简要总结

Study objective: Feasibility and efficacy of a standardised psychosocial intervention (psychoeducation) in substituted opioid dependent patients

详细描述

Primary objective:

  • Retention in antiviral treatment (feasibility)

Secondary objectives:

  • Mental Health Mental health is monitored by means of the Symptom Checklist 90-R (SCL-90-R). Its sum score, the Global Severity Index (GSI), serves as indicator. Mental health will be regarded as stable in case of a change of less than 6 GSI-points, otherwise mental health will be regarded as improved (GSI - 6 points) or decreased (GSI + 6 points).
  • Course of Addiction Course of addiction under antiviral treatment will be monitored according to retention in substitution treatment, compliance with scheduled visits, and co-consumption of illicit drugs (patients record, urinalysis).
  • Sustained viral response (SVR) SVR as measured by polymerase chain reaction 6 months after per protocol antiviral treatment (ITT-analysis).

  • Patient must be therapy naive regarding the hepatitis C (no preceding treatment attempts with interferon and/or Ribavirin)
  • Ability to comprehend und follow the study protocol
  • Compensated liver disease with the following haematological and biochemical minimum criteria:
  • Leukocytes ≥ 3.000/mm3
  • Neutrophile granulocytes ≥ 1.500/mm3
  • Thrombocytes ≥ 90.000/mm3
  • Direct and indirect bilirubin within the standard range (if not factors, which are not hepatitis-conditioned, as M. Meulengracht, represent an explanation for the increase of the indirect bilirubin; in these cases the indirect bilirubin must be less than 3.0 mg/dl or 51.3 µmol/l)
  • Albumin within the standard range
  • Creatinine within the standard range
  • TSH (Thyreotropine) within the standard range of the test laboratory
  • Normal blood sugar value for non-diabetics or haemoglobin A1c max. 8.5% for diabetics (induced by pharmacotherapy and/or diet controls). An eye examination is required in diabetics.
  • Haemoglobin values ≥ 12 mg/dl for women and/or ≥ 13 mg/dl for men
  • ANA ≤ 1:160
  • In patients with cirrhosis or transition to cirrhosis: exclusion of hepatocellular carcinoma
  • Readiness to abstain from alcohol during interferon treatment.
  • Negative pregnancy test in female patients within 24 hours before the first dose
  • Regular confirmation that sexual active women at the age capable of child-bearing and/or sexual active men use two reliable methods of contraception during interferon / ribavirin treatment and six months thereafter, one contraception method with barrier effect (e.g. condom, diaphragm)
  • Female patients may not breastfeed during interferon / ribavirin treatment.

  • Hyperlipidemia (Cholesterol > 1,5-times above the upper standard value)
  • Clinically manifested gout
  • Severe heart insufficiency
  • Severe coronary heart disease
  • Patients with cardiac pacemaker
  • Severe chronic pulmonary diseases (e.g. COPD)
  • Serious psychological illness, in particular severe depression
  • Oesophagus varicose in the prehistory
  • Patient with high anaemia risk (e.g. Thalassaemia)
  • Retinopathy
  • Severe other illness
  • Patients, who cannot follow the study conditions
  • Male partners of pregnant women
  • Current desire to have children / no safe contraception under therapy and until including 6 months after study end
  • Participation in a clinical study within the last 6 months
