Filter by:Data on the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) for other vulnerable groups in Madrid, such as homeless persons and migrants, are scarce, and it is now necessary to implement intervention and elimination plans. Vulnerable groups have poor access to healthcare and are therefore not systematically screened for HCV. On the occasions they are shown to be positive, subsequent follow-up in the health system and the possibility of cure are poor. The use of a mobile unit to approach vulnerable populations is essential for better characterization of risk behaviors and of the magnitude of HCV. The integration of healthcare personnel in mobile units enables counseling on prevention and intervention when needed. Primary objective Evaluate the impact of the HCV care cascade on vulnerable populations who gather at hot spots in Madrid (shantytowns, homeless shelters and places were street prostitution is practiced) by means of a multilevel outreach project. SURVEILLANCE: Active screening for HCV among vulnerable individuals in populations with a high prevalence of HCV will be carried out in hot spots in Madrid, namely, Cañada Real shanty town, mobile harm reduction units, institutions providing social assistance, public areas, homeless shelters and places where street prostitution is practiced. An agreement with the Madrid Council (MCC) is under way to provide social centers for HCV screening. A mobile unit will approach the hot spots following a predefined schedule. The mobile unit consists of a van adapted for the project and a car. HCV screening of vulnerable individuals will be performed by a nurse and an educator hired specifically for that purpose. Active HCV screening and prevention in vulnerable individuals should be a priority and a responsibility shared by both the MCC and the SERMAS (Servicio Madridleño de Salud). The investigators plan to establish an agreement with public health authorities to give continuity to this project and to carry out proactive HCV screening through integration with various centers and networks dependent on the MCC and SERMAS. The project will establish the foundations of integrated cooperation between an HCV clinic in a hospital setting and harm reduction units and other resources and networks dependent on the institutions mentioned above. As has been observed with other interventions, the functional objective of this project is to provide continuity of care from the institutions. Study Duration (in months) 12 months.
The Eliminate Hepatitis C (EC) Partnership project is a multi-site, multi-year project aiming to enhance and extend hepatitis C virus (HCV) care and treatment among people who inject drugs (PWID) through nurse-led models of care in the community and the prison system. The project will implement and evaluate a health service intervention to enhance HCV response by improving health promotion, offering training and education to service providers, streamlining clinical pathways, utilising data systems and surveillance and implementing the results of ongoing research and evaluation. Health services data will be used to assess the impact of the EC nurse-led support, to enhance the clinical pathway and increase HCV testing, linkage to care and treatment uptake in community and prison settings. This will include provider and client interviews and a sentinel surveillance system (ACCESS) that will track and monitor impact indicators including HCV testing, linkage to care and treatment uptake at the service and population level. Overall, evaluation data will be used to monitor the uptake of HCV treatment in PWID, monitor the effectiveness of community- and prison-based treatment program and assess the cost and feasibility of treating >1160 PWID in community-/prison-based program and assess changes in HCV prevalence in Victoria and modelling the impact of treating PWID to inform HCV elimination models in Australia and globally.
An open-label, Phase 2, exploratory study to examine the safety and efficacy of inarigivir in non-cirrhotic, hepatitis B treatment-naive subjects with chronic HBV infection.
Compare wait list mortality and time to liver, heart or kidney transplant for registrants listed to consider allografts from Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Nucleic Amplification Testing (NAT)+ donors versus those who are not . The umbrella protocol has been set up to include heart and kidney transplant recipients.
A prospective, open-label, interventional phase IV study to assess the safety of EupentaTM Inj.{fully liquid pentavalent vaccine, Adsorbed Diphtheria-Tetanus-whole-cell Pertussis-Hepatitis B (rDNA [recombinant-deoxyribonucleic acid])-Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine}
The goal of this study is to assess hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment with Zepatier (elbasvir/grazoprevir) in HCV monoinfected and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-HCV co-infected, HCV treatment-naïve or peginterferon/ribavirin-experienced patients with HCV genotype 1a, without baseline NS5A resistance, 1b, or 4 and substance use in urban, multidisciplinary specialty clinics.
Data regarding the nephrotoxicity of sofosbuvir (SOF) remain controversial. The investigators compared the changes of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection receiving SOF-based or SOF-free direct acting antivirals (DAAs).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunotherapeutic activity of cemiplimab in participants with hepatitis B virus (HBV) on suppressive antiviral therapy.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib plus nivolumab compared with lenvatinib monotherapy for patients with advanced hepatitis B virus infection-related hepatocellular carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a fixed dose combination (FDC) of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (G/P) given for 4 weeks in acute hepatitis C (HCV)-infected participants, with or without HIV-1 coinfection.
