Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test whether the correction of insulin resistance with pioglitazone, will improve the response to antiviral treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine if rosiglitazone, a medicine used to treat diabetes, improves response to anti-viral treatment.
This single arm study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of ribavirin in combination with PEGASYS in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Patients will receive ribavirin 800mg, or 1000-1200mg po daily, according to HCV genotype and body weight (< and >75kg)in combination with PEGASYS 180micrograms sc weekly. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is >500 individuals.
The purpose of this study is to assess antiviral activity when administered alone for 3 days or in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin for 12 weeks. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of treatment with VCH-222 when given alone or in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin. The study will also evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of VCH-222 in HCV infected subjects.
The purpose of the study is to investigate if the duration of treatment of hepatitis C with pegylated interferon and ribavirin can be individualized on the basis of how fast the hepatitis C virus concentration in the blood decreases, and if this is more cost-efficient than standard treatment.
This is a single-arm, multicenter study of boceprevir (BOC) in combination with peginterferon plus ribavirin (PEG/RBV) in adult chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype 1 participants who completed their per-protocol defined treatment and did not achieve sustained viral response (SVR) while in the PEG/RBV control arm(s) of an Schering-Plough Research Institute (SPRI) study of BOC combination therapy. Participants who are able to enroll in this study within 2 weeks after the last dose of PEG/RBV in previous protocol are to receive BOC+ PEG/RBV for up to 44 weeks followed by 24 weeks post-treatment follow-up. Participants who are not able to enroll in this study within 2 weeks after the last dose of PEG/RBV in previous protocol are to receive PEG/RBV for 4 weeks followed by BOC+ PEG/RBV for up to 44 weeks, with 24 weeks post-treatment follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to investigate T-cell mediated immune responses to HIV-1 and HCV and determine how these responses are affected by HCV treatment and correlates to response. Furthermore, to study Interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) dynamics during HCV treatment, and correlate this to treatment outcome.
The main purpose of this clinical trial with BI 207127 is to see the effect of 4 week combination of BI 207127 with Peginterferon alfa (Peg-IFN) and Ribavirin (RBV) on hepatitis C virus (HCV) virus load and how safe BI 207127 is in this combination in HCV infected patients.
Worldwide, several studies report that 4.4% to 85.4% of thalassemia patients were positive for anti hepatitis C antibodies. Recently, three different studies reported the efficacy and the safety of combination therapy with pegylated interferon and ribavirin in thalassemic patients. This study is carried ahead to assess the impact of combination therapy with pegylated-interferon and ribavirin in a large cohort of italian patients with beta thalassemia major - transfused and not transfused, sickle cell disease and sickle/beta-thalassemia.
This is a non-randomized, open-label study examining the safety and efficacy of betaine in addition to standard anti-viral therapy in genotype 1 hepatitis C non-responders or relapsers to previous pegylated interferon plus ribavirin. Betaine (20 gm/day) in 2 divided doses will be added to Peginterferon alpha 2a (180 mcg) plus weight-based Ribavirin (1000 or 1200 mg/day, for body weight < or > 75 kg, respectively, for 48 weeks. Patients must be diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C, genotype I, and have undergone therapy for hepatitis C with pegylated interferon plus ribavirin. Subjects will be followed for safety, tolerability, hepatitis C viral response and the effect on interferon gene signaling in peripheral blood mononuclear cells during therapy.
