Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis"

The pathogenesis of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is associated to severe oxidative stress and non-selective immunological disturbance that leads to necro-inflammation and progression of fibrosis. Previous trials suggested that antioxidant and inmunostimulant therapies may have a beneficial effect. The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether Viusid, a nutritional supplement with hepatoprotective properties, could ameliorate the oxidative stress and modulate the immune response in patients with CHC and non-responders to pegylated interferon plus ribavirin, during 24 weeks of treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 4 different regimens of TMC435 in combination with peginterferon alfa-2a (PegIFNα-2a) and ribavirin (RBV), defined as the proportion of patients with sustained virologic response at Week 72 (patients with undetectable plasma HCV RNA [less than 25 IU per mL undetectable] at the end of treatment and at Week 72), compared to the control group receiving PegIFN and RBV in combination with TMC435-matched placebo.

This 7 cohort study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination treatment with an HCV nucleoside polymerase inhibitor(RO5024048)and an HCV protease inhibitor(RO5190591/ITMN-191/danoprevir) in patients with chronic hepatitis C, genotype 1.Cohorts A,B,C,D and G will be treatment-naive patients, cohort E will be treatment-experienced excluding null responders, and cohort F will be null responders. Cohorts A and B will evaluate doses of 500mg po bid RO5024048 and 100mg po q8h RO5190591, alone or in combination, for up to 7 or 14 days. Cohort C will evaluate combination treatment with either 1000mg po bid RO5024048 and 100mg q8h RO5190591 or 500mg po bid RO5024048 and 200mg q8h RO5190591 for 14 days. Cohort D will evaluate 1000mg po bid RO5024048 and 200mg q8h RO5190591 for 14 days.Cohort E will evaluate 1000mg RO5024048/600mg RO5190591 po twice daily for 14 days, and Cohorts F and G will evaluate 1000mg RO5024048/900mg RO5190591 po twice daily for 14 days. Cohorts will be tested sequentially or in parallel, if supported by appropriate safety and pharmacokinetic data.Following the last dose of study medication patients have the option of continuing treatment with Standard of care therapies. The anticipated time on study treatment is <3 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.

A Study to assess the general safety and tolerability of the administration of a 3-dose prime/boost regimen of the MRKAd5 HIV-1 gag vaccine (V520) in subjects with chronic hepatitis C virus infection.

The purpose of this study was to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity of ABT-333 (also known as dasabuvir) in treatment-naïve, hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected participants.

This study is designed to test the hypothesis that treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection during the first 6 months after acquiring HCV among people who already have pre-existing HIV infection will result in improved responses to HCV therapy with a shorter duration of infection.

A short 14 day phase 1 study examining 6 monotherapy doses of oral tamoxifen for safety in chronic HCV patients who have failed standard treatment of peginterferon and ribavirin.

This is a randomized, open-labelled, prospective 96-week study comparing the antiviral efficacy and safety of switching to entecavir 0.5mg QD from lamivudine versus maintaining lamivudine 100mg QD treatment in CHB patients currently receiving lamivudine monotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of two dosages of PegIntron for treating hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive chronic hepatitis B compared with the approved dosage, which is PegIntron 1.0 microgram (mcg)/kg given once a week for 24 weeks. This study compares dosages of (1) 1.5 mcg/kg once a week for 24 weeks and (2) 1.5 mcg/kg once a week for 48 weeks with the approved dosage. All subjects are followed for 24 weeks after their treatment ends.

The purposes of the PLUS study were to confirm the safety and tolerability of two doses of LocteronTM (320 ug and 640 ug) dosed over four weeks in patients who had failed prior anti-HCV therapies (Panels A and B), and then to continue to study the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of the same two doses of LocteronTM (320 ug and 640 ug) in treatment-naïve genotype 1 HCV patients when Locteron dosed over 12 weeks (Panel C). All subjects were also to receive oral daily weight-based ribavirin.
