Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C"

This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will test the efficacy of a Community Health Worker/Registered Nurse (CHW-RN) HCV intervention for homeless individuals, many who are also drug users. The intervention will be designed during Phase I of the proposal using an iterative process between a Community Advisory Board (CAB) and focus groups. The CHW/RN intervention will occur over a 2 or 3 month (8-12 weeks) period depending on the Direct-Acting Antiviral (DAA) prescribed. Homeless adults assigned to the CHW/RN HCV treatment group will receive culturally-sensitive education, case management, and daily DOT delivery of DAA by an RN-guided CHW. The CHW will run a brief (20 min) weekly 1:1 education and 20 min case management session over the 8 or 12 weeks and will deliver all components of the program (which will be developed and refined during Phase I). The CHW-RN HCV intervention will be compared to a clinic-based standard of care group (cbSOC). Primary outcomes are the completion of the Direct-Acting Agent (DAA) treatment (month 2 or 3) and SVR12 Cure (month 5 or 6). Secondary outcomes are improved mental health status, decrease in substance use, and improved access to health care, and shelter stability at month 5 or 6.

A Phase Ib/IIa, Single Center, Randomized, open, Sofosbuvir-controlled, Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Access the Tolerability，Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of HEC110114 Tablets in HCV-infected Subjects

Development of preclinical translational models for chronic liver tumors and diseases study, such as spheroids cultured in autologous medium and murine xenograft models to test the efficacy of new therapeutic strategies.

Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) offers a cure to those with chronic HCV infection. For marginalized communities, linkage to care services often aren't enough to overcome barriers to accessing the medical system. For difficult to link populations, offering treatment at the same non-clinical community space may improve uptake and reduce loss-to-follow-up. The purpose of this 2 year study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of accelerated initiation of commercially available DAA therapy targeting socially marginalized communities (e.g., medically underserved, homeless, people actively injecting drugs). The study will be carried out at two community sites that perform HCV testing: (a) fixed community site and (b) community mobile site via clinical research van. Participants (n=150) who test anti-HCV positive and HCV RNA positive (chronic infection) are invited to enroll into the no one waits (NOW) Study and begin HCV treatment at point of diagnosis. All evaluation, medication dissemination, and follow-up care will take place at the project site. The investigators will estimate the effect of on-site point-of-diagnosis (POD) treatment on (1) time from HCV testing to treatment initiation, (2) completing treatment, and (3) attaining (sustained virologic response) SVR-12; overall and by study site. A secondary product will be a lesson learned guide of recommendations for implementing a POD on-site test and treat program for dissemination beyond San Francisco.

Chronic hepatitis C is a long-lasting infectious disease caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV). According to statistics by the World Health Organization (WHO), the global HCV prevalence is estimated at 2.8%, equating to approximately 185 million. Chronic HCV infection can lead to chronic inflammatory necrosis and fibrosis in the liver, and in some patients can develop into hepatic cirrhosis and even hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), endangering the health and life of patients. The development of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) since 2011 markedly improved antiviral efficacy and significantly shortened treatment cycle, making the drugs convenient for clinical use. Small molecule DAAs exert target-specific effects on proteins involved in the HCV life cycle and have been included in the treatment guidelines by leading associations for the study of liver diseases worldwide. Treatment regimen for hepatitis C - coblopasvir hydrochloride capsules combined with sofosbuvir tablets: Coblopasvir hydrochloride capsule is an NS5A inhibitor that inhibits the replication and assembly of HCV, and sofosbuvir tablet is a NS5B polymerase inhibitor. The primary efficacy results (sustained virologic response 12 weeks post-treatment, SVR12) were comparable between the phase II and III clinical studies: the overall SVR12 in subjects was 97%. The SVR12 after coblopasvir hydrochloride capsules combined with sofosbuvir tablets in genotype 3 infection with cirrhosis and genotype 3b infection with cirrhosis were superior to the results of sofosbuvir and velpatasvir tablets obtained in clinical studies in Asia (83% vs. 72%; 67% vs. 50%). Coblopasvir hydrochloride capsule and sofosbuvir tablet were approved for marketing by National Medical Products Administration of China in Feb. 2020 and Mar. 2020, respectively. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of coblopasvir hydrochloride capsules combined with sofosbuvir tablets in clinical practice after marketing.

Osteoporosis is a condition that describes compromised skeletal microarchitecture in general, with clinical signs of decreased bone mineral density. Patients with hepatitis c virus infection are at increased risk for developing osteoporosis. Identifying whether patients with hepatitis c virus infection have information and awareness about this disease is crucial. This study is aimed to investigate awareness and knowledge of osteoporosis in patients with hepatitis c virus infection.

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection represents a crucial health problem in children that greatly influence their quality of life. Many efforts have been directed toward the investment of effective drugs with high safety profiles and with oral administration for better compliance. The development of a new direct-acting antiviral (DAA) made it possible to achieve these goals.

The aim of this study is to assess the HCV screening rate in Arizona by identification of potential HCV patients/subjects through different methods of communication - text message, email, social media, radio, newspaper ads, and flyers.

Phase 2a study designed to assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of Faldaprevir and TD-6450 in combination with Ribavirin for a 12-week treatment duration in treatment-naïve participants with genotype 4 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
