Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C"

Patients with acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection usually become chronicity if viremia persists after 6 months of infection. The result of using pegylated interferon plus ribavirin combination therapy upon these patients remains to be explored

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-part study will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of orally administered AL-335 in healthy volunteers (HV) and subjects with CHC infection.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of ABT-493 and ABT-530 with or without ribavirin (RBV) in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus, (HCV)-infection who previously failed treatment with a direct acting antiviral (DAA)-containing regimen.

This study will evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and the ability of MK-1075 to suppress viral load (VL) in HCV-infected participants during 7 days of once daily dose administration. The primary hypothesis is at a once-daily dose that is sufficiently safe and well tolerated in HCV-infected participants, the mean maximum HCV RNA (log10 IU/mL) reduction is at least 3 log10 IU/mL as compared to baseline following multiple dose oral administration of MK-1075 in HCV genotype 1 (GT1) and genotype 3 (GT3) infected participants.

The primary objectives of this study are to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir (SOF/VEL/VOX) fixed dose combination (FDC) for 8 weeks with that of SOF/VEL FDC for 12 weeks in direct-acting antiviral-naive participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

New and recently EMA/FDA approved direct acting antiviral (DAA) combination therapies cure 95% or more of the patients chronically infected with HCV genotype 1 and 4. Grazoprevir (MK-5172) and elbasvir (MK-8742) combination therapy is such a, albeit not yet EMA/FDA approved combination DAA therapy. It is likely that the synergistic effect of the host's immune response and antiviral therapy when given during the first 6 months of HCV infection makes antiviral therapy during acute HCV infection more effective. In this study the investigators would like to document that treatment of acute HCV with grazoprevir (MK-5172), elbasvir (MK-8742) is effective and can ben shortened from 12 to 8 weeks for HCV genotype 1 and 4 infection without substantial loss in efficacy. Study design and intervention: Prospective open label interventional clinical trial in which 80 acute HCV genotype 1 or 4 patients co-infected with HIV will receive 8 weeks of grazoprevir and elbasvir (a once-daily combination tablet). Study population: 80 Adult HIV positive patients with an acute HCV genotype 1 or 4 infection from 10 HIV treatment centers in the Netherlands and Belgium will be included. Primary endpoint: Sustained viral response (SVR) 12 weeks after the end of therapy in ITT study population (=genotype 1 and 4).

Hepatitis C is a global problem, prevalent in developed as well as in the developing countries. New treatment regimens using PegInterferon in combination with ribavirin has led to improved sustained viral response rates for some genotypes. A single arm, open labeled, multicentre trial was conducted to evaluate the response rate and safety of PegInterferon alfa-2a (Unipeg®) plus ribavirin (Ribazole®) for the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C infection. RVR at 4 weeks, ETR at 24 weeks for genotype 3 and at 48 weeks for genotype 1 patients and SVR was determined at 24 weeks after completion of treatment. Quality of life at baseline and at follow-up visits were determined using SF-36.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Sofosbuvir containing regimens in treatment-naive or treatment-experienced patients with HCV genotypes 2 infection.

Two Groups of Genotype 4 HCV Patients will participate through open-label randomized Study comparing Sofosbuvir tablet Plus Ribavirin tablet (Part A) versus single Dose (2 tablets) of EHCV containing Sofosbuvir, Ribavirin, and Natural anti-hemolytic (B) evaluating the safety and efficacy for both arms. Sponsor: Wadi El Nil Hospital Study Centers Planned: Approximately 2 sites in Egypt

Primary Objective: This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an HCV Care Facilitation intervention in moving HIV/HCV co-infected substance users forward along the HCV care continuum (compared with a Control group). Primary Hypothesis: The number of steps achieved along the HCV care continuum will differ between the two study groups over the 14-month follow-up period. Secondary Objectives: Component 1 (Long-term CTN 0049 follow-up): Using the CTN 0064 baseline data (self-report, medical record abstraction and biological data), the following CTN 0049 primary and secondary outcomes in participants who consented to the CTN 0064 protocol will be re-analyzed to evaluate latent and/or enduring effects of the CTN 0049 interventions: HIV virological suppression HIV primary care visit attendance All-cause mortality
