Filter by:This is a 3-arm, multi-center, patient-randomized, field evaluation of the "Way to Cure" behavioral interventions on medication adherence in HCV.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed dose combination (FDC) with or without ribavirin (RBV) in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
Background: - Chronic hepatitis C is a serious liver disease. Current treatments have side effects. New drugs have been developed, but they work better in some people than others. Researchers want to learn why. Objective: - To learn why new hepatitis C drugs sometimes do not work. Also, to learn if these drugs are safe and how well they work in people with different virus strains. Eligibility: - Adults age 18 and older who are infected with hepatitis C virus genotypes 1-4 and who have either never been treated or treated previously with an interferon regimen (with or without ribavirin) that failed to clear the virus. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical history and physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests and complete questionnaires. - Participants will have a Fibroscan, an ultrasound that measures liver stiffness and other liver scans. They will have an electrocardiogram. - Eligible participants will have a liver biopsy. - Participants will be admitted to the Clinical Center. They will have a physical exam and blood tests, and complete questionnaires. - They will take the first study drug dose as a tablet taken once daily. - Participants will take the drug at home for 12 weeks. - Participants will have 6 study visits. They will have blood and vital signs taken, and complete questionnaires. - At week 4, participants will have another liver biopsy. - After their last drug dose, participants will have 5 follow-up visits. They will have blood and vital signs taken, and complete questionnaires. They will discuss their medications and side effects. They may have another Fibroscan.
The gold-standard treatment of Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), with prednisone alone or in conjunction with azathioprine can reach resolution of the disease in 70-80% of the cases in US. However, in Brazil the response to these treatments seems to be worse, approximately 35% in five years. Because of the side effects of the gold-standard treatment and the need for an alternative option for the no responsive patients, news drugs must be evaluated for this proposal. Chloroquine diphosphate is an antimalarial drug that has been used for the treatment of rheumatological diseases for at the least five decades. Chloroquine was used as a single drug for up to two years for the maintenance of AIH remission in an open study. There was a 6.49 greater chance of relapse in the historical controls when compared with patients treated with chloroquine (72.2% x 23.5%; p = 0.031). The aim of this study was to investigate whether chloroquine in conjunction with prednisone can be used as an alternative treatment of AIH in a randomized study, and to evaluate its side effects.
This is a Phase IV, open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the real world sustained virological response rate, subject adherence, and subject reported outcomes during and after treatment of non-cirrhotic genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C subjects aged 18 years and older, with VIEKIRA PAK (ombitasvir, paritaprevir/r, dasabuvir), with or without RBV (ribavirin).
This study will evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and the ability of MK-1075 to suppress viral load (VL) in HCV-infected participants during 7 days of once daily dose administration. The primary hypothesis is at a once-daily dose that is sufficiently safe and well tolerated in HCV-infected participants, the mean maximum HCV RNA (log10 IU/mL) reduction is at least 3 log10 IU/mL as compared to baseline following multiple dose oral administration of MK-1075 in HCV genotype 1 (GT1) and genotype 3 (GT3) infected participants.
Treatment for severe alcoholic hepatitis patients not eligible for steroid therapy is a dilemma. Pentoxyfilline has been shown to have no improvement in outcomes as per current studies and liver transplantation is with great risk of recidivism in this difficult to treat cohort of patients. Dysbiosis forms the central role in severe alcoholic hepatitis patients and modulation of gut microbiota by way of healthy donor fecal transplantation could prove to be a novel way to treating these patients who are ineligible for standard therapy. This study utilizes correction of dysbiosis in severe alcoholic hepatitis and surveys outcomes with the same with respect to survival and liver disease severity scores.
The primary objectives of this study are to determine the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) in adults with acute genotype 1 or 4 hepatitis C virus (HCV) and chronic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 co-infection.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of ABT-493 and ABT-530 with or without ribavirin (RBV) in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus, (HCV)-infection who previously failed treatment with a direct acting antiviral (DAA)-containing regimen.
The purpose of this study is to compare the immunogenicity and safety of three different immunization schedules of inactivated hepatitis A vaccine (HAV) and/ or combined hepatitis A and B vaccine (HABV) in healthy Chinese infants.
