221 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a Phase 2b/3 study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of chronic treatment with brelovitug (a.k.a BJT-778; BTG) for chronic hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection. The comparator in this study will be 24-weeks of delayed treatment. During the 24-weeks of delayed treatment, participants will complete the same visits and assessments as those randomized to initiate brelovitug immediately. At the completion of 24-week delayed treatment period, all participants will start treatment with brelovitug.
This is a first-in-human, placebo-controlled, single dose, dose-escalation phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity of a highly potent neutralizing anti-HBV monoclonal antibody (mAb), HepB mAb19, which targets the S-protein in individuals with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) on nucleos(t)ide analog therapy (NRTI).
This study explores how psychosocial factors (e.g., chronic stress, depression) may lead to liver disease progression such as liver cirrhosis or liver cancer among Korean American chronic hepatitis B infection patients. Gathering health information over time from Korean Americans with chronic hepatitis B infection may help doctors find better methods of treatment and on-going care.
This is a randomized, open label, multicenter Phase 2 study investigating the safety and antiviral activity of AB-729 in combination with ongoing NA therapy and short courses of Peg-IFNα-2a in subjects with CHB.
This study will explore the safety and antiviral activity of ABI-H0731 when added to a nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NrtI) in participants who are partially virologically suppressed.
The purpose of this study is to determine if ABI-H0731 given in combination with a standard of care (SOC) hepatitis B virus (HBV) nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NUC) medication is safe and effective in participants with chronic hepatitis B virus infection (cHBV).
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and efficacy of oral MK-5172 (a fixed dose combination \[FDC\] tablet containing elbasvir \[EBR\] 50 mg and grazoprevir \[GZR\] 100 mg) and EBR/GZR (varying doses) pediatric granules in pediatric hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected participants who are 3 to \<18 years of age. Within each age cohort (Cohort 1: 12 to \<18 years of age; Cohort 2: 7 to \<12 years of age; and Cohort 3: 3 to \<7 years of age), a Mini Cohort of 7 participants will be enrolled first. For the oldest cohort (Cohort 1), the Mini Cohort will assess ability to swallow a placebo tablet prior to administering active FDC tablets; participants in Cohorts 2 and 3 will take pediatric granules instead of a tablet.
Background: Treatment of some diseases can suppress the immune system. This can cause other conditions to reactivate. Recent cases have shown that hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivates in people who had already recovered from it during treatment for chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Their treatment was direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents. Researchers want to see how common this reactivation is. They want to learn what the effects are. They will study data that have already been collected. Objectives: To study HBV reactivation in people with CHC and resolved HBV infection who are being treated with interferon-free DAA-based therapy. Eligibility: Data were collected from adults 18 and older in studies that were done in 2012 and 2016. Design: Researchers will screen the records from the previous studies. They will identify participants who had HBV infection before they got DAA-based treatment. Researchers will take data from those records. This will include data on: * Age, sex, race, and ethnicity * Treatment and disease status * Lab results Researchers will test stored samples. They will test samples that were taken before, during, and after treatment. They will check if HBV was reactivated. They will also check if other clinical outcomes occurred.
Incorporating Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) treatment into opioid maintenance treatment program clinical protocols is an innovative health care delivery model that has been associated with improved HCV treatment uptake in non-pregnant, drug-using populations. This "medical home" approach would combine HCV and opioid maintenance treatment into one treatment regimen and incorporate the expertise of obstetricians, hepatologists, substance abuse treatment providers and pediatricians into one comprehensive clinical care model. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility/acceptability of a combined, peripartum HCV and opioid maintenance treatment program on adherence to HCV treatment regimens and evaluate the rate of intravenous drug use (IVDU) recidivism, HCV reinfection and health related Quality of Life (QOL) in women with opioid use disorder (OUD) during the first postpartum year. The protocol involves three separate study phases. All 3 study phases will occur with support from hepatology providers at Magee-Womens Hospital. Phase 1 involves screening, enrollment and a baseline assessment of liver function, HCV infection (genotype, viral load) and blood and urine studies in HCV-infected patients during pregnancy. In Phase 2, subjects will undergo 12 weeks of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir therapy initiated at 2 weeks postpartum. Feasibility/acceptability and adherence to sofosbuvir/velpatasvir will be assessed at 4, 8 and 12 weeks of therapy. In Phase 3, subjects will continue to be followed for 15 months after treatment completion. Treatment effectiveness and sustained virologic response (SVR) will be evaluated at 3 months and rates of IVDU recidivism, HCV reinfection and patient centered outcomes such as health related quality of life (QOL) will be assessed at 6, 9 and 12 months following treatment completion.
This Registry will enroll adolescent and pediatric participants who received at least one Gilead Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) direct acting antiviral (DAA) while participating in a Gilead-sponsored chronic hepatitis C clinical trial. The primary objective of this Registry is to determine the long-term safety of anti-HCV regimens in the pediatric population. Secondary objectives of this Registry are to determine whether subsequent detection of HCV RNA in participants who relapse following sustained virologic response (SVR) represents the re-emergence of pre-existing virus, the development of resistance mutations, or whether it is due to re-infection, and to characterize resistance mutations and the persistence of resistance mutations in pediatric participants who did not achieve SVR. Once enrolled, participants will be followed for up to 5 years.
