NCT02032875
This trial was open to participants who had received a liver transplant or had cirrhosis due to chronic HCV. All subjects were treated with daclatasvir+sofosbuvir+ribavirin and were followed for 24 weeks post treatment. Under certain conditions, the treatment duration could have been extended for cirrhotic participants. The study tested the efficacy and safety of this combination for treatment of HCV in cirrhotic and post transplant patients.
NCT04596475
This trial will be done in participants who undergo transplantation of heart, kidney or lung at University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and receive a hepatitis C infected donor organ. In this trial, the plan is to start hepatitis C treatment just before transplant surgery and treat for a short one-week course to see if hepatitis C infection can be prevented in the transplant recipient. The plan is to perform this trial in 10 participants and if successful, the next step is to try to make it standard of care as prevention of infection is better than treating hepatitis C after discharge from transplant surgery (which is usually a 12 week standard treatment).
NCT00570336
The purpose of this study is to determine if CTS-1027 can lower elevated liver enzymes in patients with chronic HCV infection.
NCT00005657
The diverse clinical syndromes associated with hepatitis C underscore the multifactorial and polygenic nature of HCV infection. Both viral and host factors likely contribute to variations in infection outcome, disease susceptibility and progression, and treatment response. This protocol will focus on the immunogenetics of HCV infection. Various candidate genes, most of them related to host immune response in microbial infection, have defined genetic polymorphisms that have been associated with variable manifestations of infections including malaria, tuberculosis, leprosy, AIDS and hepatitis B. In this proposal, we plan to collect peripheral blood mononuclear cells as a source of DNA from approximately 1500 patients with HCV infection, analyze genetic polymorphisms of various candidate genes in association with viral clearance, disease progression or treatment response, and characterize the functional consequences of these polymorphisms in patients with well-defined clinical sequelae of HCV infection. We will also collect blood from patients with other forms of liver diseases (approximately 300) or normal volunteers (approximately 200) as controls. By identifying relevant host factors genetically and investigating their molecular interactions with HCV, we may gain additional insights into HCV pathogenesis and uncover new potential targets for vaccine development and treatment intervention.
NCT01296451
The study is aimed at assessing the safety of AdCh3NSmut and the new candidate vaccine MVA-NSmut when administered sequentially, or alone, to healthy volunteers and patients with hepatitis C virus infection The study also aims at assessing the cellular immune response generated by AdCh3NSmut and MVA-NSmut administered as mentioned above.
NCT00845676
This study is designed to test the hypothesis that treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection during the first 6 months after acquiring HCV among people who already have pre-existing HIV infection will result in improved responses to HCV therapy with a shorter duration of infection.
NCT04546802
Subjects with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection, genotype 1 or 4 and with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and a complete response to HCC therapy will be randomised to immediate or delayed (6 months) HCV therapy with Elbasvir (MK-8742) and Grazoprevir (MK-5172) \[EBR/GZR\].
NCT02269059
This is a two-part dose-finding trial of MK-7680 in participants with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection of genotype (GT)1 (Part I) and GT3 (Part 2). The primary hypothesis is that daily administration of a safe and well tolerated dose of MK-7680 will produce a decrease in HCV viral load.
NCT04017338
The success of transplantation is significantly hindered by the lack of sufficient number of available donors. Many potential donor organs cannot be utilized in clinical transplantation because donors have chronic viral infections such as hepatitis C (HCV) infection. This study will test the possibility of safely transplanting organs from HCV-infected donors into HCV-uninfected recipients. Prior to transplantation, recipients will receive an initial dose of highly effective antiviral prophylaxis using approved direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir (G/P) and they will also receive ezetimibe, a cholesterol-lowering medication that also blocks entry of HCV into liver cells. They will then receive daily dosing of the same medications for 7 days after transplant. The aim of the study is to show that transplantation of organs from HCV+ donors is safe in the era of DAAs. The investigators hypothesize that rates of HCV transmission to recipients will be prevented by the use of DAA prophylaxis and any HCV transmission that does occur will be readily treatable and curable. If successful, the knowledge from this study can have a large impact to patients with end stage organ diseases by providing a large novel source of donors for organ transplantations.
