Filter by:This study will examine the effectiveness of 15 days of therapy with SCY-635 in reducing hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA levels.
Patients for whom treatment with peginterferon plus ribavirin was unsuccessful represent a category of patients for whom there is currently no worthwhile therapeutic alternative. Several studies have shown that there is a relation between plasma ribavirin concentrations and treatment response. Adequate ribavirin plasma concentrations, especially during the first 12 weeks of treatment, should be associated with a better chance of response to the treatment. The strategy for this study will be to use a loading dose of ribavirin before beginning the treatment with peg-interferon, thereby allowing for optimal ribavirin concentrations to be reached, and possibly improving the effectiveness of the treatment.
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.
Patients with HCV genotype 6 infection who have a rapid virological response to treatment are randomised to either 24 or 48 weeks HCV treatment. Our hypothesis is that there is no important difference in effect between the two treatment effect.
Vitamin D deficiency is commonly found in patients with chronic hepatitis C. The investigators hypothesize that the correction of hypovitaminosis D before the initiation of anti-HCV combination therapy and the maintenance of an optimal vitamin D status during antiviral therapy could improve the antiviral efficacy
Filibuvir, a CYP3A4 inhibitor is being developed for the treatment of chronic Hepatitis C infection. Given the likelihood of co administration of filibuvir and methadone, this study will evaluate the effect of filibuvir on the pharmacokinetics of R/S Methadone.
The purpose of the study was to determine safety and efficacy of 48 weeks treatment with Thymosin alpha 1 (Talpha1) in combination with pegylated interferon (PEGIFN) alpha2a and ribavirin (RBV) in adult patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) already treated with, and not responding to previous courses of PEGIFN alpha plus RBV combination therapy, in comparison with a concurrent group treated with PEG IFN alpha2a in combination with RBV and placebo.
The working hypothesis is that the low HDL serum level predict favorable response to anti viral treatment in chronic HCV (genotype 1) viral infection. This might be used to improve the rate of sustained virologic response.
This study is designed to evaluate the potential for a pharmacokinetic (PK) drug-drug interaction between IDX320 and IDX184 and to assess the safety and tolerability when the two drugs are administered in combination in healthy participants.
The purpose of this study it to evaluate the safety and tolerability of VX-985 in HCV subjects. This study will also evaluate the antiviral activity and pharmacokinetic profile of VX-985.
