Filter by:This is a prospective, cohort study in Faculty of Medicine, Zagazig University, Egypt. From June to December, 2016, investigators will follow up patients with chronic Hepatitis C virus genotype 4 receiving daclatasvir-sofosbuvir treatment regimen within the national program of Egyptian ministry of health and population. The primary outcomes are safety of the treatment and the sustained virologic response 12 weeks after discontinuation of therapy. For the secondary outcomes, investigators will measure the change in health related quality of life and investigate the genetic sequence of viral RNA of resistant patients.
The purpose of this study is to test an intervention designed to train persons who inject drugs (PWID) and are infected with hepatitis C (HCV) and HIV in communication skills to 1) promote new HCV treatment and care 2) risk reduction and 3) recruit their social network members for HIV and HCV testing and linkage to care.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) vaccine therapy in treating patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection that persists or progresses over a long period of time. Vaccines made from DNA may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells that express HCV infection.
The objectives of this study are: 1. To perform a systematic screening and evaluation of the prevalence of infection by hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the prison population. 2. To perform an adequate characterization of patients and the characteristics of HCV infection in this population. 3. To evaluate the effectiveness and security in the prison population of an interferon-free antiviral regimen. 4. To evaluate the impact of a strategy of systematic HCV treatment on the rates of persistent infection, reinfection and super-infection in a prison population, in the short, medium and long term.
NPC1L1 is a key transporter in the enterohepatic cycle of cholesterol. Initial in vitro and in vivo data show that blocking this receptor with ezetimibe results in delaying infection in these models. The investigators hypothesize that HCV has an enterohepatic cycle, being secreted in bile and reabsorbed either in the canalicular membrane or in the intestine by association with NPC1L1, following a path similar to the cycle of cholesterol in humans. To prove this hypothesis the investigators propose to assess the effect of ezetimibe treatment in HCV infected individuals undergoing liver transplantation to avoid or delay HCV infection. For this purpose, the investigators propose to administrate ezetimibe 10 mg/d for 12 weeks to 12 patients with chronic hepatitis C infection listed for a liver transplantation.
The natural history and response to therapy of chronic hepatitis B infection in West Africa are currently poorly understood. In this study, employees of the Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Board (CBCHB) and spouses who are found to be hepatitis B positive on screening will be offered enrollment. Disease monitoring and treatment will be provided following current WHO guidelines. Clinical data will be prospectively recorded for 5 years, and bio-specimens will be frozen for future analysis.
To evaluate safety and tolerability of lambda over a 48-week treatment period in HDV patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy (proportion of subjects with SVR12), safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of an 8- and 6-week treatment regimen of AL-335, odalasvir (ODV) and simeprevir (SMV) in chronic HCV genotype 1, 2, 4, 5 or 6 infected subjects without cirrhosis.
The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of 10μg/0.5ml Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccines(Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) in the Healthy Neonates.
This randomized, multi-center, Phase IV, comparative study will assess the efficacy and safety of combined peg-interferon alpha-2a (Peg-IFN-Alpha-2A) and ribavirin therapy for 48 or 72 weeks of treatment and 24 weeks of follow-up in participants with Genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C (CHC), co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1).
