Filter by:This aim of the DETECT HCV linkage trial compares two linkage to care intervention strategies among (1) newly diagnosed HCV positive patients from the emergency department (ED) and (2) those patients who present to the ED with untreated active HCV. Patients who are positive for HCV and agree to be part of the study will be randomized to either clinician referral alone or clinician referral plus a linkage navigator.
The study will assess the safety and efficacy of AT-527 in combination with daclatasvir after 8 or 12 weeks of treatment.
The success of transplantation is significantly hindered by the lack of sufficient number of available donors. Many potential donor organs cannot be utilized in clinical transplantation because donors have chronic viral infections such as hepatitis C (HCV) infection. This study will test the possibility of safely transplanting organs from HCV-infected donors into HCV-uninfected recipients. Prior to transplantation, recipients will receive an initial dose of highly effective antiviral prophylaxis using approved direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir (G/P) and they will also receive ezetimibe, a cholesterol-lowering medication that also blocks entry of HCV into liver cells. They will then receive daily dosing of the same medications for 7 days after transplant. The aim of the study is to show that transplantation of organs from HCV+ donors is safe in the era of DAAs. The investigators hypothesize that rates of HCV transmission to recipients will be prevented by the use of DAA prophylaxis and any HCV transmission that does occur will be readily treatable and curable. If successful, the knowledge from this study can have a large impact to patients with end stage organ diseases by providing a large novel source of donors for organ transplantations.
This project aims to evaluate two strategies of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing compared to standard of care among people who inject drugs at needle and syringe program (NSP) services in Australia, to see if it can improve the number of people who start treatment following an HCV diagnosis: 1. HCV testing from collected dried blood spots sent to a central laboratory 2. HCV testing using a point-of-care device at the NSP site 3. HCV testing using standard of care at the NSP site
The study aims to assess the effectiveness of a community-based model of HCV mass screening associated with an immediate HCV treatment on the cascade of care among active drug users (DUs) in the city of Montpellier, France.
This study measures the prevalence of undiagnosed hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in HIV-negative men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) visiting the sexual health clinics of public health services (in dutch: gemeentelijke gezondheidsdienst, GGD), in order to evaluate if systematic screening for HCV of HIV-negative MSM attending sexual health clinics in the Netherlands is needed.
HIV+MSM (men who have sex with men) that have been cured of a hepatitis C viral infection (HCV) are at risk for HCV re-infection (5-10% per year). One intervention to reduce HCV incidence in this population may be to decrease the time to diagnosis of HCV re-infections in order to decrease the duration that these re-infected patients may transmit their HCV to sex partners. Diagnosis of HCV re-infection is followed by counseling on transmission risk in combination with prompt initiation of HCV therapy, which will prevent new HCV infections on the population level. In this study the investigators evaluate the effect and feasibility of more frequent and home-based testing for HCV on the time to diagnosis and treatment of HCV re-infections.
The investigators propose to compare the effectiveness of nontargeted rapid opt-out hepatitis C (HCV) screening versus targeted rapid opt-out HCV screening using recommended risk characteristics in multiple urban emergency departments (EDs) across the United States (Aim 1 - "Screening Trial").
This study was to assess the safety and efficacy of Seraprevir in combination with sofosbuvir administered for 12 weeks in patients with Hepatitis C (HCV) genotype1. Efficacy was assessed by the rate of sustained viral response (SVR) 12 weeks after the discontinuation of therapy (SVR12).
This study aimed to confirm efficacy and safety of KW-136, an investigational anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) drug, combined with sofosbuvir for treatment of naive and experienced adults chronically infected with HCV. Three hundred and sixty (360) non-cirrhotic and cirrhotic subjects were medicated with KW-136 60 mg daily and sofosbuvir 400 mg daily. The treatment course lasted 12 successive weeks; thereafter all the study participants entered into a 12-week treatment-free follow-up period and an additional 12-week extension treatment-free follow-up period.
