Filter by:This 2 arm open-label study will assess the safety and tolerability of combination treatment with Peginterferon alfa (Pegasys) and Ribavirin (Copegus) in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Patients will be assigned to receive Peginterferon alfa (Pegasys) 180 mcg sc once a week and Ribavirin (Copegus) 800 - 1200 mg po daily for either 24 or 48 weeks. Allocation to the treatment arms is to the discretion of the investigator (mainly according to genotype). Adverse events will be monitored throughout the study and hematologic parameters every 2 weeks and twice during the 24-week follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of increasing oral doses of TMC435350 after single and repeated dosing, followed by an open label repeated dosing session in 6 HCV genotype1 infected patients.
This study will assess the rates of Sustained Virological Response following anti-viral therapy with Peg-Interferon plus Ribavirin in patients that have been liver transplanted with recurrent Hepatitis C and treated with Neoral or tacrolimus.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of steady-state telaprevir (TVR) 750 mg q8h (3 times a day, every 8 hours) on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of escitalopram 10 mg q.d. (once a day), and vice versa. Steady state is a term which means that the drug has been given long enough so that the plasma concentrations will remain the same with each subsequent dose. TVR is being investigated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Pharmacokinetics (pk) means how the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream, distributed in the body and eliminated from the body.
The aim of the study will be to determine if an insulin sensitizing thiazolidinedione plus a lipid lowering agent (statin) improves sustained virologic response rates in patients who have previously not responded or relapsed on standard pegylated interferon and ribavirin therapy.
In this study, researchers from UCLA and Friends Community Center will work together in designing a program to assist young homeless stimulant-using gay and bisexual homeless men to complete the hepatitis vaccine and in reducing drug and sexual activity. Using nurse case management strategies, found successful with homeless adults as well as contingency management strategies, found successful with gay and bisexual homeless adults by the community partners, the investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of a program that combines both strategies. As stimulant use threatens to increase homeless persons' risk of exposure to hepatitis A and B viruses, particularly among young users who may not yet be HBV-infected, this research is targeted to engage this group in treatment, until they are suitably protected from HBV, and hopefully reduce risk for HCV and HIV as well.
The purpose of this study is to determine if administering Mogroside Sweetener "PureLo" (the study substance) for 14 days will lower the hepatitis C viral load and liver function alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels.
The purpose of this study is to determine if rosiglitazone, a medicine used to treat diabetes, improves response to anti-viral treatment.
The study is intended to determine whether CTS-1027 either alone or in combination with ribavirin is safe and effective in Hepatitis C patients who have not previously been treated with interferon.
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.
