Filter by:This is an exploratory study to characterize the ex vivo immune response to RO6871765 or RO7011785 stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) extracted from healthy volunteers and chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.
The primary objective of this study is to characterize the long term (ie, 96 weeks of follow up) bone safety profile of open-label tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF) treatment in CHB-infected adolescents. This includes prospectively evaluating and comparing the bone mineral density (BMD) change between CHB-infected adolescents 12 to < 18 years of age treated with tenofovir DF in European treatment centers who are assigned to one of two schedules for renal and bone laboratory monitoring and BMD measurement.
Follow-up for viral activity, changes in liver function and safety in patients with no SVR24 in feeder studies
1. Achieve sustained virologic response (SVR) in patients infected with HCV genotype 1, cirrhosis, and early clinical decompensation using 12 weeks of Olysio/Sovaldi/Ribavirin (or known as: Simeprevir(SMV)/Sofosbuvir(SOF)/Ribavirin (RBV). 2. Hepatic improvement during and after Simeprevir(SMV)/Sofosbuvir(SOF)/Ribavirin(RBV) treatment using a new test of liver function, HepQuant-SHUNT.
Participants with chronic HBV infection will receive multiple doses of ARC-520 in combination with entecavir or tenofovir and be evaluated for safety and efficacy.
Steroid is the treatment of choice in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis. However, null- or partial responder of steroid treatment is recommended to consider liver transplantation. The yearly demand for liver transplants far exceeds the supply of available organs and alcoholic liver disease has been a controversial indication for transplantation. Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) has been reported to have effect of proliferation of hepatic progenitors in alcoholic steatohepatitis. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of G-CSF in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis with null or partial response to steroid.
Chronic liver injury leads to the accumulation of proteins in the liver that form dense scars. Liver scar formation is typically a slow process that leads to major organ damage and loss of function over the course of many years. During scar formation the extracellular matrix in the liver changes. The type and quantity of extracellular collagen and other proteins change during tissue remodeling. Some of these changes can be detected by analyzing factors present in blood. Because of the lengthy time course, changes in the rate of liver scar formation and regression are very difficult measure; however, accurate measurements are needed in order to conduct trials of interventions aimed at preventing scar formation and/or promotion scar regression. Current methods have sub-optimal specificity and selectivity. The long term objective of the study is to identify serum proteins that can be used to accurately estimate rates of liver fibrosis progression and regression. The project focusses on a novel methodology that uses stable isotope labeling with deuterated water, D2O, to tag newly-synthesized proteins. Mass spectroscopy is used to identify individual proteins and to quantify the ratio of labeled protein to total protein. This ratio provides information about the rate of synthesis of the protein of interest. This method will be applied to specimens from patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who are about to begin HCV treatment. Treatment is known to reduce liver inflammation and collagen content.
This is a long-term safety follow-up protocol for subjects who received TT-034 under the B2801001 protocol and consists of monitoring for at least 4.5 years.
Dendritic cells (DC) play a central role in the activation of T-cell responses and have shown to be very immunogenic in preclinical in vivo and in vitro assays. The aims of this study is to assess the efficacy of therapeutic vaccination pilot clinical trial in Genotype 1 HCV patients using autologous DC transduced with a recombinant adenovirus encoding NS3
The primary objective of this study is to assess changes in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected subjects given daily doses of JKB-122 for 3 months who have been nonresponsive to, intolerable to, or relapsed from prior interferon-based therapies (pegylated or standard) either alone or in combination with ribavirin or other anti-HCV therapies including direct-acting anti-viral agents.
