Filter by:Nucleotide analogues are associated in the long term with a risk of proximal tubular nephropathy (PT) with loss of phosphate, and, when compensatory mechanisms are overwhelmed, with osteopenia or osteoporosis. This toxicity has been particularly documented for tenofovir (TDF) in HIV disease, but its prevalence varies widely in the literature and is mainly associated with comorbidities: on average this prevalence is 0.39% after 48 weeks with exceptional cases of Fanconi syndrome described. In HBV monoinfection after 60 months of treatment with TDF, an 11% decrease of creatinine clearance (CreatCl) is observed. A single study showed a significant increase in creatinine level with entecavir (ETV) therapy, a second-generation nucleoside, hitherto not described as nephrotoxic. Furthermore, if the direct renal toxic effect characteristic of HIV in the kidney is well known, the role of HBV is less clear. Thus, HBV treatment appears to have a renal protective effect. The monitoring tools recommended by the SPC, CreatCl and plasma phosphorus level are late markers of tubular damage. The threshold of phosphate tubular reabsorption (TmPi/GFR) and the fractional excretion of uric acid (FEUA) are unexpensive early screening tools. However, the long-term evolution of this subclinical tubular involvement in HBV monoinfection is not known.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of telaprevir administered as 750 mg every 8 hours (q8h) in combination with pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN)-alfa-2a and ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced Russian participants with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C.
The purpose of this study is to assess the anti-viral activity of BMS-790052 and BMS-650032 combination therapy in Japanese subjects.
Background: - Chronic hepatitis D is a severe disease of the liver caused by infection with the hepatitis D virus. The hepatitis D virus can only infect a person who also has hepatitis B; therefore, people with delta hepatitis have both hepatitis B and hepatitis D virus infection. Most people with hepatitis D eventually develop cirrhosis, which causes scarring and damage to the liver. There is currently no effective treatment for chronic hepatitis D. - Lonafarnib is a drug that was originally designed to treat different types of cancer. It may be able to prevent the hepatitis D virus from reproducing itself. However, it has not been tested on people with hepatitis D. Researchers want to study different doses of lonafarnib to see how they affect virus levels and other symptoms of hepatitis D. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of lonafarnib as a treatment for chronic hepatitis D. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have chronic hepatitis D. Design: - Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests, eye exams, and imaging studies of the liver and gall bladder. A liver biopsy may also be performed. - Participants will receive either lonafarnib or placebo twice a day for 28 days. For the first 3 days, participants will stay in the hospital to have frequent blood tests. Participants will have four more clinic visits (on days 7, 14, 21, and 28) for blood and urine tests. Eye exams and heart function tests will also be given. Men may be asked to provide sperm samples for further testing. - After the 28 days of treatment, participants will stop taking the drug or placebo. They will have regular followup visits for up to 6 months after stopping treatment....
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether the hepatitis C virus continues to remain unable to be detected in subjects who were previously treated with Asunaprevir (BMS-650032) and/or Daclatasvir (BMS-790052) and achieved sustained virologic response.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of BMS-790052 (Daclatasvir) and Telaprevir when given in combination with Peginterferon alfa-2a and Ribavirin in genotype 1b patients
Immunoprophylaxis failure of hepatitis B virus (HBV) leading to vertical transmission remains a concern and has been reported in approximately 8-15% of infants born to hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive mothers with high levels of HBV DNA. Maternal HBV DNA > 6log10 copies/mL (or >200,000 IU/mL) is the major risk for the mother-to-child transmission. Prior observational studies have shown that antiviral therapy including lamivudine or telbivudine use during late pregnancy can safely reduce the rate of vertical transmission in this special population compared to untreated patients. Tenofovir Disoproxil (TDF), a pregnancy category B medication, reduces HBV DNA and normalizes serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in chronic hepatitis B patients (CHB) with few adverse effects. Two aspects on tenofovir use in pregnancy will be evaluated prospectively in this study: 1. The data on its tolerability and safety in HBeAg+ pregnant women with HBV DNA > 6log10 copies/mL (or > 200,000 IU/mL) during late pregnancy and infants. 2. Its efficacy in the reduction of HBV vertical transmission rate.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of TMC435 in combination with peginterferon (PegIFN) + ribavirin (RBV) by means of establishing its non- inferiority compared to an approved regimen of telaprevir + PegIFN + RBV in patients who have previously failed PegIFN.
This open-label, parallel cohort study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity of ritonavir-boosted danoprevir in combination with Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) and ribavirin in treatment-naïve patients, and with RO5024048 added to the combination treatment in prior null responder patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 or 4 and compensated cirrhosis. All patients will receive danoprevir 100 mg orally twice daily (bid) , ritonavir 100 mg orally bid, Pegasys 180 mcg subcutaneously weekly and ribavirin 1000-1200 mg/kg/day orally. Prior non-responders will receive RO5024048 1000 mg orally bid additionally. Anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of death and illness in people with HIV-1. At the time the study was designed, the standard treatment for people with HIV-1 and HCV coinfection included two drugs: pegylated-interferon alfa 2b (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of giving boceprevir (BOC) together with standard treatment in treating HCV infection in people with HIV-1 and HCV coinfection.
