Filter by:Background: Hepatitis B is a viral infection of the liver. When the immune system tries to clear hepatitis B, it damages the liver. Eventually, the immune system gets exhausted fighting the virus. Researchers want to see if giving large doses of an antibody (HBIg) with the drug peginterferon will boost the immune system in people with this disease. Objectives: To observe the effect of large doses of antibody against the hepatitis B surface antigen on the immune response to the virus. To see if removing hepatitis B surface antigen from the blood enhances the action of peginterferon. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older with hepatitis B Design: Participants will be screened twice with a medical history, physical exam, and blood and urine tests. Participants will be randomly put in one of two groups. All participants will get peginterferon for 24 weeks. One group will first get HBIg for 12 weeks. Participants in the combination group will have a 4-day clinic stay. They will have: Repeats of screening tests Eye exam Liver ultrasound The first dose of HBIg by IV over 2 hours These participants will get HBIg at the clinic up to 8 times over 12 weeks then start the peginterferon. All participants will get peginterferon for 24 weeks. They will get it by injection under the skin once a week. They may do this themselves. They will keep a drug diary. They will have 5 visits to assess response and monitoring for safety.. After stopping the study drug, participants will have 4 follow-up visits over 36 weeks. They will repeat screening tests and have 1 liver ultrasound.
This is a non-randomized, open-label study of a fixed dose combination (FDC) of elbasvir (50 mg) and grazoprevir (100 mg) (EBR/GZR or MK-5172A) in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 (GT1) infection with advanced fibrosis with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infection. All participants will be either HCV treatment naïve (TN) or treatment experienced (TE).
This is a Phase 2a, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AL-3778 in combination with Peg-IFN in subjects with Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive CHB virus infection who are treatment-naïve. The study will consist of a screening phase , a double-blind treatment phase followed by treatment with Peg-IFN alone, and a post-treatment follow-up phase. Approximately 30 subjects to complete the study. Eligible subjects will be randomized into 2 treatment arms in a 2:1 ratio (active:placebo) to receive one of the following treatments: - Arm A: Peg-IFN plus AL-3778 (N=20) - Arm B: Peg-IFN plus matching placebo (N=10)
This is a phase 4 clinical trial to treat patients who have failed to treat with regimen based on an inhibitor of the NS5A
There is only one kind of treatment (simeprevir 150 mg + sofosbuvir 400 mg+daclatasvir 60 mg) in this study but the treatment duration may be different depending on patients' response to the antiviral therapy and whether patients have liver cirrhosis. If patients have no cirrhosis and the HCV viral load on day 2 is <500 IU/ml, patients will receive sofosbuvir, daclatasvir and simeprevir for 3 weeks, otherwise the treatment duration is 4 weeks. If patients have cirrhosis and the HCV viral load on day 2 is <500 IU/ml, patients will receive sofosbuvir, daclatasvir and simeprevir for 6 weeks, otherwise the treatment duration will be 8 weeks.
The purpose of this multicenter, single-arm, combination-drug study, which includes 12 weeks of treatment and 24 weeks of follow-up, is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir in Japanese adults infected with HCV GT1b, who are treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced to an IFN-based regimen and who have ESRD on HD.
The purpose of the study is to determine if combination therapy with daclatasvir (DCV) and sofosbuvir (SOF) for 8 weeks is safe and effective in patients who have never been treated previously without liver cirrhosis who are chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV)/HIV-1 Coinfection genotype (GT) 1, 2, 3, 4 patients.
Patients with hepatitis C show impaired neutrophil function. It is not known whether this is a direct of an indirect phenomenon. Using bone marrow biopsies from patients with hepatitis C it is possible to see whether neutrophil granulocyte progenitors are already infected with hepatitis C.
The goal of this pilot study is to examine both efficacy and tolerability in patients with HCV genotype 1 and mild decompensation with Child-Pugh-Turcott score of 6 or lower. The CPT score is used to assess the prognosis of chronic liver diseases, as well as the required strength and treatment and necessity of liver transplantation. A higher CPT score denotes higher necessity of liver transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the percentage of participants with sustained virologic response 12 weeks after the actual end of study treatment (SVR12)
