Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C, Chronic"

Pevion Biotech has designed a therapeutic vaccine to treat patients who suffer from chronic hepatitis C virus infection. The vaccine is based on a combination of the PeviPRO and PeviTER platforms using synthetic peptide antigens from the hepatitis C virus. Generally, a cellular immune response by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) seems to be crucial in overcoming a hepatitis C virus infection. In-depth research in recent years has shown that the cellular immune response is even more effective when supported by helper T-cells. Pevion Biotech's HCV vaccine candidate utilizes this effect inducing specific CTL responses (PeviTER) together with a supportive helper T cell response (PeviPRO). This virosome-based technological combination in a single product represents a new generation of modular therapeutic vaccines.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile and tolerability of single oral doses of daclatasvir in subjects with chronic hepatitis C infection

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, efficacy and tolerability of using two regimens of telaprevir (with and without delayed start) with standard treatment compared to standard treatment alone in participants with chronic, genotype 1, hepatitis C.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of alb-interferon in adults with genotype 2 or 3 chronic hepatitis

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the change in Hepatitis C Virus RNA during dosing with daclatasvir and during the follow-up period in subjects with chronic hepatitis C infection

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile and tolerability of single oral doses of BMS-791325 in subjects with chronic hepatitis C infection

The purposes of this study are: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-dose versus standard-dose of ribavirin in combination with peginterferon alfa-2a given for 16 weeks in hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 2 infected, treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis C patients after achieving a rapid virologic response (RVR,defined as seronegativity of HCV RNA at week 4 of treatment). To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 24-week versus 48-week regimen of peginterferon alfa-2a plus standard-dose of ribavirin in HCV genotype 2 infected, treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis C patients who have no RVR.

Interleukin 29 (IL-29) is a substance that is produced in the body to help fight viral infections. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and antiviral effects of PEG-rIL-29 (a man-made form of IL-29) when it is given either by itself at different doses or in combination with the approved dose of ribavirin (an antiviral drug) to subjects with hepatitis C infection who have received no prior treatment for this disease or who have relapsed following previous treatment with PEGylated interferon alpha (PEG-IFN-α), or other form of IFN-α, and ribavirin.

Combination therapy with pegylated interferon-alpha plus ribavirin has greatly improved the treatment efficacy and is the mainstream of treatment for chronic hepatitis C infection. The efficacy and safety of pegylated interferon-alpha plus ribavirin combination therapy and its impact on the outcome in chronic hepatitis C patients concomitant with malignancy other than hepatocellular carcinoma deserve to be elucidated. The purposes of this study are: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pegylated interferon-alpha 2a plus ribavirin combination therapy in chronic hepatitis C patients concomitant with malignancy other than hepatocellular carcinoma, compare to those without systemic malignancy. To investigate the role of baseline and on-treatment factors on the response to pegylated interferon-alpha 2a plus ribavirin combination therapy in chronic hepatitis C patients concomitant with malignancy other than hepatocellular carcinoma.

The GI-5005 therapeutic vaccine in combination with standard of care or standard of care alone will be injected under the skin of HCV subjects. Patients will be monitored for safety, immune responses and any therapeutic benefits related to the injections including EVR, ETR, and SVR.
