About this study

Official title: Observational,Post-authorization Prospective Study to Develop and Validate a Prognostic Tool for Optimizing Therapy in Patients With Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotype 1 and 4.

Primary objective:

  • Develop and validate a tool towards patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 and 4 to allow optimize treatment.
Read the detailed description

This Tool:

  1. Predicting the overall impact of prognostic factors (including the new factor of genetic polymorphism of the IL28B) on Sustained Viral Response (SVR).
  2. Identify those patients most likely to respond.
  3. Therapy and therefore optimize resources

The validation tool will check into clinical practice its predictive power (it will consider its ability to calibrate and discriminate) and make correct inferences and interpretations of the scores obtained when applying.

Being tested
Peginterferon alfa-2a, Ribavirin

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatitis C, Chronic, run by Fundación Pública Andaluza para la gestión de la Investigación en Sevilla at 2 sites in Spain.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 4 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Spain. 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?

Sustained Viral Response (RVS) (time frame: 1 ½ years (72 weeks)). 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 4 Sep 2014.
