Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis, Chronic"

A study to evaluate the safety and effect of treatment with experimental antiviral drugs in combination with peginterferon alpha-2a and ribavirin in people with hepatitis C virus who did not respond to treatment in a previous AbbVie/Abbott combination study.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of telaprevir administered as 750 mg every 8 hours (q8h) in combination with pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN)-alfa-2a and ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced Russian participants with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C.

Hepatitis B surface antigen loss/seroconversion, considered to be the ideal outcome of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, occurs spontaneously at a low rate in inactive carriers. The researchers aim to investigate the ability of peginterferon alpha-2a to achieve surface antigen loss/seroconversion therapy in inactive carriers with persistently normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, undetectable HBV DNA and low surface antigen levels, who would not generally be considered candidates for therapy.

Chronic hepatitis C has become an endemic disease in Egypt with a rising prevalence (genotype 4), worldwide it also poses a significant health burden. To date standard of care treatment (pegylated interferon and ribavirin) give modest results with a sustained virological response (SVR) of about 50%. Several pharmaceutical and herbal agents have been used with an aim to improve current results. Recent reports have suggested an increased SVR with the addition of Nitazoxanide to standard of care. The results are preliminary and need to be confirmed. This is a randomized trial to assess the efficacy of nitazoxanide added to standard of care compared to standard of care alone.

This study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of adefovir dipivoxil 10 mg with lamivudine 100 mg in Japanese patients with compensated chronic hepatitis B over 52-week periods.

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal treatment duration of antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis B.

Phase I/II trial of KRN7000 in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Study objectives: To evaluate and compare the safety and tolerability of 3 ascending doses of a-GalCer. The primary efficacy parameter: HCV-RNA response at the end of treatment. Secondary efficacy parameter: Serum ALT response. Further objectives of the study are to evaluate the effect of a-GalCer on serum cytokines IFNg and TNFa and on iNKT cells. Number of dose levels: 3 Investigational product: KRN7000 Route of administration: intravenous Dosages and frequency: 0.1, 1, 10 mcg/kg, monthly injection, 3 times (day 0, day 28 and day 56)

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of addition of IL-2 to pegylated interferon alpha 2a and ribavirin in HIV-HCV coinfected patients non-responders after three months of standard therapy with pegylated interferon alpha 2a and ribavirin. IL-2 may enhance numbers and function of CD4 T lymphocytes and specific anti-HCV immune responses and could participate to the control of HCV replication

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of repeated intravenous infusions of EMZ702 in combination with pegylated interferon and ribavirin in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1.

This purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of viramidine to ribavirin in chronic hepatitis C patients who have never before recieved treatment.
