Filter by:Naïve patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) of any genotype will be treated with a standard treatment regimen (pegylated interferon and ribavirin) according to routine clinical practice in Russia. The objective of this study is to examine the influence of insulin resistance on the safety and efficacy of treatment with pegylated interferon and ribavirin and to determine the prevalence of insulin resistance in different populations of CHC patients.
The objective of this study is to assess the impact of participant care and support on treatment adherence. PegIntron pen and Rebetol will be administered to participants with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in accordance with approved labeling. Sites will be categorized as providing high vs low level of participant management based on information about the level of participant support and management captured on the site questionnaire. Data on each participant will be collected by a physician on an electronic participant case report form (CRF) and by the participant via a questionnaire. Treatment completion rates will be analyzed based on the high vs low level of participant management. The hypothesis is that Physicians investing more time and effort into participant management achieve higher treatment completion rates among their hepatitis C patients than physicians offering less participant management measures.
The objective of this study is to evaluate patient satisfaction in hepatitis C patients receiving PegIntron pen plus Rebetol. The rationale is that the effectiveness of treatment is correlated with adherence to the prescribed regimen which, in turn, is affected by the ease of use and accuracy of treatment administration. Since the PegIntron pen is a novel device, the results of this study will be used to improve the training of patients and healthcare providers in PegIntron pen use.
Patients receiving a patient assistance program during therapy for Hepatitis C will be enrolled into this study. All patients will receive PegIntron pen and Rebetol according to label and the patient assistance program. This study will be compared to similar studies from other clinics using various patient support programs for the purpose of designing future comparative phase IV studies.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of 4 regimens of Vaniprevir + Peg-IFN and Ribavirin as compared to Placebo (PBO) + Peg-IFN/RBV. The primary hypotheses are that Vaniprevir is well tolerated, and that Vaniprevir 600 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) is superior to the control regimen for the percentage of non-cirrhotic (NC) participants achieving undetectable HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) 24 weeks after the end of study therapy (SVR24).
A study to evaluate how effective different levels of Vaniprevir (MK-7009), when administered with Pegylated-Interferon (Peg-IFN) and Ribavirin, are at achieving rapid viral response (RVR) i.e., undetectable hepatitis C virus [HCV] viral ribonucleic acid [RNA] at Week 4 in participants with chronic HCV infection. The primary hypothesis was that the proportion of participants in one or more of the Vaniprevir treatment groups achieving RVR would be greater than the proportion of placebo participants achieving RVR when Vaniprevir and placebo were co-administered with Peg-IFN/Ribavirin.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate what happens to hepatitis C virus in response to treatment with pegylated interferon and ribavirin in patients with HCV compared to those with HIV and HCV. This research is being done to help us identify how the composition of HCV changes with interferon in different populations. We will examine how quickly HCV is cleared from your body and what factors may influence that clearance. This information may help us find better treatments for HCV.
This study examines the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a single dose of MDX-1106 in patients with active hepatitis C genotype 1 or mixed hepatitis C genotype infection.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, efficacy and tolerability of using two regimens of telaprevir (with and without delayed start) with standard treatment compared to standard treatment alone in participants with chronic, genotype 1, hepatitis C.
This single arm study will investigate the predictive value of a week 4 virological response on sustained virological response in patients with chronic hepatitis C, genotype 2 or 3, treated with PEGASYS + Copegus. Eligible patients will be treated with PEGASYS 180 micrograms/week sc + Copegus 800mg/day po; those who have a virological response at week 4 will continue to be treated for 24 weeks, followed by a 24 week treatment-free follow-up. Non-responders at week 4 will be entered into a separate protocol (MV21371) to receive PEGASYS + Copegus for 24 or 48 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100 individuals.
