Filter by:Chronic viral hepatitis C is a public health problem and several management recommendations are available. According to the French High Authority of Health, hepatitis C screening consists of a targeted screening of people at risk of infection by the virus, in particular drug users, people from countries with a high prevalence of the virus or who have received care in those countries, people transfused before 1992, or people who are or have beenincarcerated . French government recommendations aim to achieve elimination of hepatitis C virus HCV (as early as 2025) and since April 2018 the European Hospital Marseille is engaged in this battle and organizes every year "the day without hepatitis" in the hospital. Since 2017, direct-acting antiviral treatments have become available in France to all patients infected with HCV, regardless of the degree of severity of their disease. These treatments are effective in more than 95% of cases and, in 2019, 18,000 people were cured. As of today, it is estimated that there are still 110,000 people likely to be treated in France. Among them, 75,000 are unaware of being HCV positive, people who need to be tested. With one of the largest volumes of digestive endoscopic examinations in France, the European Hospital Marseille may be a significant source of screening for hepatitis C. Our study proposes to evaluate hepatitis C screening in consenting patients hospitalized in the endoscopy department at the European Hospital Marseille.
The investigators aim to assess the effectiveness and safety of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir (SOF/VEL/VOX) for 12 weeks in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients who fail to prior NS5A-containing DAA regimens and HCV genotype 1a and 3 patients who fail to prior non-NS5A-containing DAA regimen in Taiwan on a basis of a multicenter observational study.
In France, a breast cancer screening is organized since 2004 for women aged 50-74. On the other hand, even though the seroprevalence of hepatitis C in the general French population is less than 1%, it is estimated that more than 75,000 people live with the virus without knowing it. To answer the WHO objective of eliminating hepatitis C by 2030 and in France by 2025, the investigators need to organize targeted screening. Women aged more than 50 years old, by their possible antecedents in life, are an exposed population. The investigators propose to pair the already organized breast cancer screening with a hepatitis-screening test by rapid diagnostic orientation test (TROD) and evaluate the adherence of women in this paired screening. For women with positive TROD, a specialized care will be organized.
In order to tackle the unmet needs in chronic HBV infection, a consortium of clinical partners has gathered to establish a registry for patients with hepatitis B mono- and co-infections. The partners will build up a European-wide registry to be able to stratify patients for upcoming clinical trials. Extensive analyses of virus and host-specific parameters are to be carried out from these patients. The knowledge gained thereby should contribute to a better understanding of the HBV control and enable patient stratification with regard to immunomodulatory therapies. Furthermore, hepatitis B patients are to be identified who are willing to participate in future studies to investigate immunotherapies to cure HBV infections (e.g. therapeutic vaccines).
The National Australian HCV Point-of-Care Testing Program will establish an observational cohort to evaluate whether scale-up of finger-stick point-of-care HCV testing increases diagnosis and treatment for HCV infection. Participants will be recruited from settings providing services to people with a risk factor for the acquisition of HCV infection (including drug treatment clinics, needle and syringe programs, homelessness settings, mental health services, prisons, and mobile outreach). Participants will attend a single visit to have their HCV RNA status tested and complete a self-administered survey. Participants will not receive treatment as a part of this study. Participants who are HCV RNA positive will be linked to standard of care.
Eligible participants will be asked to take a placebo/treatment capsule for 90 days and participate in two in-person study visits, one at the start of the 90 days and the second at the completion of study supplement administration. Both visits will include a physical exam, clinical labs, body composition measurements, muscle strength tests, questionnaires, and urine and stool collections. Additionally, a sugar cocktail will be consumed to measure gut permeability and a muscle biopsy will be collected. The day after the visits, you will need to return to drop off the 24-hour urine collection. Two phone visits will be performed in between the in-person visits at day 30 and 60 where you will be asked a series of questionnaires as well as asked about study supplement compliance.
The QuickStart study aims to assess the impact of three models of HCV care on HCV treatment uptake and cure among people who inject drugs. Rapid point-of-care (POC) HCV testing and test-and-treat strategies will be utilised in primary health care settings across Australia.
This is a single center, randomized, parallel assignment, and double-blind placebo-controlled pilot study to characterize the intestinal microbiome in patients with severe Alcoholic Hepatitis (SAH) and evaluate the safety and the trends in improvement of diversity of intestinal microbiome following administration of lyophilized capsules containing microbiota suspension from well screened health donors. The study aims to enroll 50 patients with SAH who will be randomly assigned in 1:1 where 25 patients will be assigned to receive orally administered lyophilized PRIM-DJ2727 and Standard of Care (SOC) and the other 25 patients will be assigned to receive placebo and SOC for 4 weeks.
Subjects can be classified into two groups, Group 1 include non-cirrhotic patients, Group 2 include cirrhotic patients. All the patients will be received prophylactically TAF for 4 weeks before using SOF/VEL once daily for 12 weeks. In total, Group 1 patients will be discontinued TAF once daily therapy at the end of week 28 if no HBV reactivation occurs during treatment , Group 2 patients will be received TAF once daily for 64 weeks. In this study, after week 64, Group 2 patients will continue NUC treatment but pay by themselves. For those who is GT3 cirrhosis patients, RBV added simultaneously with SOF/VEL for 12 weeks. For patients weighing < 75 kg, the dose is 500 mg twice; for patients weighing ≥ 75 kg, the dose is 600 mg twice.
This prospective cohort study aims to provide the evidence-based clinical guide to help decide the revaccination doses of hepatitis B vaccine that the high-risk young adults without hepatitis B seroprotective antibodies (anti-HBs titer<10 mIU/mL) need to take.
