August 25, 2019 updated by: Yao Xie, Beijing Ditan Hospital

Observational Cohort Study of Clinical Outcomes After Antiviral Therapy in Chronic Hepatitis C Patients

This study was a clinical observational cohort study of two-way, non-intervention long-term dynamic follow-up. Enrolled in the Department of Liver Diseases, Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University, with interferon combined with ribavirin (PR) antiviral therapy (PR treatment greater than or equal to 6 months) and/or direct acting antivirals (DAAs) In patients with chronic hepatitis C, the baseline, antiviral treatment and withdrawal follow-up data before the antiviral treatment were collected, and the patients were followed up for 3-6 months. Clinical data such as clinical biochemistry, HCV RNA and serological markers (anti-HCV), AFP and liver imaging (liver ultrasound) were collected during the study period. At least 144 weeks of observation on the virological response and clinical outcome of anti-viral treatment of chronic hepatitis C, the main evaluation index of liver cancer and decompensated liver cirrhosis after stopping the drug, and exploring the antiviral treatment of patients Long-term virological response and clinical outcomes, clarifying their influencing factors.

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

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. 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

20 years to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

The incidence of decompensated cirrhosis after anti-viral treatment of chronic hepatitis C
up to 144 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
