Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C"

There is limited data outside of clinical trials on adherence to once daily ledipasvir/sofosbuvir regimens. Many patients present with known barriers to medication adherence including untreated psychiatric illness and substance use disorders, cognitive impairment, and low health literacy. The goal of this study is to evaluate the baseline level of adherence to ledipasvir/sofosbuvir in a real-world clinic population and compare this to the level of adherence in patients provided with additional adherence support. Medication adherence in this study will be evaluated using AdhereTech, a wireless pill monitoring device that measures the dosage and time a medication was taken. Using cellular technology, AdhereTech can be used passively to collect data on when a medication is taken, when a refill is needed, and how often the bottle is opened. AdhereTech also can be used actively to monitor adherence and provide feedback to subjects using the device. When actively monitoring, AdhereTech can be set up to provide live feedback to a subject by lighting up, sounding chimes, and sending phone/text/email alerts to remind patients to take their medication (see attached PowerPoint presentation). HepCure is a web-based tool kit in the form of a dashboard for medical providers (MDs and NPs) and an application (or "app") for patients. The app allows patients to become active participants in their treatment by enabling them to set medication reminders, record doses taken, and communicate their adherence to their medical provider using the provider dashboard.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic interactions between simeprevir and ledipasvir in a treatment regimen consisting of simeprevir (SMV), sofosbuvir (SOF), and ledipasvir (LDV) in treatment-naive participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of sustained virological response in liver and spleen stiffness in patients with HCV compensated advanced chronic liver disease treated with new all oral antiviral drugs in order to determine factors implicated in stiffness change and its implications for long-term follow-up.

A Randomized,Two-period, Crossover Study to Determine the Possibility of Drug-drug Interaction After Co-administration of Metformin and Daclatasvir Where Twenty Eligible Adult Subjects Will be Randomized to Receive Either Metformin Only and/or Metformin Co-administered With Daclatasvir to measure primary outcomes including pharmacokinetics parameters as: Maximum drug concentration in plasma(Cmax), Area under the Plasma concentration Versus Time Curve from time 0 to 12 hours(AUC0-12), Clearance(CL)

The goal of this study is to effectively use a client-centered community-based intervention to engage people who inject drugs (PWIDs) in healthcare that helps reduce risky behaviors and lower infectious disease risks. Participants in the intervention group of this study will undergo a 12-week intensive multilevel harm reduction case-management intervention at three rural Vivent Health offices geared towards reducing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and overdose risks in PWIDs. Prevention Navigators (PNs) at each office will help coordinate referrals to reduce substance use disorder and increase engagement in the substance use disorder care cascades. PNs will also engage participants in HIV, HCV, and sexually transmitted infections(STIs) care cascades.

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.

This study will use a stepped-wedge cluster randomized clinical trial to evaluate a health system initiative to set defaults in the electronic health record admission order set to nudge inpatient hepatitis C (HCV) screening.

Background: Hepatitis C recurrence, which invariably occurs in viremic liver transplant (LT) recipients, associated with accelerated liver fibrosis leading to established graft cirrhosis in 40-20% of patients in 5 years with another 5% experiencing an aggressive form with cirrhosis and graft loss in 1 year. Since treatment after LT has a low efficacy, the overall survival of HCV-infected LT recipients is shorter than that of uninfected LT patients. New immunosuppressive agents such as mTOR inhibitors (Everolimus/Sirolimus) reduce the risk of liver graft rejection, have antifibrotic properties and do not worsen HCV recurrence. Moreover new directly-acting antiviral agents have increased efficacy of interferon-based treatment but their use in LT recipients may be limited by side effects. Hypothesis: Use of individualized immunosuppressive regimen and early personalized anti-viral treatment based on recipient and viral factors would improve outcome of HCV infected liver transplant recipients. Objectives: To evaluate safety and efficacy of two steroid-free immunosuppressive regimens to reduce hepatitis C recurrence associated to fibrosis progression (F≥2 under ISHAK score) at one year post-transplant. To identify viral and recipient factors associated with liver fibrosis progression using ultra-deep pyrosequencing (UDPS).

To conduct the following evaluations in Korean healthy male adult volunteers receiving a single and multiple doses of MP-424 tablets: Pharmacokinetics of MP-424 after a single and multiple doses. Safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of MP-424.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a high fat meal and light meal on the blood levels of Daclatasvir, Asunaprevir and BMS-791325 after administration of the 3 drugs as a fixed-dose combination in healthy subjects.
