Filter by:This is a Phase 1 study in which healthy volunteers and participants with chronic HBV infection will receive VIR-3434 or placebo and will be assessed for safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and antiviral activity (only in participants with chronic HBV infection).
enrolled participants were treated orally with SOF plus a fixed dose combination of OBV/PTV/r plus RBV.
Approximately 50% of patients with hepatitis C have complaints of fatigue and cognitive deficits even before the development of significant hepatic impairment.
A single-arm, single-center, open label Phase 1 study of a 12-week course of Sofosbuvir (SOF)/Velpatasvir (VEL) in 10 HCV-infected pregnant women 1 that will evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetic parameters of SOF/VEL administered during pregnancy and compare them to those of a historical cohort of nonpregnant women.
Immunisation policies have strong influences on the epidemiology of hepatitis A and B infection. In Hong Kong, vaccines against both viruses have been available through different channels and programmes in the past 3 decades. To evaluate the changes in the prevalence of hepatitis A and B in the general population, a seroepidemiology study is conducted involving a prospective cross-sectional survey followed for serology testing. Eligible members of 1327 spatially random households would be invited to join the study by completing a questionnaire and providing blood samples, either by dried blood spots or venesection, for determining the presence of antigen and/or antibody against hepatitis B, as well as antibody against hepatitis A. The main measures comprise a set of metrics on the prevalence of hepatitis A and B. Analysis would be conducted to examine the association of risk factors with the tested markers and describe the attitudes towards viral hepatitis vaccination. The results would allow us to understand the transmission potential of hepatitis A and B in the community would be influenced by the changing disease epidemiology and coverage of vaccination, which inform the development of new vaccination strategies in Hong Kong
Hepatitis C Virus is liver disease and is a leading cause of death and morbidity with around 71 million people affected worldwide. Widespread availability of highly effective direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have dramatically changed the treatment landscape of HCV with a cure rate of over 95%. In May 2019, French Health Authorities expanded prescription abilities to all physicians treating adult treatment-naive patients with HCV without cirrhosis of the liver. This study will assess the treatment uptake and barriers to treatment by non-HCV specialist in France in community-based addiction centers. Beyond these evaluations, data on health resource utilization in addiction centers, level of knowledge of both patients and providers on HCV infection and treatment, care cascade, effectiveness and safety of Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir among patients treated in addiction centers and evolution of addiction behavior after treatment are of specific interest. Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir is a drug approved to treat HCV. About 400 Adult participants with a confirmed positive HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) test will be enrolled in the study at approximately 30 addiction centers in France. All participants will attend an inclusion visit. Participants who are not prescribed Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir at the inclusion visit will have no further follow-up in the study. Participants who are prescribed Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir will take three tablets once daily. The duration of the study is approximately 12 months. All study visits will occur during routine clinical practice but there may be a higher burden for participants prescribed Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir. These participants will be asked to complete questionnaires after each visit.
To assess the prevalence of blood-borne viral infections in prisons in Belgium, screening will be executed in several prisons in Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia to obtain a geographical representative distribution. Upon informed consent screening will be performed using whole capillary blood (finger prick testing) with three different tests for HCV Ab, HBsAg and HIV. Screening will be performed first. While awaiting the test result (15-20min), the participant can fill out a questionnaire (together with the study nurse), concerning risk factors for HCV, HBV and HIV infection. This questionnaire is filled out directly online, and will be immediately implemented in the encoded database. The database is set-up according to the rules of good clinical practice. (Castor EDC software). The results will be filled out immediately by the prison staff in this database after it is filled out by the participant, minimizing the risk of displacement of test results.
This is a multi centre, two parallel arm, randomized, open-label, Phase 2a experimental study of oral Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) modulator EYP001a to assess its safety and anti-viral effect when administered to non-treated (treatment naive or off treatment) chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) patients in combination with entecavir (ETV) and pegylated interferon alpha2a (peg-IFN). An experimental treatment period of 16 weeks will be followed by a 24 week maintenance period with ETV standard of care (SoC).
Title Reaching out to the UNdiagnosed people infected with blood-borne viral infections (RUNtoBBV) Objectives 1. To study the efficacy of an outreach methodology to increase the uptake for screening, linkage to care and treatment in (active or former) people who use drugs (PWUD) Trial design Prospective multicenter interventional cohort design Number of subjects 336 inclusions (with prevalence of HCV Ab: 30%) - 168 Antwerp - 168 Limburg Selection criteria Inclusion criteria: - 18 years of age - History of/ or active drug use - Written informed consent obtained Exclusion criteria - Currently enrolled in centralized OST program of Free Clinic or CAD Limburg Endpoints The following endpoints will be compared between the centers in Limburg and Antwerp: (Main outcome in bold) Main objectives: - Prevalence of blood-borne viral infections in Belgian (former or active) PWUD: - HCV infection (number of HCV Ab+ / number of screened PWUD) - HBV infection (number of HBsAg+/number of screened PWUD) - HIV infection (number of HIV Ab+/number of screened PWUD) - Analysis of linkage to care to hepatologist/ infectiologist (number of patients who adhered to their consultation/number of referred patients) Secondary objectives: - Analysis of risk behavior/sociodemographics linked to presence of BBV infections - Analysis of uptake of anti(retro)viral treatment (number of patients started on treatment/number of patients needing treatment) - Analysis of treatment adherence (adherence to treatment consultations/total planned consultations) - Analysis of treatment outcome (total number of cured or virally suppressed patients/total number of treated patients)
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection is among the most common of all chronic liver diseases. HCV predominantly affects liver cells and causes the liver to become inflamed and damaged. This can lead to cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) and liver cancer leaving trial participants with need for liver transplant. The purpose of this study is to see how effective Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) is in a real world setting of participants with chronic HCV genotypes 1 to 6 and liver cirrhosis who have never received any treatment for HCV. GLE/PIB is a drug developed for the treatment of HCV infection. This is a prospective (future), observational study in treatment-naive (those who have not received treatment) participants with HCV genotypes 1 to 6 and compensated cirrhosis. All study participants will receive GLE/PIB as prescribed by their study doctor in accordance with approved local label. Pediatric (12 years and older) and adult participants with a diagnosis of HCV genotypes 1 to 6 and compensated cirrhosis will be enrolled in the study in Russian Federation. Participants will receive GLE/PIB tablets to be taken by mouth daily according to their physicians' prescription. The total duration of the study is 20 weeks, with a treatment period of 8 weeks and a follow up period of 12 weeks. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. All study visits will occur during routine clinical practice and participants will be followed for 12 weeks.
