Filter by: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 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.
This single arm study will assess the safety of NeoRecormon in the correction of anemia in patients with chronic hepatitis C who are being treated with Pegylated interferon + ribavirin combination therapy. Patients will receive NeoRecormon at a starting dose of 30,000 IU s.c. which will be adjusted as required to maintain a target Hb of 11-13g/dL. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1 year, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile and tolerability of single oral doses of BMS-650032 in subjects with chronic hepatitis C infection
A open-labeled phase lV study with 96 weeks of treatment period. The purpose of this study is to investigate safety and efficacy of clevudine in patients chronically infected with hepatitis B virus, HBeAg positive or negative.
A multi-center and open study to compare the safety and effectiveness of switching treatment from lamivudine to clevudine for 24 weeks.
The study will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of single doses of VBY-376 in healthy subjects.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of TCM-700C as an add-on treatment to the combination drug therapy (Peginterferon α-2b plus Ribavirin) for patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C infections. This will be demonstrated by a higher sustained virologic response rate, defined as the absence of detectable HCV RNA 24 weeks after the termination of combinational drug treatment, compared with the placebo add-on.
Hypothesis: A regimen of low dose of peginterferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin may be as effective as currently recommended regimen for chronic hepatitis C in HIV-coinfected patients. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of lower dose of pegylated interferon-α 2a (135 µg weekly) plus ribavirin and a shorter duration of treatment (20 weeks after achieving an undetectable plasmatic HCV-RNA)than the current recommended in patients with chronic hepatitis or compensated cirrhosis by hepatitis C virus, genotypes 2 or 3, in HIV-coinfected patients in real use conditions. Method: Phase IV, postautorization, open labelled multicenter trial with a planned duration of 118 weeks in which 71 patients from several hospitals of the Servicio Andaluz de Salud will be enrolled. The usual clinical and analytical follow up will be performed but additional blood samples will be obtained for determination of interferon and ribavirin plasma levels. The primary end point wall be a sustained virologic response (defined as an undetectable serum HCV-RNA after 24 weeks after the cessation of treatment). Likewise, rapid virological response (at 4 weeks of treatment), early virological response (at 12 weeks), and end of treatment response rates will be evaluated as well as their relationships with the plasma interferon an ribavirin concentrations determined by ELISA and HPLC, respectively. The safety and tolerability of the studied medications will be evaluated by means of clinical adverse events, physical examination and laboratory results.
