View clinical trials related to Hepatitis C, Chronic.
Filter by:Chronic hepatitis C infection (HCV) is a disease that affects worldwide about 170 million people. The previous standard of care therapy of chronic HCV patients consists of pegylated-IFN-α combined with ribavirin, and results in sustained clearance of HCV-RNA in only about 50% of the HCV genotype 1 infected patients. Telaprevir, a NS3A-4A inhibitor, has previously proven to offer therapeutic options to previous non-responders to the standard of care. Although, not all chronic HCV patients benefit from telaprevir and it is still not known why certain patients are also non-responsive to this triple therapy. In this study we try to understand why certain patients are also non-responsive to telaprevir, how triple therapy modulates the responsiveness to IFN-α and what the immunological consequences are of treatment with telaprevir, either directly or as a result of telaprevir-induced reduction of HCV-RNA levels.
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of SB-497115-GR to raise platelet counts in thrombocytopenic patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (platelet count <80,000 /μL, suggestive of compensated cirrhosis) to a level desirable to initiate antiviral therapy and to assess the ability of SB-497115-GR to maintain platelet counts at a level sufficient to minimise dose reductions of pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) therapy with the expectation that a lower rate of Peg-IFN dose reduction and omission will translate to a higher rate of sustained viral response.
•The purpose of this study is to compare the performance between liver biopsy and non-invasive fibrosis assessments evaluating anti-fibrotic efficacy of peginterferon plus ribavirin in patients with hepatitis C pre- and post-treatment
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of daclatasvir and simeprevir with and without ribavirin for genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C virus infection in patients who are treatment-naive or null responders to previous pegylated interferon/ribavirin therapy.
This randomized, open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the safety , efficacy and tolerability of the combination treatment RO5466731, RO5190591, ritonavir and Copegus (ribavirin) with or without RO5024048 in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. In Part 1, treatment-naïve patients will be randomized to receive treatment with RO5466731, RO5190591 plus ritonavir, and Copegus, with or without RO5024048. In Part 2, further treatment-naïve patients will receive a successful regimen from Part 1, or a reduced intensity regimen, and patients who have previously experienced null response to interferon-based treatment will be added to the study.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir (SOF; GS-7977) in combination with ribavirin (RBV) with or without pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN) in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who participated in a prior Gilead HCV study and have not achieved sustained virologic response (SVR).
A study to evaluate the safety and effect of treatment with experimental antiviral drugs in combination with peginterferon alpha-2a and ribavirin in people with hepatitis C virus who did not respond to treatment in a previous AbbVie/Abbott combination study.
This prospective observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of peginterferon alfa-2a in combination with ribavirin in participants with chronic hepatitis C, including participants with compensated liver cirrhosis, in clinical practice.
This study was to assess the safety and efficacy of sofosbuvir in combination with ribavirin (RBV) administered for 12 or 16 weeks in participants with genotypes 2 or 3 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection as assessed by the proportion of participants with sustained virologic response (SVR) 12 weeks after discontinuation of therapy (SVR12).
This multi-center, observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of dual and triple therapies based on Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Patients receiving treatment with either Pegasys plus ribavirin or Pegasys plus ribavirin plus telaprevir/boceprevir will be observed for the duration of their treatment and for up to 24 weeks of follow-up.
