Treatment and prophylaxis will be administered, using a transmission-triggered approach for the first scenario (HCV Ab+/NAT- donors, arm 1) and a prophylaxis approach for the later scenario (HCV Ab+/NAT+ donors, arm 2).
NCT04677153
This study is being done to compare two strategies to deliver HCV treatment to persons with hepatitis C virus (HCV) who also use drugs and are participating in an outpatient opioid treatment program (OTP). Participants will be randomized into one of two treatment groups: 1. Test and treat plus peer-mentors: This treatment group will be offered 8 weeks of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (an FDA approved HCV treatment) within days of HCV diagnosis at the OTP. Participants in this group will receive treatment adherence support from a peer-mentor who is someone who has been cured of HCV infection. 2. Standard of care HCV treatment referral: This treatment group will be referred to an offsite HCV treatment location. This is the usual care for anyone who tests positive for HCV at the OTP who is not participating in this study.
NCT02107365
Success rates, after retreatment with Peg-Interferon/Ribavirin bitherapy, in patients infected with HCV (hepatitis C virus) genotype 4 and non-responders to a first standard treatment, are disappointing. The association of Asunaprevir and Daclatasvir in combination with the standard-of-care bitherapy has been shown to increase the efficacy of the treatment in non-responders genotype 1-infected patients. Given the absence of current solutions and urgent therapeutic needs for HCV genotype 4-infected patients previously treated with pegylated Interferon/Ribavirin, this pilot study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a quadritherapy associating Asunaprevir, Daclatasvir, pegylated Interferon alpha-2a and Ribavirin, in this very difficult to treat population. 60 subjects will be enrolled. The primary endpoint will be the rate of sustained virological response (SVR), defined by an undetectable HCV RNA, at Week 36 (12 weeks after the end of a 24 weeks quadritherapy).
NCT07503288
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the second leading cause of primary liver cancer worldwide and the leading cause in the United States. In 2020, an estimate 260,000 deaths were attributable to HCV globally, nearly 80,000 of which occurred in Europe, mainly due to complications such as cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The CARTO-VHC study is a retrospective, observational, multicenter study based on data and samples collected during routine care from 2023 to 2024. The study does not involve direct human participation. The study aims to describe the different genotypes and subtypes of the hepatitis C virus, including unusual subtypes, in a large population of newly diagnosed HCV-positive patients. This will help identify the most common types circulating in France. Additionally, the study will provide a comprehensive understanding of therapeutic failures and drug resistance to direct-acting antivirals (DAA) in treated patients.
NCT06953479
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a low-barrier treatment program can help people with hepatitis C virus (HCV) who are in jail start and complete treatment more easily. This study focuses on adults at the Rhode Island Department of Corrections who have active HCV and are awaiting trial. The study asks: * Can a simplified, low-barrier HCV treatment program work in a jail setting? * Do participants finish treatment and get cured using this approach? All participants will receive a 12-week course of the HCV medication sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (Epclusa). If they are released before completing treatment, they will take the remaining doses with them. Community Health Workers (CHWs) will help support participants after release, including reminding them to take medications and helping them get follow-up lab work. Researchers will measure: * Whether participants are cured of HCV * Whether the treatment approach is easy to use (feasible), acceptable, and followed correctly (fidelity) * Whether the program could be used in other jails or expanded in the future This study may help bring HCV treatment to more people in jail, reduce community spread of the virus, and support national goals to eliminate HCV.
NCT07388979
Performance study to evaluate the clinical performance of the In-Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device MagIA H3S (a Multiplex Point-of-Care test for the combined detection of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B and C and Syphilis) from pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) services in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This study aligns with the WHO 2022-2030 strategy for the integrated elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, HBV, HCV, and syphilis.
NCT07317687
West Virginia faces rising rates of HIV, hepatitis, and syphilis, particularly among individuals experiencing homelessness, substance use, and mental health challenges. Traditional blood-draw testing for these infections is often hindered by mistrust, logistical barriers, and delays in results. This study, conducted by the West Virginia University (WVU) Street Medicine program, evaluates a rapid, point-of-care fingerstick test for HIV, Hepatitis C, and syphilis that provides results within 10-20 minutes during mobile clinic visits. Participants may choose rapid testing, traditional blood draw (which also includes Hepatitis B screening), or decline testing. All participants will be invited to complete a brief survey about the experiences with screening methods. The goal is to assess whether rapid testing improves screening uptake, linkage to care, and patient satisfaction, ultimately reducing barriers and disease burden in high-risk populations.
NCT05740358
Liver Cirrhosis Network (LCN) Cohort Study is an observational study designed to identify risk factors and develop prediction models for risk of decompensation in adults with liver cirrhosis. LCN Cohort Study involves multiple institutions and an anticipated 1200 participants. Enrolled participants will have study visits every 6 months (180 days), with opportunities to complete specific visit components via telehealth or remotely. Visits will include collection of questionnaire data and the in-person visits will include questionnaires, physical exams, imaging, and sample collection.
