Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

This study will provide a rationale for switch from lamivudine plus adefovir to tenofovir monotherapy in Lamivudine plus Adefovir Treated Lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B patients with Undetectable Hepatitis B Virus DNA

The aim of the study is to confirm efficacy and safety of treatment with 600 mg of BID BI 207127 in combination with 120 mg QD FDV and RBV for 16 or 24 weeks in target chronically infected HCV GT1b treatment naïve patients, including patients with compensated cirrhosis.

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir (SOF; GS-7977) plus ribavirin (RBV) in adults with chronic genotypes 1, 2, and 3 HCV infection who are coinfected with HIV-1.

With the availability of potent nucloes(t)ide analogues (NA), such as tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and entecavir (ETV), suppression of serum HBV DNA to undetectable levels by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays became achievable in most NA treatment-naïve patients. Until recently, however, many patients commenced antiviral treatment with inferior NAs prior to the availability of TDF or ETV, such as lamivudine (LAM) or adefovir (ADV) which has a low genetic barrier to resistance. For patients who developed genotypic resistance against ADV, the efficacy of TDF monotherapy is controversial. In recent studies, TDF monotherapy produced significant suppression of HBV replication. However, only half of patients with initial ADV resistance achieved an undetectable viral load (<15 IU/ml) with 48 weeks of therapy. On the other hand, there was a retrospective cohort study reporting that, with the combination of TDF and ETV, most of patients became HBV DNA undetectable after median 6 months of treatment. Probability of reaching complete HBV DNA suppression was not decreased in patients with ADV or ETV resistance. Together, these observations indicate that there is a controversy about the efficacy of TDF monotherapy in patients with genotypic resistance to ADV. Thus, in this clinical trial, the investigators will clarify whether tenofovir monotherapy is effective in inducing complete virologic response compared with tenofovir plus entecavir in CHB patients with genotypic resistance to ADV and partial virologic response to ongoing treatment.

The purpose of this study is to investigate if nitazoxanide used in combination with interferon alfa and ribavirin is effective in treating Hepatitis c infected type 2 Diabetic patients by improving their sustained viral response by more than 80%.Considering that the study is being conducted in a third world country like Pakistan, the standard treatment of hepatitis C is not cost effective. The aim is to introduce a new treatment comparable in efficacy to peginterferon and also cost effective.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and antiviral activity of ABT-450/ritonavir/ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267; ABT-450 also known as paritaprevir; ABT-267 also known as ombitasvir) and ABT-333 (also known as dasabuvir) with and without ribavirin (RBV) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1b (HCV GT1b) infection without cirrhosis.

The objective of this study is to identify a safe dose of MK-2248 in participants with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) that mediates at least a 3 log10 reduction in viral load (VL) from baseline. It is anticipated that once-daily administration of a safe and well tolerated dose of MK-2248 will reduce VL by at least 3 log10 IU/mL.

The purpose of the study is to examine whether patients who have acute or early chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can be treated effectively and safely with an interferon-sparing regimen that combines a new direct acting antiviral drug (sofosbuvir) with one of the standard treatments for chronic hepatitis C (ribavirin). In particular, this study will investigate whether treatment of acute or early chronic HCV can be shortened. The study will assess efficacy by looking at the proportion of people who clear the virus (have no virus detectable in their blood) at the end of treatment, and 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment. The hypothesis is that short course (6 weeks) dual therapy using sofosbuvir and RBV will result in successful virological eradication in the majority (≥80%) of subjects treated for recently acquired HCV.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of voxilaprevir (formerly GS-9857) alone or with sofosbuvir (SOF)/velpatasvir (VEL) fixed dose combination (FDC) and antiviral activity of voxilaprevir in adults with genotype 1, 2, 3, 4 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. All participants will be monitored for up to 48 weeks after the last dose.

Parts A and B of this study are designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetic profiles of samatasvir and simeprevir when administered in combination with ribavirin (RBV) for 12 weeks in treatment-naïve, Genotype (GT) 1b, 4 and 6 hepatitic C virus (HCV)-infected participants. Part C of this study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetic profiles of samatasvir, simeprevir, TMC647055 and ritonavir (RTV) when administered in combination with or without RBV for 12 weeks in treatment-naïve or interferon/RBV-treatment relapsed, GT 1a and 1b HCV-infected participants.
