"This elevation is unrelated to hepatic encephalopathy or a history of intravenous drug abuse, and suggests that a biological process underlies the extrahepatic symptoms in chronic HCV infection."1.31Evidence for a cerebral effect of the hepatitis C virus.

Trial Outcomes

Neurocognitive Tests for Cerebral Function

A battery of pen and paper neurocognitive tests where subject means are reported compared to the normative Z score. Data is reported at baseline (T1), week 12 on treatment (T2) and 12 weeks after treatment (week 60, T3). Improvements are increases in the test result compared to baseline as determined against the Z score. tests performed included Hopkins learning trials (HVLT), a measure of of verbal learning and memory and the Roy-Osterrieth Complex figure test (ROCF) which evaluates visio-spatal abilities, memory, planning and working memory. Improvements in the score (increases in value compared, either less negative or more positive to the Z score) shown in the table are reflective of improvements in these neurocognitive parameters. (NCT00136214)
Timeframe: 18 months overall with measures performed at baseline (T1), week 12 (T2) and 12 weeks after end of treatment (T3) with PEG-IFN for 48 weeks which is 60 weeks post baseline and only done in treated group and not controls

Ratios of Cerebral Metabolites Choline (CH), Myoinisitol (MI) and N-acety Aspartate (NAA)to Creatine (Cr) in 3 Brain Regions Including Basal Ganglia, Frontal Cortex and Left Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex

Evaluation of changes in MR spectroscopy. reductions in ratio of Cho and MI reflect improvements in cerebral inflammation and improvement in cognition. Increases in the NAA ratio are suggestive of improvement in cognitive function. (NCT00136214)
