Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of MK-1075, and to determine the ability of MK-1075 to reduce HCV viral load, following administration of a single dose in HCV-infected participants.

Fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) in children is a potentially devastating disease. The mortality rate may reach 80-90% in the absence of liver transplantation. Liver injury is considered to be mainly immune mediated with augmentation of cytolytic pathways of infected hepatocytes. For that, it is suggested that corticosteroids modulate the activity of the disease by suppressing the immune system.

Background: - Chronic hepatitis C is a serious liver disease. Current treatments have side effects. New drugs have been developed, but they work better in some people than others. Researchers want to learn why. Objective: - To learn why new hepatitis C drugs sometimes do not work. Also, to learn if these drugs are safe and how well they work in people with different virus strains. Eligibility: - Adults age 18 and older who are infected with hepatitis C virus genotypes 1-4 and who have either never been treated or treated previously with an interferon regimen (with or without ribavirin) that failed to clear the virus. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history and physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests and complete questionnaires. Participants will have a Fibroscan, an ultrasound that measures liver stiffness and other liver scans. They will have an electrocardiogram. Eligible participants will have a liver biopsy. Participants will be admitted to the Clinical Center. They will have a physical exam and blood tests, and complete questionnaires. They will take the first study drug dose as a tablet taken once daily. Participants will take the drug at home for 12 weeks. Participants will have 6 study visits. They will have blood and vital signs taken, and complete questionnaires. At week 4, participants will have another liver biopsy. After their last drug dose, participants will have 5 follow-up visits. They will have blood and vital signs taken, and complete questionnaires. They will discuss their medications and side effects. They may have another Fibroscan.

The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and the SVR12 rate of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir with RBV in GT1-infected participants with decompensated cirrhosis.

The purpose of this study is to study the safety and tolerability of synthetic PreImplantation Factor (sPIF) in female patients with autoimmune hepatitis. Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease where the patient's immune system produces an inappropriate immune response against their own liver. PreImplantation Factor is a substance that is secreted by viable fetuses during pregnancy. PIF apparently initiates both maternal tolerance preventing the loss/rejection of the fetus. Synthetic PIF (sPIF) successfully translates PIF endogenous properties to pregnant and non-pregnant immune disorders. sPIF was found to be effective in preclinical models of autoimmunity and transplantation (published). Specifically sPIF protected the liver against immune attack. Toxicity studies (mice, dogs) have shown that high-dose sPIF administration for 2 weeks followed by 2 weeks observation period demonstrated a high safety profile. This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and the blood level of this synthetic version of this natural compound in the circulation.

Camel milk as the new modality for treatment of chronic hepatitis C. The purpose of this study is to evaluate effectiveness and safety of camel milk in combination with Peginterferon Alfa-2a and Ribavirin in genotype 2,3 chronic hepatitis C virus .

This was a multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir co-administered with ribavirin (RBV) for 12 weeks in treatment naïve and pegylated-interferon alfa-2a or alfa-2b (pegIFN)/RBV treatment-experienced, cirrhotic HCV genotype 1b-infected adults.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of a 12- or 24-week treatment regimen of simeprevir in combination with daclatasvir, as measured by sustain virologic response 12 (SVR12), in treatment-naive, chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b-infected participants who have advanced fibrosis or compensated cirrhosis (METAVIR F3/F4).

This is a phase IV, single-arm, open-label, multi-centre study to assess the efficacy of TDF in Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) subjects following failure of multiple Nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs). The study will enrol 200 CHB subjects following failure of multiple NAs. Subjects will be assessed for eligibility at a screening visit, with eligible subjects returning for a baseline assessment after approximately 4 weeks (Screening phase). In the treatment phase all enrolled subjects will receive open label TDF at a dose of 300 milligrams (mg) orally once daily. All the eligible study subjects will undergo safety and efficacy assessments every 12 weeks for a total of 14 visits. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, the oral pro-drug of tenofovir (TFV), is a nucleotide analogue that inhibits viral polymerases by direct binding and after incorporation into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), by termination of the DNA) chain. TDF is a highly potent treatment in treatment-naïve and lamivudine (LAM) resistant CHB patients. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the efficacy of TDF treatment in Chinese CHB patients following failure of multiple NAs. In addition, the study will also explore the relationship of baseline factors and early HBV DNA suppression to long-term virological response. The efficacy of TDF in multi-drug resistant patients will be analysed separately. The data generated by this study could then be used to optimize the clinical application of TDF and provide new evidence for management of the HBV infections following failure of multiple NAs. The result of this study will help Chinese physicians better manage the CHB patients following failure of multiple NAs.

To assess the antiviral effect, safety and pharmacokinetics of rising doses of 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, 60 mg, 80 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 450 mg, 650 mg, 900 mg oral BILB 1941 ZW administered Q8H in a polyethyleneglycol 400 (PEG 400): distilled water: Tromethamine (TRIS) drinking solution for five days to patients with chronic HCV genotype 1 infection
