About this study

Official title: Mapping Natural Polymorphisms of Hepatitis C Virus NS3/4A Protease and NS5A Region Among Brazilian Chronic Patients (MAPPING)

The purpose of this study is to describe the genetic diversity of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4a protease and NS5A protein of HCV in participants with chronic disease naive-drug or previously failed to double therapy (Peg-interferon and Ribavirin) and to identify the frequency of natural polymorphisms in HCV NS3/4a protease and NS5A protein that are associated with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs)-resistance.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, observational/non-interventional, cross-sectional study to describe the genetic diversity of and to identify the natural polymorphisms in HCV NS3/4a protease and NS5A protein of hepatitis C virus in Brazilian participants with chronic HCV infection. Brazilian participants with Genotype 1 HCV infection treatment naive participants or previously failed to double therapy (Peg-interferon-α and Ribavirin) will be included in the trial and will constitute the trial population.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With HCV NS3/4a Protease and NS5A Protein

    After extraction of HCV RNA from collected blood samples, the sequences of the NS3/4A and NS5A genes of HCV will be amplified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) using specific primers for each genomic region. PCR products will be sequenced subsequently by direct sequencing. Detection of natural polymorphisms will be analyzed a comparison of the each sequence with the subtype consensus sequence.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatitis C Virus, run by Janssen-Cilag Ltd. at 6 sites in Brazil.

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 4 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 6 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Brazil. 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?

Number of Participants With HCV NS3/4a Protease and NS5A Protein (time frame: Day 1). 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 6 Feb 2017.
