Filter by:The goal of this study is to elucidate the reasons why patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) would not be considered eligible for antiviral treatment. The study is conducted in common clinical practice at approximately 54 sites in Italy. Patients deemed eligible for antiviral therapy will be treated at the discretion of the physician with either peginterferon alfa-2a or peginterferon alfa-2b, both in combination with ribavirin, in accordance with approved labeling. A secondary objective of this study is to define "treatment failure" and to evaluate the reasons for treatment discontinuation.
The study is designed as a retrospective data review of medical records from participants selected from specialist secondary and tertiary care centers across the United Kingdom (UK), specializing in Hepatitis C treatment. The study is non-interventional and is designed to identify subgroups of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) genotype 1 participants in the 'real world', including the relation between subgroup characteristics and treatment responsiveness.
This is a post-marketing surveillance of patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with PegIntron and Rebetol combination therapy in clinical practice in Japan. The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination therapy. The study will also compare the safety profile of the combination therapy among elderly patients and younger patients. Post-marketing surveys are not considered applicable clinical trials and thus the results of this survey will not be posted at its conclusion. The results will be submitted to public health officials as required by applicable national and international laws.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PegIntron plus Rebetol combination therapy administered to patients with chronic hepatitis C. The study will exclude (1) subjects with HCV genotype 1 and high viral load, and (2) interferon-naïve subjects with low viral load. It is being conducted as a post-approval commitment, in accordance with the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's guideline on Good Post-marketing Study Practice. Post-marketing surveys are not considered applicable clinical trials and thus the results of this survey will not be posted at its conclusion. The results will be submitted to public health officials as required by applicable national and international laws.
Surveillance will be conducted at digestive departments of internal medicine in university or general hospitals where participants with chronic hepatitis C are generally treated. The purpose of this surveillance is to evaluate the postmarketing safety and efficacy of PegIntron Injection under actual conditions of use and to examine adverse events, serious adverse events, and adverse drug reactions.
Several psychiatric adverse events (eg, depression, fatigue, psychoses, behavior troubles, anxiety, irritability, deteriorated concentration, and insomnia) that are likely to occur during the treatment course with PegIntron plus Rebetol may prompt patients to discontinue their treatment early. The goal of this study is to assess whether a psychotherapy support program may contribute to a better adherence rate.
This is an observational, multicenter, nationwide study where information will be collected on the follow-up of participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) who have a viral response at the end of treatment with pegylated interferon alfa-2b (PEG IFN alfa-2b) plus ribavirin (RBV) administered according to the directions on the products' labeling. No administration of treatment is planned as a result of study enrollment.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the costs associated with peginterferon alfa-2b (PegIntron) plus ribavirin (Rebetol) treatment for chronic hepatitis C in the Czech Republic. Only costs associated with rescue medication, concomitant therapy, disease monitoring, and medical intervention costs recognized by the treating institution as treatment-related expenses will be included in the analysis. The study will also evaluate the correlation between hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapy-related costs with ribavirin dosing and participant history.
The role of the dendritic cells, the most potent antigen presenting cells, in the establishment of chronic hepatitis C is not established. The study aims to define whether the dendritic cells are affected by the hepatitis C virus and whether that bears an impact on the antiviral immune response they generate. The hypothesis is explored by investigating a group of patients prior to and after the initiation of standard treatment for hepatitis C with pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the change in HCV RNA during dosing with BMS-650032 and during the follow-up period in subjects with chronic hepatitis C infection
