Filter by:This 2 arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of intermittent treatment with PEGASYS in HBeAg negative patients with chronic hepatitis B who have demonstrated virological and biochemical response after treatment with interferon alfa. After 48 weeks therapy with interferon alfa, and 24 weeks treatment-free follow-up, eligible patients will be randomized into the PEGASYS or the observational group. Those in the PEGASYS group will receive 4 therapeutic cycles of long term intermittent treatment with PEGASYS (135 micrograms sc weekly for 12 weeks, followed by a treatment-free period of 12 weeks) and those in the observational arm will receive no specific antiviral treatment. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years, and the target sample size is 100 individuals.
This 48-week open-label study of local manufactured adefovir dipivoxil Tablet evaluates the efficacy and safety of adefovir 10mg once daily in Chinese subjects with compensated CHB. Primary endpoint is proportion of subjects achieving HBV DNA undetectable (<=1000 copies/mL by by Roche COBAS AMPLICOR HBV MONITOR Test) at week 48. Approximately 1250 patients will be recruited in 30 study centers in China. The subjects are offered 48 weeks of open label adefovir dipivoxil treatment, with assessments every three months, after with is a 12-week post study treatment follow-up prior to study completion.
This is a dose finding and efficacy trial for fluvastatin versus hepatitis C.
To determine if there is an improvement in the immune response to HBsAg (hepatitis B virus) in healthy infants using a modified process in a combination Haemophilus Influenzae, type b/Hepatitis B vaccine and a currently licensed Haemophilus Influenzae, type b/Hepatitis B vaccine
The purpose of this trial is to determine if there is an improvement in the immune response of older adults over 50 years of age using a modified process hepatitis B vaccine and a currently licensed hepatitis B vaccine (RECOMBIVAX HB™).
To describe the immunogenicity and safety of modified process hepatitis B vaccine administered to renal predialysis and dialysis patients
This single arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of PEGASYS in treatment-naive Baltic patients with HBeAg-positive chronic HBV. All patients will receive PEGASYS 180 micrograms s.c. once weekly. Following 48 weeks of treatment, there will be a 24 week period of treatment-free follow-up. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
This 4 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of PEGASYS given for 24 or 48 weeks, and at doses of 90 or 180 micrograms weekly, in the treatment of HBeAg positive patients with chronic hepatitis B. Patients will be randomized to one of 4 treatment groups: a)PEGASYS 90 micrograms subcutaneous (sc) weekly for 24 weeks, b)PEGASYS 180 micrograms sc weekly for 24 weeks, c)PEGASYS 90 micrograms sc weekly for 48 weeks or d)PEGASYS 180 micrograms sc weekly for 48 weeks. Following treatment there will be a 24 week period of treatment-free follow-up in all treatment groups for the primary endpoint. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
The purpose of this study is to find out if a new investigational hepatitis B virus vaccine, HEPLISAV™, is safe and effective compared with Engerix-B® vaccine in subjects 11-55 years old. The primary hypothesis is that the seroprotective immune response of HEPLISAV™ is at least as good as that of Engerix-B®.
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.
