March 2018 - Recruiting hepatitis C clinical trials
After 2017 the market for new hepatitis C drugs pretty much peaked, leaving people with fewer clinical trials to consider. Below is a small list of trials for adults and children. A few trials for adults that have previously treated or are treatment naïve, with or without cirrhosis. Other trials include patients with substance abuse issues, recently acquired hepatitis C infection, with or without HIV co-infection, with kidney disease, or have received a liver transplant, and as mentioned a few trials for children aged 3 years up to 18 years.

Study of Oral Treatments for Hepatitis C (PRIORITIZE)
Drug: sofosbuvir/ledipasvir
Drug: ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir (Phase 1 only)
Drug: elbasvir/grazoprevir
Drug: Dasabuvir
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02786537
Patients being prescribed HCV treatment who can begin treatment with any of the three HCV treatments being studied (Harvoni, Viekira Pak (Phase 1 only), or Zepatier)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.
HCV treatment naïve (no prior treatment with an approved or investigation anti-HCV medication) - HCV genotype 1-6
34 locations; United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, France, Switzerland, and more..
Drug: glecaprevir (300mg)/pibrentasvir (120mg)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03117569
The aim of this study is to determine if treatment monitoring schedule for chronic HCV patients treated with glecaprevir (300mg)/pibrentasvir (120mg) can be simplified.
Data has shown that direct acting antiviral (DAA) regimen of glecaprevir (300mg)/pibrentasvir (120mg), a protease inhibitor and NS5A inhibitor respectively , provides key features for HCV treatment simplification.
Eligible participants (naïve pre-cirrhosis chronic HCV patients) will be randomized (1:2) to the standard or simplified monitoring arm and will receive treatment for 8 weeks.
One post treatment visit will be conducted 12 weeks after the final dose of study medication to evaluate the proportion of patients with undetectable HCV RNA at this timepoint (SVR12).

A Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Efficacy of Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir in Pediatric Subjects With Genotypes 1-6 Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection
Drug: Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03067129
An open-label study to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and efficacy of glecaprevir
(GLE)/pibrentasvir (PIB) in pediatric participants divided into 4 age groups: 3 to < 6, 6 to < 9, 9 to < 12, and 12 to < 18 years of age. Within each age group, some participants will be enrolled for intensive pharmacokinetics (IPK) to characterize the PK of a particular age group and the remainder of participants will be enrolled for the evaluation of safety and efficacy of each age group. Intensive PK sampling is designed to allow for dose adjustment, based on available PK and clinical data to achieve therapeutic exposures that have been safe and efficacious in adults.
Part 1 of the study will enroll participants into Cohort 1; Cohort 1 will include participants who are in 12 to < 18 years of age who can swallow the adult formulation of GLE/PIB. Part 2 of the study will enroll participants in the remaining age groups into Cohorts 2, 3, and 4; participants in these cohorts will receive the pediatric formulation of GLE/PIB. All participants will receive GLE/PIB for 8, 12, or 16 weeks depending on their hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype, cirrhosis, and prior treatment experience status.
Drug: EBR/GZR
