Filter by:This is a multi-center cross-sectional study in which the Real-time Tissue Elastography® measurements will be collected prospectively from patients with chronic hepatitis B or C virus presenting for liver biopsy.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether therapy with the combination of PSI-7977 and daclatasvir (BMS-790052) with or without ribavirin is effective in treating hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection when given for 12 or 24 weeks as measured by sustained virologic response with undetectable HCV RNA 12 weeks post treatment
Sustained virological response (SVR) to antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 according to subtype (1a vs.1b) has not been extensively investigated. This observational study was carried out on a large group of "naïve" HCV patients to evaluate difference, if any, between HCV genotype 1 subtype 1a and 1b on the response to treatment with peginterferon (Peg-IFN) plus ribavirin.
This is a non-interventional study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination study drugs in the treatment of participants diagnosed with Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC). CHC participants with confirmed positive hepatitis-C virus (HCV) RNA in plasma, and who have not been previously treated with the Pegylated interferon (PegIntron) Pen, were enrolled into study.
To explore the effect on early viral kinetics and viral load, and to determine safety, tolerability and anti-viral response for the plasmid DNA vaccine CHRONVAC-C administered i.m. in combination with electroporation followed by standard of care (SOC) in treatment naïve chronic HCV genotype 1 patients.
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and 4-week rapid virologic response (RVR) of 3 different doses of ABT-267 (also known as ombitasvir) in combination with pegylated interferon/ribavirin (pegIFN/RBV) compared with pegIFN/RBV alone (ABT-267 placebo) in treatment naïve, hepatitis C virus (HCV), genotype 1-infected participants.
This is an extension of ongoing study SCI-SCV-HCV-P2-001 in which subjects will be invited to participate in this extension study if they complete treatment in study SCI-SCV-HCV-P2-001 and are eligible for retreatment with peg-IFN and RBV.
This study will examine the effectiveness of 15 days of therapy with SCY-635 in reducing hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA levels.
Patients for whom treatment with peginterferon plus ribavirin was unsuccessful represent a category of patients for whom there is currently no worthwhile therapeutic alternative. Several studies have shown that there is a relation between plasma ribavirin concentrations and treatment response. Adequate ribavirin plasma concentrations, especially during the first 12 weeks of treatment, should be associated with a better chance of response to the treatment. The strategy for this study will be to use a loading dose of ribavirin before beginning the treatment with peg-interferon, thereby allowing for optimal ribavirin concentrations to be reached, and possibly improving the effectiveness of the treatment.
Chronic hepatitis C has become an endemic disease in Egypt with a rising prevalence (genotype 4), worldwide it also poses a significant health burden. To date standard of care treatment (pegylated interferon and ribavirin) give modest results with a sustained virological response (SVR) of about 50%. Several pharmaceutical and herbal agents have been used with an aim to improve current results. Recent reports have suggested an increased SVR with the addition of Nitazoxanide to standard of care. The results are preliminary and need to be confirmed. This is a randomized trial to assess the efficacy of nitazoxanide added to standard of care compared to standard of care alone.
