Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of irbesartan on the progression of liver fibrosis in adult patients with chronic hepatitis C. The expected total enrollment is 200 patients. Patients who meet the study criteria and accept to participate at this study will take by day one tablet of 150 mg of treatment (irbesartan or placebo) during two years. The assessment of efficacy will be make by evaluation of area of liver fibrosis and blood markers of liver fibrosis
This is a controlled, randomized, parallel-groups, open-label, multinational study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PEG-Intron® (pegylated interferon alfa-2b) plus Rebetol® (ribavirin) in subjects with chronic hepatitis C. It is designed to evaluate whether 72 weeks of treatment with PEG-Intron plus Rebetol is more effective than 48 weeks of treatment in subjects with Genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C who exhibit a slow response to treatment.
To assess the safety of the combination of VX-950, Pegasys and Copegus in subjects with hepatitis C.
The purpose is to demonstrate a correction of anemia in hepatitis C virus treatment with peginterferon plus ribavirin.
Following a transplant for hepatitis C cirrhosis, the infection comes back in 70-90% of cases and over time causes fibrosis and eventually cirrhosis of the new liver. The aim of this study was to see if the frequency of liver fibrosis was different with cyclosporine microemulsion than tacrolimus
The study will be a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, dose rising study in Interferon alpha (IFN-alpha) non-responder HCV infected patients or HCV patients who have relapsed following IFN-alpha therapy. Eligible subjects must have compensated liver disease and serum HCV RNA concentrations above 100,000 IU/mL at screening. The study will include both a single dose period for the evaluation of acute toxicity and single dose pharmacokinetics and a consecutive multi-dose period for the determination of longer-term safety, multiple-dose pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of escalating single and multiple doses of XTL 2125 in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection and to assess the single- and multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of XTL 2125
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects approximately 170 million people worldwide. The current standard- of- care therapy of chronic HCV infection is a regimen of subcutaneously administered (pegylated)-interferon-α and ribavirin for 24 weeks (for genotypes 2 and 3) to 48 weeks (for genotype 1). The sustained viral response rates (SVR) in patients infected with genotypes 2 and 3 are ~80% but remain <50% in patients infected with genotype 1. The treatment is quite toxic with approximately 30% of patients experiencing adverse events (i.e. depression, fever, anemia, fatigue) requiring dose reduction or discontinuation of therapy. This regimen is contraindicated in women who are pregnant and in patients with decompensated liver disease. The absence of acceptable therapies for many patients with HCV infections makes new therapies desirable for this disease.
This is an Australian, open-label, multicenter, randomized, double-blind clinical trial designed to assess the efficacy of combination therapy with pegylated interferon alfa-2b and ribavirin for 48 weeks versus 24 weeks in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (treatment-naïve genotype 3 subjects with high viral loads who have a METAVIR score of at least F1A2). The primary endpoint will be a sustained virological response defined by undetectable HCV RNA in serum at 24 weeks after completion of therapy.
This is a multicenter clinical trial designed to compare the efficacy of 48 weeks of therapy with pegylated (PEG)-Interferon/ribavirin in Southeastern Asian patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C with 48 weeks of therapy with PEG-Interferon/ribavirin in Caucasian patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C. This study is also designed to provide a randomized comparison of 24 weeks versus 48 weeks of therapy with PEG-Interferon/ribavirin in Southeastern Asian patients with genotypes 6-9. The primary endpoint is sustained virologic response, as defined by negative hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) in serum at 24 weeks after therapy completion.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if peginterferon alpha-2a maintenance therapy (90 mcg/week) will lower portal pressure in patients with hepatitis C virus infections and advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis.
