Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and HCV(Hepatitis C virus) RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) kinetics after administration of MP-424 to patients with chronic hepatitis C.
Researchers want to see whether Sho-saiko-to (SST) can help in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Chronic hepatitis C may cause swelling within the liver and this can lead to scar tissue. In some patients, severe scarring of the liver, liver failure and liver cancer can occur. Standard treatment for chronic hepatitis C is a drug called interferon with or without another drug called ribavirin. There are a number of side effects that some patients are unable to take. Other patients may have an initial response, but then the virus and the inflammation come back. Sho-saiko-to is an herbal medicine that has been used for many years in Asia to treat liver disease. The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether Sho-saiko-to may improve liver swelling and injury caused by chronic hepatitis C.
This study will assess the efficacy of everolimus as an inhibitor of fibrosis progression in liver transplant patients who have a recurrence of hepatitis C viral infection in the transplant
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity and safety of telaprevir on Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotype 4, alone or in combination with standard therapy, that is, pegylated-interferon-alfa-2a and ribavirin in treatment-naive (never been treated before with antiretroviral therapy) participants.
Patients with chronic hepatitis C with persistently normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels have been generally excluded from treatment, because the strong conviction that normal ALT would be synonymous of absence of liver damage. However, recent studies have demonstrated marked liver fibrosis, including cirrhosis, in patients with HCV and persistently normal ALT levels. Up to now, just a sigle randomized, controlled, multicenter study was lead to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C and persistently normal serum ALT levels. Aim of our study is evaluate the efficacy of treatment and the outcome of treated patients compared with a control group of untreated patients.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of the drugs Pegasys and Copegus when used for hepatitis C genotypes 6, 7, 8, and 9. Patients are randomly assigned (by chance) to either Treatment Group A (Pegasys and Copegus for 24 weeks) or Treatment Group B (Pegasys and Copegus for 48 weeks).
The primary purpose of the study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of standard treatment for chronic hepatitis C using peginterferon alpha-2a (Pegasys) and ribavirin (Copegus) to those same medications plus a dietary supplement called betaine when added for the first 12 weeks of treatment. Peginterferon alpha-2a (Pegasys) and ribavirin (Copegus) are approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. Betaine is a dietary supplement and occurs naturally in the body. It is not a medication regulated by the FDA or an approved drug for chronic hepatitis C.
The purpose of this study is to determine if CTS-1027 can lower elevated liver enzymes in patients with chronic HCV infection.
Interleukin 29 (IL-29) is a substance that is produced in the body to help fight viral infections. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and antiviral effects of PEG-rIL-29 (a man-made form of IL-29) when it is given either by itself at different doses or in combination with the approved dose of ribavirin (an antiviral drug) to subjects with hepatitis C infection who have received no prior treatment for this disease or who have relapsed following previous treatment with PEGylated interferon alpha (PEG-IFN-α), or other form of IFN-α, and ribavirin.
The aim of the study was to verify the influence of Agaricus blazei (Murrill) ss. Heinemann (A. blazei) on the evolution of nutritional state and liver function in hepatitis C patients.
