Filter by:Molbio Diagnostics Ltd. (India) has developed the Truelab™ Real Time quantitative PCR system that is widely used in India for diagnostics of tuberculosis (TB). The system consists of two portable machines and two microfluidic cartridges and can be used in point-of-care settings. The manufacturer has recently developed a new assay that detects HCV RNA, the Truenat™ HCV RNA assay. It is a simple two-step assay for RNA extraction and amplification with a total turnaround time of 60 min, using whole blood, plasma and serum as sample types. Most importantly, the assay can be performed from a drop of capillary blood eliminating the need for venous access and blood draw and increasing its usability in the settings where phlebotomy service are not available. To date, validation of the assay was performed using archived plasma specimens and contrived whole blood specimens. FIND aims to conduct a multicentre evaluation to assess the assay's sensitivity, specificity and quantitative accuracy in freshly collected whole blood, plasma and serum specimens from target populations. The evaluation aims to gather performance data in line with the requirements set forth in the Common Technical Specifications 2009/886/EC (CTS) of the CE In Vitro Diagnostics Medical Devices Directive 98/79/CE (CE-IVDD), as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) Technical Specification Series 10 (draft) (TSS-10) for In vitro diagnostic (IVDs) medical devices used for the qualitative and quantitative detection of HCV RNA.
Hepatitis C (HCV) is a chronic infection with significant morbidity and mortality. The development of directly acting antivirals (DAA) has dramatically improved the cure rate of HCV treatment. People who experience incarceration are disproportionately infected and often involved in ongoing transmission of disease. However, despite availability of effective treatment, people who experience incarceration are often unable to access this curative therapy, and are often not readily engaged in medical care upon release. This perpetuates transmission and progression of disease in an incredibly high risk, marginalized population. Therefore, in order to effectively eliminate HCV, it is imperative that the epidemic of HCV in prisons is addressed, and that models of care are established for treatment of HCV in incarcerated individuals, both during and after incarceration. As such, the investigators propose a comprehensive model of care to engage incarcerated individuals in treatment of HCV upon release from prison. This care is provided in conjunction with collocated services to prevent HCV reinfection, including opioid agonist therapy. This pilot trial will demonstrate whether a comprehensive model of care can effectively cure HCV in recently incarcerated individuals, while simultaneously treating opioid use disorder and preventing HCV reinfection.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the drug-drug-interaction (DDI), pharmacokinetics (PK) and tolerability of HEC74647 combined with HEC110114 in healthy subjects
The project will assess the effect of opportunistically treating hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection immediately when HCV-infected people who inject drugs are hospitalized for acute care in psychiatric, interdisciplinary specialized drug treatment or somatic wards. We will compare this approach with the current standard of care (SOC), which is referral to the outpatient clinic at the medical department following discharge.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer, its survival rate ranks only second to lung cancer and it is a severe threat to human health. In Egypt, HCC constitutes a significant public health problem. Where it is responsible for 33.63% and 13.54% of all cancers in males and females respectively. It has a poor prognosis after discovery, which is usually at a late stage of disease. This had been strongly linked to the hepatitis C virus epidemic that affected around 10-15% of the Egyptian population during the last 3 decades, and was reported as the highest prevalence of HCV in the world. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms involved remain unclear. The occurrence of HCC is a complicated process involving multiple genes and steps. Imbalances in cellular signal transduction pathways, deficiencies in DNA repair regulating genes, activation of protooncogenes, inactivation of tumor suppressor genes and epigenetic modifications all promote the occurrence of liver cancer.
This study will assess the safety and effectiveness of Maviret (Glecaprevir plus Pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB)) in adolescent participants diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) in a real world setting across clinical practice in Japan.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of therapy with Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) Fixed-Dose Combination (FDC) and Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir/Voxilaprevir (SOF/VEL/VOX ) FDC in participants with chronic HCV infection.
Observational Study to check metabolic changes between two different hepatitis C antiviral medication groups. This study will evaluate the impact of different treatments on Serum lipid changes, fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin . It will determine if changes are due to different Antiviral regimens or due to different Sustained virological response rates.
The aim of CELINE is to retrieve and re-evaluate lost to follow-up chronic hepatitis C patients in the Netherlands.
The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective way to give patients information regarding hepatitis C virus infection. The investigators plan to compare the information retained by some patients who are given a brochure alone versus patients who watch an interactive video about hepatitis C.
