Filter by:Recently the era of direct-acting antiviral drugs for hepatitis C treatment has changed the world map of HCV. Results in adults are promising. FDA approved only two drugs in the pediatric age group 12 to 17 years. Younger children are still on the wait list for treatment. The current study aimed to treat children aged between 3 and 12 years with half the adult dose of Sofosbuvir/Ledipasvir combination (Heterosofir).
SHARP-P is an observational cohort study investigating the effect of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy and reinfection in people with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) and recent injecting drug use. A prospective, observational cohort design will be used to enrol patients from correctional centres in New South Wales, Australia. Participants will be prescribed a direct-acting HCV medication as per the standard of care. The on treatment phase will vary dependent on the type of a direct-acting antiviral prescribed as per the standard of care. Once patients have completed their treatment course they will be followed up every 3 months for up to 3 years following the end of treatment phase. The study will aim to evaluate the incidence of HCV reinfection following successful DAA treatment over the three years of follow up. The study will also evaluate the proportion of patients with undetectable HCV RNA at 12 weeks post end of treatment (SVR12) with direct-acting anti-viral HCV therapy.
Post-marketing surveillance study to evaluate the real world safety and effectiveness of Maviret (Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir) administered under a normal, routine treatment practice by Korean patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Genotypes 1 to 6
This study is being conducted to determine safety and effectiveness of transplanting lungs from Hepatitis C-positive donors into Hepatitis C-negative patients on the lung transplant waitlist, who will then be treated with appropriate direct-acting antiviral (DAA) after transplantation.
This project aims to evaluate different approaches to increase Hepatitis C screening among primary care patients at Penn Medicine through a centralized screening outreach program. In a pragmatic trial, we will evaluate different approaches to increase completion of screening among eligible patients, including changing the default from opt-in to opt-out and incorporating behavioral science principles into the outreach communication.
This is a Phase IV, open label, single center study of OBV/PTV/r + DSV +/- RBV for 12 or 24 weeks for the treatment of chronic HCV-1 infection in a real world urban clinical setting.
This is an independent optional sub-study parallel to TARGET-HCC (NCT02954094). The purpose of Direct-Acting Antiviral-Post Authorization Safety Study (DAA-PASS) is to investigate the impact of exposure to direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) on early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients following successful HCC treatment interventions.
Aim 1: The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial comparing two strategies to promote HCV screening, follow-up testing, and treatment among baby-boomers (i.e. persons born between 1945-1965): inreach with electronic medical record alerts and provider education vs. combination of inreach and provider education plus mailed outreach and patient navigation. Aim 2: The investigators will evaluate patient navigation strategies to promote follow-up testing and treatment evaluation among non-baby boomer Parkland patients (i.e. born before 1945 or after 1965) who are either: a) HCV antibody positive but have not completed follow-up viral load testing or b) HCV viral load positive and who have not completed in-clinic treatment evaluation.
This is a retrospective study, all HIV-infected individuals followed up at the three designated HIV clinics in Hong Kong with and without HBV and/or HCV co-infection will be included in the analysis. The incidence and mortality of HCC among HIV-infected individuals with and without HBV/HCV co-infection in an Asian population will be determined.
This exploratory study will carry out a respondent-driven sampling exercise, where participants will identify their previous injecting partners and contact these individuals to invite them to take an Hepatitis C test. The data from participants about their injecting network will be used to construct a social network map (egonet) of the interlinking injecting networks. The numbers of individuals identified in the injecting networks will be used to estimate the size of the injecting population in Dundee. Participants will be interviewed to find out how they felt about the processes used.
