Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis"

In this study the investigators will determine risk factors for liver fibrosis among HIV-HBV co-infected patients in Lusaka, Zambia, and assess the long-term effectiveness of antiretroviral drugs in the prevention and/or reduction of liver disease.

Steroid is the treatment of choice in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis. However, null- or partial responder of steroid treatment is recommended to consider liver transplantation. The yearly demand for liver transplants far exceeds the supply of available organs and alcoholic liver disease has been a controversial indication for transplantation. Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) has been reported to have effect of proliferation of hepatic progenitors in alcoholic steatohepatitis. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of G-CSF in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis with null or partial response to steroid.

Treatment protocol to see if people with hepatitis C (HCV) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are treated with Harvoni for 12 weeks have improvements in their kidney disease.

Patients with HBeAG positive, chronic HBV infection will receive either ARC-520 or placebo in combination with entecavir or tenofovir, and be evaluated for safety and efficacy.

There still remains the question if hepatitis C eradication with all oral therapy will lead to a regression or cure of the low grade lymphoma. Thus, the hypothesis of this study is that oral HCV therapy will lead to a high rate of hepatitis C eradication which will correlate with a reduction of the size and extent of low-grade lymphoma. The hypothesis of this study is that subjects with hepatitis C,regardless of genotype, who have low grade lymphoma, when treated for hepatitis C without pegylated interferon will have a regression of low grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In this pilot study we will evaluate the effect of Sofosbuvir/ledipasvir or sofosbuvir/ribavirin based antiviral therapy on the course of a subset of HCV-related low grade B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Primary Objective This study will assess the safety, as measured by adverse events, in subjects receiving hepatitis C treatment. Secondary Objective The secondary objective of this study is to assess the rate of overall response of B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma defined as either as partial response or complete response according to revised international working group criteria for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Primary Endpoint Safety and tolerability of sofosbuvir/ledipasvir or sofosbuvir/ribavirin in subjects with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma will be assessed by number of adverse events and serious adverse events. In addition, the study will assess the number of subjects who had to stop treatment due to adverse events or serious adverse events. The study will also examine the number of subjects in which treatment for lymphoma had to be given due to clinical progression. Secondary Endpoints The secondary endpoint(s) of this study is to (1) Assess the rate of overall response of B-cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma defined as either as partial response or complete response according to revised international working group criteria for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. (2) Determine the rate of sustained viral response in subjects with low-grade lymphoma.

This study is an open-label, multi-center trial to evaluate the novel 2-drug regimen of uprifosbuvir (MK-3682) 450 mg and ruzasvir (MK-8408) 60 mg in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (GT)1, GT2, GT3, GT4, GT5, or GT6 infection. The impact of the study treatment regimen on the percentage of participants with undetectable HCV ribonucleic acid [RNA] 12 weeks after completing study treatment (SVR12) will be evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ARC-520 in combination with entecavir is effective in the treatment of patients with chronic HBV Infection.

A multi-part study to evaluate the safety and PK of single ascending doses of IDX21549 in healthy and HCV-infected subjects. The effect of food on the PK of IDX21549 will also be evaluated. Antiviral activity will also be assessed in HCV-infected subjects.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver disease is the most common indication for liver transplantation (LT). However, LT does not cure the infection, and therapeutic strategies resulted in very limited efficacy and tolerability in LT recipients. In view of its postulated safety profile, Silibinin seems an ideal drug to be used in the setting of HCV recurrent patients after liver transplantation.

The purpose of this study is to assess the optimal dose of EBP921 by comparing the efficacy and safety of 2 dose regimens in patients with chronic HDV.
