new methods that prevent loss of tracking, and access to antiviral treatment are all strategies that must be implemented jointly if the prevalence of HCV infection in our setting is to be reduced.

Use of Ribavirin could affect hematologic profile of the patients negatively. With advent of new antiviral therapy, the preexisting hematologic changes may alter or corrected after treatment. However, this point is still not properly studied.

This is a prospective, multi-center observational study in adult participants chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) receiving the interferon-free ABBVIE REGIMEN (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir with or without dasabuvir) with or without ribavirin (RBV). The prescription of a treatment regimen was at the discretion of the physician in accordance with local clinical practice and label. This study focused on collecting real world data. Follow-up visits, treatment, procedures and diagnostic methods followed physicians' routine clinical practice using a 12-week treatment regimen (four visits plus two interim data collection windows) or a 24-week treatment regimen (four visits plus three interim data collection windows) and is based on the anticipated regular follow-up for patients undergoing treatment for chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Participants are observed for the duration of the ABBVIE REGIMEN therapy and for up to 24 weeks after treatment completion.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether patient education improves Hepatitis C screening in the primary care setting.

Sofosbuvir plus daclatasvir with or without ribavirin is one of the currently recommended treatment option for chronic hepatitis C. The objectives were to identify factors associated with sofosbuvir/daclatasvir plasma concentrations variations and to evaluate their impact on viral kinetics.

This exploratory study will carry out a respondent-driven sampling exercise, where participants will identify their previous injecting partners and contact these individuals to invite them to take an Hepatitis C test. The data from participants about their injecting network will be used to construct a social network map (egonet) of the interlinking injecting networks. The numbers of individuals identified in the injecting networks will be used to estimate the size of the injecting population in Dundee. Participants will be interviewed to find out how they felt about the processes used.
