Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

This is a non-randomized, open-label study examining the safety and efficacy of betaine in addition to standard anti-viral therapy in genotype 1 hepatitis C non-responders or relapsers to previous pegylated interferon plus ribavirin. Betaine (20 gm/day) in 2 divided doses will be added to Peginterferon alpha 2a (180 mcg) plus weight-based Ribavirin (1000 or 1200 mg/day, for body weight < or > 75 kg, respectively, for 48 weeks. Patients must be diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C, genotype I, and have undergone therapy for hepatitis C with pegylated interferon plus ribavirin. Subjects will be followed for safety, tolerability, hepatitis C viral response and the effect on interferon gene signaling in peripheral blood mononuclear cells during therapy.

To evaluate the efficacy of pegylated interferon alfa-2a 40 kD (PEGASYS) combination therapy with ribavirin (Copegus)given for 24 or 48 weeks in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) virus infection genotype 2 or 3 who responded during (i.e. had HCV-RNA <50 IU/mL at the end of previous therapy), but relapsed after (i.e. had detectable HCV-RNA after the end of prior treatment) previous therapy with pegylated interferon and ribavirin given for at least 12 weeks and at most 24 weeks.

This study will assess the efficacy of everolimus as an inhibitor of fibrosis progression in liver transplant patients who have a recurrence of hepatitis C viral infection in the transplant

An open-label, multi-center, prospective, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of LCP-Tacro tablets given once daily vs. azathioprine, each in combination with prednisone, for the treatment of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH).

Thrombocytopenia occurs when a person's blood has a decreased number of platelets, which are cells involved in blood clotting. This condition may lead to uncontrolled bleeding and can be fatal. Thrombocytopenia commonly occurs with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection or as a result of standard HCV treatment. Anti-D is an antibody approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HIV-related thrombocytopenia. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of intravenous anti-D for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in patients with HCV infection who are starting or already undergoing treatment with peginterferon alfa-2 and ribavirin. This study will recruit HCV patients both with and without HIV co-infection.

To study the effectiveness and safety of adding Rosiglitazone, an insulin sensitizing agent to people with chronic hepatitis C infection genotype 1 with fatty liver disease, who are being treated with standard therapy. Standard therapy consists of weekly pegylated interferon injections and daily ribavirin pills, whose dosage is weight based. This regimen in genotype 1 patients is effective in only 45% of patients at best. In addition, this therapy must be given for 48 weeks to be effective and has alot of side-effects. One risk factor for a poor response is fatty liver. Rosiglitazone has been shown to be effective in the treatment of patients with fatty liver alone. This study hopes to show that the addition of Rosiglitazone to the standard therapy in genotype 1 patients with fatty liver disease will increase effectiveness of the standard therapy of hepatitis C.

This is a treatment study trial, in which we will assess the safety and tolerability of daily dose IL-2, as monotherapy for 12 weeks, followed by IL2 in combination with PEG-IFN and RBV for 48 weeks in the treatment of chronic Hepatitis C.

This study will explore the safety and antiviral activity of ABI-H0731 when added to a nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NrtI) in participants who are partially virologically suppressed.

Part 1 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple ascending doses of EDP-721 in healthy subjects. Part 2 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity of EDP-721 in combination with EDP-514 in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy in terms of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) changes from baseline for the treatment regimens of 24 weeks of JNJ-73763989 + 24 weeks of nucleos(t)ide analog (NA) + 12 or 24 weeks of pegylated interferon alpha-2a (PegIFN-alpha-2a) (with immediate or delayed start of PegIFN-alpha-2a treatment).
