The Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Study of Chronic Hepatitis C Treatment Drug Yimitasvir in Healthy Adults Subjects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of ASC16 after 3-single dose(50mg、100mg、200mg) or fixed continuous dose(200mg) in healthy volunteers.
The hypothesis was to check whether baseline anti-E1E2 antibodies could predict virological outcome in Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients receiving direct-acting antiviral treatment
The objective of this study was to assess the incidence of side effects after direct-acting antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection.
Chronic hepatitis HCV-related is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in Italy. Patients with chronic hepatitis C present a prevalence of depressive disorders higher than that of the general population; moreover, it has been repeatedly demonstrated the presence of cognitive deficits and poor quality of life. Chronic hepatitis C therapy was based on the combined use of pegylated alpha-interferons (PEG-INF), and ribavirin. Recently, new therapeutic protocols have been introduced, and while some antiviral drugs, including the first-generation ones, were used only in combination with PEG-IFN and ribavirin, the second and third generation antiviral drugs protocols are interferon-free. However, because of the high cost, the access to interferon-free protocols is only for patients with advanced fibrous stages, or with concomitant extra-hepatic HCV-related diseases, or for transplanted patients. Many side effects, such as flu-like symptoms, and psychiatric symptoms (depression, anxiety, irritability, insomnia) are common during antiviral therapy with IFN. However, in patients with chronic hepatitis C, a high lifetime prevalence of major depressive disorder, panic disorder, and brief recurrent depression have been observed, irrespective of IFN treatment and the use of alcohol and narcotics; such associations between mood and anxiety disorders and chronic hepatitis C may reflect a high prevalence of bipolar spectrum disorders. The presence of severe psychopathological symptoms requires the reduction of posology and causes high rates of discontinuation of antiviral therapy. This project represents an innovative psychiatric and neuropsychological screening program for patients with chronic hepatitis C, eligible for antiviral therapy. 1. Primary objectives: 1. to verify the medium-term impact of new antiviral therapies on quality of life, psychological well-being and cognitive function in subjects with chronic hepatitis C; 2. to verify the predictability of specific psychopathological components and specific determinants on compliance with new antiviral therapies. 2. Main secondary objectives: 1. to verify the evidence of association between various psychiatric disorders and cognitive deficits and chronic hepatitis C; 2. to evaluate the relative weight of psychopathological and/or cognitive disorders on the efficacy of antiviral therapy and on quality of life.
Use of Ribavirin could affect hematologic profile of the patients negatively. With advent of new antiviral therapy, the preexisting hematologic changes may alter or corrected after treatment. However, this point is still not properly studied.
Objectives: The general objective of the present project is to gain a better understanding of disease outcome in cACLD patients treated with the new oral DAA. In particular, the project will focus on: - To evaluate the long term prognosis of patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) who achieve sustained virological response (SVR) after the new oral direct-acting antiviral agents (DAA), and determine clinical and elastographic basal and follow-up parameters to identify low and high risk groups of developing liver-related decompensation. Methods: Prospective cohort study in patients with cACLD in whom basal and annual clinical features and liver stiffness measurements (LSM) will be performed, and survival free of liver-related events will be analyzed.
This study has multiple parts. It will assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AT-527 in healthy subjects and subjects infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). In addition, the study will assess the antiviral activity of AT-527 in subjects infected with HCV.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is easy to chronic and can progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Direct-acting antiviral treatment can significantly improve the prognosis of the disease and the efficacy is seemingly not affected by a variety of viral factors. In addition, direct-acting antiviral agents therapy may affect the transformation of the immune cells and ameliorate the host immune status consequently. This study mainly investigated the relationship between Direct Acting Antiviral Treatment effect and the functional activity of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and natural killer cells (NK cells) in Chronic Hepatitis C.
