Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis C"

To evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of VGX-6150 as second-line therapy in chronic hepatitis C patients

This is an open label, dose ranging, phase1a/1b clinical trial to study the safety, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Peglamda 60, 120, 180 and 240 mcg in healthy volunteers and antiviral activity of once weekly Peglamda administration in combination with daily Ribavirin in Hepatitis C naive patients up to 4 weeks period. The objective of the study to establish safety, PK/PD data on healthy subjects and preliminary efficacy and safety in Hepatitis C naive patients.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Chloroquine comparing with placebo for treatment of non- response HCV patients.. In this triple blind pilot study, 20 patients with confirmed chronic hepatitis C will be randomize into treatment group (Chloroquine 150 mg daily, for 8 weeks) or control group (placebo once daily, for 8 weeks). Patients who have receiving anti neoplastic, anti viral or Immunomedullator drugs during 6 months prior to study, have co-infection Hepatitis A,C,D or HIV, severe liver or renal dysfunction, are pregnant or breast fed, or refuse to sign informed consent will be excluded.. At the end of therapy (12 weeks) and at baseline, first, second and third month after receiving drug and placebo HCV Virus load, CBC LFT and biochemical parameters will be evaluated and compared between groups.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of sofosbuvir (GS-7977; PSI-7977) administered in combination with pegylated interferon and ribavirin (PEG/RBV) in treatment-naive patients with HCV genotypes 1,4,5,6, or indeterminate genotype.

Patients for whom treatment with peginterferon plus ribavirin was unsuccessful represent a category of patients for whom there is currently no worthwhile therapeutic alternative. Several studies have shown that there is a relation between plasma ribavirin concentrations and treatment response. Adequate ribavirin plasma concentrations, especially during the first 12 weeks of treatment, should be associated with a better chance of response to the treatment. The strategy for this study will be to use a loading dose of ribavirin before beginning the treatment with peg-interferon, thereby allowing for optimal ribavirin concentrations to be reached, and possibly improving the effectiveness of the treatment.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of boceprevir (steady state) on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of raltegravir. The effect on the boceprevir pharmacokinetics of a single dose raltegravir will also be evaluated (compared to historical controls). Furthermore, the safety profile of the combination is studied.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of TMC435 compared with placebo in participants who are infected with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus who have never received treatment before. Participants will also receive peginterferon alpha-2a and ribavirin as part of their treatment.

This is a phase I pilot study to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of a novel hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry inhibitor (ITX 5061) in patients with HCV infection undergoing liver transplantation.

This phase II, multicentric, national pilot trial is designed to estimate the sustained virological response rate (SVR) following a 12 weeks treatment by telaprevir combined with a 48 or 72 weeks treatment by peginterferon and ribavirin, based upon the rapid virological response (RVR) at week 8 (4 weeks after telaprevir start), and to compare the observed SVR to 20%, a rate determining a significant therapeutic benefit in this population of patients. The primary endpoint will be the SVR defined as undetectable HCV-RNA measured 24 weeks after the end of therapy (EOT).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a treatment with TMC435 in combination with peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin in patients who did not clear their hepatitis C infection with peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin alone within a previous trial conducted by Tibotec, or who participated in Tibotec trials in which antivirals directed against hepatitis C virus (HCV) were evaluated for short periods of time.
