Filter by:This study is being done to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the drug combination grazoprevir (GZR; MK-5172) + elbasvir (EBR; MK-8742) in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (GT) 1, 4, or 6 infection and who have cirrhosis and Child-Pugh (CP) score 7-9 moderate hepatic insufficiency (CP-B). The primary hypothesis is that the percentage of HCV-infected participants with hepatic insufficiency (the CP-B population) achieving sustained viral response (SVR) 12 weeks after the end of all treatment (SVR12) will be greater than 60%. Additionally, ten non-cirrhotic (NC) HCV-infected GT1 participants will also be given GZR + EBR at the beginning of the study; this will be done for the purpose of collecting plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) data in HCV GT1-infected participants who do not have hepatic insufficiency.
This observational study will examine the efficacy and safety of Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a), mostly in combination with Copegus (ribavirin) treatment in CHC patients. Quality of care will also be assessed. Approximately 12% of the interferon-treated chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patient population in Germany is expected to be studied over a period of 5 years.
This is a 2-part study. The purpose of Part A is to assess the efficacy and safety of grazoprevir (MK-5172) 100 mg in combination with elbasvir (MK-8742) 50 mg for 12 weeks in the treatment of chronic HCV GT1, GT4, or GT6 infection in treatment-naïve participants who are on opiate substitution therapy (OST). The primary hypothesis is that the percentage of participants who receive grazoprevir/elbasvir fixed-dose combination (FDC) in the Immediate Treatment Arm and achieve a Sustained Virologic Response 12 weeks after the end of all study therapy (SVR12) will be superior to 67%. In addition, participants who received at least 1 dose of grazoprevir/elbasvir in Part A will be eligible to participate in Part B, which is a 3-year observational follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of grazoprevir (MK-5172) 100 mg in combination with elbasvir (MK-8742) 50 mg in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) in participants who are co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The primary hypothesis is that the percentage of participants who receive grazoprevir + elbasvir and achieve Sustained Virologic Response after 12 weeks of therapy (SVR12) will be greater than 70%.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and antiviral effect of ABT-450/r and ABT-530 coadministered with and without Ribavirin in adults with genotype 3 HCV infection.
This study will explore ways to improve the effectiveness of patient Self Management at a time when genetic test results guide new treatments that will dramatically increase the possibility of cure of the hepatitis C virus.The study will also focus on the interactions between provider and patients and the ways that technical work, adaptive work and adaptive leadership foster patient self-management.This proposed 2 year exploratory mixed-methods 12 longitudinal case study will explore patients' and providers' explanations for how and why they engage in technical work, adaptive work, and adaptive leadership and the ways in which these strategies promote or pose barriers to patients' self-management of Chronic Hepatitis C in the context of the new genetic test results and treatments. Specific aims are to: 1: Examine how technical work, adaptive work and adaptive leadership influence patients' perceptions of their likelihood of cure and how this work relates to self-management during 12 to 24 weeks of treatment for Chronic Hepatitis C. Research questions are: 1.1) How do patients describe their interactions with the providers? 1.2) How do these interactions shape patients' perceptions of the likelihood of cure? 1.3) How do patients' understanding of their interactions with the provider promote the use of or pose barriers to self-management during treatment? AIM 2: Describe providers' use of technical work, and adaptive leadership approaches during clinical encounters,to include nurse education visits. Research questions are: 2.1) What technical work, and adaptive leadership approaches do providers use when sharing treatment information with patients during the clinical encounters. 2.2) What explanations do providers give for how and why they use technical work and adaptive leadership approaches? AIM 3: Describe the trajectories of illness perceptions(Control/Cure sub-scale - Illness Perception Scale), symptoms (M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory) , viral load, and self-management (Patient Activation Measure) in relation to patient and provider reports of technical work, adaptive work, and adaptive leadership from the index clinical encounter to the follow-up treatment response encounter (ranging from 12 to 24 weeks).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and antiviral effect of multiple doses of ABT-493 and ABT-530 in adults with genotype 1 HCV.
This is a multi-part study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of uprifosbuvir (MK-3682/IDX21437) in healthy participants and in participants infected with Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (GT)1-GT6. The effect of food on the PK of uprifosbuvir will be evaluated. The antiviral activity of uprifosbuvir will also be assessed in HCV-infected participants.
The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety of ABT-450/r/ABT-267 with and without ABT-333 coadministered with and without ribavirin (RBV) for 12 and 24 weeks in HCV GT1- or 4-infected participants with HIV-1 coinfection and to evaluate the percentage of subjects achieving HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) < lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) 12 weeks following treatment.
Grazoprevir (MK-5172) and Elbasvir (MK-8742) were studied as the principal components of combination oral therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV). The study examined the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of Grazoprevir and Elbasvir following 10 days of dosing in participants with end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) or participants with severe renal impairment. Both groups were compared to healthy matched controls.
