Filter by:This trial will be done in participants who undergo transplantation of heart, kidney or lung at University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and receive a hepatitis C infected donor organ. In this trial, the plan is to start hepatitis C treatment just before transplant surgery and treat for a short one-week course to see if hepatitis C infection can be prevented in the transplant recipient. The plan is to perform this trial in 10 participants and if successful, the next step is to try to make it standard of care as prevention of infection is better than treating hepatitis C after discharge from transplant surgery (which is usually a 12 week standard treatment).
Immune-checkpoint inhibitors have recently become available as a new therapy for a variety of cancers. This drugs function by boosting the anti-cancer immune response, but unfortunately, may cause off-target, non-specific immune activation, resulting in liver and gut toxicity. In order to understand the development of liver immune-related adverse events we aim to collect full clinicopathological data from patients with advanced lung cancer treated with immune-checkpoint inhibitors at Blacktown, Westmead and Nepean Hospitals. Patients treated with standard chemotherapy will be used as a control group. This study aims to establish clinical risk factors that can predict the occurrence of liver immune-related adverse events in patients with advanced lung cancer treated with immune-checkpoint inhibitors. Such predictors may assist in the stratification of patients based on their risk for development liver toxicity as a result of immunotherapy, allowing early cessation/modification of treatment prior to the development of severe adverse reactions. In addition, this retrospective study will aim to determine the significance of pre-existing liver damage on the development of liver adverse events as well as establish a timeline defining the development of adverse events in the liver.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the morbidity of hepatitis C with Chinese population.
Investigators want to compare the seroconversion rates between two-dose and three-dose regimens of the hepatitis B vaccine (Heplisav B) among patients with cirrhosis, a randomized prospective study.
The purpose of this study is to assess changes in intrahepatic hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) between baseline and on-treatment liver biopsy in response to JNJ-3989-based combination treatment.
Multicenter cohort study of individuals reporting behavioral risks of HIV acquisition, recruited among those presenting for testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Overarching goal: to study factors associated with uptake of HIV prevention and (re)testing services in medium-sized cities in Thailand. Primary objective: To estimate the incidence of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (syphilis, chronic hepatitis B and C) among individuals presenting for retesting. Secondary objectives: - To evaluate the uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis - To assess retention in the study - To evaluate client HIV knowledge - To describe HIV prevalence and characteristics of individuals newly diagnosed with HIV - To describe characteristics of individuals at risk of HIV infection - To assess the quality of the testing and referral services.
The clinical study determines the effect of Evogliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic hepatitis B to confirm the improvement of hepatic fibrosis.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the clinical performance of LIVERFAStTM In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Tests (Fibrosis score, Activity score and Steatosis score) in NAFLD suspected patients for staging of fibrosis and for grading of inflammatory activity and steatosis, taking as reference the liver biopsy with histological classification of the elementary lesions determined according to SAF scores (Bedossa P., Hepatology 2012). The secondary objective is to assess the performance of LIVERFAStTM for the histological definition of NAFLD, including NAFL and NASH and severe NASH
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is among the most common of all chronic liver diseases. HCV predominantly affects liver cells and causes the liver to become inflamed and damaged. This can lead to cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver cancer or the need for liver transplant. This study will evaluate how effective glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) is in participants with chronic HCV infection. Effectiveness will be assessed as the achievement of sustained virologic response. GLE/PIB is an approved drug for the treatment of HCV. Participants 12 years or older with chronic HCV infection will be enrolled. This is a prospective (conducted in future) study in therapy of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment-experienced participants with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. Around 67 participants will be enrolled at multiple sites in Russian Federation. Participants will receive oral GLE/PIB tablets as prescribed by the physician in accordance with local clinical practice, international guidelines and/or label. Prescription is independent from this study and is decided before providing opportunity to the participate in the study. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. All study visits will occur during routine clinical practice and participants will be followed for 12 weeks.
In this study, individuals without hepatitis C infection who are on the kidney transplant waitlist will receive a kidney from a deceased donor with hepatitis C infection and will be treated for hepatitis C at the same time. Treatment will include glecaprevir 300 mg / pibrentasvir 120 mg (G-P) administered on-call to the operating room for the renal transplant procedure and continued for 2 weeks post-renal transplant.
