Filter by:The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir with ribavirin used for participants infected with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 2 in daily practice in Japan.
Depression is one of the most common psychiatric diseases, with prevalence estimates ranging from 5% to 20%. Depression is now recognized as a brain disease; it can be managed and treated effectively with a wide range of options, but its biological basis is still far from clear. Studies of monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs suggest polygenic inheritance, with an overall heritability estimate between 40% and 70 %. Gene-environment interaction has been recognized for a long time in the pathophysiology of depression, and its best biological substratum at present is represented by the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) gene. It would be interesting to study association between the novel allelic variants or at least the triallelic 5-HTTLPR polymorphism and depression. Depression is common in patients with end-stage renal disease and to occur in about 20% to 30% of hemodialysis patients. Interferon-induced depression is estimated up to 50% among patients with hepatitis C. Several sets of observations support the supposition that cytokines, and proinflammatory cytokines in particular, are involved in depressive disorders. Depression sufferers have been reported to have elevated blood levels of interleukin 1 (IL-1), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α).
This study is a phase IV, open-label, single arm, multicentre study whose aim is to assess whether interferon-free and ribavirin-free Direct Acting Antiviral (DAA) Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) therapy with grazoprevir/elbasvir, will be feasible for the treatment of People who inject drugs (PWID) with recent injecting drug use or people receiving opioid substitution therapy and chronic HCV genotype 1 or 4 infection.
This phase I/II clinical trial studies the side effects of pembrolizumab with or without elbasvir/grazoprevir and ribavirin and to see how well they work in treating patients with liver cancer that has spread to other places in the body and does not respond to previous treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Elbasvir/grazoprevir and ribavirin may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab in combination with elbasvir/grazoprevir and ribavirin may work better in treating patients with liver cancer than with pembrolizumab alone.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of co-administration of glecaprevir (ABT-493)/pibrentasvir (ABT 530) plus sofosbuvir (SOF) plus ribavirin (RBV) in hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (GT) 1 - 6-infected participants (including non-cirrhotic, or cirrhotic with compensated cirrhosis participants) who had experienced virologic failure in an AbbVie parent clinical study.
The VISN1 VA Hepatitis C Testing and Linkage to Care Quality Improvement project aims to increase the proportion of Veterans tested for HCV in those born between 1945-1965 and in vulnerable, high-risk groups.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignant liver tumor and has a grave prognosis. Obesity is an epidemic in the US.Patients with HCC and obesity are not candidates for liver transplantation, depriving them of the best option for cure from HCC. Recent studies have shown that blocking blood vessels to a particular portion of the stomach (bariatric or left gastric artery embolization) can temporarily decrease levels of the appetite inducing hormone ghrelin, and result in weight loss.The purpose of this study is to determine if Left gastric artery embolization (LGAE) in patients with cirrhosis and HCC who are not transplant candidates due to morbid obesity, leads to clinically significant weight loss with eligibility for liver transplantation.
To compare the effectiveness of a patient-centered, opiate agonist treatment (OAT)-integrated telemedicine-based approach for management and delivery of hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment to persons with substance use disorders (PWSUD) versus usual care, which we anticipate in most cases will be referral to an offsite location for HCV management. The effectiveness will be expressed through the primary patient centered and clinical outcome, achievement of viral eradication, defined as undetectable HCV RNA 12 weeks post-treatment cessation.
There is only one kind of treatment (simeprevir 150 mg + sofosbuvir 400 mg+daclatasvir 60 mg) in this study but the treatment duration may be different depending on patients' response to the antiviral therapy and whether patients have liver cirrhosis. If patients have no cirrhosis and the HCV viral load on day 2 is <500 IU/ml, patients will receive sofosbuvir, daclatasvir and simeprevir for 3 weeks, otherwise the treatment duration is 4 weeks. If patients have cirrhosis and the HCV viral load on day 2 is <500 IU/ml, patients will receive sofosbuvir, daclatasvir and simeprevir for 6 weeks, otherwise the treatment duration will be 8 weeks.
The objectives of this study are to collect and assess data related to safety and effectiveness of Sovaldi treatment regimens, per the approved prescribing information for Sovaldi, in routine clinical practice and report results to Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS).
