Filter by:The rate of sustained virological response (SVR) in patients with chronic hepatitis C, genotype 3, high viral load and without rapid virological response (RNA-HCV negative at week 4) is low. Standard of care of these patients include treatment with weekly peginterferon plus 800 mg/day of ribavirin (RBV). Extended treatment to 48 weeks does not provide more clinical benefit than the standard duration. The main hypothesis is that higher dose of ribavirin may be better in terms of SVR than the standard dose.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of the RNA and the reproducibility of gene expression profiling from liver tissue samples obtained by fine needle aspiration.
To determine safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of escalating doses of SD-101 alone and SD-101 plus ribavirin in subjects with chronic hepatitis C and no prior therapy.
This trial will test the hypothesis that CF102 can safely and effectively suppress viral load in patients with chronic hepatitis C and high circulating levels of virus. The trial will monitor the safety of twice-daily oral dosing with CF102 over a 16-week period; will measure changes in viral load during therapy; and will measure blood concentrations of CF102 at various time points during dosing.
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 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.
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.
Chronic liver disease are characterized by increased levels of plasma IL-6, but the bioactivity of this cytokine in this disease is not well known. IL-6 receptor complex is regulated by multiple receptors subunits: the soluble form of IL-6 Receptor enhance IL-6 signal by a process called trans-signaling on cells expressing few membrane IL-6 receptors. Soluble gp130 is the natural inhibitor of IL-6 trans-signaling. The aim of this study is to characterize circulating and liver levels of theses compounds of IL-6 receptor complex, to unravel the bioactivity of IL-6 in this disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine if taking nitazoxanide alone for 4 weeks followed by 36 weeks of nitazoxanide plus peginterferon is superior to peginterferon plus ribavirin (standard of care) for 48 weeks.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of alb-interferon in adults with genotype 2 or 3 chronic hepatitis
