Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis"

The study vaccine has been developed for use in pre-dialysis/ haemodialysis patients and immuno-compromised individuals who could have or had a sub-optimal response following vaccination for hepatitis B with currently available commercial vaccines (target population). This study will aim to confirm in a clinical setting the consistency of production of three lots of the vaccine.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of PEGASYS plus ribavirin in male patients with hemophilia A and chronic hepatitis C. All patients will receive PEGASYS 180 micrograms s.c. weekly plus ribavirin 1000-1200mg p.o. daily (depending on body weight) for 48 weeks. Following treatment there will be a 24 week period of treatment-free follow-up. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy, safety and tolerability of different regimens of TMC435 with standard treatment compared to standard treatment alone in participants with chronic, genotype 1, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who has failed previous treatment with pegylated interferon (Peg-INF-alfa-2a) and ribavirin (RBV).

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the potential effect of TMC435 on the sensitivity of the skin towards exposure to sunlight. TMC435 is a drug that is currently under development for treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection. This study will be conducted in healthy volunteers. Ciprofloxacin, a commonly used antibiotic, is used as a positive control as this drug is known to mildly increase skin sensitivity to exposure to sunlight. This study also evaluates the levels of TMC435 and ciprofloxacin in the blood circulation and the safety and tolerability of TMC435.

To establish that at least 1 dose of daclatasvir combined with standard of care (pegylated interferon and ribavirin) is safe and well tolerated and demonstrates extended rapid virologic response rates at least 35% greater than those with placebo.

The purpose of this study is to determine if DV-601, an investigational, therapeutic vaccine will be well-tolerated and induce hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific virological and immunological responses in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination treatment of CTS-1027, pegylated interferon and ribavirin can improve the response rates in HCV patients who did not previously respond to pegylated interferon and ribavirin therapy.

In patients with chronic hepatitis C, the ultimate treatment goal is the improvement of liver histology and inhibition of progression to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). These effects are reported to be correlated with sustained ALT improvement. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine if a low-dose (0.25, 0.5, or 1.0 mcg/kg SC QW) PegIntron monotherapy administered for 12 weeks will result in ALT normalization in Japanese patients with chronic hepatitis C.

The purpose is to evaluate efficacy and safety of therapeutic Hepatitis B Virus（HBV） vaccine (mimogen-based) treatment in chronic hepatitis B patients and to explore the most effective dosage and provide the rational for optimal dosing schedule.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of EFV (Efavirenz) and TDF (Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) on the pharmacokinetics of TVR (Telaprevir) and to determine the effect of TVR on the pharmacokinetics of EFV and TDF. Pharmacokinetics means how the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream, distributed in the body and eliminated from the body. Furthermore, the short-term safety and tolerability of giving TVR, EFV and TDF together will be evaluated.
