SB497115 (Oral Thrombopoietin Receptor Agonist) Versus Placebo In Adults With Thrombocytopenia Due...
Hepatitis CChronic2 moreSB497115 is an oral agent which activates the thrombopoietin receptor and increases platelet counts in healthy volunteers. This study is examining several different doses of SB497115 as a treatment for patients with chronic hepatitis C-related thrombocytopenia who are potential candidates for antiviral treatment with pegylated interferon and ribavirin. The study will be conducted in two phases, Parts 1 and 2. In Part 1, study subjects will be randomized to 4 weeks of SB-497115-GR or placebo administered daily without antiviral therapy. Subjects who successfully complete Part 1 (platelet count 70,000/µL for Pegasys and platelet count 100,000/µL for PEG-Intron) will then proceed to Part 2. In Part 2, subjects will receive an additional 8 weeks of SB-497115-GR or placebo administered daily with antiviral therapy.
PEDS-C: Pegylated Interferon +/- Ribavirin for Children With Hepatitis C
Chronic Hepatitis CThe purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of peginterferon alfa-2a (PEG-2a) in combination with ribavirin (RV) and PEG-2a alone for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (CHC) infection in children. The purpose of this study is also to determine whether PEG-2a in combination with RV or PEG-2a alone will result in a longer response rate in children with CHC.
Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2a Maintenance Therapy and Liver Disease Progression in People Infected...
HIV InfectionsHepatitis C1 moreInfection with both HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) may result in serious and sometimes fatal liver disease. The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of long-term pegylated interferon alfa-2a (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin treatment in slowing liver disease progression in people infected with both HIV and HCV.
CIFN and IFN γ-1b With or Without Ribavirin for Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C (Nonresponders)...
Chronic Hepatitis CTo evaluate the safety and tolerability of two different doses of Consensus Interferon-Alpha and Interferon Gamma-1b with or without ribavirin in patients with chronic hepatitis C who are non-responders to PEG-IFN-a 2a or PEG-IFN-a 2b plus ribavirin.
Evaluate Efficacy, Safety and PK of Adefovir Dipivoxil Liquid Suspension in Patients With Chronic...
Chronic Hepatitis BThis is a multi-center phase 3, open-label, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of adefovir dipivoxil liquid suspension in patients with chronic hepatitis B and varying degrees of renal impairment.
A Efficacy Against Otitis Media in Children With 11 Valent Pneumococcal Vaccine
Hepatitis AThe purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy in young children in preventing acute otitis media due to vaccine serotype pneumococcal or non typable Hemophilus influenza, following immunization with an 11-valent pneumococcal vaccine according to a 3 dose primary vaccination in the first year of life, with booster dose in the second year of life. Prophylactic immunization with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is compared to placebo (hepatitis A vaccine).
Valopicitabine Alone and Together With Pegylated Interferon in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C...
Chronic Hepatitis CThis study is being conducted to compare the safety, effectiveness and tolerance of valopicitabine (NM283) when used alone and when valopicitabine is used together with pegylated interferon in hepatitis C treatment failure patients. These results will be compared against the results of treatment with pegylated interferon plus ribavirin, the current standard therapy for treatment of hepatitis C viral infection.
Extended Treatment With PEG-Intron® and Rebetol® in Patients With Genotype 1 Chronic Hepatitis C...
Hepatitis CChronicThis is a controlled, randomized, parallel-groups, open-label, multinational study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PEG-Intron® (pegylated interferon alfa-2b) plus Rebetol® (ribavirin) in subjects with chronic hepatitis C. It is designed to evaluate whether 72 weeks of treatment with PEG-Intron plus Rebetol is more effective than 48 weeks of treatment in subjects with Genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C who exhibit a slow response to treatment.
An Extension Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Celgosivir and Peginterferon Alfa-2b,...
Hepatitis CChronicThis is an extension study of HCV-05-002. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of celgosivir plus peginterferon alfa-2b, with or without ribavirin, for an additional 36 weeks in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 infection.
A Comparison of the Drug Telbivudine (LdT) and Lamivudine in Adults With Decompensated Chronic Hepatitis...
Hepatitis BCirrhosisThis trial is being done to see if the investigational drug, LdT (Telbivudine), is safe and effective in the treatment of hepatitis B infection. In addition to this, we will be looking at the comparison of the effects (good and bad) of LdT and lamivudine.
