Voices From the Black Community: Hepatitis C Research Participation
Hepatitis CChronicThis is a one-time cross-sectional survey study of approximately 200 self-identified black or African-American patients who have had chronic hepatitis C viral infection (HCV) that will evaluate patients' willingness to participate (WTP) in health/medical research related to HCV and attitudinal factors that might be associated with WTP, such as benefits and barriers to research participation, mistrust of physicians/researchers, health literacy, and knowledge of health/research studies.

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)This multi-center, post-marketing, observational study evaluates the real world safety and effectiveness of glecaprevir plus pibrentasvir use in participants infected with the hepatitis C virus genotype 1 - 6.
Benefit of DAA Therapy in HCV Monoinfected and HIV-HCV Coinfected Patients With Mixed Cryoglobulinemia...
Hepatitis CChronic1 moreMixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) is common in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) regimens are today very effective with sustained virological response rates (SVR12) above 90%. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of DAA therapy on cryoglobulin clearance in patients with HCV-associated MC.
Impact on QoL and Cognitive Functioning of New Antiviral Therapies in Subjects With Chronic Hepatitis...
Psychiatric DisordersCognitive Impairment1 moreChronic hepatitis HCV-related is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in Italy. Patients with chronic hepatitis C present a prevalence of depressive disorders higher than that of the general population; moreover, it has been repeatedly demonstrated the presence of cognitive deficits and poor quality of life. Chronic hepatitis C therapy was based on the combined use of pegylated alpha-interferons (PEG-INF), and ribavirin. Recently, new therapeutic protocols have been introduced, and while some antiviral drugs, including the first-generation ones, were used only in combination with PEG-IFN and ribavirin, the second and third generation antiviral drugs protocols are interferon-free. However, because of the high cost, the access to interferon-free protocols is only for patients with advanced fibrous stages, or with concomitant extra-hepatic HCV-related diseases, or for transplanted patients. Many side effects, such as flu-like symptoms, and psychiatric symptoms (depression, anxiety, irritability, insomnia) are common during antiviral therapy with IFN. However, in patients with chronic hepatitis C, a high lifetime prevalence of major depressive disorder, panic disorder, and brief recurrent depression have been observed, irrespective of IFN treatment and the use of alcohol and narcotics; such associations between mood and anxiety disorders and chronic hepatitis C may reflect a high prevalence of bipolar spectrum disorders. The presence of severe psychopathological symptoms requires the reduction of posology and causes high rates of discontinuation of antiviral therapy. This project represents an innovative psychiatric and neuropsychological screening program for patients with chronic hepatitis C, eligible for antiviral therapy. Primary objectives: to verify the medium-term impact of new antiviral therapies on quality of life, psychological well-being and cognitive function in subjects with chronic hepatitis C; to verify the predictability of specific psychopathological components and specific determinants on compliance with new antiviral therapies. Main secondary objectives: to verify the evidence of association between various psychiatric disorders and cognitive deficits and chronic hepatitis C; to evaluate the relative weight of psychopathological and/or cognitive disorders on the efficacy of antiviral therapy and on quality of life.

Cohort Study of Efficacy and Safety of Interferon Intermittent Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B...
Chronic Hepatitis BThis study was a retrospective clinical observational cohort study. All patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) whose HBsAg decreased by less than 10% were treated continuously with interferon in the Department of Hepatology, Beijing Ditan Hospital, Beijing Medical University, Beijing Capital University, 2008.10-2017.4. The total interferon treatment time of the enrolled subjects was 48 weeks. The subjects were randomly divided into the following two observation cohorts: 1) patients with chronic hepatitis B treated with continuous interferon for 48 weeks; 2) intermittent interferon For 48 weeks of treatment for patients with chronic hepatitis B, the interferon treatment interval was 3 months. HBV DNA content, HBsAg/anti-HBs, HBeAg/anti-HBe and biochemical markers, serum AFP and liver imaging (liver ultrasound) were collected before treatment (baseline) and during treatment. The primary outcome measure was the rate at which HBsAg disappeared at 48 weeks of treatment. The secondary evaluation index was the 48-week HBeAg seroconversion rate. To investigate the efficacy, influencing factors and safety of interferon intermittent treatment of chronic hepatitis B.