NCT00780416
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MP-424 with Peginterferon Alfa-2b (PEG-IFN) and Ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-naïve patients with (Genotype 1) hepatitis C.
NCT06564051
This study evaluates the incidence of monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis MBL) in patients with chronic hepatitis C and to determine if monoclonal b-cell lymphocytosis is affected by treatment for hepatitis C.
NCT00630058
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, HCV RNA kinetics, and other viral characteristics after administration of two arms of MP-424 in combination with Peginterferon Alfa 2b (PEG-IFN-a-2b) and Ribavirin (RBV) to patients with chronic hepatitis C.
NCT07316842
This study will follow a group of people with chronic hepatitis C infection of genotype 3 who have mild to moderate liver fibrosis (stages F0-F2, measured by a liver stiffness test). All participants will be receiving the antiviral drugs ravidasvir and sofosbuvir as part of their regular medical care. Only patients who start this treatment, meet the study's eligibility criteria, and give written consent for their medical data to be used in research will take part. They will be monitored during their routine clinic visits while receiving the two-drug therapy. After 8 weeks of treatment, researchers will check how many patients have cleared the virus from their blood. Those who achieve this response will continue to be followed for another 4 and 12 weeks after treatment to see if the virus remains undetectable.
NCT06799702
Evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the intervention (primary outcomes) and coping skills and resilience (secondary outcomes) of the telehealth intervention over two months (8 weekly sessions) in a waitlist-controlled, randomized pilot trial using a cross-over design among 40 PWID. The primary outcomes will be feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the intervention. Secondary outcomes will be increased coping skills and resilience, which in turn, will increase status neutral HIV and HCV care and MOUD uptake (longer-term outcomes). Outcomes will be assessed using pre- and post-intervention surveys.
NCT04162938
The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled clinical trial study in an urban emergency department in Baltimore to determine the impact of an educational app which is based on Leventhal's Common-Sense Model of Illness Representations framework, on HCV-infected ED patient's hepatitis C virus (HCV) health belief and knowledge as well as the downstream outcomes of the HCV Continuum of Care (linkage to care rate, initiation of HCV antiviral treatment, and sustained virologic response). First, the investigators will develop a blueprinted prototype personalized HCV educational app which will (1) provide individualized liver fibrosis staging information, (2) pre-test HCV knowledge, perception of barriers to HCV care, and motivation to receive HCV care survey, (3) provide personalized HCV knowledge, facilitators and supporting information for HCV care via video clips and information sheets based on the pre-test results, and (4) provide post-test knowledge, perception, and motivation to receive HCV care. Second, the investigators will conduct a series of focus group discussion sessions to fine-tune the HCV educational app. Third, the investigators will enroll ED patients who have anti-HCV (newly diagnosed or previously diagnosed) but without HCV RNA testing information for a pilot randomized controlled clinical trial of the personalized HCV educational app.
NCT04508907
This study is being done to determine the effectiveness of using a combination of two different drugs in preventing the transmission of HCV from a HCV positive donor to a HCV negative solid organ recipient.
NCT06868264
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of BEM/RZR to SOF/VEL in adults with chronic HCV.
NCT03155906
INTRO-HCV is a multicentre randomised controlled clinical trial that will compare the efficacy of integrated treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) within medically assisted rehabilitation (MAR) clinics providing opioid substitution therapy (OST) compared to standard treatment. The trial will recruit approximately 250 HCV infected in Bergen and Stavanger and about 1000 in a linked observational study. Intervention: Integrating diagnostic and treatment follow-up for HCV treatment into MAR outpatient clinics in Bergen and Stavanger including testing for HCV, counselling and treatment evaluation and treatment delivery. Primary objectives: Compare the effect of integrated HCV treatment assessed with sustained virological response at 12 weeks between the MAR outpatient clinics in Bergen and Stavanger (intervention arm) with standard treatment provided after referral to infectious disease clinics among patients who receive OST having HCV Secondary objectives: Compare treatment adherence between the intervention and control arms, and assess changes in quality of life, fatigue and psychological well-being before and after HCV treatment, as well as changes in drug use, infection related risk behavior, and risk of reinfection among those with sustained virological response. Main endpoint: Sustained virological response of HCV at 12 weeks (± 10 days) Study population: The target group will be patients receiving care with MAR from involved outpatient clinics in Bergen, Sandnes and Stavanger who are chronically infected with HCV and eligible for treatment according to national guidelines. Study duration: Participants will be included and followed up at least annually for the total study duration between 2017 and 2021. Expected outcome: This study will inform on the relative advantages and disadvantages of an integrated treatment program for HCV into MAR compared to standard care aiming to increase access to treatment and improved treatment adherence. If the integrated treatment structure is found to be safe and efficacious, it can be considered for further scale-up.
