Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

The purpose of this clinical study is to determine the appropriate doses of entecavir to use in children and adolescents. Safety, tolerability and efficacy will also be studied

This is a dose finding and efficacy trial for fluvastatin versus hepatitis C.

A Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, parallel design trial of two doses of mitoquinone mesylate (MitoQ) and of placebo in patients with chronic Hepatitis C. MitoQ is a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant that rapidly permeates the lipid bilayer and accumulates within mitochondria in organs such as liver, brain, heart, skeletal muscle. There is strong evidence for increased oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage leading to apoptosis via caspase activation. Several studies have shown that MitoQ protects cells from apoptosis by acting as a caspase inhibitor and may be effective in reducing cell damage in liver disease. It is hypothesised that administration of MitoQ will lower raised ALT seen in patients with chronic Hepatitis C compared with placebo. Approximately 36 patients who have been unresponsive or not suitable for interferon-based therapy will be enrolled at one centre. Treatment duration will be 28 days with 28 days post-treatment follow-up.

This study represents the first administration of GSK625433 in humans. The study is designed to evaluate initial safety and tolerability in healthy adults as well as anti-viral activity in Hepatitis C(HVC) infected adults. The way the human body processes GSK625433 will also be investigated.

The aim of the study is to assess whether patients with recurrent hepatitis C after liver transplantation will benefit from a treatment with ribavirin/PEG-IFN-alpha combined treatment for 48 weeks.

Since a proportion of patients with Acute Viral Hepatitis-B develop severe hepatitis and fulminant hepatic failure, it is logical to believe that a rapid reduction in the HBV DNA levels by using antiviral agents could result in a less intense host response against the hepatitis B virus. However, the experience with lamivudine treatment of immunocompetent patients with AVH-B is limited.The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy, utility and safety of lamivudine in treating immunocompetent patients with AVH-B.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of 12 weeks of treatment with the ABT-493/ABT-530 combination regimen in adults with chronic HCV genotype 1 - 6 infection and chronic severe renal impairment.

This study is SAD(Single Ascending Dose)/MAD(Multiple Ascending Dose) study to Explore the Tolerability, Safety and Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics of GC1102 (Recombinant Hepatitis B Human Immunoglobulin) in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients.

Sofosbuvir and ledipasvir (LDV/SOF) are new directly acting antiviral drugs for the treatment of hepatitis C (HCV) that are highly effective, orally administered, well tolerated and preclinical evaluations in animal models indicate safe administration during pregnancy. This project will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of antenatal LDV/SOF treatment for 12 weeks during the second and third trimester. If proven to be effective, antenatal treatment of HCV with LDV/SOF will prevent maternal HCV-related liver disease, perinatal transmission of HCV, and community transmission of HCV.

This is a study comparing grazoprevir (MK-5172) plus elbasvir (MK-8742) treatment with sofosbuvir (SOF) plus Pegylated Interferon plus Ribavirin (RBV) [PR] treatment in treatment-naïve and prior PR treatment failure participants with chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) genotype (GT)1, GT4, or GT6 infection. The primary objectives are to compare efficacy (assessed by the percentage of participants achieving sustained virologic response 12 weeks after ending study treatment [SVR12]) and safety between the grazoprevir plus elbasvir treatment arm and the SOF plus PR treatment arm. The primary hypothesis is that the percentage of participants achieving SVR12 in the grazoprevir plus elbasvir treatment arm is non-inferior to that in the SOF plus PR treatment arm.
