Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and antiviral activity of ABT-450/ritonavir/ABT- 267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267; ABT-450 also known as paritaprevir; ABT-267 also known as ombitasvir) and ABT-333 (also known as dasabuvir) with and without ribavirin (RBV) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1a (HCV GT1a) infection without cirrhosis.
This study aims to demonstrate that patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and B (CHB) experiencing regression of liver cirrhosis after effective antiviral therapy have decreased risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Primary aim is to determine the incidence of HCC in patients with cirrhosis secondary to CHC and CHB, after treatment is provided, and to identify the magnitude of the decreased risk for HCC in patients experiencing regression of fibrosis. As a secondary aim, environmental risk factors for HCC development will be sought, in order to determine a subset of patients in whom it will be safe to stop surveillance.
To assess the pharmacokenetic characteristics of 600 mg BID BI 207127 / 120 mg QD faldaprevir /ribavirin in a small number of GT1b HCV infected patients with mild hepatic impairment (CPA) (Arm 1) versus 400 mg BID BI 207127 / 120 mg QD faldaprevir /ribavirin in a small number of GT1b HCV infected patients with moderate hepatic impairment (CPB) (Arm 2).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, tolerability of combination therapy with sofosbuvir (SOF) containing regimens for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
This study will provide chronic hepatitis C patients with low platelets (less than 75x10^9/L) the opportunity to undergo treatment and possible cure of their virus. The main hepatitis C drugs will be administered as standard of care, with the addition of the study drug eltrombopag. The investigators hypothesize that providing eltrombopag to chronic hepatitis C patients with low platelets (less than 75x10^9/L) will permit the initiation and completion of antiviral triple therapy with boceprevir, ribavirin, and pegylated-interferon.
Hypothesis: the Telaprevir(TVR) plasma levels (750 mg q8h or 1125 mg/12h )will not be affected when co-administered with un-boosted Atazanavir (ATV) 200 mg q12h plus two analogues (NRTIs) in HCV/HIV-co-infected patients.
This is a Phase 1 Open-Label, Parallel-Group, Single-Dose Study to evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of GS-5816 in subjects with normal hepatic function and moderate or severe hepatic impairment.
This study is designed to evaluate the potential for an effect of Ritonavir (Norvir®) or omeprazole (Prilosec®) on the pharmacokinetics of samatasvir and to assess the safety and tolerability of the study drugs when administered alone and in combination in healthy participants.
The purpose of this 3-part study is to evaluate the potential impact of simeprevir and food on pharmacokinetics (PK) of IDX719 in healthy participants. Part 1 will evaluate potential PK interactions between IDX719 and simeprevir. Part 2 will evaluate the effect of food on the PK of IDX719 in combination with simeprevir. Part 3 will evaluate the impact of high- versus low-fat meals on the PK of IDX719.
Although infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) can result in acute hepatitis; it more commonly progresses to chronic hepatitis. The acute process is most often asymptomatic. Acute HCV typically leads to chronic infection. Chronic HCV infection is usually slowly progressive. Approximately 5 to 20 percent of chronically infected individuals develop cirrhosis over a 20-30 year period of time. Chronic HCV is the most common cause of chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and the most frequent indication for liver transplantation in the United States. Screening for chronic HCV infection is crucial because chronic HCV infection is often asymptomatic, effective treatment is available, and untreated disease carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Expert opinion, recommendations, and guidelines for HCV screening do not all agree. All guidelines recommend screening patients at increased risk for HCV (ie: typical risk factors). In 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended screening all persons born between 1945 and 1965. At least two studies suggest that screening persons born between 1945 and 1964 or 1946 to 1970, respectively, is cost-effective. The studies estimated that if patients found to be HCV positive were treated with pegylated interferon, ribavirin, and direct acting antiviral therapy (for patients with HCV genotype 1), it would cost $35,700 to 37,700 per quality adjusted life-year. Screening based upon a birth cohort in patients without risk factors may lead to more false positive results. Currently only 1 % of patients in the birth cohort of 1945-1965 who cared for by Intermountain Healthcare providers have been screened. Ambulatory care physicians are not effectively screening patients. It is unclear whether screening based on risk factors alone versus screening based upon risk factors and birth cohort most effectively manages the burden of chronic HCV infection for patients managed by Intermountain Healthcare providers. It is possible that the Intermountain Healthcare population differs in risk from the U.S. population,making guideline application less certain. A well-designed prospective cohort study is needed to understand the risks and benefits of different HCV screening strategies on diagnostic yield and clinical outcomes. The investigators hypothesize that screening based on a person's history of risk factors will detect chronic HCV infection in 2.7 % of the population tested; this would be according to national average. The investigators further hypothesize that screening based on birth cohort and risk factors will identify roughly the same percentage in the tested population. The investigators anticipate usable data within three months which should give us data to describe and publish the effectiveness of different screening strategies. The investigators will identify patients with chronic HCV infection through this initial study who now require treatment and management. The investigators believe this group could be followed inexpensively for clinical endpoints for many years. This would then definitively define the effectiveness of screening strategies based on good evidence. No study has evaluated clinical outcomes associated with the different screening strategies for chronic hepatitis c virus infection.
