Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis A"

This is a study of combination direct-acting antiviral agents (DAA) with or without ribavirin (RBV) in patients with chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).

Background: Chronic hepatitis D is a severe disease of the liver caused by infection with the hepatitis D virus. The hepatitis D virus can only infect a person who also has hepatitis B; therefore, people with delta hepatitis have both hepatitis B and hepatitis D virus infection. Most people with hepatitis D eventually develop cirrhosis, which causes scarring and damage to the liver. There is currently no effective treatment for chronic hepatitis D. Lonafarnib is a drug that was originally designed to treat different types of cancer. It may be able to prevent the hepatitis D virus from reproducing itself. However, it has not been tested on people with hepatitis D. Researchers want to study different doses of lonafarnib to see how they affect virus levels and other symptoms of hepatitis D. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of lonafarnib as a treatment for chronic hepatitis D. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have chronic hepatitis D. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests, eye exams, and imaging studies of the liver and gall bladder. A liver biopsy may also be performed. Participants will receive either lonafarnib or placebo twice a day for 28 days. For the first 3 days, participants will stay in the hospital to have frequent blood tests. Participants will have four more clinic visits (on days 7, 14, 21, and 28) for blood and urine tests. Eye exams and heart function tests will also be given. Men may be asked to provide sperm samples for further testing. After the 28 days of treatment, participants will stop taking the drug or placebo. They will have regular followup visits for up to 6 months after stopping treatment....

This study will assess the efficacy of boceprevir (BOC) in combination with PegIntron (pegylated interferon alfa-2b) (PEG) and ribavirin (RBV) in response guided therapy compared to the efficacy of standard-of-care therapy alone in adult subjects with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype 1 who failed prior treatment with pegylated interferon and RBV in the Asia Pacific population. The primary hypothesis is that the proportion of participants achieving sustained virologic response in the experimental therapy regimen (BOC/PEG+RBV) is superior to that in the control arm (Placebo/PEG+RBV), in the Full Analysis Set (FAS) population.

Hepatitis C virus when it leaves the cells in the liver is bound to a type of fat. An component of grapefruit could block this fat and thus lower the amount of virus in the blood stream. We propose that treatment with this ingredient, called naringenin, could be used to block this fat and HCV in persons infected with hepatitis C.

The purpose of this study is to compare the adefovir early add-on to rescue therapy strategy, and also explore the efficacy of Lamivudine and adefovir de-novo combination therapy.

This is a Phase 2b, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial Evaluating Response Guided Therapy with GS-5885 Alone or in Combination with GS-9451 with Peginterferon Alfa 2a and Ribavirin in Treatment Naïve Subjects with Chronic Genotype 1 Hepatitis C Virus Infection.

The purposes of this study are: To evaluate whether treatment with peginterferon and ribavirin for 24 weeks is sufficient to achieve a sustained virological response (SVR) rate comparable to that observed with the standard treatment duration of 48 weeks, in hepatitis C virus genotype 1 (HCV-1) patients achieving a rapid virologic response (RVR; <50 IU/mL HCV RNA at week 4) at 4 weeks. To investigate the role of on-treatment virological responses among patients with 24 or 48 weeks treatment.

A double-blind randomized, parallel, multicenter with 48 weeks of treatment period. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and antiviral activity of 48-week Clevudine and Adefovir dipivoxil in HBeAg(-) Chronic Hepatitis B with compensated liver function.

This study examines the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a single dose of MDX-1106 in patients with active hepatitis C genotype 1 or mixed hepatitis C genotype infection.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of 4 regimens of Vaniprevir + Peg-IFN and Ribavirin as compared to Placebo (PBO) + Peg-IFN/RBV. The primary hypotheses are that Vaniprevir is well tolerated, and that Vaniprevir 600 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) is superior to the control regimen for the percentage of non-cirrhotic (NC) participants achieving undetectable HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) 24 weeks after the end of study therapy (SVR24).
