Filter by:The aim of this study is evaluate the acceptability/usage of a newly implemented model of delivery of care, namely a community-pharmacy program, to provide access to medications to treat hepatitis C (HCV), and prevent overdose and HIV, for persons who inject drugs (PWID) with HCV who are in need of treatment. Adults will be enrolled who test positive for HCV at community sites and who agree to linkage to the community-pharmacy program through the use of patient navigators. The primary outcome of the study will be the measure of the number/% of participants who are successfully linked to the community-pharmacy program and assess HCV treatment initiation, completion, and cure. In addition, other outcomes including receipt of other medications (e.g. Naloxone, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and medications for opioid use disorders), and self-reported substance use and HIV risk behaviors will also be measured.
This study aims to assess the role of ribavirin as an adjuvant to sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir combination in retreatment of chronic hepatitis C with previous treatment failure.
This study is intended to evaluate if 12 or 24 weeks of treatment with GSK3228836 followed by up to 24 weeks of pegylated interferon (PegIFN) can increase the rate of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) loss in participants on stable nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) therapy, and whether virologic response can be sustained once PegIFN treatment is discontinued. Participants will be randomized to receive GSK3228836 for 12 or 24 weeks followed by up to 24 weeks of PegIFN.
Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) infections are emerging in the Western world with a predominance of HEV genotype (gt) 3. Except for age older than 50 years, male gender, chronic liver disease and immunosuppressed status, no correlators with clinical outcomes have been identified so far. With this study, we want to examine viral factors associated with the morbidity and mortality of HEV infections in Belgium as well as find correlators with clinical outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy in terms of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels of the study intervention (that is, JNJ-73763989 + JNJ-56136379 + nucleos[t]ide analog [NA] and pegylated interferon alpha-2a [PegIFN-alpha2a]).
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy with poor prognosis worldwide. The asymptomatic of early-stage HCC may lead most patients diagnosed at advanced stages. This highlights the importance of HCC screening among high-risk populations to detect HCC at early stages and achieve better survival. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major cause of HCC in China, but the utilization of HCC screening is suboptimal among patients with HBV infection. Currently, there are no-theory based intervention, to our knowledge, has been reported to improve HCC screening decision-making and uptake among patients with HBV infection . Therefore, based on our previous systematic review, the current study has proposed a nurse-led decision counseling program to improve decision-making and uptake of HCC screening among patients with HBV infection in mainland China. Participants in intervention group will receive nurse-led decision counseling. The intervention components include 40-minute education and tailored information regarding HCC screening. At the second week, decision support will be provided through 30-minute telephone call. At the third week, another telephone call (20 minutes) will be provided to help participants identify and address barriers to HCC screening. Participants in control group will receive usual care. After the intervention and at 3-month follow-up, the study will collect data related to HCC screening uptake rates. Findings are paramount to promote informed choice in HCC screening and early HCC detection to improve survival outcomes among patients with HBV infection.
This Phase 1 Study will determine the mass balance recovery, absorption, metabolism, and excretion of [14C] Vebicorvir in healthy male subjects
This is an open-label study evaluating multiple doses of NCO-48 Fumarate versus tenofovir alafenamide (TAF).
The main objective of this study is to assess the interest (linkage to care) of the Cepheid GeneXpert HCV VL Fingerstick test in Brussels among drug users or former users in contact with the Réseau Hépatite C Bruxelles organization through different partners of this network.
Viral hepatitis, especially hepatitis C, is a major public health issue. Nowadays, very few studies in France have evaluated the prevalence of hepatitis C in a psychiatric environment. In 2019, at the time of new treatments for HCV, it therefore seems essential to update the available data by estimating the prevalence of chronic active hepatitis C in psychiatric population. In addition to an update of epidemiological data, it is of high importance to assess the effectiveness of the care pathway for patients in whom chronic active hepatitis C is diagnosed, including the cascade of care, currently too inefficient despite treatments that are themselves ultra-efficient. Indeed, it is essential that once hepatitis is detected, it is formally diagnosed, then that the patient actually starts care and is adherent to treatment (take his treatment according to the prescription and until the end: this implies that the patient accepts his or her illness and understands the value of the prescribed treatments), to hope to cure the infection. In this context, the SaPHIR study will allow to test a systematic screening of patients in an adult psychiatric environment, through rapid diagnostic tests (RDT). The objective is to promote the adherence of patients, and to assess possible obstacles in order to optimize the screening (RDTs), diagnosis (confirmation of only positive RDTs by venous sampling) and care management circuits in routine practice. In addition, the study envisages a combined HCV-HBV-HIV screening, taking into account the cross-infection risk (same mode of contamination, same risk population, frequent co-infections, more severe liver pathology in case of co-infection, etc.), thus making it possible to take care of the patient as a whole. The results of the SaPHIR study can ultimately be sent to the French health authorities to improve screening and care circuits, and their coverage by social security.
