Multi-center, randomized controlled study designed to determine if continuing interferon long term over several years will suppress the Hepatitis C virus, prevent progression to cirrhosis, prevent liver cancer and reduce the need for liver transplantation. Patient enrollment began in 2000 and was completed in 2003 at 10 clinical centers, which were supported by a data coordinating center, virological testing center, and central sample repository. Patients with chronic hepatitis C and advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis on liver biopsy who failed to respond to a previous course of interferon alfa were enrolled in this study. Patients were initially treated with a 24-week course of peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin. Patients who remained hepatitis C virus RNA positive were then randomized to receive maintenance, low-dose peginterferon or to be followed on no treatment. Liver biopsies were done before enrollment and after 2 and 4 years of treatment or follow-up. The endpoints were development of cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation, hepatocellular carcinoma, death, or liver transplantation. 1050 patients were randomized and followed through the 4 year randomized phase of the trial and as long as 4 years off treatment. Serum samples collected at multiple time points, DNA and liver tissue are available for scientific investigation.

A consortium whose overall goal is to identify effective behavioral and lifestyle interventions that will improve weight, glycemic control and other pregnancy-related outcomes in obese and overweight pregnant women, and determine whether these interventions reduce obesity and metabolic abnormalities in their children. The study/consortium is comprised of seven clinical centers, with each clinical center conducting its own trial. Additional information on the consortium and individual trials is located in the Consortium Summaries tab.

A research consortium with the long term goal of developing and testing measurement tools to describe symptoms of lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in women and men. The group plans to study targeted populations of patients with LUTD in order to expand our understanding of the causes of symptoms and common ways that symptoms change over time. The researchers will also collect biosamples from patients for current and future study of LUTD.

A consortium of research projects working to optimize approaches for the isolation, expansion, and differentiation of appropriate kidney cell types and their integration into complex structures that replicate human kidney function. Their goal is to coordinate and integrate research to support the development and implementation of strategies such as de novo repair of nephrons, the re-generation of nephrons, and the in vitro engineering of a biological kidney to enhance renal repair and promote the generation of new nephrons in the postnatal organ. Investigators may apply for funding of a kidney-related project through the RBK Partnership Project. Funded projects would join the consortium.
