Filter by:The primary objective of this registry study is to assess the durability of sustained virologic response (SVR) and clinical progression or regression of liver disease including the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma following SVR in participants with cirrhosis after treatment with a sofosbuvir-based regimen for HCV infection.
This study evaluates the addition of birinapant in subjects with chronic Hepatitis B who are currently receiving anti-viral therapy with either tenofovir or entecavir. Patients will receive either birinapant or placebo in addition to their anti-viral therapy.
This study will evaluate the long term effects of hepatitis B virus (HBV) treatment on the HBV serologic changes and HBV DNA levels through Week 144. This registry will enroll only individuals who were treated in a Gilead-sponsored trial for chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
Primary Objectives: To demonstrate the safety of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® when used in extracorporeal blood purification. Secondary Objectives: To quantify the number of viral copies captured by the Aethlon Hemopurifier® during the first and last Hemopurifier treatments using elution methods developed by Aethlon Medical Inc. To measure changes in viral load in patients before and after treatment with the Aethlon Hemopurifier®.
HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are diseases that share the same risk factors and routes of transmission. For this reason, many people infected with HIV are also infected with HCV. Interferon (IFN) is a drug used to treat HCV; however, in people coinfected with HIV and HCV, IFN treatment often does not work well and can cause unwanted side effects. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of IFN-free HCV treatment in HIV/HCV coinfected adults who were taking antiretroviral (ARV) therapy.
This study will evaluate the humoral and cellular immune responses to a hepatitis B vaccine booster in healthy adults which received a full course of neonatal hepatitis B vaccination 20-23 years ago.
This study aims to determine the prevalence of HBV infection in patients with IBD and rheumatologic disease, and to assess the impact of immunosuppressive therapy on viral load and clinical course of IBD patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the supplementation of vitamins D and B12 in combination with Pegylated Interferon-Alfa and Ribavirin in the treatment of genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C, who do not qualify to receive protease inhibitor in Brazil.
Rapid tests are increasingly used in medical practice, notably to screen for HIV. Their use has been associated with a faster linkage to care and lower rates of loss to follow up. Rapid tests are also well accepted by patients and clinicians. No rapid test is currently approved in Canada for screening of hepatitis C. Hepatitis C diagnosis is done through based on blood testing and the screening algorithm may require up to 3 visits to clarify the hepatitis C status. The Oraquick HCV test is a rapid test done on blood or saliva that can replace the first step of the regular screening algorithm. With this test the initial screening and the confirmation test can be done in one visit. The primary endpoint of this pilot-project is to evaluate clinical characteristics of Oracquick HCV (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values) and to compare them to those of the standard screening algorithm in a population of active or ex-users of injected drugs. The project also intend to evaluate if the rapid test can reduce the rates of loss to follow up and increase the linkage to hepatitis C specialized care. This last endpoint will be evaluated through phone call follow up 6 months after the screening. One hundred and fifty patients will be included. Half will be tested with the standard algorithm and the Oraquick HCV test (group A) and half will be tested only with the standard algorithm. Results of group A will be used to determine the clinical characteristics of Oraquick HCV. Results of groups A and B will be used to evaluate rates of loss to follow up, costs avoided by the use of the rapid test and linkage to care of infected patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ARC-520 in combination with entecavir is effective in the treatment of patients with chronic HBV Infection.
