Filter by:This prospective observational study will investigate predictive values of virological response in pegylated interferon alfa-2a (Pegasys)/ribavirin (Copegus) treatment-naive participants with chronic hepatitis C. Participants will be treated with pegylated interferon alfa-2a and ribavirin as prescribed by the physician. Data will be collected for a maximum of 96 weeks.
Chronic hepatitis C is endemic in Egypt with a high prevalence of the resistant genotype 4. Conventional standard of care treatment has modest response with only 50% sustained virologic response. Recent reports have suggested an augmented response with the addition of vitamin D. This is a prospective randomized trial to assess the effectiveness of adding vitamin D to standard of care for chronic hepatitis C genotype 4.
Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic disease of the liver caused by an alteration of the immune response that attacks the body's own hepatocytes, progressively, leading to cirrhosis and liver failure. There are few studies on dietary management in hepatitis and most of theme have focused on micronutrients specifically vitamin D to prevent osteoporosis, and decreased symptoms of other diseases associated, but few recommendations have been made regarding a complete dietary approach. Fiber has been proven to increase the excretion of nitrogen products and consequently reduce its blood levels and an adequate protein intake (1.2g/kg) has shown to decrease endogenous catabolism in cirrhotics patients. The implementation of a high protein high fiber nutrition plan and improves nutritional status of patients with autoimmune cirrhosis.
Hypothesis Combination of Boceprevir with Ribavirin in treatment-naïve patients with genotype 4 chronic hepatitis C infection will increase the proportion of patients achieving sustained viral response compared to standard treatment alone.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the antiviral efficacy of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF; TDF) versus placebo in pediatric population (aged 2 to < 12 years at the time of enrollment) with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection.
It is a multi-center study of the efficacy of a new Pegylated Hansenula-derived recombinant interferon α 2a (Reiferon Retard® 160 µg once weekly in combination with ribavirin in treatment of Egyptian patients with chronic hepatitis C for 48 weeks. hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load will be assessed during therapy at weeks 12, 24 and end of treatment, as well as 24 weeks after therapy is completed.
GSK2336805 is a novel hepatitis C virus (HCV) non-structural 5A (NS5A) inhibitor being developed for the treatment of chronic HCV infection. This Phase II, multicenter, parallel-group, randomized, dose-ranging study will assess the safety and tolerability, antiviral activity, and pharmacokinetics of GSK2336805 at 2 dose levels (40 and 60 mg) in combination with pegylated interferon alfa-2a (PEG) and ribavirin (RIBA) in approximately 100 treatment-naïve subjects with chronic genotype 1 HCV infection. In a separate nonrandomized single-arm cohort, up to 15 treatment-naïve subjects with genotype 4 chronic HCV infection will be enrolled in parallel at the dose level of 60 mg of GSK2336805.
The proposed study will investigate the knowledge level, attitudes, and perceptions among staff of Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT) clinics and intravenous drug users (IDUs) who attending MMT clinics, which is the most reachable population for HCV/HIV intervention in China. This study will also explore the barriers that prevent IDUs from getting HCV/HIV intervention/prevention and medical care services. This study will help to understand and address this important problem in China and other Asian countries.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and affect on blood levels of miravirsen and telaprevir when administered together.
This multicenter, prospective, observational study will evaluate the one-year outcomes in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B patients who had received Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) in Arm A of study ML22265. Data will be collected from each patient for up to one year post-therapy.
