Filter by:To determine the efficacy and safety of Peginterferón alfa-2a (40 KD) plus Ribavirin in patients who have relapsed or not responded to a previous suboptimal therapy based in Interferon.
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of eltrombopag to maintain a platelet count sufficient to facilitate initiation of antiviral therapy, to minimise antiviral therapy dose reductions and to avoid permanent discontinuation of antiviral therapy. The clinical benefit of eltrombopag will be measured by the proportion of subjects who are able to achieve a Sustained Virological Response (SVR).
The primary objective is to determine the safety of sub-cutaneous (SC) injections of TG4040 in non-cirrhotic, treatment-naïve patients chronically infected with HCV (genotype 1). Patients will be sequentially treated at an escalting dose of TG4040. All patients will be followed up to at least 6 months after his/her first injection. In addition, all patients treated at the highest dose will receive a TG4040 boost injection 6 months after the first injection, and will be followed up during an additional 6-month period.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (the study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time), and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships of telaprevir administered in two different doses in combination with two standard therapies commercially available for chronic (lasting a long time) genotype 1 Hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) C virus (HCV) infection.
The purpose of this study is to study whether hepatitis C virus (HCV)infected maintenance hemodialysis (MHD)patients have distinct metabolic, inflammatory and adipokine characteristics that can be linked to poor clinical outcome and to examine the hypothesis that HCV infected MHD patients with metabolic syndrome have higher risks for hospitalization, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.
Pegylation of interferon prolongs the medication half-life which has resulted in Pegylated Interferon (PEG-IFN) as the new modality for treatment of chronic hepatitis C. We current this clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of domestic PEG-IFN alpha-2a (Pegaferon®) in the patients with chronic hepatitis C.
The purposes of this study are: - to determine the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of A-831 at various doses - to determine how multiple doses of A-831 are distributed through the bloodstream - to determine if A-831 reduces the amount of Hepatitis C virus in the blood
Omega DUROS® is an implantable drug delivery system designed to deliver omega interferon subcutaneously at a constant rate for 90 days. This study is being performed to evaluate the safety and antiviral effects of omega interferon delivered by the Omega DUROS® device in combination with ribavirin in subjects with chronic Hepatitis C genotype 1.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of MK7009 in patients infected with Hepatitis C
This 7 arm study will determine the optimal treatment combination, based on efficacy and safety. Patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), genotype 1, will be randomized to one of 7 treatment groups. Groups 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 will receive triple combination treatment with HCV polymerase inhibitor pro-drug (at doses of 500, 1000 or 1500mg po bid) plus PEGASYS (90 or 180 micrograms sc weekly) plus Copegus (1000 or 1200mg po qd) for 24 weeks, followed by 24 weeks of open label Standard of Care (PEGASYS 180 micrograms sc weekly plus Copegus 1000/1200mg po qd). Group 3 will receive HCV polymerase inhibitor pro-drug 500mg po bid plus PEGASYS 180 micrograms sc weekly plus Copegus 1000/1200mg po qd for 24 weeks; after 24 weeks, those achieving a rapid virological response (RVR) will stop all medication, and non-RVR patients will remain on triple combination for an additional 24 weeks. Group 7 will receive standard of care (SOC) for 48 weeks. There will be a 24 week period of treatment-free follow-up for all treatment groups. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
