Filter by:The principal goal of this research project is to evaluate the natural history of HCV and liver disease and its treatment in HIV-infected persons who use drugs. Research procedures will focus on determining liver disease prevalence and severity within this population. This is an observational study without study specific interventions.
PPI-668 is an antiviral agent (a hepatitis C NS5A inhibitor) that is being developed as a potential treatment for hepatitis C virus infection. This study is being done to assess the safety and tolerance of PPI-668 when given to healthy volunteers for up to 5 days (Part I of the study) and to hepatitis C patients for up to 3 days (Part II). In addition, the study will assess how much PPI-668 is absorbed into the bloodstream. In Part II, the effect of PPI-668 on the amount of hepatitis C virus in patients' bloodstream (serum HCV RNA levels) also will be assessed.
The purpose of this study is to compare the sustained virologic response at post treatment Week 12 for each cohort (BMS-790052/Pegylated-interferon alfa 2a (pegIFNα-2a)/Ribavirin (RBV) versus placebo/PegIFNα-2a/RBV).
The purpose of this study is to compare the results for HIV and/or Hepatitis C Virus antibody testing when using routine plasma versus SMARTplasma from the same blood sample. SMARTplasma is enriched for antibodies via a stimulation step of whole blood in a SMARTube™ (SMARTstim™ in the USA).
This prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of peginterferon alfa (e.g. Pegasys) plus ribavirin and treatment regimens containing direct-acting antivirals in patients with chronic hepatitis C who are treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced and HIV HCV co-infected. Data will be collected from patients receiving treatment according to current Summary of Product Characteristics and local labeling for the duration of their treatment and a 24-week follow-up.
This multi-center, open-label study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) and Copegus (ribavirin) in relation to IL28-b gene expression in treatment-naïve patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. Patients will receive Pegasys (180 mcg sc weekly) and Copegus ( 1'000 or 1'200 mg orally daily) for 48 weeks. Anticipated time of study treatment is 48 weeks, follow-up is 24 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to determine if 48 weeks of therapy with Pegylated Interferon Lambda plus Ribavirin is effective and safe for a treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) compared to therapy with Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2a plus Ribavirin.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of alisporivir plus pegylated interferon alfa2a and Ribavirin as well as boceprevir plus pegylated interferon alfa2a and Ribavirin in African American chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 patients that have never received treatment for their hepatitis C.
This study is to determine the safety and Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of INH-08189 dosed once a day (QD), two times a day (BID) or adjunctively with Ribavirin and a study of the food effect in Chronically-infected Genotype 1 Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Treatment-naïve subjects.
Drug users account for a disproportionately large burden of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. However, HCV treatment adherence rates in drug users may be suboptimal in patients who use drugs regularly during HCV treatment. Because HCV treatment is most effective when patients adhere to at least 80% of the prescribed treatment regimen, interventions to improve HCV treatment adherence need to be developed and evaluated. The investigators designed the HCV DOT trial to test the efficacy of two versions of modified directly observed HCV therapy provided on-site at a methadone clinic. The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether enhanced DOT with both pegylated interferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin (PEG/RBV-DOT) is more efficacious than standard DOT with weekly provider-administered pegylated interferon (PEG-DOT) and self-administered ribavirin for increasing adherence and improving HCV treatment outcomes. The investigators hypothesize that PEG/RBV-DOT is associated with increased adherence and rates of sustained viral response compared with PEG-DOT.
