Filter by:The purpose of this study is to describe current rescue treatment pattern for nucleot(s)ide analogue (NA) resistance and assess the real-world treatment outcomes and health resources utilization of rescue treatments for drug resistance in a clinical cohort of Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
This is an expanded access, multicenter, national, open-label, and non-randomized study to analyze the safety of peginterferon alfa-2a in participants with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive and HBeAg negative chronic HBV. All participants will receive 48 weeks treatment of peginterferon alfa-2a monotherapy, followed by a 24 week treatment-free follow-up period. Total length of the study is anticipated to be approximately 72 weeks.
This multicenter, open-label, uncontrolled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of increasing the dose of peginterferon alfa-2a (Pegasys) in participants with Genotype 1/4/5/6 CHC and an early non-response to a standard course of peginterferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin. The study will consist of screening (4 weeks), treatment (32 weeks), and follow-up (24 weeks).
This study will offer proof of concept that scaling up treatment for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in individuals co-infected with HIV could lead to elimination of HCV/HIV co-infection in gay and bisexual men by treating prevalent infection, thereby reducing new primary infections and re-infection.
Phase 1 of this study compared the effectiveness of 3 approved DAA (direct-acting antiviral) HCV treatment regimens to learn whether they worked equally well under real-world conditions. Phase 2 of this study began early 2017 with removal of 1 DAA regimen, limiting randomization to just 2 FDA approved DAA regimens. Patients receiving HCV therapy in community and academic clinics were offered the opportunity to consent to be randomly assigned to one of three (phase 1) or one of two (phase 2) regimens and observed for outcomes. Once randomized, all medical care, laboratory testing, and any disease or side effect management were assumed by usual care conditions, and patient-reported outcomes were collected outside clinic in keeping with pragmatic design principles.
Observational study. All HIV-infected patients who have been diagnosed of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), following the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria, in the participant centers are included. Epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data are collected. The clinical and epidemiological characteristics of HCC cases will be analyzed. The efficacy and outcomes after modalities of HCC therapy will be assessed. Mortality and its predictors will be also assessed. In those cases infected by hepatitis C virus (HCV), the impact of HCV therapy on outcomes will be analysed.
Chronic viral hepatitis often leads to liver scarring - cirrhosis. If the virus is eradicated from the liver, the liver scarring and liver function often recovers. In some patients the damage is too severe and recovery does not take place. It is not yet known which patients have liver disease that is too advanced to benefit from therapy nor is it known how fast the recovery occurs. Non-intrusive dynamic liver testing (DLT) may allow us to predict the functionality of the liver post treatment and may guide us in treatment choices - for example patients who are predicted not to recover may be prioritised for transplantation. Indocyanine green (ICG) is a dye solely excreted by the liver into bile and used to measure its dynamic function. Transient elastography is similar to ultrasound and measures the degree of fibrosis within the liver. The investigators hypothesise that the use of non-intrusive dynamic liver testing pre-treatment, will allow us to delineate patients before therapy who will have functional liver recovery following viral eradication. The investigators hypothesise that monitoring changes in liver fibrosis and liver function in patients with historical viral clearance will allow an assessment of the likely speed of recovery of liver fibrosis and function - for example if all patients 5 years after treatment for viral hepatitis induced cirrhosis have 'normal' fibrosis and liver function scores the investigators will be able to conclude that recovery is complete within 5 years. The investigators will perform a study pre and post-treatment assessing liver function using non-intrusive dynamic liver testing in addition to currently-used 'liver function' scoring systems, in a multivariate analysis, to determine whether or not the investigators can identify patients who are will have functional liver recovery post therapy.
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 Grazoprevir (GZR) 100 mg/Elbasvir (EBR) 50 mg administered on-call to the operating room for the renal transplant procedure and continued for 12 weeks post-renal transplant.
This is a multi-center, prospective, randomized trial of standard of care vs. standard of care + pegfilgrastim (Neulasta®) among patients with a clinical diagnosis of alcoholic hepatitis and DF≥32.
The purpose of the study is to describe: 1) the clinical profile, past and current management of participants with hepatitis C in Brazil reference centers; 2) the current situation about demographics characteristics, liver disease progression and clinical outcomes in Brazilian Hepatitis C virus (HCV) participants naive, in treatment and previously exposed to antiviral treatment without sustained virological response (SVR).
