To explore HBsAg loss and kinetics during the study period 2. To assess the anti-viral effect during the study period 3. To evaluate the rate of ALT normalization
This Phase 1 Study will determine the mass balance recovery, absorption, metabolism, and excretion of [14C] Vebicorvir in healthy male subjects
This is an open-label study evaluating multiple doses of NCO-48 Fumarate versus tenofovir alafenamide (TAF).
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) disproportionally affects certain populations, including those facing substance use and mental health challenges. In the past, many individuals with mental illness were not treated due to the psychiatric side-effects of interferon. However, the development of highly effective, direct-acting antivirals (DAA) has revolutionized HCV treatment such that cure rates are >95% with 8-12 weeks of simple, safe, and well-tolerated therapy. A recent systematic review reported that across 13 North American studies, HCV prevalence among people admitted to psychiatric hospitals was a staggering 17.4% (13.2-22.6%). Despite these concerning figures, mental health facilities have not been a focus of HCV elimination efforts to date. The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto is the largest mental health facility in Canada, with a psychiatric emergency department seeing ~35 patients per day with many admitted to the acute psychiatric units for safety and stabilization. Currently, psychiatric patients screened for HCV at CAMH have a 75% 'no show' rate at the Toronto Centre for Liver Disease (TCLD), which is located less than 5km away, suggesting that referral upon discharge is ineffective. This study will be the first trial to evaluate whether it would be feasible and beneficial to initiate treatment during an acute psychiatric admission rather than referring to specialty upon discharge. The combination of broad HCV screening with rapid linkage to treatment has led to successful elimination of HCV within defined populations, so-called micro-elimination. The investigators hypothesize that HCV treatment can be effectively delivered by providers in psychiatric care facilities, which will improve treatment uptake over traditional referral models.
Currently, there is a lack of literature on programs evaluating rapid screening methods to traditional venipuncture methods for sample collection during screening for viral hepatitis. Due to the relatively low diagnosis and linkage to care rate, screening programs that provide same day results for viral hepatitis infection may improve both diagnosis and enable providers to engage patients shortly after diagnosis. This stands in contrast to the multi-visit, weeks long process that normally accompanies serum testing for hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV). A few American studies have examined the implementation of HCV inpatient screening programs; however, they are focused specifically on high-risk patient populations, the barriers to accessing care experienced by study participants are not relevant to the Canadian healthcare system context, and do not use rapid testing. Furthermore, there are few, if any, data on HBV inpatient screening programs and the diagnosis rate remains low. This project will provide key data on a rapid inpatient screening and linkage to care strategy as well as the prevalence of these viruses across different age bands within the population. Finally, the study will help determine whether rapid inpatient screening is a feasible and acceptable approach for screening and linkage to care.
A randomized controlled open-label clinical trial of ursodeoxycholic acid combined with total glucosides of paeony in the treatment of PBC with AIH features 1
This is a single patient, single center study evaluating if administration of pan-genotypic DAA therapy on day 3 (+/- 2 days) post-kidney transplant prevents the transmission of hepatitis C virus infection from an HCV-positive donor kidney to an HCV-negative recipient.
The main objective of this study is to assess the interest (linkage to care) of the Cepheid GeneXpert HCV VL Fingerstick test in Brussels among drug users or former users in contact with the Réseau Hépatite C Bruxelles organization through different partners of this network.
Viral hepatitis, especially hepatitis C, is a major public health issue. Nowadays, very few studies in France have evaluated the prevalence of hepatitis C in a psychiatric environment. In 2019, at the time of new treatments for HCV, it therefore seems essential to update the available data by estimating the prevalence of chronic active hepatitis C in psychiatric population. In addition to an update of epidemiological data, it is of high importance to assess the effectiveness of the care pathway for patients in whom chronic active hepatitis C is diagnosed, including the cascade of care, currently too inefficient despite treatments that are themselves ultra-efficient. Indeed, it is essential that once hepatitis is detected, it is formally diagnosed, then that the patient actually starts care and is adherent to treatment (take his treatment according to the prescription and until the end: this implies that the patient accepts his or her illness and understands the value of the prescribed treatments), to hope to cure the infection. In this context, the SaPHIR study will allow to test a systematic screening of patients in an adult psychiatric environment, through rapid diagnostic tests (RDT). The objective is to promote the adherence of patients, and to assess possible obstacles in order to optimize the screening (RDTs), diagnosis (confirmation of only positive RDTs by venous sampling) and care management circuits in routine practice. In addition, the study envisages a combined HCV-HBV-HIV screening, taking into account the cross-infection risk (same mode of contamination, same risk population, frequent co-infections, more severe liver pathology in case of co-infection, etc.), thus making it possible to take care of the patient as a whole. The results of the SaPHIR study can ultimately be sent to the French health authorities to improve screening and care circuits, and their coverage by social security.
This study is to investigate investigate the safety and efficacy of Double plasma molecular adsorption system with sequential low-dose plasma exchange in treating hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure.
