Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of 12 weeks of treatment of ABT-493/ABT-530 (glecaprevir/pibrentasvir) in adults who are post primary orthotopic liver or renal transplant with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
Current treatments for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) have severe side effects and are very expensive. There is a need to explore effective natural therapies against HCV that are less toxic and more cost-effective. 37 chronic HCV infected patients were randomized into two groups and treated with PEG interferon plus ribavirin for the first group or Biobran, an arabinoxylan from rice bran (1 g/day) for the second group. Viremia level, liver enzymes, γ-interferon (IFN-γ) levels in serum, and toxicity were checked before and three months after treatment.
Sofosbuvir and ledipasvir (LDV/SOF) are new directly acting antiviral drugs for the treatment of hepatitis C (HCV) that are highly effective, orally administered, well tolerated and preclinical evaluations in animal models indicate safe administration during pregnancy. This project will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of antenatal LDV/SOF treatment for 12 weeks during the second and third trimester. If proven to be effective, antenatal treatment of HCV with LDV/SOF will prevent maternal HCV-related liver disease, perinatal transmission of HCV, and community transmission of HCV.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 24 weeks of Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir with Ribavirin is safe and effective in the treatment of genotype 3 hepatitis C infected patients with liver cirrhosis.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of treatment with sofosbuvir (SOF)/velpatasvir (VEL; GS-5816) fixed-dose combination (FDC) for 12 weeks in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
It is well recognized that a subset of patients who contracts Hepatitis C virus (HCV) spontaneously clears the virus. Such individuals are anti-HCV antibody positive, yet HCV RNA PCR negative in the blood. While they have not been considered candidates for live kidney donation in the past, with the recent availability of novel anti-HCV drugs with >95% cure rates, they now represent a potential pool of donor candidates, especially since the risk for transmission of HCV to the recipient is extremely low. The investigators goal is to demonstrate that live kidney donation from anti-HCV positive, HCV RNA PCR negative individuals is safe and carries a negligible risk of viral transmission to the recipient.
This study seeks to assess the effectiveness, patient reported outcomes, work productivity and healthcare resource utilization of the interferon-free regimen of paritaprevir /ritonavir (r) - ombitasvir, ± dasabuvir ± ribavirin (RBV) in participants with chronic hepatitis C in a real life setting across clinical practice populations.
This is a non-randomized, open-label, single-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of uprifosbuvir (MK-3682), the M5 and M6 metabolites of uprifosbuvir, and ruzasvir (MK-8408), in participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency (HI), participants with severe HI, and age-matched healthy control participants.
The purpose of this study is to compare the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of single doses of MK-3682B, a fixed dose combination (FDC) tablet containing uprifosbuvir (MK-3682) + grazoprevir (MK-5172) + ruzasvir (MK-8408) in participants with moderate (Part 1) and severe (Part 2) renal insufficiency (RI) to plasma PK in healthy participants.
This is an prospective open label pilot study conducted over 32 weeks. A total of 25 eligible participants who are infected with HCV and HIV will be recruited from 2 Canadian HIV Trials Network (CTN) sites (Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and McGill University Health Centre) This study is investigating the effectiveness of a combination of Elvitegravir/Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/ Tenofovir Alafenamide Single Tablet Regimen (E/C/F/TAF STR) for HIV treatment and Harvoni for HCV treatment. This study will assess the effect that the study drug has on the metabolism of sugar, the changes in fat in the bloodstream, and other metabolic changes. Metabolism is the process your body uses to get or make energy from the food you eat. This study may provide information on the impact of liver fibrosis (scarring of liver tissues) on metabolic changes before, during and after HCV antiviral therapy. Drug-drug interactions (DDI) between E/C/F/TAF and LPV-SOF have been well evaluated and no clinically significant interactions have been identified. A switch to E/C/F/TAF in the context of LPV-SOF HCV antiviral treatment preparation may be particularly beneficial because of its: 1. favorable side effect profile 2. once daily STR formulation 3. known DDI profile with LPV-SOF 4. neutral effect on liver fibrosis 5. improved kidney and bone safety profile with the use of TAF Conduct of this study is justified as it: 1. Assesses a minimal pill count and dosing frequency strategy of co-treatment of HIV and HCV using well tolerated medications with an excellent safety profile and known DDI profile. 2. Provides additional safety data for TAF in the HIV-HCV co-infected population. 3. Quantifies adherence and identifies obstacles to full adherence in this population. There is a paucity of data related to DAA adherence in licensing studies. 4. Provides real-world safety and efficacy data to support the public funding for LPV-SOF DAA therapy in HIV-HCV co-infected populations. 5. Provides preliminary data on the immunologic and metabolic consequences of HCV clearance in HIV-HCV co-infection 6. As a pilot study, the information gathered will inform the feasibility of future clinical trials evaluating novel treatment strategies for HIV-HCV co-infected patients.
