Filter by:Dose cohorts may be dosed with one of up to 4 possible total weekly doses (0.3 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg, 4 mg). Dose escalation or repetition will be governed by pre-specified safety and activity rules. Subjects will be confined on either days 1-3 and/or days 8-10. Follow-up visits are also required periodically through day 43. Study procedures involve taking blood samples for pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, virologic, and safety assessments.
This open-label, multicenter, treatment response guided study will evaluate the sustained virological response and safety of the triple combination therapy boceprevir, Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) and Copegus (Ribavirin) in previously untreated patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C. In the lead-in phase, patients will receive a dual combination therapy of Pegasys and Copegus for 4 weeks. In the following triple combination therapy phase, 800 mg boceprevir, 180 mcg Pegasys and 1000-1200 mg Copegus will be administered for 24, 32 or 44 weeks; the duration depending on the patient's treatment response. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 48 weeks.
Dose cohorts may be dosed with one of up to 4 possible total weekly doses (0.3 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg, 4 mg). Dose escalation or repetition will be governed by pre-specified safety and activity rules. Subjects will be confined on days 1-3 and/or days 8-10. Follow-up visits are required periodically through day 43. Subjects with sustained reductions in HbsAg will be requested to return for additional follow-up follow-up visits at 3 and 6 months post last dose. Study procedures involve blood draws for pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, virologic, and safety assessments

This registry will remain open for approximately 5 years (4 years of enrollment + 1 year of follow up). Subjects will be followed until Orthotopic Liver Transplant (OLT), resolution of liver decompensation, death, or conclusion of the registry.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-part study will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of orally administered ALS-002200 in healthy volunteers (HV) and subjects with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype 1 infection. Part 1 will assess single ascending dosing pharmacokinetics and safety in HV. Part 2 will assess food effects on pharmacokinetics in HV. Part 3 will assess multiple ascending dosing pharmacokinetics and safety in subjects with CHC genotype 1 infection.
Primary objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine and compare the sustained virologic response (SVR, undetectable HCV RNA at Follow up week 24 (FW24)) across treatment groups. To determine and compare the safety and tolerability of P1101 + Ribavirin across treatment groups.
This open-label, multicenter, phase IV study will evaluate the relationship between the drop in hemoglobin levels and sustained virological response in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 treated with Copegus (ribavirin) and Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a). Patients will receive Copegus 1000 mg or 1200 mg orally daily and Pegasys 180 mcg subcutaneously weekly. Anticipated time on study treatment, depending on virological response, will be 48 or 72 weeks.
Background: - Chronic infection with the hepatitis B virus may lead to cirrhosis, liver disease, and cancer of the liver. There is no cure for the infection, but several drugs have been approved to treat it. These drugs can keep the virus levels low. They seem to be safe for short-term use. But the drugs have not yet been approved for long-term use because some of them can have serious side effects. However, stopping treatment too soon can make the infection worse and may lead to more serious forms of liver disease. Researchers have not been able to determine a when to stop treatment. They want to study people with chronic hepatitis B infection to find out the best time to stop treatment and prevent the disease from causing further liver damage. Objectives: - To study the safety and effectiveness of withdrawing antiviral treatment for chronic hepatitis B after at least 4 years of treatment. - To determine whether stopping long-term antiviral treatment for chronic hepatitis B makes the infection worse. Eligibility: - People who are at least 18 years of age; have been taking antiviral drugs to treat chronic hepatitis B for at least 4 years; and are being evaluated to stop treatment. Design: - Those in the study will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, questionnaire, and blood tests. They will remain under the care of their regular doctor during the study. - They will have an abdominal ultrasound to study scarring in the liver, if they have not had one in the past year. - Those without detectable levels of the hepatitis B virus in their blood will stop antiviral treatment. They will have monthly blood tests for the first 6 months to check virus levels, and then every 3 months afterward. - Those whose blood tests show an increase in virus levels will restart antiviral treatment as directed by the study doctors and their personal doctor. - All those in the study will be monitored until the end of the study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Peginterferon alfa-2b (40KD, Y shape, the followings will refer as Ypeginterferon alfa-2b for short), at a dose of 180μg/week, in combination with Ribavirin in Chinese chronic hepatitis C patients. The study will first group patients into two sub-study, genotype 2/3 and non-genotype 2/3, depending on the HCV genotype that infected. In the genotype 2/3 sub-study about 219 patients will be enrolled, and eligible patients are randomized at 2:1 ratio into Ypeginterferon alfa-2b group or active control group (Pegasys), receiving 24 weeks of interferon therapy and oral daily Ribavirin at a dose of 800mg/d. In the non-genotype 2/3 sub-study about 507 patients will be enrolled, and eligible patients are randomized at 2:1 ratio into Ypeginterferon alfa-2b group or active control group (Pegasys), receiving 48 weeks of interferon therapy and oral daily Ribavirin 1000-1200mg/day , basing on body weight. All patients will be followed for 24 weeks after the end of therapy.
