Response Modifier (Arabinoxylan Rice Bran/MGN-3/Biobran) With Interferon-Alpha for HCV
Hepatitis CChronicCurrent treatments for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) have severe side effects and are very expensive. There is a need to explore effective natural therapies against HCV that are less toxic and more cost-effective. 37 chronic HCV infected patients were randomized into two groups and treated with PEG interferon plus ribavirin for the first group or Biobran, an arabinoxylan from rice bran (1 g/day) for the second group. Viremia level, liver enzymes, γ-interferon (IFN-γ) levels in serum, and toxicity were checked before and three months after treatment.

Chronic Hepatitis C InfectionThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir with or without sofosbuvir (SOF) and ribavirin (RBV) in DAA treatment-experienced adults with Genotype 1 Chronic Hepatitis C Virus infection. This study will contain 2 parts. Part 1: Approximately 20 participants and at least 10 of the 20 participants previously treated with the combination of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir, with or without RBV, and experienced treatment failure. Part 2: Approximately 10 participants and all participants previously treated with SOF/ledipasvir and experienced treatment failure.

Hepatitis CChronicThis study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (area under the curve [AUC], maximum concentration [Cmax], and other parameters) and tolerability of peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin combination therapy following single and multiple doses in participants with CHC infection and moderate to severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving hemodialysis. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 48 weeks, and the target sample size is 48 individuals.

Chronic Hepatitis CThe primary objectives of this study are to evaluate safety, efficacy, and tolerability of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) for 12 weeks in adults on dialysis for end stage renal disease (ESRD) with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection of any genotype.
Safety and Efficacy of Generic Sofosbuvir and Ribavirin for Treatment-naive Genotype 2 Chronic Hepatitis...
Hepatitis CChronic2 moreThis study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of generic sofosbuvir, an investigational anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) drug, combined with weight-adjusted ribavirin for treatment-naive Chinese adults chronically infected with genotype 2 HCV, the second most prevalent genotype in China. One hundred and thirty-two (132) subjects, including one hundred and twenty (120) non-cirrhotics and twelve (12) compensatory cirrhotics, were medicated with sofosbuvir 400 mg daily combined with weight-adjusted ribavirin 1000-1200 mg daily. The treatment course lasted 12 successive weeks and thereafter all the study participants entered into a 12-week treatment-free follow-up period.

Community-based Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C Monoinfection and Coinfection With HIV in the District...
HCV HIVBackground: - Treatment for Hepatitis C has changed a lot in the past 2 years. Most of this change comes from a combination of medicines that is yielding high cure rates. But its long-term effects are uncertain. One problem is that a lot of people need the treatment, but only a few specialists can give it. The success rate for Hepatitis C treatment by primary care doctors, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants is largely unknown. Researchers want to see how provider type affects treatment outcomes. They will conduct a large, community-based study in the District of Columbia. Objectives: - To see if people can be treated for Hepatitis C safely and successfully in community-based health centers. Eligibility: - Adults who need treatment for chronic Hepatitis C infection. Design: Participants will be screened with blood tests. Their current medicines will be reviewed. Participants will give researchers access to their medical records. Researchers will follow participants through these records. Participants will see a primary care or infectious disease provider. The provider will tell them about their treatment. They will be told how often they will visit the provider and how often they will have their blood drawn. They will get a calendar of study visits. Participants will take Harvoni for 8, 12, or 24 weeks. They will visit their care provider monthly. Participants will have monthly follow-up visits for up to 3 months after they finish their medicine. Participants will have yearly follow-up visits with their care provider for up to 10 years.
