About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Host and Viral Genotypes in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C Infection in India

This study will define the substantial disease burden associated with viral hepatitis in India, and provide a foundation to understand the host and viral determinants of disease pathogenesis that may ultimately impact treatment decisions and outcome

Read the detailed description

The overall goal of this study is to correlate the host and viral genetics of patients infected with viral hepatitis with their clinical presentation. This study will provide the first nation-wide estimate of key host genetic polymorphisms associated with immune response, such as in the IL28B gene locus which has been associated with treatment outcomes in hepatitis C. Characterization of HCV and HBV viral genotypes and sub-types across different geographic regions will allow for an exploration of associations between host and viral genotypes. Another objective of this study is to identify co-morbid illness and metabolic factors that are associated with chronic liver disease due to viral hepatitis. Finally, this survey will explore patient awareness of their disease, risk factors for disease progression, and their treatment options

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Variation in the IL28B rs12979860 SNP

    Characterize the variation in the IL28B rs12979860 SNP that exists among patients with chronic hepatitis C or chronic hepatitis B infection, in the different geographic regions of India

    Measured: One Visit

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Prevelance of HBV and HCV genotypes

    Assess the prevalence of HBV and HCV genotypes and subtypes in different geographic regions of India

    Measured: One Visit

  2. Characterize the SNPs present in innate immune factors toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)

    Characterize the SNPs present in innate immune factors TLR7 (rs3853839, rs179008); TLR9 (rs41308230, rs5743844 ); RIG-I (rs11795404, rs10813831) and NOD2 (rs2067085, rs2066842), in patients with chronic hepatitis C or chronic hepatitis B in the different geographic regions of India

    Measured: One Visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, run by Gilead Sciences at 19 sites in India.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in India. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Variation in the IL28B rs12979860 SNP (time frame: One Visit). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jul 2015.
