Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis"

This study is to determine the safety and Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of INH-08189 dosed once a day (QD), two times a day (BID) or adjunctively with Ribavirin and a study of the food effect in Chronically-infected Genotype 1 Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Treatment-naïve subjects.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of telaprevir, given with pegylated-interferon-alfa-2a (Peg-IFN-alfa-2a) and ribavirin (RBV) in the treatment of hepatitis C in patients infected with both chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV-1) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1).

The purpose of this study is to provide anti-hepatitis C virus drugs to patients who received placebo + peginterferon alfa-2a + ribavirin in prior Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) studies and determine whether addition of these drugs results in higher cure rates in patients who previously failed therapy. Approximately 100 genotype 1b patients who received placebo in BMS study NCT01428063 (AI447-028) will receive active drugs in this study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of vaniprevir (300 mg twice daily) given in combination with pegylated interferon alfa-2b (peg-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) in Japanese participants with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype (GT) 1 who have not responded to previous treatment. The primary efficacy objective is to estimate efficacy of vaniprevir, peg-IFN and RBV for 24 weeks as assessed by the percentage of participants achieving undetectable Hepatitis C Virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) 24 weeks after completion of all study therapy (Sustained Viral Response 24 [SVR24]).

This is a study of combination direct-acting antiviral agents (DAA) with or without ribavirin (RBV) in patients with chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).

Background: Chronic hepatitis D is a severe disease of the liver caused by infection with the hepatitis D virus. The hepatitis D virus can only infect a person who also has hepatitis B; therefore, people with delta hepatitis have both hepatitis B and hepatitis D virus infection. Most people with hepatitis D eventually develop cirrhosis, which causes scarring and damage to the liver. There is currently no effective treatment for chronic hepatitis D. Lonafarnib is a drug that was originally designed to treat different types of cancer. It may be able to prevent the hepatitis D virus from reproducing itself. However, it has not been tested on people with hepatitis D. Researchers want to study different doses of lonafarnib to see how they affect virus levels and other symptoms of hepatitis D. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of lonafarnib as a treatment for chronic hepatitis D. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have chronic hepatitis D. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests, eye exams, and imaging studies of the liver and gall bladder. A liver biopsy may also be performed. Participants will receive either lonafarnib or placebo twice a day for 28 days. For the first 3 days, participants will stay in the hospital to have frequent blood tests. Participants will have four more clinic visits (on days 7, 14, 21, and 28) for blood and urine tests. Eye exams and heart function tests will also be given. Men may be asked to provide sperm samples for further testing. After the 28 days of treatment, participants will stop taking the drug or placebo. They will have regular followup visits for up to 6 months after stopping treatment....

This study will assess the efficacy of boceprevir (BOC) in combination with PegIntron (pegylated interferon alfa-2b) (PEG) and ribavirin (RBV) in response guided therapy compared to the efficacy of standard-of-care therapy alone in adult subjects with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype 1 who failed prior treatment with pegylated interferon and RBV in the Asia Pacific population. The primary hypothesis is that the proportion of participants achieving sustained virologic response in the experimental therapy regimen (BOC/PEG+RBV) is superior to that in the control arm (Placebo/PEG+RBV), in the Full Analysis Set (FAS) population.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity of multiple, ascending doses of ABT-267 (also known as ombitasvir) administered as two-day monotherapy followed by ABT-267 in combination therapy with other direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) ABT-450 with ritonavir (ABT-450/r) and ABT-333 (also known as dasabuvir) plus ribavirin (RBV) in patients with chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection without cirrhosis.

Hepatitis C virus when it leaves the cells in the liver is bound to a type of fat. An component of grapefruit could block this fat and thus lower the amount of virus in the blood stream. We propose that treatment with this ingredient, called naringenin, could be used to block this fat and HCV in persons infected with hepatitis C.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of steady-state concentrations of TMC435 150mg q.d. (once a day) on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of escitalopram 10 mg q.d., and vice versa. Steady state is a term which means that the drug has been given long enough so that the plasma concentrations will remain the same with each subsequent dose. TMC435 is being investigated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Pharmacokinetics (pk) means how the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream, distributed in the body and eliminated from the body.
