Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis"

The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with Pegylated Interferon Lambda-1a, given in combination with Ribavirin and Daclatasvir for 24 weeks, is as safe and effective as the standard treatment with Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2a + Ribavirin + Telaprevir in subjects who are infected with Chronic Hepatitis C virus genotype 1b and have never received any prior anti-HCV treatment, or who have relapsed after an initial, successful treatment with Pegylated Interferon Alfa + Ribavirin

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a Response Guided Therapy of boceprevir 800 mg dosed three times a day (TID) orally (PO) in combination with Peginterferon (either alpha 2b or alpha 2a) and Ribavirin in HIV/HCV genotype 1 infected patients that failed to previous HCV therapy.

This study is aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of Peginterferon alfa-2b (40kD, Y-shape), in a dose of 180μg/week, in chronic hepatitis B patients, and collects sufficient evidences for the listed of the studied drug.

The study is a first in man, dose escalation study that will measure the safety and efficacy of TT-034 in the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C. The study is divided into 5 dose levels. Subjects will be given a single dose delivered by IV infusion. The subjects will be monitored and the data analyzed. After a set time, between 6 and 10 weeks depending on the dose level, the next set of subjects will be dosed. The study drug is a gene therapy treatment that produces molecules that destroy the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in infected cells. Once the study drug is given, it cannot be withdrawn. Additionally, once an individual receives a dose, he or she will not be able to receive a second dose, but will remain eligible to receive most other HCV treatments.

Patients with chronic hepatitis genotype 1b, who are intolerant or ineligible to Interferon alfa therapy with or without Ribavirin, will be treated for 24 weeks with Daclatasvir (DCV) Dual regimen (= Daclatasvir + Asunaprevir) and followed for an additional 24 weeks post-treatment in order to determine the safety and efficacy of the DCV DUAL regimen

This is a multi-part study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of uprifosbuvir (MK-3682/IDX21437) in healthy participants and in participants infected with Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (GT)1-GT6. The effect of food on the PK of uprifosbuvir will be evaluated. The antiviral activity of uprifosbuvir will also be assessed in HCV-infected participants.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Entecavir maleate tablets in Chinese patients with hepatitis B

Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B on long term oral antiviral therapy have to continue treatment indefinitely unless they achieve HBeAg seroconversion or HBsAg seroclearance, when therapy can be stopped. While HBeAg seroconversion is a more achievable endpoint, only 20-25% of patients develop this after one year of oral antiviral therapy. HBsAg seroclearance is universally infrequent. Strategies to improve these endpoints such as combination oral antiviral therapy have not been generally successful and recently studies have examined the possibility of switching or adding peginterferon therapy. However these have not been tested adequately in the group of patients that have been on long term oral antiviral therapy. Consequently this study was conceived to evaluate whether switching or adding peginterferon compared to continuing oral antiviral therapy are more efficacious strategies. HBeAg positive and HBeAg negative patients (n=310)will be randomised to continue oral antiviral therapy, switch or add pegylated interferon for 48 weeks in a ratio of 1:2:2 respectively. The study endpoints are HBsAg seroclearance, reduction of qHBsAg >1 log, qHBsAg<200 IU/ml, HBeAg loss and seroconversion, and HBV DNA suppression, all at week 72.

Response-guided triple-therapy with boceprevir (BOC) in combination with pegylated interferon (PEGIFN) and ribavirin (RBV) is the current standard of care for HIV-negative patients infected with hepatitis C genotype (HCV-GT) 1. In contrast, in HIV-positive patients, a fixed treatment duration of 48 weeks is used. The aim of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of response-guided triple-therapy with BOC in combination with PEGIFN and RBV in HIV-positive patients. Thus, treatment duration will be individualized based on HCV-RNA negativity at treatment week 8 (W8). All patients will receive 4 weeks of PEGIFN/RBV lead-in. Patients with undetectable HCV-RNA at W8 will be treated with 24 weeks of BOC/PEGIFN/RBV triple-therapy resulting in a total treatment duration of 28 weeks, while patients with detectable HCV-RNA at W8 will receive 44 weeks of BOC/PEGIFN/RBV triple-therapy and a total treatment duration of 48 weeks.

PPI-383 is an antiviral agent (an inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase) that is being developed as a potential treatment for hepatitis C virus infection. This study is being done to assess the dose-related safety and tolerance of PPI-383 when given to healthy volunteers for up to 5 days (Part I of the study) and to hepatitis C patients for up to 3 days (Part II). In addition, the study will assess how much PPI-383 is absorbed into the bloodstream. In Part II, the dose-related effect of PPI-383 on the amount of hepatitis C virus in patients' bloodstream (serum HCV RNA levels) also will be assessed.
