Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C, Chronic"

The primary objective of this protocol is to study the effect of the standard of care in hepatitis C (pegylated interferon and ribavirin) associated with therapeutic vaccine TG4040 on the viral load of treatment-naïve patients with chronic genotype 1 hepatitis C infection.

To determine safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of escalating doses of SD-101 alone and SD-101 plus ribavirin in subjects with chronic hepatitis C and no prior therapy.

There is a distinct lack of published literature on the effect of combination treatment of PEG-interferon and ribavirin on post-renal transplantation hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients. Small case series have been published utilizing conventional interferon and/or ribavirin and the available data is extremely preliminary in nature. A small retrospective series of patients treated with Pegylated interferon and ribavirin published recently suggests that the treatment may be safe and efficacious. Unpublished reports from a few centers within Saudi Arabia also suggest a good safety profile and reasonable efficacy from this form of combination treatment. The investigators aim to prospectively study the safety and efficacy of PEG-interferon and ribavirin combination therapy in post-renal transplant HCV-infected patients. Towards this 40 patients with histological evidence of liver disease will be recruited and the efficacy of the above medications studied. The proposed study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PEG-interferon and ribavirin combination therapy in the treatment of chronic HCV in renal transplant patients in a way that will allow management of such patients in an optimized manner.

The study evaluates safety and efficacy of vaniprevir (MK7009), when administered with Pegylated-Interferon (peg-IFN) and Ribavirin, in Japanese patients with Hepatitis C infection. The primary hypotheses are that 1.) the proportion of patients achieving rapid viral response (RVR) in one or more of the vaniprevir treatment groups is superior to that in the placebo group, when each is administered concomitantly with pegylated interferon (peg-IFN) α-2a and ribavirin; and 2.) vaniprevir at the studied doses is well tolerated compared with placebo, when each is administered concomitantly with peg-IFN α-2a and ribavirin for 28 days.

This 2 part study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 12 and 24 weeks treatment with RO5190591 (danoprevir) in combination with Pegasys and Copegus, compared to Pegasys and Copegus alone, in treatment-naive patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 virus infection.In Part 1 of the study, patients will be randomized to receive either 1) RO5190591 300mg po every 8 hours, 2) RO5190591 600mg po every 12 hours, 3) RO5190591 900mg po every 12 hours or 4) placebo, in combination with standard doses of Pegasys and Copegus. If the safety and virological response data from Part 1 of the study are supportive, in Part 2 patients will be randomized to receive either 1) RO5190591 300mg po every 8 hours or 600mg po every 12 hours or 900mg po every 12 hours or 2)placebo, in combination with standard doses of Pegasys and Copegus. The anticipated time on study treatment is 24-48 weeks, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

The current trial is designed to prospectively explore the safety of erythropoietin use for the treatment of anemia during boceprevir plus peginterferon alfa-2b/Ribavirin (PEG2b/RBV) therapy and to assess its relationship to efficacy. All participants in this trial will be treated with the triple combination of boceprevir plus PEG2b/RBV. If a participant becomes anemic during treatment, the participant will be randomized to one of two therapeutic strategies for management of anemia (erythropoietin use versus RBV dose reduction).

This study will assess short term safety, antiviral activity and pharmacokinetics (PK) of IDX184 in combination with Peg-interferon (Peg-IFN)/Ribavirin (RBV) in participants with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (GT) 1 infection. These data will guide dose selection for future, longer term studies.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of peginterferon alfa-2b plus weight-based ribavirin as initial treatment in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 patients. All patients will receive peginterferon alfa-2b plus oral ribavirin for 12 weeks. At the end of this period, quantitative PCR will be used to determine the Early Viral Response (EVR) at this point of treatment. Total treatment duration will be 48 weeks for Early Responders, 72 weeks for Slow Responders, and 12 weeks for Nonresponders.

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the change in HCV RNA during dosing with BMS-650032 and during the follow-up period in subjects with chronic hepatitis C infection

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MP-424 with Peginterferon Alfa-2b (PEG-IFN) and Ribavirin (RBV) in patients with (Genotype 1) hepatitis C, who relapsed after previous treatment.
