Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C"

Progression of liver fibrosis in patients with hemoglobinopathies is strongly related to the severity of iron overload and the presence of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Effective iron chelation therapy and HCV infection eradication are efficacy to prevent liver complications. EASL and AASLD guidelines recommend interferon-free regimens for the treatment of HCV infection in patients with hemoglobinopathies. However, data regarding the use of direct-acting antiviral drugs (DAAs) in this patient population are very few This large, observational study evaluated the safety and efficacy of standard therapy with DAAs in a large Italian cohort of with hemoglobinopathies, chronic HCV infection and advanced liver fibrosis.

Primary objective: 1. To estimate the effectiveness of treatment with FDC of Zepatier with or without ribavirin in Israeli patients with CHC and advanced fibrosis in real life setting. Secondary objective: 1. To estimate the safety and tolerability of treatment with FDC of Zepatier with or without ribavirin in real life setting in Israeli patients with CHC and advanced disease. Hypotheses: Effectiveness and tolerability of treatment with FDC of Zepatier with or without ribavirin in Israeli patients with CHC and advanced fibrosis will be similar to that demonstrated in phase 3 clinical trials.

The study will provide safety and efficacy information among patients receiving daclatasvir. It will describe daclatasvir prescribing patterns and provide a clinical profile of patients receiving the treatment in KSA, UAE, and Qatar.

Background: Treatment of some diseases can suppress the immune system. This can cause other conditions to reactivate. Recent cases have shown that hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivates in people who had already recovered from it during treatment for chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Their treatment was direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents. Researchers want to see how common this reactivation is. They want to learn what the effects are. They will study data that have already been collected. Objectives: To study HBV reactivation in people with CHC and resolved HBV infection who are being treated with interferon-free DAA-based therapy. Eligibility: Data were collected from adults 18 and older in studies that were done in 2012 and 2016. Design: Researchers will screen the records from the previous studies. They will identify participants who had HBV infection before they got DAA-based treatment. Researchers will take data from those records. This will include data on: Age, sex, race, and ethnicity Treatment and disease status Lab results Researchers will test stored samples. They will test samples that were taken before, during, and after treatment. They will check if HBV was reactivated. They will also check if other clinical outcomes occurred.

Post-marketing surveillance study to evaluate the real world safety and effectiveness of Maviret (Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir) administered under a normal, routine treatment practice by Korean patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Genotypes 1 to 6

The primary objective of this post-marketing surveillance study is to collect and assess data related to the safety and effectiveness of Harvoni® (ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF)) treatment regimen, per the approved Korea prescribing information for Harvoni, in routine clinical practice in Korea and to report the results to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). Participants will be treated as part of routine practice at Korean healthcare centers by accredited physicians.

This multi-center, observational study will examine the clinical use and outcomes of pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) alfa-2a and ribavirin combination (PEGASYS RBV) in participants with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Study visits will be scheduled for baseline, 12, 24 and 48 weeks after baseline. An additional follow-up visit at week 72 will be required for participants with an HCV genotype other than 2 or 3. Quality of life data will be collected at baseline, and at each follow-up visit.

The purpose of the study is to examine the efficacy of educational materials to promote hepatitis C virus (HCV) screening and colorectal cancer (CRC) screening uptake among adults born between 1945-1965.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is among the most common of all chronic liver diseases. HCV predominantly affects liver cells and causes the liver to become inflamed and damaged. This can lead to cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver cancer or the need for liver transplant. This study will evaluate how effective glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) is in participants with chronic HCV infection. Effectiveness will be assessed as the achievement of sustained virologic response. GLE/PIB is an approved drug for the treatment of HCV. Participants 12 years or older with chronic HCV infection will be enrolled. This is a prospective (conducted in future) study in therapy of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment-experienced participants with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. Around 67 participants will be enrolled at multiple sites in Russian Federation. Participants will receive oral GLE/PIB tablets as prescribed by the physician in accordance with local clinical practice, international guidelines and/or label. Prescription is independent from this study and is decided before providing opportunity to the participate in the study. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. All study visits will occur during routine clinical practice and participants will be followed for 12 weeks.

MaHeVi is a multicenter, cross-sectional, population-based study which will include 2500 adults in the health care centers / missions located on the 2 sides of the Maroni River. All major inhabitants of the river border between French Guiana and Suriname may participate, after an extensive communication campaign.The main objective is to estimate the prevalence and status of infection with hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), D (VHD) and HIV in the general adult population of the Maroni River, border between French Guiana and Suriname. After signing the informed consent and pre-test counseling, capillary blood will be collected on blotting paper. Participants will be interviewed on infection risk factors. Positivity for HBsAg, total anti-HBcAb, anti-HCV Ab, total anti-HDV Ab(for HBsAg positive) and HIV p24 Ag or anti-HIV Ab (confirmed by molecular biology for hepatitis and Western Blot for HIV) will inform respectively on the HBV, HCV, HDV and HIV infection status.
