Pre-Transplant Treatment to Prevent Recurrence of Hepatitis C After Liver Transplantation
Hepatitis CThe purpose of this study is to learn if pre-liver transplant treatment, using peginterferon plus ribavirin, will clear hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA from the blood in HCV-infected recipients and reduce the risk of recurrent HCV and allograft hepatitis following liver transplant.
Safety and Efficacy of the Therapeutic Vaccine GI-5005 Versus Placebo for the Treatment of Chronic...
Hepatitis CThe GI-5005 therapeutic vaccine or placebo will be injected under the skin of hepatitis C virus (HCV) subjects. Patients will be monitored for safety, immune responses and any therapeutic benefits related to the injections.
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.
Timing and Duration of Acute Hepatitis C Treatment
Hepatitis CSpontaneous resolution of acute hepatitis C infection cannot be predicted and the majority of cases persist and become chronic. This randomized trial assesses the efficacy and safety of peginterferon alfa-2b. The investigators hypothesize that therapy strategies could prevent the development of chronic hepatitis.
Trial of Pegasys® in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C
Chronic Hepatitis CThe purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Pegasys® 180μg for subcutaneous (s.c.) injection in interferon (IFN)-treated or IFN-untreated chronic hepatitis C patients except for those infected with genotype 1b of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and a high viral load (≥ 100 KIU/mL). In addition, this study will explore the efficacy and safety of Pegasys® 180μg for s.c. injection given at 2 different periods between 24 and 48 weeks in IFN-untreated chronic hepatitis C patients.
Efficacy of Paroxetine in the Prevention of Depressive Syndrome in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis...
Chronic Hepatitis CDepression is a common side effect of interferon in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of paroxetine, an antidepressant agent, in the prevention of depression induced by PEG-interferon given for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C.
