Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis"

The purpose of this study is to show that the combination of entecavir and tenofovir, is effective and well tolerated in chronic hepatitis B patients who have failed previous treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a human monoclonal antibody against Hepatitis C (MBL-HCV1) is effective in preventing detectable levels of Hepatitis C virus in patients undergoing liver transplantation due to chronic HCV infection. The study will also determine if MBL-HCV1 is effective in delaying or reducing the amount of detectable HCV in patients after transplant.

This randomized, single blind study will compare the antiviral effect of Pegasys (pegylated interferon alfa-2a) plus placebo versus Pegasys plus tenofovir in patients with chronic hepatitis D. Patients will be randomized to receive 96 weeks of therapy with Pegasys (180 micrograms sc weekly) plus either placebo (orally daily) or tenofovir (245mg orally daily). Anticipated time on study treatment is 2+ years, target sample size is <50.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of telaprevir on the results of electrocardiograms in healthy volunteers. An electrocardiogram is an electric recording of the heart. Telaprevir is being investigated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection.

The primary objective of this protocol is to study the effect of the standard of care in hepatitis C (pegylated interferon and ribavirin) associated with therapeutic vaccine TG4040 on the viral load of treatment-naïve patients with chronic genotype 1 hepatitis C infection.

The purpose of this research study is to find out the effect of the investigational drug NOV-205 on the level of hepatitis C virus in the blood and whether NOV-205 is well-tolerated at different doses when taken by subjects with hepatitis C.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Adefovir Dipivoxil is effective and safe in treatment of Chinese Patients with HBeAg positive Chronic Hepatitis B for 5 years.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of 12 weeks of treatment with telbivudine 600 mg daily plus tenofovir DF 300 mg one daily (OD) taken together vs. tenofovir DF 300 mg once daily (QD) or vs telbivudine 600 mg monotherapy daily (QD). This is an open labeled, active controlled, viral kinetics study which means the subjects and study doctor will know what study drug subjects have been assigned. This study is open to male and female subjects, <40 years of age, who have been infected with HBV for at least 6 months and have not received oral treatment for HBV.

To determine safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of escalating doses of SD-101 alone and SD-101 plus ribavirin in subjects with chronic hepatitis C and no prior therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of cyclosporine, an anti-rejection drug, on the clearance of the hepatitis C virus in liver transplant subjects being treated with peg-interferon and ribavirin.
