Filter by:This is an uncontrolled, non-randomized, open-label, multinational study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PegIntron plus Rebetol in subjects with chronic hepatitis C. The study is designed to determine the proportion of chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 subjects who did not respond to previous treatment with Pegasys 180µg QW plus ribavirin, that will achieve sustained virological response (SVR) when treated with PegIntron plus Rebetol.
This is a dose finding and efficacy trial for fluvastatin versus hepatitis C.
This study represents the first administration of GSK625433 in humans. The study is designed to evaluate initial safety and tolerability in healthy adults as well as anti-viral activity in Hepatitis C(HVC) infected adults. The way the human body processes GSK625433 will also be investigated.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the combination of Lpv/r monotherapy and anti-HCV drugs does not match with additional toxicity induced by the association of HAART and Peg-IFN + ritonavir in HIV/HCV coinfected patients. Secondary objective is to assess if Lpv/r monotherapy during HCV-treatment is associated with HIV efficacy versus optimized HAART.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the combination of Lpv/r monotherapy and anti-HCV drugs does not match with additional toxicity induced by the association of HAART and Peg-IFN + ritonavir in patients naive for HIV and HCV. Secondary objective is to assess if Lpv/r monotherapy during HCV-treatment is associated with HIV efficacy vs optimized HAART.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of autoantibody production during chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. 10-50% of individuals with HCV have symptoms of mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC). By studying the B cells from HCV-infected individuals with and without MC, as well as from healthy controls, we hope to gain insight into the mechanisms of autoantibody production and develop new strategies for treatment of MC.
A Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, parallel design trial of two doses of mitoquinone mesylate (MitoQ) and of placebo in patients with chronic Hepatitis C. MitoQ is a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant that rapidly permeates the lipid bilayer and accumulates within mitochondria in organs such as liver, brain, heart, skeletal muscle. There is strong evidence for increased oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage leading to apoptosis via caspase activation. Several studies have shown that MitoQ protects cells from apoptosis by acting as a caspase inhibitor and may be effective in reducing cell damage in liver disease. It is hypothesised that administration of MitoQ will lower raised ALT seen in patients with chronic Hepatitis C compared with placebo. Approximately 36 patients who have been unresponsive or not suitable for interferon-based therapy will be enrolled at one centre. Treatment duration will be 28 days with 28 days post-treatment follow-up.
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of an insulin-sensitizer (Actos) added to a standard Pegasys/Copegus combination therapy of chronic hepatitis C in patients who have previously failed a pegylated-interferon-alpha / ribavirin combination without the insulin sensitizer. The primary endpoint is the initial virological response (level of HCV RNA in serum) as evaluated after 12 weeks of triple therapy.
This is a Phase IIIB randomized, controlled, multi-centre, open-label study of 24 versus 48 weeks therapy with Pegetron® (peginterferon alfa-2b + ribavirin) at standard doses in naïve Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) genotype 1 high viral load (HVL) participants who are Hepatitis C Virus-Ribonucleic Acid (HCV-RNA) negative at Week 4. HVL will be defined as HCV-RNA of >600,000 IU/mL prior to the initiation of therapy. Participants with genotype 1 baseline HVL prescribed Pegetron® (peginterferon and ribavirin) in the usual manner in accordance with the marketing authorization and who are viral negative at Week 4 will be randomized at Week 8 to receive a total of 24 or 48 weeks of therapy. Participants will be required to have their baseline and Week-12 viral load analyzed by the same local laboratory using the standard of care test used by the site. Qualitative testing at Week 4, 8, 16-20, 24, and 48 may be conducted either by local laboratory or a central laboratory identified by the sponsor using an assay specified by the sponsor. No additional interventions outside of the clinic's standard of care and the conditions of the Canadian product monograph for Pegetron® will be applied to participants.
This was an open-label, randomized safety and efficacy trial in adult, treatment-naïve Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC) participants with genotype 1 infection. The study conducted in 2 parts, compared standard-of-care PegIntron (1.5 μg/kg, once weekly [QW]), plus ribavirin (800 to 1400 mg/day), for 48 weeks to five treatment paradigms containing boceprevir (SCH 503034) 800 mg thrice a day (TID). The five treatments included boceprevir (BOC) plus standard-of-care for 28 or 48 weeks, with and without a 4-week lead-in with PegIntron (PEG) and ribavirin (RBV), and exploration of PegIntron plus low-dose ribavirin (400 to 1000 mg/day) plus boceprevir for 48 weeks.
