Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of telaprevir administered as 750 mg every 8 hours (q8h) in combination with pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN)-alfa-2a and ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced Russian participants with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C.

The purpose of the study is to test the safety and tolerability of different doses of IDX719 to find the best dose for future studies. The study will also assess the pharmacokinetics of IDX719. No formal hypotheses will be tested.

This trial will test the hypothesis that CF102 can safely and effectively suppress viral load in patients with chronic hepatitis C and high circulating levels of virus. The trial will monitor the safety of twice-daily oral dosing with CF102 over a 16-week period; will measure changes in viral load during therapy; and will measure blood concentrations of CF102 at various time points during dosing.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an experimental treatment regimen for hepatitis C (HCV). Standard treatment consists of combination therapy with ribavirin, taken by mouth twice a day, and Peginterferon, injected under the skin once a week. Hepatitis C genotypes 2 and 3 have a high success rate with this regimen, while genotype 1 is more difficult to treat. This study will determine if patients with genotype 1 respond better to treatment that uses a higher dose of ribavirin than the standard approved dose of 1,000 to 1,200 mg daily. Patients 18 years of age and older with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 who have not been successfully treated with a standard course of Peginterferon and ribavirin may be eligible for this study. Participants eligible will receive Peginterferon plus twice the standard dose of ribavirin (2,000 to 2,400 mg daily) for 48 weeks. In addition to treatment, all patients receive undergo the following: Before Treatment: Medical history and physical examination, symptom questionnaires, blood tests, urine collection, chest x-ray, electrocardiogram, liver ultrasound, Fibroscan (ultrasound to measure stiffness of the liver) and pregnancy test for women who are able to have children. Patients with other medical conditions or special risk factors may have further evaluations before starting treatment. These may include, for example, eye evaluation for patients with diabetes, exercise stress test for people over age 40 or who have risk factors for heart disease and psychiatric evaluation for people who have depression or anxiety disorder. During Treatment Periodic blood tests to monitor blood counts and viral levels. Outpatient clinic visits every 4 weeks for the duration of the study for laboratory tests and review of symptoms and treatment side effects. Physical examinations and urine tests are done every 12 weeks. Following Completion of Treatment About 1 1/2 years after starting treatment, subjects are re-evaluated as they were at the start of treatment. ...

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MP-424 with Peginterferon Alfa-2b (PEG-IFN) and Ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-naïve patients with (Genotype 1) hepatitis C.

This study will investigate safety, antiviral activity, and pharmacokinetics of BI 201335 NA in HCV genotype 1 infected patients treated for 14 days monotherapy followed by BI 201335 NA combination therapy with PegIFN/RBV for an additional 14 days for treatment-naïve patients; or for 28 days as BI 201335 NA combination therapy with PegIFN/RBV for treatment-experienced patients. A secondary objective is to investigate antiviral activity, potential drug-drug interactions and safety of combination therapy of BI 201335 NA and PegIFN/RBV up to 28 days for treatment-naïve patients.

This 3-arm study assessed the safety and efficacy of combination treatment with peginterferon alfa-2a + ribavirin in participants with chronic hepatitis C. Three groups of participants were studied; 1) those with elevated alanine transaminase (ALT) levels, 2) those with normal ALT levels, and 3) those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infection. Participants with genotype 1, 4, 5 or 6 received peginterferon alfa-2a 180 micrograms (mcg) subcutaneous (SC) once weekly (qw) + ribavirin 1000-1200 milligrams (mg) orally (PO) daily (dependent on body weight) for 48 weeks. Those with genotype 2 or 3 received peginterferon alfa-2a 180 mcg SC qw + ribavirin 800 mg PO daily for 24 weeks, and all participants with HIV co-infection received peginterferon alfa-2a 180 mcg SC qw + ribavirin 800 mg PO daily for 48 weeks.

This study is being conducted to learn more about the safety and effect of telaprevir in combination with peginterferon alfa-2a (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) in participants with hepatitis C who have never been treated for their hepatitis C virus (HCV). The study is designed to look at the relative benefits of 24 or 48 weeks of total treatment in people who respond quickly to a telaprevir-based treatment.

The purpose of this study is to assess anti-viral activity (inhibition of viral growth) of TMC435350 in genotype 2,3,4,5 and 6 hepatitis C virus infected participants who have never received treatment for their hepatitis C infection.

This equally randomized (1:1), double-blind, parallel arm study will assess the safety and antiviral efficacy of RO5024048 added to standard Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) plus Copegus (ribavirin) therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 or 4. Patients in arm A will receive RO5024048 (1000mg orally twice daily) for 24 weeks in addition to Pegasys (180 micrograms sc weekly) and Copegus (1000mg or 1200mg orally daily). Patients achieving a rapid virological response (RVR) at week 4, sustained through week 22, will stop all treatment at week 24; non-RVR patients will continue treatment with Pegasys and Copegus for another 24 weeks up to week 48. Patients in arm B will receive standard treatment with Pegasys (180 micrograms sc weekly) and Copegus (1000mg or 1200mg orally daily) for 48 weeks. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to 48 weeks. Target sample size is <200.
