Filter by:A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of ABT-450 with Ritonavir (ABT-450/r) when given together with ABT-267 and with and without Ribavirin (RBV) in Treatment-Naïve Subjects with Genotype 1, 2 or 3 Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection.
The purpose of this study is to provide anti-HCV drugs to +/- 200 subjects treated in prior BMS studies with placebo + Peginterferon Alfa-2a and Ribavirin and determine if the addition of these drugs can result in higher cure rates in patients who previously failed therapy. Approximately 100 genotype 1b subjects rolling over from BMS study AI447-028 who received placebo will be treated with active drugs in this study.
In this study, participants on methadone or buprenorphine/naloxone maintenance therapy will be given boceprevir. Blood samples will be taken at specified intervals to find out whether boceprevir affects the pharmacokinetics of methadone, buprenorphine, or naloxone.
The purpose of this study is to determine in genotype 1 Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-infected participants, the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (how the drug is absorbed in the body, how it is distributed within the body and removed from the body over time) and antiviral activity of repeated doses of TMC649128 given as monotherapy and given in combination with pegylated interferon + ribavirin. We assess the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (how the study medication affects the body) (PK/PD) relationship for antiviral activity, active metabolite and safety of TMC649128 and its metabolites. We determine the short term safety and tolerability of the co-administration of TMC649128 and pegylated interferon + ribavirin during multiple dosing for 14 days in treatment-naive genotype 1 HCV-infected participants. We explore the effect of pegylated interferon + ribavirin on the pharmacokinetics of TMC649128 during the multiple dosing for 14 days in treatment-naive genotype 1 HCV-infected participants. We also assess in a preliminary way the short term antiviral effect of the combination of TMC649128 with pegylated interferon + ribavirin during a 14-day dosing period in treatment-naive genotype 1 HCV-infected participants.
The purpose of this study is to assess the steady-state pharmacokinetics of TMC435 in participants with severe renal impairment and to compare these with the TMC435 pharmacokinetics in matched participants with normal renal function. We will also study the short-term safety and tolerability of TMC435, when administered in participants with severe renal impairment and in participants with normal renal function. Steady-state is a term that means that the drug has been given long enough so that the plasma concentrations will remain the same with each subsequent dose. TMC435 is being investigated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Pharmacokinetics (PK) means how the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream, distributed in the body, and eliminated from the body.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of steady-state concentrations of erythromycin or DRV/r on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of TMC435, the effect of a steady-state concentration of TMC435 (150 mg) on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of erythromycin and the effect of a steady-state concentration of TMC435 (50 mg) on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of DRV/r. We will also study the short-term safety and tolerability of TMC435 given alone and given togehter with erythromycin (Panel 1) or DRV/r (Panel 2). Steady state is a term that means that the drug has been given long enough so that the plasma concentrations will remain the same with each subsequent dose. TMC435 is being investigated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Pharmacokinetics (PK) means how the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream, distributed in the body, and eliminated from the body.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antiviral activity, safety, and pharmacokinetics of ABT-450 with ritonavir (ABT-450/r) dosed in combination with ABT-333 (also known as dasabuvir) and ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-naïve and non responder participants with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of steady-state concentrations of TMC435 on the single-dose pharmacokinetics of digoxin or rosuvastatin , and the effect of a single dose of digoxin or rosuvastatin on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of TMC435. Steady state is a term that means that the drug has been given long enough so that the plasma concentrations will remain the same with each subsequent dose. TMC435 is being investigated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Pharmacokinetics (PK) means how the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream, distributed in the body, and eliminated from the body.
Insulin resistance is one of the key factors in defining a progressive course of chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and hepatic fibrosis. Multiple trials have targeted insulin resistance as an adjuvant way to manage hepatitis C liver disease with promising results. Long term therapy using high dose insulin was shown to significantly reduce insulin resistance in obese patients. In cardiac and critically ill patients, long term insulin was shown to produce better outcomes mainly by reducing the overt inflammatory response. Furthermore, initial results of ongoing trials are revealing more benefits of insulin therapy. Using the (hyperinsulinimic normoglycemic clamp) for eight hours on patients undergoing major liver resection was able to maximize their liver function post-operatively. This trial also demonstrated inhibition of the inflammatory response, improvement in liver glycogen, inhibition of apoptosis and stimulation of liver regeneration. Putting in mind the potential ability of the liver to regenerate and regain better function. The anti-inflammatory properties of insulin therapy along with its ability to reduce insulin resistance over time has led us to see the potential benefits of using insulin therapy on patients with chronic hepatitis C virus liver cirrhosis. Insulin will target the pathophysiology of the disease at a cellular and a molecular level. The investigators theorize that long-term high insulin therapy would be able to promote better liver function and slow down fibrosis and injury in this population of patients.
To identify a shorter duration of antiviral therapy (12 or 16 weeks) for the combination of daclatasvir with pegylated interferon alfa-2a and ribavirin.
