Filter by:Clinical trials evaluating DAA have shown excellent rates of SVR and good safety profiles in patients with CHC infection. Real world data from TARGET, TRIO, IFI, DHCR, DALTON-C, as well as those cohorts from Japan, Taiwan and Korea further confirmed clinical trial findings of DAA in routine practice where populations are more complex. However, these populations are different from Chinese for different host and virus characteristics which limit the applicability of results to local practice. As DAA launched in China since 2017, the availability of INF free DAA treatment will likely lead to better treatment outcome in routine practice, but there are currently no data available to test the hypothesis. In clinical practice, the uptake of DAA regimen will depend on a combination of physician preference, patient's characteristics and drug access. This study will also identify how these three variables affect DAA regimen uptake. This study to 1) characterize pts receiving IFN free DAA regimens, 2) represent common practice in China, 3) describe outcome of various INF free DAA therapy, and 4) confirm registration study results.
150 GT3 or GT6 CHC patients with or without compensated cirrhosis will be recruited from five centers in China including G3a 50, G3b 50, G6 50 respectively. GT3a and GT6 CHC with or without compensated patients will be administered one pill of Epclusa each day for 12 weeks, and GT3b patients will be administered Epclusa each plus Ribavirin for 12 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy a Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) program for linking opioid dependent individuals currently incarcerated or in probation in Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, and Ukraine to opioid substitution therapy in the community after release or during their probation period.
We will determine how best to manage the hepatitis C virus (HCV) epidemic in Pakistan by measuring effectiveness of Pakistan-government sponsored current therapies, emergence of viral resistance, consequences of infection (chiefly liver cancer) and through developing models, based on incidence data, determine the proportion of people who need curative treatment to eliminate HCV, and assess whether targeting can optimise this.
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection is a global health problem. HCV mainly affects liver cells and causes the liver to become inflamed and damaged. This study will evaluate how safe and effective glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) is in adult and adolescent participants with acute HCV infection. GLE/PIB is an approved drug for the treatment of chronic HCV. Around 283 participants at least 12 years of age with acute HCV Infection will be enrolled in approximately 70 sites worldwide. Participants will receive oral tablets of GLE/PIB once daily (QD) for 8 weeks and will be followed for 12 weeks after the end of treatment. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, monitoring for side effects and completing questionnaires.
It has been described in the scientific literature that people diagnosed with serious mental disorders, such as psychosis and schizophrenia, have difficulties to access medical treatments for their physical illnesses, which produces excess mortality in this population. This project will consist of three different parts. The first will be the detection and accurate diagnosis of hepatitis C (HCV) in the population diagnosed with a severe mental disorder (SMD). It will find the prevalence of people with infection who have not been diagnosed, as well as that of people diagnosed but who have not completed treatment. Likewise, the characteristics of the sample obtained and the risk factors associated with positive cases will be analyzed. The second part of the study will consist of comparing the effectiveness of an individualized monitoring programme (NURSE-NAVIGATION PROGRAMME), carried out by the specialist mental health nurse, during the treatment of hepatitis C versus the usual health care. In order to fulfill these first two objectives, a Clinical Pathway will be opened in which the Microbiology, Gastroenterology, Pharmacy and Mental Health services of the Regional University Hospital of Malaga will participate. The third objective of the project will be to study how the presence of Hepatitis C influences psychotic symptoms, mainly negative ones, changes in daily functioning and changes in quality of life . For these purposes we will use the PANSS scale, a Quality of Life scale (the Life Skill Profile) and the Euroqol5D Health Questionaire before treatment and after verifying the effective cure of HCV. A third and final evaluation with all the study variables will be carried out 6 months after starting the treatment. In addition, the disappearance of the viral load and, therefore, the patient's cure will be determined with a new blood test.
This is open-label, randomized, multicentre study to compare the efficacy and safety of the 8-week versus 12-week of SOF-RVD combination treatment for non-cirrhotic chronic hepatitis C patients. All the recruited subjects will receive the treatment accordingly and be followed up for 24 weeks following the completion of treatment.
Given the disproportionately high risk of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the baby boomer cohort, population-based screening has been demonstrated cost effective. Compared to point-of-care testing, however, bulk health messages with coupled lab requisitions delivered directly to patients meeting screening criteria via patient portals could improve HCV screening at minimal cost.
This study will test the efficacy of a peer-education prevention intervention to reduce risky drug, alcohol, and sexual behaviors among male Tajik labor migrants who inject drugs (MWID) while working in Moscow. The peer educator intervention will be compared to a health education control intervention. Each intervention consists of 5 weekly 2-hour small group sessions. Follow-up assessments will be conducted at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the intervention. It is hypothesized that, compared to MWID who receive the health education control intervention, those who receive the peer educator intervention will have a greater reduction in the frequency of risk behaviors. Similar effects are expected for network members of intervention participants.
This is a prospective, observational, open-label, pharmacokinetic study will evaluate PK of SOF/DAC in lactating HCV-infected females at weaning or women who voluntarily decided to forego breastfeeding to initiate HCV infection treatment. Therefore, drug concentrations can be determined in maternal plasma and milk without risk to the children. HCV infected women at weaning after various durations of breastfeeding and HCV infected women who wish to initiate treatment immediately after delivery and forego breastfeeding will be recruited to start treatment under the guidance of their physician with SOF/DAC to determine M/P ratios of each of SOF, GS-331007 and DAC.
