Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the progression of chronic hepatitis C patients infected by paid plasma donation,and explore the possible pathogenic mechanisms of disease progression in chronic hepatitis C.
This study will assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 16 or 24 weeks of sofosbuvir (Sovaldi®; SOF) + ribavirin (RBV), and 12 weeks of SOF+RBV+peginterferon alfa-2a (Peg-IFN) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with chronic genotype 3 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and treatment-experienced adults with cirrhosis and chronic genotype 2 HCV infection.
- The cohort will integrate clinical, genetic, pharmacogenomics, environmental, biomarkers and behavioral data in a large number of patients and will be a leading equipment for crossdisciplinary and translational research on hepatitis. - The cohort will be the main support for estimating the relative effects of treatments and for further cost-effectiveness studies on the management and treatment options in chronic HCV (Hepatitis C Virus)and HBV (Hepatitis B virus)infections.
Prospective open label proof of concept feasibility interventional clinical trial in which 60 acute HCV genotype 1 patients co-infected with HIV will receive 12 weeks of boceprevir in addition to Standard Of Care Peginterferon + Ribavirin if they show a Rapid Viral Responds at week 4. The primary hypothesis of this study is that the subset of patients with a Rapid Viral Responds after 4 weeks of triple therapy with boceprevir, peginterferon alpha-2b (P) and ribavirin (RVR4) can be successfully treated with a shorter 12-week triple therapy regimen.
Primary objective: Evaluate the prevalence of personality disorders in patients starting treatment for hepatitis C in the prison and determine their influence on the evolution of the disease.
The purpose of this open-label study is to assess the safety, tolerability, antiviral activity, genotype resistance associated with virological failure, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of two dose regimens of miravirsen in combination with telaprevir and ribavirin in subjects with hepatitis C virus genotype 1 infection who are null responder to pegylated-interferon alpha and ribavirin.
The purpose of this study is to measure intrahepatic HCV RNA levels at the time of liver transplantation in patients receiving antiviral therapy while on the liver transplant waiting list. This will eventually be correlated with the degree of hepatic fibrosis present within different geographic sites in the cirrhotic liver. Tissue samples will be obtained from the patient's liver explant as well as hilar lymph nodes. Upon the removal of the cirrhotic liver at the time of transplantation, the explant will be biopsied multiple times in different segments of the liver and preserved for viral detection studies as well as analysis of the degree of fibrosis. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) will be obtained for viral detection at the time of transplantation. Serum HCV RNA levels will also be obtained at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post liver transplantation. Study Hypotheses: - Virological relapse or non-response is higher is patients with cirrhosis due to failure of antiviral medication to concentrate adequately in a fibrotic liver having an altered sinusoidal micro-architecture - HCV may persist in different geographic regions of the fibrotic liver in part predicated on blood supply to that area and this may have an effect on overall virological response. These differences in viral persistence and detection may exist in different lobes of the liver or even within a few centimeters within the same portion of the liver parenchyma. - PBMC and hilar lymph nodes may be extrahepatic reservoirs of HCV viral persistence in patients receiving antiviral therapy and may account for virological relapse post-therapy - There may be varying degrees of fibrosis within the same cirrhotic liver which may impact on hepatic synthetic function and antiviral response to treatment.
This is a pilot, monocentric, prospective, randomized control trial looking at the use of rapid tests as a part of normal care. The investigators will be testing for hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Testing will be proposed to all persons seeking care at the Centre d'Accueil, de Soins et d'Orientation from the organization Médecin du Monde (CASO, MDM). Infection status of participants will be determined by either the standard test (ELISA) or rapid test. The choice between tests will be determined randomly. The overall goal is to determine the general acceptability and feasibility of rapid tests and to see if they can help individuals increase their awareness of infection status when compared to longer, routine methods of testing. In addition, results from these tests will allow the medical doctor to guide participants to appropriate care. All positive tests will be confirmed at a specialized hospital (Hôptial Saint-Antoine, Paris, France) and health-specific information will be obtained four months after testing.
To examine the safety and efficacy of response guided triple therapy (PEG-IFN, Ribavirin, Telaprevir) for the treatment of early chronic HCV infection.
Prospective study to calculated the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in hepatitis C virus infected patients after stem cell therapy.
