Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ombitasvir (OBV)/paritaprevir (PTV)/ritonavir (r) with sofosbuvir (SOF) with or without ribavirin (RBV) in adults with Genotype 2 Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection or Genotype 3 HCV infection with or without Cirrhosis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of MK-1075, and to determine the ability of MK-1075 to reduce HCV viral load, following administration of a single dose in HCV-infected participants.

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed dose combination (FDC) with or without ribavirin (RBV) in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

Background: - Chronic hepatitis C is a serious liver disease. Current treatments have side effects. New drugs have been developed, but they work better in some people than others. Researchers want to learn why. Objective: - To learn why new hepatitis C drugs sometimes do not work. Also, to learn if these drugs are safe and how well they work in people with different virus strains. Eligibility: - Adults age 18 and older who are infected with hepatitis C virus genotypes 1-4 and who have either never been treated or treated previously with an interferon regimen (with or without ribavirin) that failed to clear the virus. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history and physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests and complete questionnaires. Participants will have a Fibroscan, an ultrasound that measures liver stiffness and other liver scans. They will have an electrocardiogram. Eligible participants will have a liver biopsy. Participants will be admitted to the Clinical Center. They will have a physical exam and blood tests, and complete questionnaires. They will take the first study drug dose as a tablet taken once daily. Participants will take the drug at home for 12 weeks. Participants will have 6 study visits. They will have blood and vital signs taken, and complete questionnaires. At week 4, participants will have another liver biopsy. After their last drug dose, participants will have 5 follow-up visits. They will have blood and vital signs taken, and complete questionnaires. They will discuss their medications and side effects. They may have another Fibroscan.

The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and the SVR12 rate of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir with RBV in GT1-infected participants with decompensated cirrhosis.

The purpose of this study is to study the safety and tolerability of synthetic PreImplantation Factor (sPIF) in female patients with autoimmune hepatitis. Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease where the patient's immune system produces an inappropriate immune response against their own liver. PreImplantation Factor is a substance that is secreted by viable fetuses during pregnancy. PIF apparently initiates both maternal tolerance preventing the loss/rejection of the fetus. Synthetic PIF (sPIF) successfully translates PIF endogenous properties to pregnant and non-pregnant immune disorders. sPIF was found to be effective in preclinical models of autoimmunity and transplantation (published). Specifically sPIF protected the liver against immune attack. Toxicity studies (mice, dogs) have shown that high-dose sPIF administration for 2 weeks followed by 2 weeks observation period demonstrated a high safety profile. This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and the blood level of this synthetic version of this natural compound in the circulation.

REP 2139-Ca is nucleic acid polymer. Nucleic acid polymers have been previously shown to clear serum hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) both preclinically (in duck HBV infected ducks) and in human patients and to act synergistically with immunotherapeutic agents such as pegylated interferon-alpha 2a or thymosin alpha-1 to restore host immunological control of HBV infection. HBsAg is an essential component of the hepatitis D virus (HDV), therefore the direct action of REP 2139-Ca in removing serum HBsAg and its synergistic effect with pegylated interferon-alpha 2a is expected to have a significant antiviral effect against HDV infection. This study will examine the safety and efficacy of REP 2139-Ca therapy when used in combination with pegylated interferon alpha-2a in patients with HBV / HDV co-infection. The primary hypothesis to be tested is that this combined dosing regimen is safe and well tolerated in patients with HBV / HDV co-infection which will be assessed by examining the number of patients with adverse events (including reported symptoms and laboratory abnormalities). The secondary hypothesis to be tested is that this combined dosing regimen will have an antiviral effect against HBV / HDV co-infection in these patients which will be assessed by examining the following outcomes: The number of patients with reductions in serum HBsAg. The number of patients with reductions in serum HDAg and HDV RNA The number of patients that experience a sustained antiviral response after treatment is stopped (reductions in serum HBV DNA and HDV RNA). The secondary hypothesis to be tested is that this combination approach can have an effective

Camel milk as the new modality for treatment of chronic hepatitis C. The purpose of this study is to evaluate effectiveness and safety of camel milk in combination with Peginterferon Alfa-2a and Ribavirin in genotype 2,3 chronic hepatitis C virus .

This was a multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir co-administered with ribavirin (RBV) for 12 weeks in treatment naïve and pegylated-interferon alfa-2a or alfa-2b (pegIFN)/RBV treatment-experienced, cirrhotic HCV genotype 1b-infected adults.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of a 12- or 24-week treatment regimen of simeprevir in combination with daclatasvir, as measured by sustain virologic response 12 (SVR12), in treatment-naive, chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b-infected participants who have advanced fibrosis or compensated cirrhosis (METAVIR F3/F4).
