HEPATITIS C

This study is testing the safety and drug levels of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir, a hepatitis C treatment, in 30 pregnant women with or without HIV. The goal is to see how the drug works during pregnancy and to monitor the health of both mothers and their infants up to 10 weeks after…

This study looks at whether starting hepatitis C treatment during pregnancy is feasible and acceptable for women who have used drugs. Fifty pregnant adults with hepatitis C will take glecaprevir-pibrentasvir daily for 56 days. Researchers will track how well participants stick to…

This project aims to make hepatitis C testing and treatment easier for people who visit drug treatment clinics and needle exchange programs. Researchers will work with clinics across New South Wales, Australia, to help more people start treatment. The study includes up to 6,000 a…

This study tracks 500 people who received a heart transplant from a donor with hepatitis C. Researchers want to see if using these organs is safe and works well. They will measure cure rates for hepatitis C, organ rejection, and survival after one year.

This study aims to see if a dried blood spot test can effectively screen drug users for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and AIDS. Researchers will enroll 500 former or active drug users. The goal is to find a simpler way to detect these infections in a hard-to-reach population.

This study aims to learn more about liver diseases like hepatitis B, C, and D by observing up to 8,050 participants over time. Participants will have yearly check-ups, blood and urine tests, and liver ultrasounds. Some may be offered experimental treatments if they qualify. The g…

This study uses a device called FibroScan to measure liver stiffness and fat content in people with liver disease. The scan is non-invasive, like an ultrasound, and takes only a few minutes. Researchers aim to build a large database of these measurements to help improve future di…

This study is looking at 1,000 liver transplant recipients to see if testing their blood, urine, and tissue samples can detect early signs of chronic kidney disease, acute rejection, or hepatitis C. The goal is to find simple biomarkers that could lead to earlier treatment and fe…

This study is testing whether a quick finger-stick test can help find more people with hepatitis C and get them into treatment. About 60,000 adults at risk for hepatitis C will take the test at clinics, shelters, or prisons. The study itself does not provide treatment, but will c…

This study looks at how common certain infections are among 250 asylum seekers living in reception centers in Italy. Participants must be adults who arrived in Italy between 2 and 36 months ago. The goal is to better understand infection rates to improve health screening and care…

This study collects DNA from 1200 patients receiving routine care at the University of Chicago. Researchers look for genetic differences that might affect how well a drug works or how likely it is to cause side effects. The goal is to see if giving this genetic information to doc…

This study tests a smartphone app designed to teach emergency room patients about hepatitis C (HCV) and help them connect to follow-up care. Researchers will enroll 308 HCV-positive patients at an urban ER. The app provides personalized information on liver health and care option…

This study looks at medical records from 15,000 people to see how chronic liver diseases (like hepatitis, fatty liver, and cirrhosis) are linked to other health problems. Researchers will track new cases of liver cancer and complications over time. The goal is to better understan…
