Filter by:The purpose of this randomized study is to determine whether a community-based test and treat model of hepatitis C (HCV) care delivery will be superior to the usual care practice of referral to specialist clinics for the outcomes of sustained virologic response at 12 weeks after treatment and initiation of HCV treatment for persons who inject drugs (PWID) between ages 18 and 29 who are naïve to HCV treatment
In this study, individuals without hepatitis C infection who are on the kidney transplant waitlist will receive a kidney from a deceased donor with hepatitis C infection and will be treated for hepatitis C at the same time. Treatment will include glecaprevir 300 mg / pibrentasvir 120 mg (G-P) administered on-call to the operating room for the renal transplant procedure and continued for 4 weeks post-renal transplant.
To investigate the safety and efficacy of PRI-724 against HCV or HBV liver cirrhosis.
In this study, subjects that do not have Hepatitis C virus (HCV) will be transplanted with livers or kidneys from donors who do have HCV. Medications that are used to treat HCV will be given to the study subjects shortly after transplant to protect them from developing the problems HCV can cause to the liver.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the major globally cause of death and morbidity.Chronic hepatitis C is the leading cause of end-stage liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver-related death in Egypt.It could be considered a special type of metabolic diseases involving insulin resistance (IR) which accelerates fibrosis and modulation of lipid-cholesterol biosynthesis with increased risk for ischemic heart diseases.It could be considered a special type of metabolic diseases involving insulin resistance (IR) which accelerates fibrosis and modulation of lipid-cholesterol biosynthesis with increased risk for ischemic heart diseases .Increased prevalence of IR and type 2 diabetes mellitus extensively reported in HCV infections
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of direct acting anti-viral agents (DAA) therapy in chronically infected Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) patients using an individualized response guided therapy (RGT) model.
Cross-sectional study of patients consulting in the emergency room of the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM), to assess the implementation of an "opt-out" screening program for HIV and HCV and prospective follow-up for 3 months of positive cases.
This study will evaluate two novel approaches to improve access to Hepatitis C virus (HCV) confirmatory viremia testing. Both approaches are "Harm reduction site-based (HRS)" because HCV viremia testing will be initiated and test results will be provided at the HRSs. These approaches will be compared to the current standard of care (control) in which anti-HCV-positive individuals must travel to a HCV treatment centre for HCV viremia testing. The investigators hypothesize that improving access to viremia testing improves linkage to care and reduces loss to follow-up among those who screen anti-HCV-positive.
Egypt has the highest prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the world. In 2015, the prevalence of HCV RNA was found to be 7.0%.(1) The prevalence of HCV was studied in Rheumatoid arthritis in few studies(2,3), but to our knowledge, no previous work studied it in other rheumatologic diseases.
The main goals of the CARE-C study are to demonstrate the effectiveness of HCV models of care in a rural state (A) to overcome barriers to HCV treatment uptake, (B) to increase retention in care, and (C) to broaden access to care. To achieve these goals the following two systems interventions will be separately implemented: (1) Implementation of the Psychosocial Readiness Evaluation and Preparation for hepatitis C treatment (PREP-C) and related standard of care best practice PREP-C related interventions facilitated by a social worker-patient navigator team, and (2) implementation of a modified ECHO model (with one patient visit at specialty center to include PREP-C and fibrosis assessment in contrast to standard ECHO model). To test the effectiveness of our two systems interventions 600 patients will be equally distributed into three study arms representing 3 care models: Arm 1: Current Care Model (management with current interdisciplinary team); Arm 2: PREP-C Model (management with expanded interdisciplinary team (social worker, patient navigator, PREP-C); and Arm 3: Modified ECHO Model (management with expanded team in collaboration with community providers). An additional Arm 4 was started January 2021 to follow subjects experience with HCV management and treatment via telemedicine.
