Filter by:The objectives are 1. to determine the immunological profile (CD4+, CD8+ cells, DTH) induced by immunization with HCV antigen peptide vaccine with polyarginine. 2. to document virological (HCV-RNA) and biochemical (ALT) responses following immunization with HCV antigen peptide vaccine with polyarginine. 3. to assess the safety of immunization with HCV antigen peptide vaccine with polyarginine.
The proposed project will apply a unique, effective family-responsive psychoeducation program, PsychoEducation Responsive to Families (PERF), for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) treatment. The goal is to demonstrate that the intervention will enlarge the eligibility of some patients for HCV treatment and help sustain others through it.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether motivational enhancement therapy (MET) reduces alcohol use in a population of HCV-infected veterans who are currently drinking alcohol and have alcohol disorders. We hypothesize that veterans with HCV, an alcohol use disorder and continued excessive alcohol use who receive MET will have a greater reduction in the number of standard alcohol drinks per week and a greater percentage of days abstinent than veterans who receive health education control intervention.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a 6-session motivational interviewing intervention is more effective than a 6-session educational intervention at reducing behaviors that may lead to infection, transmission, and progression of HIV and hepatitis C among out of treatment injecting drug users.
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.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and HCV(Hepatitis C virus) RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) kinetics after administration of MP-424 to patients with chronic hepatitis C.
Researchers want to see whether Sho-saiko-to (SST) can help in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Chronic hepatitis C may cause swelling within the liver and this can lead to scar tissue. In some patients, severe scarring of the liver, liver failure and liver cancer can occur. Standard treatment for chronic hepatitis C is a drug called interferon with or without another drug called ribavirin. There are a number of side effects that some patients are unable to take. Other patients may have an initial response, but then the virus and the inflammation come back. Sho-saiko-to is an herbal medicine that has been used for many years in Asia to treat liver disease. The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether Sho-saiko-to may improve liver swelling and injury caused by chronic hepatitis C.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity and safety of telaprevir on Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotype 4, alone or in combination with standard therapy, that is, pegylated-interferon-alfa-2a and ribavirin in treatment-naive (never been treated before with antiretroviral therapy) participants.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of the drugs Pegasys and Copegus when used for hepatitis C genotypes 6, 7, 8, and 9. Patients are randomly assigned (by chance) to either Treatment Group A (Pegasys and Copegus for 24 weeks) or Treatment Group B (Pegasys and Copegus for 48 weeks).
The purpose of this study is to determine if CTS-1027 can lower elevated liver enzymes in patients with chronic HCV infection.
