Filter by: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.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir /velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) who have received a liver transplant.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) and SOF/VEL FDC and ribavirin (RBV) for 12 weeks in participants with chronic genotype 3 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and compensated cirrhosis.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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).
This is a First in Human study of orally administered CDI-31244, a non-nucleoside inhibitor (NNI) in healthy volunteers and HCV infected individuals
