A Study to Examine Patient Characteristics, Health Care Management and Health Outcomes of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Patients Treated With Simeprevir

February 19, 2016 updated by: Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC

A Prospective Observational Study to Examine Patient Characteristics, Health Care Management, and Effectiveness Among HCV Patients Treated With Simeprevir at Various Practice Settings

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a simeprevir-containing hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment regimen as measured by sustained virologic response (SVR).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, observational (a study in which the investigators/ physicians observe the patients and measure their outcomes), prospective study (a study in which the patients are identified and then followed forward in time for the outcome of the study) designed to reflect routine clinical practice. Approximately 300 Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients who are prescribed simeprevir by their health care provider as part of their routine HCV treatment regimen, inclusive of patients who have been treated with a simeprevir-based therapy for less than or equal to (<=) 28 days will be enrolled in this and observed to evaluate the effectiveness of a simeprevir. Practice setting features will be documented at the initiation of the study by each participating site. The decision of patients to participate in this study will in no way impact upon the standard of care that they are receiving. All treatment decisions will be made at the discretion of the health care provider. Safety assessments will include assessment of adverse events, and clinical laboratory parameters (hematology, clotting tests, human immunodeficiency virus tests, chemistry, and liver function tests). The maximum study duration for each patient will be approximately 2 years.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
