Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C"

In this study, individuals without hepatitis C infection who are on the kidney transplant waitlist will receive a kidney from a deceased donor with hepatitis C infection and will be treated for hepatitis C at the same time. Treatment will include glecaprevir 300 mg / pibrentasvir 120 mg (G-P) administered on-call to the operating room for the renal transplant procedure and continued for 2 weeks post-renal transplant.

Direct antiviral therapy (standard of care) administered to chronic hepatitis C-infected patients, in two hepatology clinics, who had used intravenous drugs in the past 6 months of signing informed consent (IC). This cohort was compared to concurrently treated chronic hepatitis C patients who were not intravenous drug users, who signed IC in these same clinics. Follow-up expected two years after cure and relapse rates recorded. Primary end point was SVR rate and secondary end points included reinfection rates in follow-up period.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of navitoclax when given together with sorafenib tosylate in treating patients with solid tumors that have returned (relapsed) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). Navitoclax and sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Highly-effective, pan-genotypic direct acting antivirals (DAAs) have made elimination of hepatitis C virus (HCV) a real possibility. A minority of the population infected with HCV has access to care or been prescribed such HCV treatment. Among people experiencing homelessness in the US, and seeking care at Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) clinics, prevalence is 31%, and 70% among people who experience homeless and inject drugs. In N. America, 55% of people who inject drugs (PWID) have HCV. Austin, TX has over 7,000 people experiencing homelessness with about 20% having a substance use disorder. Treatment of HCV via DAAs is feasible and effective in primary care settings, and is as effective as treatment by specialists. Among people with opioid use disorder receiving opioid agonist therapy it's both effective and cost-effective. Treatment in the primary care setting has also been shown to be feasible and effective for people experiencing homelessness, with supporting evidence of engaging and retaining people in care. Furthermore, a novel HCV treatment model, featuring a simplified HCV treatment algorithm for front-line health care providers (primary care physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physicians Assistants), has now been published, to help increase capacity, scale-up treatment and achieve elimination. This study takes the foregoing new simplified approach one step further: Implementing this simplified algorithm for front-line health care providers in primary care settings caring for high-risk populations such as individuals experiencing homelessness and PWID. The novelty is providing treatment in diverse primary care settings, and targeting clinical sites serving high-risk populations, including people experiencing homelessness and PWID. Investigators use an implementation science approach to study the feasibility and effectiveness of the HCV treatment model in achieving HCV cure in high-risk populations. Investigators hypothesize that by training front-line health care providers on a simplified, low-barrier HCV treatment model and adapting it using a locally contextualized, protocol-driven approach, investigators will effectively scale up HCV treatment across multiple primary care clinical sites serving high-risk populations, yielding sustained virologic response at 12 weeks (SVR-12) in 75% of enrolled participants. Investigators predict theHCV treatment model to measure favorably across implementation process and outcome measures of reach, adoption, implementation, and maintenance.

Up to 150 individuals with current hepatitis C (HCV) will be recruited from mobile health clinics in rural South Carolina - sites will be selected based on HCV prevalence rates and lack of current HCV screening/treatment resources. NPs will provide HCV care through mobile health units. Participants will be randomized (1:1) to either mobile health clinic treatment as usual or virtual care coordination. Virtual care coordination designed to move people along HCV care cascade will be conducted by the Emocha smartphone platform - an adaptable platform designed by emocha to link patients to care. Using quantitative methods, associations between psychosocial factors such as homelessness, mental illness, provider mistrust, poor social support, high levels of shame and stigma with HCV outcomes including SVR will be examined. Investigators hypothesize that SVR rate among the HCV-infected individuals treated (and with follow-up SVR determination) will be 90% with the Clopper-Pearson 95% CI having a width of 13%.

In this study HCV negative recipients will be transplanted with HCV positive lungs. Investigators will attempt to decrease infectivity rates by performing Normothermic Ex vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP), which is an approved method of donor lung preservation, assessment and treatment, and could be an excellent platform to reduce/eliminate hepatitis C virus. Patients will be treated by the standard approved direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) if infection occurs. It is planned to enrolled 20 patients from the Lung transplant wait list in this study. Patients will be followed for 6 months. This will be a single center pilot study.

This is a Phase II/III, multicenter, multi-country, trial to assess the efficacy, safety, tolerance and pharmacokinetics of sofosbuvir plus ravidasvir for the treatment of HCV infection.

A single-arm, single-center, open label Phase 1 study of a 12-week course of Sofosbuvir (SOF)/Velpatasvir (VEL) in 10 HCV-infected pregnant women 1 that will evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetic parameters of SOF/VEL administered during pregnancy and compare them to those of a historical cohort of nonpregnant women.

There is a huge gap between the clinical efficacy and community effectiveness in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C in Taiwan. HCV infection prevails in uremic patients with the prevalence of > 10 % in Taiwan.The current study will be executed in each participating hemodialysis centers by an outreach team of HCV treaters, treating all of the HCV-viremic uremia patients and HD staffs at the same time (group therapy) in each individual HD center (Erase-C campaign) with all oral directly-acting antivirals, to ensure the rates of diagnosis, accessibility, treatment and follow-up.The purpose of the study is to demonstrate a model of care using outreach HCV treaters by implementing the concept of "group therapy" with one-size-fit-all pangenotypic DAA regimen, 12 weeks of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir, in each individual hemodialysis center (Erase-C campaign) to achieve HCV micro-elimination.

The overarching goal of the Kentucky Viral Hepatitis Treatment Project (KeY Treat) is to increase hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment access and delivery in a rural Appalachian community, which is in the midst of the opioid/hepatitis C (HCV) syndemic. KeY Treat is a clinical research study seeking to determine whether removing barriers (cost, insurance, specialist, abstinence) associated with accessing direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) for the treatment of HCV will impact health in Perry County, Kentucky.
