Filter by:Hepatitis C virus is commona viral infection. Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) oral drugs has been used in treatment of HCVs. the effect of these drugs on male infertility is still under investigation.
The objective of this study was the collection and testing of clinical samples to determine the clinical performance in terms of diagnostic accuracy measured by specificity and sensitivity of the Access anti-Hepatitis C Virus (anti-HCV) assay on the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer. The Design Input Document (DID) indicates performance requirements and minimum target enrollment numbers (based on those in the CTS) of blood donor, hospitalized patient and known HCV antibody (Ab) positive samples for novel anti-HCV assays. A secondary objective was to determine the false initial reactive rate (IRR) of the Access anti-HCV assay.
To evaluate the safety and feasibility of transplanting kidneys from Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected donors into recipients without HCV infection
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Ravidasvir in combination with Danoprevir/r and ribavirin(RBV) by sustain virologic response 12 (SVR12), in treatment-naive, non-cirrhotic, chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 infected patients.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of single dose of Ravidasvir and Danoprevir/r and repeated doses of Ravidasvir in combination with Danoprevir/r in healthy volunteers.
The study will enroll well-compensated cirrhotic as well as non-cirrhotic subjects treatment experienced with an NS5a Inhibitor + sofosbuvir and will include patients who did not complete the prescribed duration due to adverse event or any reason other than for non/poor compliance. Subjects will be randomized to 12 or 16 weeks of treatment.
This prospective study was conducted at Ain Shams University Hospital, Internal Medicine, Hepatology and Gastroenterology Department, and Tropical Medicine Department. To compare the efficacy of the combination of sofosbuvir and simeprevir for 12 weeks with the combination of sofosbuvir and ribavirin for 24 weeks in Egyptian patients with HCV-related Child A cirrhosis.
Approximately half of the patients receiving treatment for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the United States have advanced liver disease. Patients with advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis who achieve a sustained virological response (SVR) to treatment and are clinically cured of HCV continue to have an elevated risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). According to guidelines from several professional societies and from the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), in particular, patients with advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis should undergo life-long bi-annual screening for incident HCC whether they achieve an SVR, or not. The number of patients who need post-SVR HCC screening has risen dramatically in recent years due to the confluence of three factors: Increased screening for HCV, which has allowed more people to realize that they have this often "silent" infection; the availability of safe and highly effective direct acting antiviral drugs (DAAs) for HCV, which has allowed a much higher percentage of treated patients to achieve an SVR; and the long duration of HCV infection in many patients, which has allowed enough time for advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis to develop. To investigate post-SVR patients in the era of DAAs and to promote HCC screening, the objective of this study is to conduct a randomized, unblinded, two-arm prospective intervention trial comparing rates of HCC screening between patients randomized to either personalized patient navigation or automated reminders (e.g. electronic or mailed). Both interventions represent improved care over current standard of care (no patient navigation or automated reminders). There is no evidence to suggest one intervention is better than the other. Healthcare providers who agree to participate in the study will be contacted to confirm the liver disease status of their patients and during the clinical trial the providers of patients in both arms of the trial will be sent reminders about the need to schedule patients for screening visits.
The objectives of the study are to determine the impact of interferon-free treatment for the hepatitis C virus (HCV) on peripheral blood immune cell phenotype and soluble immune-related proteins in blood, while controlling for genetic polymorphisms known to impact HCV-related immune responses, and to determine the impact of the therapy on the emergence of drug-resistant HCV. The study design is informed by the researchers recent investigations of patients receiving HCV treatment. About 4% of patients who had not undergone liver transplantation experienced hepatic decompensating or another serious event. There were several cases of bacterial infection and two cases with elevated markers of autoimmune processes. These events suggest that treatment altered immune responses. About 25% of patients who had undergone liver transplantation experienced hepatic decompensating or another serious adverse event. The long term goal is to understand the pathophysiology of these complications and determine whether HCV treatment can cause an immune reconstitution syndrome in susceptible patients, while improving antimicrobial defenses in others
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of 12 weeks of treatment of ABT-493/ABT-530 (glecaprevir/pibrentasvir) in adults who are post primary orthotopic liver or renal transplant with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
