Filter by:This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of setrobuvir in patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C. Treatment-naïve patients will be randomized to receive either setrobuvir (800 mg orally b.i.d loading dose followed by 200 mg orally .b.i.d.) or placebo in combination with standard of care Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) and Copegus (ribavirin). Treatment duration will be 28 weeks or 48 weeks depending on response. Treatment-experienced patients categorized as relapsers, partial responders and viral breakthrough patients to previous pegylated interferon and ribavirin therapy will be randomized to receive either setrobuvir or placebo in combination with Pegasys and Copegus for 48 weeks. Treatment-experienced patients categorized as null-responders to previous pegylated interferon and ribavirin therapy will be assigned to treatment with setrobuvir plus Pegasys and Copegus for 48 weeks.
This study is to confirm the potential effects and assess the safety of a new bio-product Pegylated Recombinant Consensus Interferon Variant Solution for Injection (PEG-IFN-SA) and Ribavirin（RBV） in the treatment of Chronic hepatitis C who have not been previously treated with Interferon.
Primary objective: Evaluate the prevalence of personality disorders in patients starting treatment for hepatitis C in the prison and determine their influence on the evolution of the disease.
Primary Objective: To compare the impact of switching from efavirenz (EFV) plus two nucleoside analogs to rategravir (RAL) plus two nucleoside analogs versus keeping the same antiretroviral regimen on hepatic steatosis (HS) as measured by the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) among HIV/HCV-coinfected patient. Secondary Trial Objective: 1. To compare the proportion of HIV/HCV-coinfected patients with one category decrease in the grade of HS between patients continuing with EFV plus two nucleoside analogs and those switching from EFV plus two nucleoside analogs to RAL plus two nucleoside analogs. 2. To evaluate the proportion of patients who maintain viral control (HIV RNA < 50 copies/mL) after switching. Design: Open-label, randomized clinical trial to evaluate safety (phase IV) Condition: HIV and HCV coinfection. Intervention: Patients on current EFV plus two nucleoside analogs will be randomly assigned to switch EFV to RAL (400mg BID), maintaining nucleoside analogs unchanged, or to continue the current regimen.
The study is a first in man, dose escalation study that will measure the safety and efficacy of TT-034 in the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C. The study is divided into 5 dose levels. Subjects will be given a single dose delivered by IV infusion. The subjects will be monitored and the data analyzed. After a set time, between 6 and 10 weeks depending on the dose level, the next set of subjects will be dosed. The study drug is a gene therapy treatment that produces molecules that destroy the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in infected cells. Once the study drug is given, it cannot be withdrawn. Additionally, once an individual receives a dose, he or she will not be able to receive a second dose, but will remain eligible to receive most other HCV treatments.
A single Center, Prospective Phase IV, Open-Label, Controlled, Randomized Trial comparing the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Quadritherapy regimen (Reiferon Retard® , Ribavirin , Nitazoxanide and Alfacalcidol (Bon-One ® ) versus Triple therapy regimen (Reiferon Retard® , Ribavirin and Nitazoxanide) versus the standard of care regimen(Reiferon Retard® and Ribavirin) in the treatment of Naïve chronic hepatitis C among the Egyptian population. Effectiveness will be evaluated based on Sustained Virological Response (SVR) . PRIMARY OBJECTIVE(S): The primary objectives of this trial are as follows: - To compare the efficacy of the three treatment arms in naïve Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) genotype 4 patients by evaluating the sustained virological response ( SVR) at week 60 ( 3 months after end of treatment period) - Identify optimum treatment protocol for HCV genotype 4 in respect to used combination of medications - Whether adding vitamin D, a potent immunomodulator, could improve viral response. STUDY DESIGN: This is a phase IV, single center, open labeled, randomized (1:1:1) controlled study. NUMBER OF EVALUABLE SUBJECTS: 300 NUMBER OF CENTER/S: 1 Country:Egypt DURATION OF THE STUDY: 94 weeks TREATMENT: randomized 1:1:1 ratio into 3 Arms SUBJECT POPULATION: male or female subjects assessed by BMI less than 35, between the ages of 20 and 50 years. Subjects have to be diagnosed as Naïve Chronic Hepatitis C genotype 4 patients with compensated liver disease assessed by hematological and biochemical tests. - DURATION OF THE STUDY: 94 weeks as follows: Estimated Enrollment Duration: 16 weeks Collection of last Case Report Form (CRF) : 2 weeks from Last patient out. Queries Resolution: 4 weeks from Collection of last CRF. Database lock planned date: 2 weeks from Quires resolution. Final Study Report: 8 weeks from Database lock. Estimated duration of subject participation: 62 weeks as follows; - Screening period per subject = 2 weeks - Treatment phase per subject = 48 weeks - Follow-up phase per subject = 12 weeks N.B : Each patient will receive medications for Maximum 48 weeks if his/her Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) -ve at weeks 12 and 24 , and if his/her PCR +ve at week 12 or week 24 the treatment will be stopped .
This study will evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir plus ribavirin administered for 16 weeks and 24 weeks in participants with chronic genotype 1 (GT1) or genotype 3 (GT3) hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
This study is for people who have been diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C, specifically those who have a certain type of the virus, genotype 1, and who have not yet received treatment for hepatitis C. This pilot study is designed to test whether the addition of vitamin D, to the three drugs (Incivek (telaprevir), Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a), and ribavirin) that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of hepatitis C, can help eliminate the HCV from the body. Currently, doctors are unsure if the addition of vitamin D to prescribed hepatitis C therapy will have any effects on how the body clears the virus. Once enrolled, participants will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to receive telaprevir + peginterferon alfa-2a + ribavirin + vitamin D3 (treatment group) or telaprevir + peginterferon alfa-2a + ribavirin (control group). A total of 80 participants, of all races/ethnicities, will be included in this study, at 5 to 10 VA hospital study sites (10 - 20 participants/site). Participants assigned to the treatment group will begin a lead-in phase where they will receive 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day. Every two weeks during the lead-in phase, participants will be tested to determine the Vitamin D level in their blood, as well as other tests, including HCV RNA (to determine the amount of virus present) and calcium levels. Once an adequate level of Vitamin D is detected in participants' blood, participants will begin treatment with telaprevir + peginterferon alfa-2a + ribavirin + vitamin D3 (15,000 IU/week) for 12 weeks. Participants randomized to the control group will immediately begin treatment with telaprevir + peginterferon alfa-2a + ribavirin for 12 weeks. At the end of Week 12 the participants' involvement in the study will be complete. Adverse events and effects of vitamin D3 will be obtained by assessing participants' medical history, physical examination, and blood tests at clinic visits. HCV RNA will be assessed at Screening, Day 1, Week 2, 4, 8 and 12.
This is a randomized, double blind, multi-center, placebo controlled, three parallel arms, Phase IIb/III clinical study to evaluate the effects of adding a TCM-700C with a low or high dose onto the combination treatment (PegIFN plus RBV) for subjects with naive genotype 1 HCV infection. 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 combination treatment, compared with the placebo add-on.
Interferon-alpha (IFN-α) is an efficacious treatment for Hepatitis C (HPC); however, IFN-α treatment results in a significant increase in depressive symptoms. The aim of this project is to compare two health interventions (exercise vs. health education) to prevent depression in HPC patients receiving IFN-α. Participants will be recruited from the Clinical Center for Liver Diseases at UT-Southwestern and randomized to 26 weeks of either: aerobic exercise or a health education control group.
