Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

A Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of VX-135 and Daclatasvir in Treatment-Naïve Adult Subjects With Genotype 1 Chronic Hepatitis C

Multicenter prospective follow-up of a not controlled chronic hepatitis C genotypes 2/3 patients cohort with treatment indication with interferon α 2b and ribavirin for 24 weeks, and the verification of sustained virological response at week 48. The eligibility criteria and outcome measures followed the Clinical Protocol and Therapeutic Guidelines for Chronic Viral Hepatitis C, published by the Ministry of Health: http://portal.saude.gov.br/portal/arquivos/pdf/pcdt_hepatite_c_2011_retificado.pdf

Hypothesis: the Telaprevir(TVR) plasma levels (750 mg q8h or 1125 mg/12h )will not be affected when co-administered with un-boosted Atazanavir (ATV) 200 mg q12h plus two analogues (NRTIs) in HCV/HIV-co-infected patients.

Background: - Present treatment for hepatitis C includes the use of a weekly injection and two different pills. This treatment is associated with serious side effects. Drugs that can be taken by mouth and cure HCV infection without serious side effects would be a great help to the large number of people infected with HCV. GS-7977 and GS-5885 are new medications being developed to treat the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. They are still being researched and are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. They are being developed as treatment for hepatitis C as a single pill taken once a day. Objectives: - To determine whether a combination of the two study drugs can safely and effectively treat HCV infection in people with HIV infection and who do not have cirrhosis of the liver. Eligibility: - Individuals who have HIV infection and have liver disease caused by infection with HCV. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood samples will be collected. Urine samples will be collected from participants who might become pregnant. If a participant has not had a liver biopsy in the past 3 years, one will be required. Participants will take one pill daily for 12 weeks. This pill will be a combination of the two study drugs. Treatment will be monitored with frequent clinic visits and blood tests over a total of 60 weeks.

Patients with spontaneous decline of HBV DNA were non-randomly assigned to accept peginterferon alfa-2a or entecavir therapy, or didn't accept any antiviral regiment.

Background: - Some people who have chronic hepatitis C do not respond to the usual treatment with peginterferon and ribavirin. New chronic hepatitis treatments are being developed that may work better for different people. The treatments will look at how specific genes interact with the drugs. Researchers want to see how well these new drugs work in people whose chronic hepatitis C has not responded or only partly responded to the usual treatment drugs. Objectives: - To compare new treatments for people with chronic hepatitis C. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have chronic hepatitis C that has not responded to standard treatments. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Liver scans and a biopsy will be taken before the start of treatment. Participants will be separated into two groups. One group will have the new treatment drugs (assunaprevir and daclatasvir). The second group will have these two drugs as well as peginterferon and ribavirin. All participants will have an initial 4-day hospital stay with regular blood tests to see how the start of the treatment works. The first group will take the new study drug tablets daily for 24 weeks. Those who do not respond to this treatment will also start to take peginterferon and ribavirin, and the treatment will continue for 24 weeks after starting the additional drugs. The second group will take all four drugs according to the standard dosing schedule for 24 weeks. Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests. Liver scans, biopsies, and other tests will be performed as directed by the study doctors. Participants will have 24 weeks of regular followup visits.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of medical ozone in treatment of chronic hepatitis B patients.

This study is a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blinded clinical trial, which included 50 children with hepatitis A. They were of both sexes and their age ranged from 2 to 18 years. The patients were randomly assigned into one of two groups; each consisted of 25 children. Each patient in the intervention group (group 1) took oral honey in a dose of 5 ml/kg/day (with a maximum dose of 150 ml/day) for four weeks, whereas patients of the placebo group (group 2) took placebo in the form of molasses. The main outcome measure was the recovery time defined as the number of days from the start of the intervention to subsidence of symptoms and signs of hepatitis and return of liver transaminases to their normal levels.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

Hypothesis: Oral administration of hyperimmune bovine colostrum enriched with anti-LPS antibodies will reduce endotoxemia, and improve pathophysiological and clinical parameters related to severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH). IMM 124-E is safe in subjects with severe alcoholic hepatitis being treated with steroids. Aim: To perform a phase 2a "proof of concept" placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study of Imm 124-E (hyperimmune bovine colostrum enriched with IgG anti-LPS) in subjects with severe AH on steroids.
