Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy of a human monoclonal antibody against Hepatitis C (MBL-HCV1) combined with telaprevir [part 1: an HCV protease inhibitor] or sofosbuvir [part 2: an Hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase inhibitor] in a 56 day treatment duration in patients undergoing liver transplantation due to chronic HCV infection. There is an option for extended study treatment through 84 days if viral load is undetectable at day 56.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver disease is the most common indication for liver transplantation (LT). However, LT does not cure the infection, and therapeutic strategies resulted in very limited efficacy and tolerability in LT recipients. In view of its postulated safety profile, Silibinin seems an ideal drug to be used in the setting of HCV recurrent patients after liver transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall efficacy, and safety profile, of triple combination therapy of DEB025/pegIFN/RBV in chronic hepatitis C patients who failed prior treatment with PI.
In vitro in the hepatitis C virus (HCV) replicon system, modulation of the biliary salts nuclear receptor FXR by either agonists or antagonists respectively increases or decreases the replication of HCV (J Hepatol, 2008, 48: 192-9). One antagonist of FXR is a vegetal sterol, guggulsterone, that is extracted from the Commiphora mukul tree and that has already been given safely to hyper cholesterolemic patients in a clinical trial (JAMA 2003, 290: 765-72). The aim of this trial is to test the effect of the FXR antagonist guggulsterone given orally, three times a day, on the viral load in 15 HCV genotype 1 chronically infected patients.
Fatigue is one of the most common side effects of the treatment of hepatitis C infection with pegylated interferon and ribavirin, and is a major cause of treatment discontinuation. Armodafinil is an FDA approved stimulant medication for the treatment of narcolepsy and shift-work sleep disorder. This is a randomized placebo controlled study to determine whether patients assigned to armodafinil have fewer missed doses, dose reductions or treatment discontinuation due to side effects in the first 12 weeks of treatment for hepatitis C infection than do placebo patients. Placebo patients are offered 14 weeks of open label armodafinil after Week 12.
To assess efficacy of telaprevir, pegylated interferon alfa-2a (Peg-IFN-alfa-2a), and ribavirin (RBV) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a 48-week total treatment duration regimen following liver transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of telaprevir in combination with pegylated interferon alfa 2a (Peg-IFN-alfa-2a) and ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-experienced Black/African American and non-Black/African American participants with Genotype 1 Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC), who have not achieved a sustained viral response with a prior course of interferon-based therapy.
The purpose of this study is to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) co-infected subjects with telaprevir, pegylated interferon alfa-2a (Peg-IFN-alfa-2a), and ribavirin (RBV) to achieve undetectable hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) 12 weeks after the last planned dose of study drug.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-depressive efficacy of mirtazapine in depression induced by peginterferon alpha-2a and ribavirin treatment in Korean patients with chronic hepatitis C.
Hypothesis Response guided therapy improves significantly the overall SVR in Hispanics compared to historical control. There is no difference in SVR between patients with an undetectable HCV RNA at week 8 and week 28 who received a 4 week lead-in of PR plus 24 weeks of PR+BOC based treatment and patients with detectable HCV RNA at week 8 and undetectable HCV RNA at week 24 who received a lead-in of PR plus 32 weeks PR+BOC followed by based therapy and 12 weeks of PR.
