Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis"

The gold-standard treatment of Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), with prednisone alone or in conjunction with azathioprine can reach resolution of the disease in 70-80% of the cases in US. However, in Brazil the response to these treatments seems to be worse, approximately 35% in five years. Because of the side effects of the gold-standard treatment and the need for an alternative option for the no responsive patients, news drugs must be evaluated for this proposal. Chloroquine diphosphate is an antimalarial drug that has been used for the treatment of rheumatological diseases for at the least five decades. Chloroquine was used as a single drug for up to two years for the maintenance of AIH remission in an open study. There was a 6.49 greater chance of relapse in the historical controls when compared with patients treated with chloroquine (72.2% x 23.5%; p = 0.031). The aim of this study was to investigate whether chloroquine in conjunction with prednisone can be used as an alternative treatment of AIH in a randomized study, and to evaluate its side effects.

The primary objectives of this study are to determine the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) in adults with acute genotype 1 or 4 hepatitis C virus (HCV) and chronic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 co-infection.

To explore the effective dose and safety of the effect of hydronidone and entecavir on hepatic fibrosis in chronic viral hepatitis B.

This study evaluates the safety and immunogenicity of FP-02.2, a new therapeutic Hepatitis B vaccine, administered as an add-on therapy to entecavir or tenofovir.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a regimen consisting of daclatasvir and asunaprevir is effective in treatment-naive patients with chronic hepatitis genotype 1b infection.

To evaluate the effect of ribavirin on second phase plasma hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) decline in participants who receive ombitasvir/ABT-450/ritonavir and dasabuvir with full dose ribavirin, low dose ribavirin or without ribavirin for 2 weeks in treatment-naive HCV genotype (GT) 1a-infected adults.

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed dose combination (FDC) with or without ribavirin (RBV) in Egyptian adults with chronic genotype 4 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

The primary objective of this pilot trial is to compare the efficacy, measured as sustained virologic response (SVR) at least 12 weeks after completion of therapy, across three study regimens/delivery modalities: Arm 1 - 4 weeks of sofosbuvir (SOF) + daclatasvir (DAC) + pegylated interferon alfa-2a (PEG) delivered using directly observed therapy (DOT); Arm 2 - 12 weeks of SOF+DAC delivered using DOT; and Arm 3 - 12 weeks of SOF+DAC delivered as per standard of care (monthly dispensation with no DOT). Secondary objectives are 1)To compare the cost per SVR for each of the three study arms; 2) To compare adherence among persons across the three study arms; 3) To evaluate the safety, tolerability and acceptability of treatment in the three arms.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of 12 weeks of simeprevir (150 mg qd) in combination with sofosbuvir (400 mg qd) in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infected men and women with cirrhosis who are HCV treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced.

This proof of concept study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity of TD-6450 in treatment naïve subjects with GT-1, GT-2 or GT-3 chronic HCV.
