Filter by:The study is a non-randomized, single group clinical trial on monitoring hepatitis C therapy using telemedicine. Patients with chronic hepatitis C without cirrhosis will be treated with the pangenotypic regimen of direct acting antivirals sofosbuvir and velpatasvir for 12 weeks after a single visit to the clinic, in which treatment will be prescribed. Patients will be then monitored by telemedicine tools, like instant message application, telephone and video calls and by his or her primary physician when needed. Twelve weeks after treatment conclusion, hepatitis C virus RNA levels will be measured on a blood sample, indicating the cure rate and efficacy of this protocol on HCV treatment. The primary objective of the study is to address the feasibility and applicability of the usage of telemedicine tools to increase access and monitor HCV treatment with direct-acting antivirals in public health in Brazil.
Globally, about 248 million people are chronic HBV surface antigen carriers, and about 5% of them also had hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection as well. The prevalence of HBsAg in Egypt is intermediate (2-7%) . Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is an incomplete RNA virus that needs hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) to help its replication. HDV is considered a subviral particle because it depends on HBV for its propagation. Combined HDV- HBV infection produces more severe liver affection than HBV alone. HDV infection leads to both of acute and chronic liver illnesses. Acute HDV infection can occur at the same time with acute HBV infection (coinfection) or can be superimposed on the top of chronic HBV infection. About 20% to 30% of coinfections of HDV and HBV in humans develop fatal fulminant hepatitis versus 2% of patients with acute hepatitis B mono-infection. Worldwide, Hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection present in more than 15 million people and it is endemic in the Middle East . In Upper Egypt, data about the prevalence, clinical, laboratory and virological characters of Hepatitis D virus-infected patients is rare. This study aims were: 1. To estimate the prevalence of hepatitis D virus infection among HBsAg positive individuals. 2. To determine the clinical, laboratory and virological characters of HDV infected patients.
The project will evaluate cost and treatment outcomes of a simplified Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) testing, treatment and care model integrated with HIV testing and treatment among key affected populations in Ukraine.
The main purpose of the study is to compare the acceptance and viability of three strategies aimed to screen hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in a birth cohort by: a) invitation letter offering HCV screening with dried blood spot (DBS) testing at the primary care center, b) invitation letter offering both HCV and colorectal cancer (CCR) screening with faecal occult test (FOT) at the primary care center, and c) invitation letter offering self-collected screening at home for HCV and CCR.
This study assesses the impact of a hepatitis C care coordination program on rates of linkage to hepatitis C care following release from New York City jails. Adult patients (age 18 years and above) with chronic Hepatitis C infection at Bellevue Hospital Center 19 North prison clinic from July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016 will be offered participation in a transitional care coordination program. The rates of linkage of these individuals following release from jail will be compared to a historical cohort of adult patients with chronic Hepatitis C infection at the 19 North prison clinic from January 1, 2014 through June 31, 2015.
The investigators have designed a community-based intervention study to all subjects attended in drug addiction centers screened for hepatitis C virus (HCV) to evaluate the efficacy and acceptance of a telemedicine based programme versus conventional healthcare assistance
Chronic hepatitis B is a global public health problem, with nearly 700,000 deaths each year because of hepatitis B-related diseases. Recent studies have found that some patients who have used nucleot(s)ide analogues(NAs) for some period can achieve higher hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg) clearance rate(which is called clinical cure or functional cure) by using pegylated interferon. Patients who achieve clinical cure will further reduce liver inflammation, fibrosis and risks of liver cirrhosis and cancer in the future. This study was initiated in May 2018 and plans to recruit 30,000 eligible patients. The enrollment conditions are as follows: 1. according with the diagnosis of chronic hepatitis B in the guideline of China in 2015; 2.18-60 years old; 3. more than 1 year history of NAs therapy with HBsAg ≤1500 IU/ml, negative hepatitis e antigen and hepatitis B virus DNA<100 IU/ml; 4. no contraindications of interferon. For the above patients, pegylated interferon was used for 1-2 years(combined with NAs for at least 3 months).The primary goal of this study is to find out the optimal treatment for clinical cure.
The study aims to evaluate 13 different HCV RDTs (10 on-market, 3 under development) for their diagnostic performance and operational characteristics in archived EDTA plasma samples, originating from patients from different geographical regions (Nigeria, Georgia, Cambodia, Belgium) and with or without HIV co-infection.
To evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of autologous γδT cells in the treatment of advanced hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma.
