Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis, Chronic"

Treatment cessation in chronic hepatitis B is associated with high rates of disease relapse. However patients who achieve the seroclearance of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) (<0.05 IU/mL) show good off-treatment durability after treatment cessation. Through the quantification of HBsAg, the study aims to investigate how low should quantitative HBsAg be before once can achieve successful disease control after treatment cessation.

The purpose of this study is to develop and characterize immunological assays on blood samples.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and HCV(Hepatitis C virus) RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) kinetics after administration of MP-424 to patients with chronic hepatitis C.

This randomized study will be conducted in two parts to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous administration of RO7062931. Part 1 will include only healthy participants and Part 2 will include only participants with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Part 1 is an adaptive, single-ascending dose study with an adaptive dose-escalating schedule to determine the best dose to be evaluated in participants with CHB. Part 2 is an adaptive, parallel multiple-dose study comprised of three sub-parts which will be used to further refine the dose and dosing regimen, and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RO7062931 when administered with standard-of-care (SoC) therapy.

Patients with HCV infection often suffer from chronic fatigue, depression and reduced cognition, even before evolving severe liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy. It is currently unclear to what extent the symptoms er due to a direct pathological effects of the virus itself, or due to pre-existing psychiatric disease. There is a complex relationship between prior or existing drug abuse, psychiatric disease and HCV infection, that makes it difficult to establish cause-effect relationships. A biological mechanism has been suggested to contribute to development of cerebral dysfunction in the patients. According to the prevailing Trojan Horses hypothesis circulating lymphocytes cross the blood brain barrier carrying HCV to the central nervous system and virus is subsequently replicated in the macrophages and the microglia in brain as a separate compartment. As part of the immunological response to viral replication, neurodegenerative processes takes place with a harmful effect on the neural circuit and cerebral function. Identification of HCV RNA negative strand, a replication product, in brain tissue from HCV patients, as part of autopsy studies, supports the hypothesis. Moreover, HCV patients have also been observed with abnormal metabolic concentrations in the frontal white substance and the basal ganglia by MRI spectroscopy compared to control groups. The overall study objective is to assess cerebral function with particular emphasis on cognitive functions in HCV patients (genotypes 1,2,3 and 4) by use of a neuropsychiatric test battery. Furthermore, the patients will be examined by MRI, including magnetization transfer, diffusion tensor and contrast perfusion, in order to perform measurements of cerebral volumetric and microstructure. Finally, HCV analysis, including viral sequences and cytokine profiles, in serum and cerebrospinal fluid will be carried out in the study population.

This is a Phase I, open-label, single-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of LDT600 in pediatric and adolescent patients with chronic hepatitis B infection.

SCV-07 (γ-D-glutamyl-L-tryptophan) is a new immunomodulatory compound that has been developed and patented both for composition and immunomodulatory use and is a synthetic dipeptide. The efficacy of SCV 07 in treating chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is expected to arise from the drug's ability to stimulate the T-helper 1 (Th1) type immune response and to block signal transducers and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) mediated signaling. The purpose of this study is to determine if SCV-07 alone and/or SCV-07 in combination with ribavirin is safe and potentially effective for the treatment of genotype 1 compensated chronic hepatitis C in subjects who have relapsed after a response to a previous treatment course of at least 44 weeks with pegylated interferon and ribavirin. All subjects will receive 4 weeks of SCV-07 (Lead-in Phase), followed by 4 weeks of treatment with SCV-07 in combination with ribavirin (Combination Treatment).

The purpose of this study is to determinate the AMH levels before and after antiviral therapy with Ombitasvir-Paritaprevir-Ritonavir and Dasabuvir in comparison with age-matched HCV-positive women not undergoing antiviral treatment.

HBsAg Loss/Seroconversion is uncommon in Low replicative chronic HBV infection patients. The purpose of this study is to investigate the ability of peginterferon alpha to achieve HBsAg loss/seroconversion therapy in Low replicative chronic HBV infection patients with Low Level HBsAg.
