Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of TMC435 compared with placebo in patients who are infected with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus who relapsed after previous interferon-based therapy. Patients will also receive peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin as part of their treatment.
This retrospective study will assess the sustained virologic response and the safety of two different interferons (pegylated or conventional) in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Data will be collected for 24 weeks.
This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination RO5024048 and ritonavir-boosted danoprevir with and without Copegus (ribavirin) in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. In arm A and B, interferon treatment-naïve patients will receive 1000 mg RO5024048 orally twice daily and 100 mg danoprevir with 100 mg ritonavir orally twice daily plus either Copegus (1000 mg or 1200 mg orally daily) or placebo for 12 weeks. Depending on viral response and treatment arm patients will be re-randomized to continue assigned treatment for additional 12 weeks or stop all treatment. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 24 weeks plus a 24-week follow-up. As of 29. September 2011, Arm B patients (placebo-containing arm) will be offered, in conjunction with the current treatment, Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) 180 mcg subcutaneously weekly plus Copegus 1000mg or 1200 mg orally daily for 24 weeks, with a 24-week follow-up.
This study is a three Part, Phase 1, randomized, dose-escalation, fusion, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to determine the safety, tolerability and Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of GSK2336805 in healthy subjects and the safety, tolerability, PK, and antiviral profile of GSK2336805 in subjects chronically infected with HCV: i. Single doses in healthy subjects and the effect of food on GSK2336805 PK (Part 1). ii. Repeat doses in healthy subjects (Part 2) iii. Single doses in chronically infected HCV positive subjects (Part 3).
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) plus peginterferon α-2a (PEG) combination therapy versus standard of care TDF monotherapy or PEG monotherapy in non-cirrhotic adults with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV). The study will consist of 2 phases for participants in the TDF+PEG 48 week, TDF 48 week+PEG 16 week, and PEG 48 week groups. Following an initial 48 weeks of treatment, participants in these groups will be monitored for 24 weeks for signs of worsening HBV, and those with new signs and/or symptoms will be eligible to receive TDF monotherapy during a retreatment phase, up to Week 120.
Chronic hepatitis C has become an endemic disease in Egypt with a rising prevalence (genotype 4), worldwide it also poses a significant health burden. To date standard of care treatment (pegylated interferon and ribavirin) give modest results with a sustained virological response (SVR) of about 50%. Several pharmaceutical and herbal agents have been used with an aim to improve current results. Recent reports have suggested an increased SVR with the addition of Nitazoxanide to standard of care. The results are preliminary and need to be confirmed. This is a randomized trial to assess the efficacy of nitazoxanide added to standard of care compared to standard of care alone.
This will be a randomized, open-label, active-control Phase II pilot trial of bavituximab combined with ribavirin for initial treatment of chronic HCV genotype 1 infection. Eligible patients with normal coagulation, hematological, and renal function will undergo a screening/washout period of up to 28 days, followed by randomization to receive weekly bavituximab or PEG-IFN alpha-2a therapy for 12 weeks, both with twice-daily ribavirin. The primary endpoint of this study is the proportion of patients who show a greater than or equal to 2-log10 IU reduction in plasma HCV RNA level after 12 weeks of treatment (early virological response; EVR). Secondary endpoints include the proportion of patients with an undetectable HCV RNA level after 12 weeks of treatment; the proportion of patients who show a reduction in HCV RNA level of greater than or equal to 2 log10 IU after 4 weeks of treatment, viral kinetics for individual patients over time, and comprehensive evaluation of the safety and tolerability of bavituximab infusion.
The aim of this study is to address questions regarding the link among hepcidin, hematological iron markers, inflammation and hepatitis C in HD patients. In attempt to address this issue, we planned to measure serum levels of hepcidin prohormone (pro-hepcidin), inflammatory and iron parameters.
This phase 2b study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 16 and 24 weeks of a 4-drug regimen with GS-9451 and Tegobuvir and 24 weeks of a 3-drug regimen of GS-9451 without Tegobuvir, all with Peginterferon Alfa-2a (Pegasys®) and Ribavirin (Copegus®).
This study will examine the effectiveness of 28 days of triple combination therapy including SCY-635 with peginterferon alfa 2a and ribavirin in reducing serum HCV RNA levels. An additional 20 weeks of treatment with the currently approved standard of care will be offered to all participants. The Week 24 visit will be the last on-study visit. After the Week 24 visit, all subjects with undetectable HCV RNA will be given the option to continue treatment with standard of care for an additional 24 weeks (out to Week 48) under the care of their Principal Investigator.
