Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of telbivudine in Blacks/African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos with compensated chronic hepatitis B during 52 weeks of treatment

The primary purpose of the study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of standard treatment for chronic hepatitis C using peginterferon alpha-2a (Pegasys) and ribavirin (Copegus) to those same medications plus a dietary supplement called betaine when added for the first 12 weeks of treatment. Peginterferon alpha-2a (Pegasys) and ribavirin (Copegus) are approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. Betaine is a dietary supplement and occurs naturally in the body. It is not a medication regulated by the FDA or an approved drug for chronic hepatitis C.

To assess the safety and immunogenicity of a booster dose of hepatitis B vaccine in children who have received a 3-dose primary series of either RECOMBIVAX HB or ENGERIX-B. The primary vaccination series (was given 4 to 8 years prior to study entry and consisted of a licensed hepatitis B vaccine product (either RECOMBIVAX HB or ENGERIX-B). The booster dose given in this study will be either an investigational Merck product (Modified Process Hepatitis B Vaccine) or licensed ENGERIX-B vaccine.

This study was conducted in healthy infants and will provide new immunogenicity and safety data for the modified process hepatitis B vaccine. This study was conducted to address the following: to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety data of the 5 microgram dose of the modified process hepatitis B vaccine compared with a 10 microgram dose of the modified process hepatitis B vaccine, to evaluate another dosing schedule of 2, 4, and 6 months, and to provide descriptive immunogenicity data of another marketed vaccine (ENGERIX-B®).

As per request by the Heath Authorities, the present clinical study will assess the immunogenicity and safety

Hepatitis E is characteristic by sporadic and local epidemic around the world, and mainly infects adults aged 15 to 40 years old, resulting in the infection rate ranged from 1% to 15%. The investigational hepatitis E vaccine is a recombinant aluminium-adjuvant hepatitis E vaccine. This is a single center, randomized, blinding, parallel-controlled phase Ib clinical trial. This study will determine the safety and immunogenicity of the investigational recombinant hepatitis E vaccine in healthy adults between 16 and 65 years.

The purpose of this study is to explore whether silibinin plus ribavirin with/without peg-interferon can be more effective than the peg-interferon plus ribavirin based standard of care (SoC) in the treatment of patients infected with hepatitis C virus genotype 4.

The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term persistence of immunity to hepatitis B in adolescents aged 15-16 years who were vaccinated with Engerix™-B Kinder in infancy. The study will also assess the immune response to a challenge dose of Engerix™-B Kinder in these subjects.

The purpose of this Phase 4 trial is to assess the safety, immunogenicity, three-year immune persistence of inactivated hepatitis A vaccine (HAV) and live attenuated HAV vaccine.

The purpose of this study is to show the superiority of a 4 weeks lead-in phase of Vitamin D followed by a 48 weeks combination of Vitamin D with PEG-IFN plus RBV in comparison with standard PEG-IFN + RBV in untreated Egyptian patients with chronic hepatitis C, on the sustained virological response (SVR) at 3 months after end of treatment (week 60).
