Filter by: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.
Chronic liver diseases of differing etiologies are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide [1]. Chronic liver disease progresses through different pathological stages that vary from mild hepatic inflammation without fibrosis to advanced hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis [2]. Assessment of the stage of liver disease is important for diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up both during treatment and after cessation of treatment. A liver biopsy is the oldest and most accurate method used to evaluate liver histology and the progression of chronic liver disease. Furthermore, different histological scoring systems have been developed and modified [3]. A liver biopsy is considered the gold standard for assessing liver histology [4]. During the pathological progression of liver fibrosis, excessive amounts of extracellular matrix build up; furthermore, serum levels of various biomarkers change, in addition to the appearance of new biomarkers in the serum during the different stages of fibrosis [2, 5]. Recently many noninvasive markers (NIMs) for assessing liver fibrosis have been developed, and they are frequently used in clinical practice. They have been validated in different studies, and some were found to be highly accurate in the assessment of liver fibrosis compared with liver biopsies [6-7], which have always been used as the standard reference method for evaluating the accuracy of noninvasive methods. There are limited studies documenting the cost effectiveness of non invasive markers over invasive technique. Most people with chronic Hepatitis B or C are unaware of their infection, putting them at serious risk of developing cirrhosis or liver cancer which are life threatening. Similarly patients with non alcoholic fatty liver diseases are unaware about fibrosis in liver. About 20-50% of persistent infection ends up into fibrosis and finally cirrhosis. Invasive and non invasive diagnostic methods are widely used to detect the fibrosis. Clinicians use different drugs and combinations to treat HBV and HCV infections. However, there is scarcity of a longitudinal prospective study to assess the cost effectiveness of these diagnostic measures. We planned to conduct a retrospective followed by prospective cohort study among all cases that underwent biopsy in ILBS or GB Pant Hospital since 2000 till Dec 2020 with HBV infection, HCV infection, or non alcoholic fatty liver disease. For retrospective cohort study, we will collect data from hospital information system for all patients with HBV infection, HCV infection, or non alcoholic fatty liver disease, who underwent biopsy during the period of 2000-Dec 2015. The new patients with HBV infection, HCV infection, or non alcoholic fatty liver disease who will undergo biopsy during the period Jan 2016- Dec 2020 will serve as a cohort for prospective design. We will collect socio-demographic data, clinical data, family history, personal history, medical history, anthropometry, biochemical and radiological data from each patient. We will also be conducting a cost effective analysis for various non invasive markers against biopsy as a gold standard in predicting fibrosis, both for retrospective and prospective cohorts. For prospective cohort study, after evaluation of baseline biopsy results, the cases with metavir fibrosis score (F0-3) will be followed for a period of 5 years to document incidence of development and progression of fibrosis. No additional investigation or test will be asked to the patient for the study. We will also develop a predicting model for development and progression of fibrosis.
REDEMPTION (Reviewing DAA Efficacy Managing Patient Treatment In Online Neighbourhoods) is observing and collating the treatment course, safety profile, and outcomes of patients around the world who are choosing to self import generic versions of the Direct Acting Antivirals Sofosbuvir, Ledipasvir and Daclatasvir from countries like China, India and Bangladesh.
This randomized, double-blind study will assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of a single and multiple dose(s) of orally QD administered EDP-494 in healthy volunteers (HV) and in treatment-naive subjects with GT1/3 chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of 12 weeks of treatment with the ABT-493/ABT-530 combination regimen in adults with chronic HCV genotype 1 - 6 infection and chronic severe renal impairment.
This study observes the effects of newly developed direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatments on the central nervous system (CNS) of individuals with chronic Hepatitis C (HCV). The goals of this study are to determine the CNS impact of curing chronic HCV disease with newly established DAA therapies and how HIV alters this relationship.
To determine the effect of an integrated care protocol on antiviral treatment and sustained virologic response (SVR) rates following initiation of direct acting antiviral therapies (DAA) treatments in 2011.
