Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C"

This study provides Hepatitis C virus screening to the members of the World Trade Center Health Program followed at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai born during 1945-1965, and linkage to care for those found infected. The study will also determine if exposure to human remains, blood and/or bodily fluids during the World Trade Center Health Program activities are associated with Hepatitis C virus infection. These findings would be relevant to the larger United States population, especially to persons born during 1945-1965 who are at high risk of Hepatitis C virus infection.

This is an observational, prospective, open-label, single-arm, multicenter, real-life study designed to observe the impact of paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir with dasabuvir regimen (Viekirax®/Exviera®, 3D regimen) on total daytime physical activity and fatigue in participants with HCV GT1.

The principal objective is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the PoC assay (Genedrive, Epistem) to detect HCV RNA against the reference standard of commercial real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay (RealTime HCV, Abbott) using stored heparinized plasma from patients with chronic hepatitis C and non-infected controls.

Objective: To coordinate active tracing of chronic hepatitis C patients lost to follow-up to inform them about there disease severity and treatment options. Study design: This is a prospective cohort study, which will start as a pilot study in the Radboudumc Population: lost to follow-up chronic hepatitis C patients in the region Nijmegen. This so-called lost population consists of all patients, that in the past have been identified at the Radboudumc but who are currently lost to or have been withdrawn from follow-up. The time-span of interest will be 2000-2015. We estimate that this project will retrace 100 lost patients through this search.

It has been known for many years that the heart and the liver are intimately related. There is a mutual interaction between the function of the heart and the liver and a broad spectrum of acute and chronic entities that affect both the heart and the liver. Chronic hepatitis C virus infection affects more than 3% (170 million) of the world's population.

In this international collaboration study, the research group will analyze somatic mutations of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) developed after sustained virological response (SVR) in patients treated with hepatitis C (HCV) therapy

Chronic hepatitis C infection is associated with changes of glucose metabolism end increased frequency of impaired glucose tolerance. This might be a additional risk factor for disease and fibrosis progression. The study aims to evaluate whether a therapy with direct-acting antiviral agents leading to a sustained virologic response directly impacts parameters reflecting glucose metabolism and fibrosis.

The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of fibrosis in the liver of hepatitis C patients with advanced fibrosis, using endoscopic ultrasound.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether the hepatitis C virus continues to remain unable to be detected in subjects who were previously treated with BMS-914143 and achieved sustained virologic response

The objective of the study is to evaluate the costs associated with peginterferon alfa-2b (PegIntron) plus ribavirin (Rebetol) treatment for chronic hepatitis C in the Czech Republic. Only costs associated with rescue medication, concomitant therapy, disease monitoring, and medical intervention costs recognized by the treating institution as treatment-related expenses will be included in the analysis. The study will also evaluate the correlation between hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapy-related costs with ribavirin dosing and participant history.
