Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C"

The Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics Study of Kangdaprevir Sodium Tablet in Healthy Adult Subjects.

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a blood-borne virus that damages the liver and is a major public health threat globally. Most individuals infected with HCV are unaware of it and show no symptoms until presenting with incurable, fatal end-stage disease. In Scotland and Australia approximately 0.7% of the general population has chronic HCV with 0.4% in Wales, and they are at risk of developing cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The clinical challenge is to identify those infected and bring them into treatment before the disease advances. The greatest risk factor for acquiring HCV in many countries is through injecting drug use. On the road to recovery from drug use, many will receive long-term opiate substitution therapy (OST), commonly with methadone or buprenorphine. Internationally, OST is routinely dispensed by a community pharmacist. HCV testing can be offered by GPs, drugs workers, drug agencies, social workers, community pharmacies and needle exchange sites. Once patients are diagnosed, they are referred to a hospital-based service to receive anti-HCV treatment. In this pathway, less than 10% of the OST population is tested per year, and cumulative rates of testing are less than 50% of those on OST. Highly effective Directly Acting Antiviral (DAA) treatment combinations are now available and achieve HCV cure rates in excess of 95%, with once or twice daily tablets for 8-24 weeks. The REACH HCV study will compare efficacy of an education-only HCV referral and treatment pathway against a nurse-led point-of-care device testing and treatment pathway among OST patients in community pharmacies in Scotland, Wales and Australia. Eligible participants will be treated using DAAs.

A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of glecaprevir(GLE)/pibrentasvir(PIB) in treatment-naïve participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes 1-6 infection and with an aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) of less than or equal to 1.

In a multi-center study 200 patients co-infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) will be treated with a fixed-dose combination pill combined of 400 mg sofosbuvir and 30, 60, or 90 mg of daclatasvir - depending on the particular antiretroviral treatment (ART) being used by the patient. The treatment duration will be 12 weeks for subjects without cirrhosis and 24 weeks for those with cirrhosis.

The safety, tolerability and antiviral activity of DAG181/SOF in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection

Open label phase 2a study of two week treatment with CDI-31244 and sofosbuvir and veltapasvir followed by four week treatment of sofosbuvir and velpatasvir in individuals with chronic hepatitis C (HCV) genotype 1 (GT1) infection

The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients treated for chronic hepatitis C (HCV) with zepatier (grazoprevir/elbasvir) prior to kidney transplant will have a stronger immune response compared to patients treated after kidney transplant. 25 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and HCV will be treated with zepatier and 25 kidney transplant recipients with chronic kidney disease will be treated with zepatier. Blood markers of immune function will be monitored in both groups to determine their response to therapy.

10 patients with chronic genotype 1 HCV infection and mixed cryoglobulinemia will be treated with Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir 90mg/400 mg FDC once daily for 12 weeks (naïve subjects or non-cirrhotic treatment experienced subjects) or 24 weeks (treatment experienced subjects with cirrhosis). The researchers anticipate that approximately 20% of subjects may have cirrhosis.

The objectives of this study are: To perform a systematic screening and evaluation of the prevalence of infection by hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the prison population. To perform an adequate characterization of patients and the characteristics of HCV infection in this population. To evaluate the effectiveness and security in the prison population of an interferon-free antiviral regimen. To evaluate the impact of a strategy of systematic HCV treatment on the rates of persistent infection, reinfection and super-infection in a prison population, in the short, medium and long term.

Experienced participants who had HCV GT4 infection were treated with Sofosbuvir/Simeprevir/Daclatasvir/Ribavirin (SOF/SMV/DCV/RBV)
