Filter by:This study will explore the relationship of different DEB025 doses in combination with RBV to pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic (i.e. viral load reduction) and safety profiles in chronic hepatitis C GT 2 and 3 treatment naïve patients.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the difference in the efficacy between a 16-week treatment regimen of boceprevir (BOC) in combination with peg-intron alpha 2b (P) plus ribavirin (R) (BOC + PR) and a 28-week treatment regimen of BOC + PR in previously untreated participants with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype 1 in Asia who achieve undetectable hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA).
HCV infection is the most frequent cause of liver chronic disease, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in western countries. To date, the standard antiviral treatment, including pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) plus ribavirin (RBV), has relatively low effectiveness in patients infected with genotype 1 and 4, and is associated with important adverse side effects, that lead to treatment interruption in approximately 30% of cases. The recent association of first generation HCV- specific direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) (telaprevir and boceprevir) to standard treatment has resulted in higher SVR rates, also in patients infected with genotype-1 HCV and in non responders to PEG-IFN plus RBV. While several new DAAs are in development, the ultimate goal is represented by IFN-free regimens, that will provide a great advantage in terms of patients adherence to therapy and quality of life. In this context, prospective observational studies are needed to evaluate the real and long-term impact of the new DAAs in the clinical practice, in terms of efficacy, safety, costs and impact on patients quality of life. Italy is the European country with the greatest number of HCV infected people (average, 3% of population), with higher prevalence in the center and in the south of the country, especially in older individuals, and the highest mortality caused by hepatocellular carcinoma. Genotype 1 is the most frequent one (in more than 50% of infected people). DAAs were approved at the end of 2012. For these reasons, Italy represents an interesting context for collecting data on long-term efficacy, safety and tolerability of new anti-HCV treatments. The PITER cohort study, developed in the frame of Italian Platform for the study of the therapy of viral hepatitis a prospective observational study, is based on a large cohort of HCV infected patients from more than 100 clinical centers distributed on the whole national area. The main aims of the PITER longitudinal cohort study are: 1) to produce of an ongoing and continuously updated picture of the changing epidemiology of HCV infection in the country; 2) to evaluate in a real-life setting the expected impact of DAAs on the natural course of infection and on long-term morbidity and mortality.
The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety of ABT-450/r/ABT-267 with and without ABT-333 coadministered with and without ribavirin (RBV) for 12 and 24 weeks in HCV GT1- or 4-infected participants with HIV-1 coinfection and to evaluate the percentage of subjects achieving HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) < lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) 12 weeks following treatment.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate effect of steady-state (when the amount of drug administered (in a given time period is equal to the amount of drug eliminated in that same period) of simeprevir and daclatasvir on the steady-state pharmacokinetics (what a medication does to the body) of cyclosporine (applicable to Part 1 only) and tacrolimus when administered as a combinational regimen in post-orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) participants with recurrent hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b infection and effectiveness of a 24-week treatment regimen containing simeprevir, daclatasvir, and ribavirin (RBV) with respect to the proportion of HCV genotype 1b infected post-OLT participants achieving sustained virologic response 12 weeks after end of treatment.
Grazoprevir (MK-5172) and Elbasvir (MK-8742) were studied as the principal components of combination oral therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV). The study examined the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of Grazoprevir and Elbasvir following 10 days of dosing in participants with end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) or participants with severe renal impairment. Both groups were compared to healthy matched controls.
The purposes of this study are: 1. To test if 36 weeks of standard dose of ribavirin with PEGASYS® is non-inferior to standard dose of 48 weeks of ribavirin with PEGASYS® in SVR for patients with RVR and HVL 2. To test if the 72 weeks of treatment with PEGASYS® plus standard dose ribavirin is superior to 48 weeks of the same treatment for patients with HCV RNA seropositivity at week 12
PPI-383 is an antiviral agent (an inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase) that is being developed as a potential treatment for hepatitis C virus infection. This study is being done to assess the dose-related safety and tolerance of PPI-383 when given to healthy volunteers for up to 5 days (Part I of the study) and to hepatitis C patients for up to 3 days (Part II). In addition, the study will assess how much PPI-383 is absorbed into the bloodstream. In Part II, the dose-related effect of PPI-383 on the amount of hepatitis C virus in patients' bloodstream (serum HCV RNA levels) also will be assessed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety and tolerability of single-dose administration of IDX719 in participants with normal hepatic function and participants with varying degrees of hepatic impairment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ABT-450/ritonavir/ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267; ABT-450 also known as paritaprevir; ABT-267 also known as ombitasvir) and ABT-333 (also known as dasabuvir) coadministered with ribavirin (RBV) in hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1-infected adults taking methadone or buprenorphine ± naloxone.
