Filter by:The present study evaluates neurocognitive performance as well as measures of mood, quality of life, and fatigue in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection. In a prospective longitudinal study design, included patients are monitored before, during, and in the long-term follow-up of interferon-free antiviral treatment (Sofosbuvir +/-Daclatasvir +/- Ribavirin or Sofosbuvir/Ledipasvir +/- Ribavirin). Main study goals are to compare post therapy results of sustained virologic responders to corresponding pretreatment values as well as to historic interferon-treatment patients without virological response. It is expected that HCV-associated neuropsychiatric symptoms and neurocognitive impairment is - at least in part - reversible by the successful application of modern IFN-free antiviral medication.
Background: - Chronic hepatitis C is a serious liver disease. Current treatments have side effects. New drugs have been developed, but they work better in some people than others. Researchers want to learn why. Objective: - To learn why new hepatitis C drugs sometimes do not work. Also, to learn if these drugs are safe and how well they work in people with different virus strains. Eligibility: - Adults age 18 and older who are infected with hepatitis C virus genotypes 1-4 and who have either never been treated or treated previously with an interferon regimen (with or without ribavirin) that failed to clear the virus. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical history and physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests and complete questionnaires. - Participants will have a Fibroscan, an ultrasound that measures liver stiffness and other liver scans. They will have an electrocardiogram. - Eligible participants will have a liver biopsy. - Participants will be admitted to the Clinical Center. They will have a physical exam and blood tests, and complete questionnaires. - They will take the first study drug dose as a tablet taken once daily. - Participants will take the drug at home for 12 weeks. - Participants will have 6 study visits. They will have blood and vital signs taken, and complete questionnaires. - At week 4, participants will have another liver biopsy. - After their last drug dose, participants will have 5 follow-up visits. They will have blood and vital signs taken, and complete questionnaires. They will discuss their medications and side effects. They may have another Fibroscan.
Follow-up for viral activity, changes in liver function and safety in patients with no SVR24 in feeder studies
This is a Phase IV, open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the real world sustained virological response rate, subject adherence, and subject reported outcomes during and after treatment of non-cirrhotic genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C subjects aged 18 years and older, with VIEKIRA PAK (ombitasvir, paritaprevir/r, dasabuvir), with or without RBV (ribavirin).
Long Term Observational Extension Study Designed to Monitor Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of Miravirsen Sodium in Combination with Telaprevir and Ribavirin in Subjects with Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1 Infection
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of ABT-493 and ABT-530 with or without ribavirin (RBV) in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus, (HCV)-infection who previously failed treatment with a direct acting antiviral (DAA)-containing regimen.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir with or without ribavirin in US veterans with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C virus infection.
This is a Phase 3b, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the proportion of subjects achieving sustained virologic response 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12), in adults with genotype 1 (GT1) chronic HCV infection, who received treatment with ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir with or without ribavirin.
Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), is where human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) appears to have most diversified. The factors that lead to jumpstarting the HIV-1 epidemic remain unclear; mounting evidence suggests medical interventions may have contributed. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) are viruses compatible with long-term survival but with broadly similar modes of transmission as HIV. The main objective was to assess the association of past intravenous treatment with HCV and HTLV-1 seropositivity. The investigators hypothesized that medical interventions in the mid-20th century may have facilitated the emergence of HIV-1 in central Africa. To assess the association of injectable treatments with HCV and HTLV-1 infection and to reconstruct past virus dynamics, the investigators conducted a cross-sectional study of 839 elderly long-term inhabitants of Kinshasa, with serological assays followed by amplification and sequencing. Risk factors were assessed through logistic regression. Phylogenetic methods were used to reconstruct the epidemic history of HCV.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of sustained virological response in liver and spleen stiffness in patients with HCV compensated advanced chronic liver disease treated with new all oral antiviral drugs in order to determine factors implicated in stiffness change and its implications for long-term follow-up.
