Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

This multicenter, randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial is focused on novel treatments for severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH), a life-threatening stage of alcoholic liver injury that has a short-term mortality rate much higher than that of other liver diseases. The primary objective of the study is to determine the clinical efficacy and safety of Anakinra (plus zinc) compared to the current standard medical treatment consisting of prednisone in participants with clinically severe AH. Key secondary objectives broadly are as follows: (a) to evaluate the use of biomarkers to assess disease severity and treatment response; and (b) to develop novel endpoints to overcome the limitations of current assessment strategies for severe AH.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending doses of Hanferon™ in combination with ribavirin (RBV). The secondary objective of this study is to define the PK and PD of ascending doses of Hanferon™ in combination with RBV. The exploratory objective of this study is to make a preliminary assessment of Hanferon™ efficacy in combination with RBV.

The main objective of antiviral therapy of patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is the sustained elimination of the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The standard of care (SOC) is peginterferon alfa-2a/-2b with ribavirin for 48 weeks or 24 weeks according to HCV genotype. However, this approach is not sufficient to substantially improve the sustained virologic response (SVR) rates. Therefore, new therapies are needed to treat patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Nitazoxanide (NTZ), originally used to treat cryptosporidium parvum infection, recently was shown to have an unexpected antiviral activity in the HCV replicon system and in chronically infected patients. The aim of this work is to study impact of nitazoxanide therapy in addition to peginterferon/ribavirin combination on virologic responses in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 4. Patients will be enrolled in this study and will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio into 2 groups: Group A: comprises 100 CHC patients who will receive the standard of care treatment, peginterferon-alf 2a plus weight-based ribavirin for 48 weeks. Group B: comprises 100 CHC patients who will receive nitazoxanide monotherapy at a dose of 500 mg twice daily for 12 weeks as a lead-in phase followed by triple therapy, nitazoxanide 500 mg twice daily plus peginterferon alfa-2a, and weight-based ribavirin for 48 weeks. Data will be collected and statistical analysis will be done comparing the groups regarding response to antiviral therapy. Final results will be discussed and compared to similar studies published in peer reviewed journals and international conferences.

The goal of this study is to translate laboratory findings that Quercetin, a bioflavonoid, is safe and has antiviral activity in people with hepatitis C.

This study is to determine the safety and Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of INH-08189 dosed once a day (QD), two times a day (BID) or adjunctively with Ribavirin and a study of the food effect in Chronically-infected Genotype 1 Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Treatment-naïve subjects.

The purpose of this study is to provide anti-hepatitis C virus drugs to patients who received placebo + peginterferon alfa-2a + ribavirin in prior Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) studies and determine whether addition of these drugs results in higher cure rates in patients who previously failed therapy. Approximately 100 genotype 1b patients who received placebo in BMS study NCT01428063 (AI447-028) will receive active drugs in this study.

This is a Phase 2 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of GS-5885, GS-9451, Tegobuvir and Ribavirin (RBV) Compared with GS-5885, GS-9451 with Tegobuvir or RBV in Treatment-Experienced Subjects with Chronic Genotype 1a or 1b Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection.

Vitamin D deficiency is commonly found in patients with chronic hepatitis C. The investigators hypothesize that the correction of hypovitaminosis D before the initiation of anti-HCV combination therapy and the maintenance of an optimal vitamin D status during antiviral therapy could improve the antiviral efficacy

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of silymarin on outcomes of patients with hepatitis C.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether therapy with the combination of PSI-7977 and daclatasvir (BMS-790052) with or without ribavirin is effective in treating hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection when given for 12 or 24 weeks as measured by sustained virologic response with undetectable HCV RNA 12 weeks post treatment
