Filter by:The interferon-free combination regimen of paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir with or without dasabuvir (ABBVIE REGIMEN) ± ribavirin (RBV) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) has been shown to be safe and effective in randomized controlled clinical trials with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria under well-controlled conditions. This observational study is the first effectiveness research examining the ABBVIE REGIMEN ± RBV, used according to the local label, under real-world conditions in Greece in a clinical practice patient population.
The purpose of this phase 3 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABT-493/ABT-530 in comparison to sofosbuvir plus ribavirin for 12 weeks in Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotype 2 (GT2) infected participants.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) for 12 weeks in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
The objectives of the study are to determine the impact of interferon-free treatment for the hepatitis C virus (HCV) on peripheral blood immune cell phenotype and soluble immune-related proteins in blood, while controlling for genetic polymorphisms known to impact HCV-related immune responses, and to determine the impact of the therapy on the emergence of drug-resistant HCV. The study design is informed by the researchers recent investigations of patients receiving HCV treatment. About 4% of patients who had not undergone liver transplantation experienced hepatic decompensating or another serious event. There were several cases of bacterial infection and two cases with elevated markers of autoimmune processes. These events suggest that treatment altered immune responses. About 25% of patients who had undergone liver transplantation experienced hepatic decompensating or another serious adverse event. The long term goal is to understand the pathophysiology of these complications and determine whether HCV treatment can cause an immune reconstitution syndrome in susceptible patients, while improving antimicrobial defenses in others
There still remains the question if hepatitis C eradication with all oral therapy will lead to a regression or cure of the low grade lymphoma. Thus, the hypothesis of this study is that oral HCV therapy will lead to a high rate of hepatitis C eradication which will correlate with a reduction of the size and extent of low-grade lymphoma. The hypothesis of this study is that subjects with hepatitis C,regardless of genotype, who have low grade lymphoma, when treated for hepatitis C without pegylated interferon will have a regression of low grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In this pilot study we will evaluate the effect of Sofosbuvir/ledipasvir or sofosbuvir/ribavirin based antiviral therapy on the course of a subset of HCV-related low grade B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Primary Objective This study will assess the safety, as measured by adverse events, in subjects receiving hepatitis C treatment. Secondary Objective The secondary objective of this study is to assess the rate of overall response of B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma defined as either as partial response or complete response according to revised international working group criteria for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Primary Endpoint Safety and tolerability of sofosbuvir/ledipasvir or sofosbuvir/ribavirin in subjects with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma will be assessed by number of adverse events and serious adverse events. In addition, the study will assess the number of subjects who had to stop treatment due to adverse events or serious adverse events. The study will also examine the number of subjects in which treatment for lymphoma had to be given due to clinical progression. Secondary Endpoints The secondary endpoint(s) of this study is to (1) Assess the rate of overall response of B-cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma defined as either as partial response or complete response according to revised international working group criteria for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. (2) Determine the rate of sustained viral response in subjects with low-grade lymphoma.
This study will examine the influence of ribavirin on the initial virological response in treatment-naïve participants with chronic hepatitis C, genotype 1. Participants will be randomized to 1 of 3 treatment groups to receive placebo, ribavirin monotherapy 1000 milligrams (mg) to 1200 mg orally daily depending on body weight or pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) alfa-2a (Pegasys) 180 micrograms (mcg) subcutaneously (SC) weekly, for 6 weeks. Following the initial 6 weeks, all participants will receive combination therapy with PEG-IFN alfa-2a plus ribavirin (Copegus) for 12 weeks. If there is an initial virological response after 12 weeks of combination therapy, treatment may be continued for a further 36 weeks outside of the study.
Phase 2 study designed to assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of Faldaprevir and TD-6450 alone or in combination with other antivirals for a 12-week treatment duration in treatment-naïve participants with genotype 1b hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
The scavenger receptor type B class I (SR-BI) is a receptor for high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and one of entry factors for hepatitis C virus (HCV). The investigators aimed to examine the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the SCARB1 gene, which encodes SR-BI, with virologic responses to pegylated interferon-based treatment in Asian chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients.
Effective all-oral medications are finally available to cure hepatitis C virus, which affects more than 4 million Americans and one-in-four people living with HIV. However, many barriers exist that prevent people with HIV/HCV co-infection from getting this curative treatment, including low knowledge, competing demands, and drug interactions with HIV medications. This study evaluates if a hepatitis C nurse case management intervention in an HIV primary care clinic will improve patient attendance to hepatitis C care and help people start hepatitis C treatment earlier. Half of the participants will receive brief case management with a nurse, while the other half will receive usual clinic care.
The purpose of this phase 3, multicenter study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABT-493/ABT-530 in Japanese adults with chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-infected, HCV direct-acting antiviral agent (DAA) treatment-naïve, and DAA treatment-experienced Japanese adult subjects.