NCT00445419
Pevion Biotech has designed a therapeutic vaccine to treat patients who suffer from chronic hepatitis C virus infection. The vaccine is based on a combination of the PeviPRO and PeviTER platforms using synthetic peptide antigens from the hepatitis C virus. Generally, a cellular immune response by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) seems to be crucial in overcoming a hepatitis C virus infection. In-depth research in recent years has shown that the cellular immune response is even more effective when supported by helper T-cells. Pevion Biotech's HCV vaccine candidate utilizes this effect inducing specific CTL responses (PeviTER) together with a supportive helper T cell response (PeviPRO). This virosome-based technological combination in a single product represents a new generation of modular therapeutic vaccines.
NCT03819322
This is an open-label, pilot trial to test the safety and efficacy of transplantation of livers from Hepatitis C seropositive non-viremic (HCV Ab+/NAT-) and HCV seropositive viremic (HCV Ab+/NAT+) donors to HCV seronegative recipients on the liver transplant waitlist. 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).
NCT02568332
This study is aimed at assessing the safety of candidate Hepatitis C (Hep C) vaccines AdCh3NSmut1 and MVA-NSmut when administered to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) seropositive individuals. This study also aims to assess the cellular immune response generated by these vaccines when administered as mentioned above.
NCT00819026
Hepatitis C Virus is constantly evolving genetically, particularly in response to the immune system. This is an observational study to examine if immunosuppressants particularly calcineurin inhibitors taken by transplant patients in order to avoid organ rejection causes predictable changes in the genetics of this virus that might be important in order to treat it effectively.
NCT02392494
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of MK-1075, and to determine the ability of MK-1075 to reduce HCV viral load, following administration of a single dose in HCV-infected participants.
NCT01438320
The goal of this study is to translate laboratory findings that Quercetin, a bioflavonoid, is safe and has antiviral activity in people with hepatitis C.
NCT03401697
Initially, HCV Informatics (C-IT) will be used to filter the EMR data of the one million people who receive care at Mount Sinai and identify candidates for HCV testing (baby boomers, patients with HIV infection) and candidates for HCV treatment (patients with positive test results for HCV RNA and no record of treatment).once treatment candidates have been identified through this proactive approach, their providers will be directly notified. HCV champions and patient navigators will be used to further lower barriers to the delivery of HCV care. They will be co-located at non-hepatology care sites and will help deliver open-label HCV treatment as part of standard medical care to 500 HIV/HCV co-infected patients and 200 patients with type 2 diabetes.
NCT02673489
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 24 weeks of Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir with Ribavirin is safe and effective in the treatment of genotype 3 hepatitis C infected patients with liver cirrhosis.

NCT02118012
Background: \- Hepatitis C is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus. It is the most common cause of serious liver disease in the United States. Many people have few if any symptoms. It can lead to cirrhosis, which can cause liver failure and cancer. Researchers want to study how a medicine called chlorcyclizine works in patients with hepatitis C. They want to see if it can be used to treat hepatitis C alone or when used with the standard hepatitis C treatment drug ribavirin. Objectives: \- To see if chlorcyclizine can be used to treat hepatitis C alone or in combination with the drug ribavirin. Eligibility: \- Adults with chronic hepatitis C who either have never been treated for it or have relapsed after prior treatment. Design: * Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, blood and urine tests, and a questionnaire. They will also have an ultrasound of their abdomen and electrocardiogram. Some of these tests will be repeated throughout the study. * Participants will spend 3 days as an inpatient to be monitored while starting study drug. They will be assigned randomly to a group and will begin taking the study drug. Blood will be taken frequently. * Group I will take the study drug twice a day for 28 days. * Group II will take the study drug twice a day and ribavirin twice a day for 28 days. * Participants will visit the clinic every 7 days for 28 days. * After participants stop taking the study drug, they will have 5 follow-up visits over 3 months.
