Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of ANA598 in patients with genotype-1 chronic hepatitis C infection.
This study will determine the amount of liver scarring (fibrosis) or liver damage in people infected with 1) hepatitis B virus (HBV, a virus that can infect the liver); 2) HIV (the virus that causes AIDS); 3) both HBV and HIV; and 4) neither HBV nor HIV. Liver fibrosis and liver damage can have many causes, including alcohol, certain medicines, exposure to some contaminated foods and infections with viruses that affect the liver (such as HBV). About 25 million people in sub-Saharan Africa are infected with HIV and about 50 million with chronic HBV, yet very little information is available on how many people are infected with both viruses and the medical implications of co-infection. Participants in Uganda s Rakai Health Sciences Program (RHSP) or Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) clinic who are 18 years of age or older may be eligible for this study. People enrolled in the study come to the clinic for at least one visit and may be asked to return yearly. During the visit, participants undergo the following procedures: - Questionnaire and a short interview about their health and quality of life. - Physical examination and blood draw. The blood is tested for HBV and other factors that may suggest liver disease. Blood drawn at previous clinic visits or from other studies may also be tested. - Liver evaluation using a FibroScan, a medical device that uses elastic waves to measure liver stiffness in a process similar to ultrasound scanning. For this test, the subjects lies flat on the back with the arm extended out. The tip of the machine s probe is covered with gel and placed on the skin between the ribs at the level of the right lobe of the liver. The machine produces a little tap on the skin that sends a wave out and checks how fast the wave moves. The speed of the wave indicates the amount of scarring in the liver.
PK, safety study of AZD7295 in HCV carriers
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MP-424 with Peginterferon Alfa-2b and RBV in patients with (Genotype 1) hepatitis C, who did not respond to previous treatment.
The "Chinese PAC" study (CLDT600ACN03) will evaluate the efficacy and safety of open label telbivudine in 2,200 compensated Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) adults. The primary objective of the study is the proportion of patients achieving undetectable HBV DNA at week 52.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MP-424 with Peginterferon Alfa-2b (PEG-IFN) and Ribavirin (RBV) in patients with (Genotype 1) hepatitis C, who relapsed after previous treatment.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MP-424 with Peginterferon Alfa-2b (PEG-IFN) and Ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-naïve patients with (Genotype 1) hepatitis C.
The pathogenesis of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is associated to severe oxidative stress and non-selective immunological disturbance that leads to necro-inflammation and progression of fibrosis. Previous trials suggested that antioxidant and inmunostimulant therapies may have a beneficial effect. The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether Viusid, a nutritional supplement with hepatoprotective properties, could ameliorate the oxidative stress and modulate the immune response in patients with CHC and non-responders to pegylated interferon plus ribavirin, during 24 weeks of treatment.
The objective was to investigate the antiviral effect, safety, and pharmacokinetics of BI 201335 (Faldaprevir), given as a soft gelatine capsule, in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection. Combination therapy of BI 201335 (Faldaprevir) with pegylated interferon α-2a (PegIFN) and ribavirin (RBV), with or without a 3-day lead-in, was assessed in treatment-naïve (TN) and treatment experienced (TE) patients.
