Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate how efficient TMC435350 will work against the Hepatitis C virus genotype 1 (genotypes refer to the genetic constitution of the virus) and what the concentrations of TMC435350 in the blood are with or without pegylated interferon alpha-2a (PegIFNa-2a) or PegIFNa-2a plus ribavirin.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of telaprevir on early hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) C virus (HCV) viral kinetics in treatment-naive participants who are chronically (lasting a long time) infected with genotype 2 or 3 HCV.
This single arm study will assess the safety of NeoRecormon in the correction of anemia in patients with chronic hepatitis C who are being treated with Pegylated interferon + ribavirin combination therapy. Patients will receive NeoRecormon at a starting dose of 30,000 IU s.c. which will be adjusted as required to maintain a target Hb of 11-13g/dL. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1 year, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile and tolerability of single oral doses of BMS-650032 in subjects with chronic hepatitis C infection
The study will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of single doses of VBY-376 in healthy subjects.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of TCM-700C as an add-on treatment to the combination drug therapy (Peginterferon α-2b plus Ribavirin) for patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C infections. This will be demonstrated by a higher sustained virologic response rate, defined as the absence of detectable HCV RNA 24 weeks after the termination of combinational drug treatment, compared with the placebo add-on.
Hypothesis: A regimen of low dose of peginterferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin may be as effective as currently recommended regimen for chronic hepatitis C in HIV-coinfected patients. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of lower dose of pegylated interferon-α 2a (135 µg weekly) plus ribavirin and a shorter duration of treatment (20 weeks after achieving an undetectable plasmatic HCV-RNA)than the current recommended in patients with chronic hepatitis or compensated cirrhosis by hepatitis C virus, genotypes 2 or 3, in HIV-coinfected patients in real use conditions. Method: Phase IV, postautorization, open labelled multicenter trial with a planned duration of 118 weeks in which 71 patients from several hospitals of the Servicio Andaluz de Salud will be enrolled. The usual clinical and analytical follow up will be performed but additional blood samples will be obtained for determination of interferon and ribavirin plasma levels. The primary end point wall be a sustained virologic response (defined as an undetectable serum HCV-RNA after 24 weeks after the cessation of treatment). Likewise, rapid virological response (at 4 weeks of treatment), early virological response (at 12 weeks), and end of treatment response rates will be evaluated as well as their relationships with the plasma interferon an ribavirin concentrations determined by ELISA and HPLC, respectively. The safety and tolerability of the studied medications will be evaluated by means of clinical adverse events, physical examination and laboratory results.
Hepatitis C virus infection is the most common blood-borne infection in the United States and is a leading cause of chronic liver disease affecting 130 million people around the world. It is estimated that 1.6% of the US population may be affected by Hepatitis C infection. The only recommended treatment that has been approved for your condition is the use of interferon and ribavirin. In patients with chronic Hepatitis C, there tends to be an accumulation of fat in the liver. Fatty liver has been associated with failure of treatment. The accumulation of fat in the liver has been blamed on a particular type of fat called triglycerides. Fish oil, by reducing a type of fat called VLDL, can lower the triglyceride concentration by as much as 50 percent or more. This study seeks to determine if the administration of fish oil along with standard treatment to patients with Hepatitis C will increase the treatment response rates.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile and tolerability of single oral doses of daclatasvir in subjects with chronic hepatitis C infection
To evaluate the effect of treatment of insulin resistance in the response of chronic hepatitis C treatment, mesure as HCV-RNA negative at week 72. 4.3.2 Objetivos secundarios To evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with metformine to erradicate the insulin resistance of patients with chornic hepatitis C genotype 1 measure as HOMA-IR < 2.
