Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C"

This single arm study will assess the safety of NeoRecormon in the correction of anemia in patients with chronic hepatitis C who are being treated with Pegylated interferon + ribavirin combination therapy. Patients will receive NeoRecormon at a starting dose of 30,000 IU s.c. which will be adjusted as required to maintain a target Hb of 11-13g/dL. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1 year, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Debio 025 (alisporivir) is an oral cyclophilin inhibitor with a new mechanism of action demonstrating potent anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) activity in pre-clinical models and patients. The current standard of care (SOC) in HCV patients consists of a combination of peg-IFN alpha and ribavirin. Treatment duration and ribavirin dose depend on the genotype treated. Only 40-50% of patients with genotype 1 achieve a sustained viral response (SVR). This study assesses whether Debio 025 administered in combination with peg-IFN alpha 2a and ribavirin can improve the outcome of treatment in this group of patients.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile and tolerability of single oral doses of BMS-650032 in subjects with chronic hepatitis C infection

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity and safety of telaprevir on Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotype 4, alone or in combination with standard therapy, that is, pegylated-interferon-alfa-2a and ribavirin in treatment-naive (never been treated before with antiretroviral therapy) participants.

Assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of multiple oral doses of PF-00868554 in HCV positive patient volunteers

This is a phase 3, randomized, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of albumin interferon alfa-2b (alb-IFN)in combination with ribavirin compared with peginterferon alfa-2a (PEGASYS or PEG-IFNa2a) in combination with ribavirin in subjects with chronic hepatitis C, genotype 2/3 who are IFNa treatment naive.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 4 regimens of PEGASYS plus Copegus, in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype 1 who have failed to respond to previous treatment with standard doses of PEGASYS plus ribavirin. Patients will be randomized to one of 4 groups, to receive a)PEGASYS 360 micrograms/week plus Copegus 1000-1200mg/day, b)PEGASYS 180 micrograms twice weekly plus Copegus 1000-1200mg/day, c)PEGASYS 360micrograms/week plus Copegus 1200-1600mg/day, or d)PEGASYS 180 micrograms twice weekly plus Copegus 1200-1600mg/day. Following 48 weeks treatment, there will be a 24 week period of treatment-free follow-up. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

We hypothesize that atorvastatin will decrease HCV viral load in patients taking the medication. Cholesterol is needed for HCV virion production. Cell culture studies have shown that atorvastatin (an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor) decreases HCV viral replication. As atorvastatin has been proven to decrease heart attack and stroke in patients with high cholesterol, this medication is indicated for the treatment of elevated cholesterol in at risk individuals. Therefore we propose to study the effect atorvastatin has on the viral load of patients initiated on atorvastatin therapy for their elevated cholesterol.

This is a phase 3, randomized, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of albumin interferon alfa 2b (alb-IFN)in combination with ribavirin compared with peginterferon alfa-2a (PEGASYS or PEG-IFNa2a) in combination with ribavirin in subjects with chronic hepatitis C, genotype 1 who are IFNa treatment naive.

This is a dose finding and efficacy trial for fluvastatin versus hepatitis C.
