Hepatitis C clinical trials at UCSD
8 in progress, 3 open to eligible people
HCV-TARGET- Hepatitis C Therapeutic Registry and Research Network
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The primary purpose of the HCV-TARGET study is to establish a nationwide registry of patients undergoing treatment with antiviral therapies for chronic hepatitis C (HCV) at both academic and community practices.

Impact of DAA Uptake in Controlling HCV Epidemic and Modeling Interventions for HCV Elimination Among HIV-infected Persons in San Diego
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
A retrospective and prospective study among people living with HIV (PLWH) that assesses hepatitis C (HCV) treatment uptake during periods before and after direct acting antivirals (DAA) introduction, and its impact on the HCV epidemic among PLWH.

Impact of Hepatitis C Virus Therapy on Central Nervous System Outcomes
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
This study observes the effects of newly developed direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatments on the central nervous system (CNS) of individuals with chronic Hepatitis C (HCV). The goals of this study are to determine the CNS impact of curing chronic HCV disease with newly established DAA therapies and how HIV alters this relationship.

Effects of Health Literacy and HCV Knowledge on HCV Treatment Willingness in HIV-coinfected Patients
Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only
A clinical observational study for patients with HIV co-infected with hepatitis C that investigates the levels of their health literacy, hepatitis C and HIV knowledge. Participants will complete a one-time assessment of these studied domains and categorized in three groups defined by their hepatitis C treatment referral status: not-referred, referred-attended, referred and no-show.

Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir Fixed-dose Combination Treatment for Acute Hepatitis C Virus Infection
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a fixed dose combination (FDC) of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (G/P) given for 4 weeks in acute hepatitis C (HCV)-infected participants, with or without HIV-1 coinfection.

Monitoring SOF/VEL in Treatment Naïve, HCV Participants With Active Infection
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
This study is being done to see if a minimal monitoring approach is effective and safe when providing HCV treatment. The minimal monitoring approach will require fewer study visits and lab tests with no medication refills. This study is trying to see whether taking an HCV treatment with fewer clinic visits and laboratory tests can cure just as many people as the standard approach that uses more visits and laboratory tests. The results of this study will be compared with what has been observed in other studies using a standard approach.

Prevention of Transmission of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) From HCV-Viremic Organ Donor
Sorry, not yet accepting patients
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).

Study of Oral Treatments for Hepatitis C
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
Phase 1 of this study will compare the effectiveness of 3 approved HCV treatment regimens to learn whether they work equally well under real-world conditions. Phase 2 of this study will begin early 2017 and will compare the effectiveness of 2 FDA approved HCV treatments. Patients receiving HCV therapy in community and academic clinics will be offered the opportunity to consent to be randomly assigned to one of three regimens and then observed for outcomes. Once randomized, all medical care, laboratory testing, and any disease or side effect management will be assumed by usual care conditions, and patient-reported outcomes will be collected outside clinic in keeping with pragmatic design principles.
