Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate daclatasvir in combination with sofosbuvir given to children with chronic hepatitis C infection
HCV infection is treated with oral drugs, termed as 'direct-acting anti-viral agents' (DAAs). In India, four DAAs are available (sofosbuvir [SOF], daclatasvir [DCV], ledipasvir [LDV] and velpatasvir [VEL]). Globally, DAA based regimens have obtained excellent rates of cure. Cure of HCV infection is defined as undetectable HCV RNA 12 weeks after stopping drugs, also referred to as sustained virological response at week 12 (SVR12). Using these DAA based treatment regimens, a small number (up to 5%) of people fail to achieve SVR12 and HCV RNA reappear after a few weeks of stopping the drugs (virological relapse). Data on management of virological relapse are extremely limited, especially in genotype 3, and no guidelines exist regarding re-treatment options for such group. Hence, we plan to re-treat such people using what appear to be the best combination treatment in each situation and to review our experience over time. Participants with chronic HCV infection who relapsed following standard DAA-based treatment regimen will be invited to participate. We propose to re-treat them with the anti-HCV drug combination which appears to be the most suited to his/her clinical profile, based on the current empiric knowledge - the choice of drugs will be based on HCV genotype, the previous treatment regimen and the presence/absence of liver cirrhosis, etc. During anti-HCV treatment, participants will be given expected standard of care and HCV RNA will be tested at 4-week intervals starting from week 4 and till RNA becomes undetectable, and then at the end of treatment and 12 weeks after the treatment was stopped - as is the usual practice during such treatment. Relevant clinical, laboratory and treatment details will be recorded in a pre-defined data collection form. Treatment outcome will be categorized as success (SVR12), treatment failure (any detectable HCV RNA at the end of 24 weeks treatment duration) or relapse (HCV RNA negative at the end of treatment, but positive at 12 weeks after stopping treatment). If possible, a 5-ml blood specimen will be collected before starting re-treatment from all participants; in addition, another similar specimen will be collected following the treatment in those in whom the re-treatment is unsuccessful. These will be stored and may be used in future for virological studies to look for drug-resistance variations.
The purpose of this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II study is to assess the efficacy and safety of orally administered DS102 in adult patients with acute decompensated alcoholic hepatitis
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the 12 week treatment regimens of inarigivir soproxil plus tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) or commercially available nucleoside/nucleotide (NUC) in adults with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), to evaluate the antiviral activity of 12 weeks of inarigivir soproxil plus TAF versus TAF alone in viremic CHB participants (Groups 1-3, 5), and to evaluate the antiviral activity of 12 weeks of inarigivir soproxil with commercially available NUC(s) in virally suppressed CHB participants (Group 4).
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-part study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and antiviral activity (Part 3 only) of orally administered AL-611 in healthy volunteers (HV; Parts 1-2) and subjects with CHC (Part 3). Part 1: HV will receive 1 of 5 single ascending doses (SAD) of AL-611 Part 2: Eight HV from Cohort 3 in Part 1 are planned to receive a second single dose of AL-611 or placebo (as per their randomized assignment in Part 1) in a fed state after a washout period Part 3: Subjects with CHC infection will receive 1 of 3 planned multiple ascending doses (MAD)
Previous studies indicated that Granulocyte Macrophage-colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) could improve survival rate in patients with acute liver failure and obtain higher HBsAg seroconversion rate when in combination with peg-interferon for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. In this study, investigators will study the clinical effect of entecavir (ETV) plus GM-CSF in patients with CHB compared to ETV monotherapy.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the durability of Sustained virologic response (SVR) in participants who achieved SVR at last post-therapy visit of parent studies (LPVPS) with NCT Numbers NCT02569710 and NCT02765490.
This is an open-label, randomized, multi-part study to evaluate the relative oral bioavailability of a tablet formulation of AL-3778 (formerly NVR 3-778) administered under fasted and fed conditions (Parts 1 and 2) and the drug-drug interaction between AL-3778 and entecavir or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (Part 3).
To address the need for more affordable hepatitis C virus (HCV) antivirals with high barriers to viral resistance and strategies to shorten the current treatment duration, the goal is to develop affordable therapeutic regimens to prevent HCV entry/spread and test the efficacy of those inhibitors for treating HCV infection. The investigators recently discovered that a major cholesterol uptake receptor is required for HCV entry into hepatocytes and that there is already an FDA-approved drug that inhibits cholesterol uptake by this receptor. Importantly the same drug also potently blocks HCV entry in human liver cells both in cell culture and in a small animal model. Further, looking back at people who were previously treated for HCV infection, the investigators found treatment response to be better (i.e. larger viral log reduction) in patients who happened to be taking ezetimibe (EZE). Hence, the objective of this study is to assess whether the FDA-approved drug (ezetimibe) is useful for the treatment of chronic HCV. The investigators predict that when administered as monotherapy ezetimibe will reduce HCV viremia perhaps allowing for viral clearance and that when included in combination treatment regimens that EZE will increase HCV decline resulting in faster viral clearance (i.e. shorter/cheaper direct-acting antiviral [DAA] therapy). To test these hypotheses, the investigators will execute the following aims: (1) Assess the efficacy of EZE monotherapy in chronically HCV infected and predict time to cure; (2) Assess the efficacy of EZE as an adjunct therapy in chronically HCV infected patients undergoing currently approved HCV DAA treatment.
This is a nonrandomized, multi-site, open-label trial to evaluate a novel two-drug combination regimen (uprifosbuvir [MK-3682] 450 mg + ruzasvir [RZR; MK-8408] 180 mg once daily [q.d.] for 12 weeks) in male and female treatment-naïve (TN) or treatment-experienced (TE) participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection genotype (GT) GT1, GT2, GT3, GT4, GT5, or GT6 who have not previously received HCV direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy. Cirrhotic (C) and non-cirrhotic (NC) participants with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infection will be enrolled.
