Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C, Chronic"

This Phase 3 clinical study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of two dose levels of Infergen (interferon alfacon-1, CIFN) plus Ribavirin administered daily for 48 weeks and no treatment in patients chronically infected with hepatitis C who are nonresponders to previous pegylated interferon alfa plus ribavirin therapy. Patients are randomized 1:1:1 to receive Interferon Alfacon-1 (9 or 15 µg) + Ribavirin (both administered daily) or no treatment for up to 48 weeks. The protocol and informed consent form that will be used must be approved by the Investigator's Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) before the study is initiated.

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of PEGASYS plus ribavirin in previous intravenous (iv) drug users who have CHC and are currently enrolled in a methadone maintenance treatment program. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.

This Phase II study is being conducted in treatment-naive patients (no previous antiviral therapy for Hepatitis C infection) with genotype-1 chronic hepatitis C to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of valopicitabine alone and together with Pegylated Interferon (a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Hepatitis C infection).

The aim of this study is to prove the efficacy of peginterferon in HIV infected patients with liver disease caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV) when the treatment to eradicate the virus failed. This scientific proof needs a comparative study to be done including two groups of patients randomly allocated: one with the treatment (peginterferon) and the other without any treatment against HCV with a duration of 2 years. To conclude, two liver biopsies are needed; one before the study and a second 2 years after.

This is a non-randomized, open-label, single-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of uprifosbuvir (MK-3682), the M5 and M6 metabolites of uprifosbuvir, and ruzasvir (MK-8408), in participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency (HI), participants with severe HI, and age-matched healthy control participants.

This study examined the influence of ribavirin on the initial virological response in treatment-naïve participants with chronic hepatitis C, genotype 1. Participants were randomized to 1 of 3 treatment groups to receive placebo, ribavirin monotherapy 1000 milligrams (mg) to 1200 mg orally daily depending on body weight or pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) alfa-2a (Pegasys®) 180 micrograms (mcg) subcutaneously (SC) weekly, for 6 weeks. Following the initial 6 weeks, all participants received combination therapy with PEG-IFN alfa-2a plus ribavirin (Copegus®) for 12 weeks. If there was an initial virological response after 12 weeks of combination therapy, treatment could be continued for a further 36 weeks outside of the study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the proportion of subjects achieving sustained virologic response 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12) in adults with genotype 1 (GT1) chronic HCV infection, who received treatment with 3 direct-acting antiviral agents (3-DAAs; ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir) with or without ribavirin.

To assess the pharmacokenetic characteristics of 600 mg BID BI 207127 / 120 mg QD faldaprevir /ribavirin in a small number of GT1b HCV infected patients with mild hepatic impairment (CPA) (Arm 1) versus 400 mg BID BI 207127 / 120 mg QD faldaprevir /ribavirin in a small number of GT1b HCV infected patients with moderate hepatic impairment (CPB) (Arm 2).

This is an open-label, single-arm study of sofosbuvir (GS-7977) and ribavirin (RBV) in adults who have had a liver transplant which has become re-infected with hepatitis C. The treatment period is 24 weeks with up to 48 weeks of follow up. The total time in this study will last up to 72 weeks not including the screening visit.

The objective of this study is to better understand the influence of insulin resistance upon treatment response in hepatitis C virus treated with PEG Intron and Rebetol.
