Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of clevudine and peg-interferon in sequence compared with clevudine alone in the patients with HBeAg(+) chronic Hepatitis B or clevudine and peg-interferon sequential treatment in patients with chronic Hepatitis B who have HBeAg(+)

Genotype 1: Participants with genotype 1 hepatitis C (HCV) infection were randomized to receive sofosbuvir (GS-7977; PSI-7977) 200 mg or 400 mg, or matching placebo, plus pegylated interferon alfa 2a (PEG) and ribavirin (RBV) for 12 weeks, followed by PEG+RBV for an up to an additional 36 weeks. Randomization was stratified by IL28B status (CC, CT, TT) and HCV RNA level (< 800,000 IU/ml or ≥ 800,000 IU/ml) at baseline. Participants were randomized in a 2:2:1 manner; those who achieved an extended rapid virologic response (eRVR) (HCV RNA < lower limit of detection [15 IU/mL] from Weeks 4 through 12) received an additional 12 weeks of PEG+RBV. Subjects not achieving eRVR received an additional 36 weeks of PEG+RBV. Genotype 2 and 3: Participants with genotype 2 or 3 hepatitis C (HCV) received sofosbuvir 400 mg plus PEG+RBV for 12 weeks.

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination RO5024048 and ritonavir-boosted danoprevir with and without Copegus (ribavirin) in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. In arm A and B, interferon treatment-naïve patients will receive 1000 mg RO5024048 orally twice daily and 100 mg danoprevir with 100 mg ritonavir orally twice daily plus either Copegus (1000 mg or 1200 mg orally daily) or placebo for 12 weeks. Depending on viral response and treatment arm patients will be re-randomized to continue assigned treatment for additional 12 weeks or stop all treatment. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 24 weeks plus a 24-week follow-up. As of 29. September 2011, Arm B patients (placebo-containing arm) will be offered, in conjunction with the current treatment, Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) 180 mcg subcutaneously weekly plus Copegus 1000mg or 1200 mg orally daily for 24 weeks, with a 24-week follow-up.

This study will test the safety and effectiveness of a new treatment for hepatitis C (HCV) in patients who also have HIV. The usual treatment for HCV in people who are not HIV-infected is interferon-alfa (IFN) with ribavirin (RBV), an approved treatment by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study will use a new, longer acting form of IFN called PEG-IFN alfa-2b. PEG-IFN alfa-2b is approved by the FDA for use in treating HCV but has not yet been approved for use with RBV. This study also will use IL-2, which is a substance that the body naturally produces. People with HIV infection usually do not make enough IL-2. IL-2 is being tested in this study to see if it will "boost" the immune system's response to HCV. The FDA has approved IL-2 for the treatment of some cancers.

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether the initial response to interferon alfa (IFN-A) can be increased by starting at a dose of 5 MU three times a week in patients with chronic hepatitis C. II. Determine whether patients who had normalized alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels can maintain normal ALT during stepwise dose reduction from 5 MU to 3 MU to 1.5 MU.

The primary objective for this study is to determine if the addition of filibuvir to a standard regimen of peginterferon/ribavirin (pegIFN/RBV) significantly increases the proportion of subjects who achieve a sustained viral response (SVR) compared to peginterferon/ribavirin (pegIFN/RBV) therapy alone.

This is a study designed to identify a dose of NIM811 that has a good safety profile, is well tolerated when co-administered with SOC, and provides a clinically meaningful effect in viral load reduction compared to SOC alone. This information will be used to support doses selected for future studies.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether BMS-650032 and BMS-790052 in combination alone, together with Ribavirin, or together with Interferon and Ribavirin are effective in the treatment of Hepatitis C in patients who have not responded to prior therapy.

Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) can cause liver scarring, or cirrhosis, and this usually occurs more rapidly among people infected with both HCV and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). People infected with both HCV and HIV have poor response to the current HCV treatments. This phase II pilot study evaluated whether adding a new HCV medication improves response to the current standard HCV treatment with pegylated interferon and ribavirin in people with both HCV and HIV.