The primary objective of this registry study is to assess the durability of sustained virologic response (SVR) and clinical progression or regression of liver disease including the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma following SVR in participants with cirrhosis after treatment with a sofosbuvir-based regimen for HCV infection.
This study will evaluate the long term effects of hepatitis B virus (HBV) treatment on the HBV serologic changes and HBV DNA levels through Week 144. This registry will enroll only individuals who were treated in a Gilead-sponsored trial for chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
To assess the pharmacokenetic characteristics of 600 mg BID BI 207127 / 120 mg QD faldaprevir /ribavirin in a small number of GT1b HCV infected patients with mild hepatic impairment (CPA) (Arm 1) versus 400 mg BID BI 207127 / 120 mg QD faldaprevir /ribavirin in a small number of GT1b HCV infected patients with moderate hepatic impairment (CPB) (Arm 2).
Background: - GS-7977, GS-5885, GS-9669, and GS-9451 are new drugs for treating hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. GS-7977 may help treat the infection when used with other treatments like interferon therapy. GS-5885, and GS-9669, and GS-9451 also lower the amount of HCV in the body. Researchers want to see whether GS-7977 can be combined with any of the other three drugs to treat HCV infection. Some participants will take GS-7977 and GS-5885. Others will take GS-7977, GS-5885 and GS-9669 or GS-7977, GS-5885 and GS-9451. Objectives: - To see whether GS-7977 with GS-5885 alone or in combination with either GS-9669 or 9451 can be used to treat HCV infection. Eligibility: Individuals at least 18 years of age who have chronic HCV infection and have never been treated for it. Individuals at least 18 years of age who have chronic HCV infection and have not responded to interferon therapy. Individuals at least 18 years of age who have chronic HCV infection with advanced liver disease and have never been treated for HCV Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood samples will be collected. A liver biopsy may also be performed. Some participants will take the two study drugs and some will take three study drugs. Those who take GS-7977 and GS-5885 will have one daily tablet named fixed dose combination or FDC. Those who take GS-7977 and CS-9669 will have three daily tablets taken once daily. Those who take GS-7977 and GS-5885 and GS-9451 will take 2 pills once a day. GS-7977 and GS-5885 will be combined in one pill and GS-9451 will be in another pill. Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests. These tests will check liver function and the level of HCV infection. Participants may have other blood tests as needed for treatment. Participants will have 4, 6 or 12 weeks of treatment depending on which study drugs are scheduled to take. After they complete their schedule, they will stop treatment with the study drugs. They may also have another liver biopsy. Participants will have regular follow-up visits over the next 48 weeks. They will have physical exams and provide blood samples....
The purpose of this observational study is to compare two approved treatment regimen(s) containing boceprevir and telaprevir, as part of standard of care for the treatment of hepatitis C.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the antiviral efficacy of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF; TDF) versus placebo in pediatric population (aged 2 to \< 12 years at the time of enrollment) with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection.
This study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of multiple interferon-free treatment regimens of sofosbuvir (Sovaldi™; GS-7977; PSI-7977) and GS-0938 (PSI-352938) alone and in combination, with and without ribavirin (RBV). Each regimen was to be evaluated over 12 and 24 weeks to identify the optimal duration of therapy to maximize the benefit (sustained virologic response \[SVR\]) versus risk (safety and resistance).
To identify a shorter duration of antiviral therapy (12 or 16 weeks) for the combination of daclatasvir with pegylated interferon alfa-2a and ribavirin.
The purpose of this study is to assess antiviral activity when administered alone for 3 days or in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin for 12 weeks. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of treatment with VCH-222 when given alone or in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin. The study will also evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of VCH-222 in HCV infected subjects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antiviral activity and safety of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in Asian-American adults (self-reported Asian descent, living in the United States) with chronic hepatitis B infection. All participants will receive active treatment with TDF for 48 weeks.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in adolescents (aged 12-17 years) with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The optimal treatment for adolescents with chronic HBV infection is currently unknown. Treatment with interferon alfa, lamivudine, and adefovir dipivoxil in pediatric populations has been shown to be less than optimal. Further, the safety and efficacy of entecavir and telbivudine have not been established in patients \< 16 years of age. A study evaluating TDF in adolescents (ages 12-17) was needed to assess the safety and efficacy of this agent in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in this patient population. In addition, the study will help to further elucidate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and resistance profiles of TDF. Through their participation, study participants will help generate critical new information to help guide the most optimal treatment of chronic HBV infection in adolescents. This is a randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of TDF versus placebo in adolescents with chronic HBV infection. TDF treatment-naive participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to TDF or placebo. After 72 weeks of blinded treatment, participants were to switch to open-label TDF for an additional 2.5 years of treatment, provided that no safety concerns are identified by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee monitoring the study.
The GI-5005 therapeutic vaccine in combination with standard of care or standard of care alone will be injected under the skin of HCV subjects. Patients will be monitored for safety, immune responses and any therapeutic benefits related to the injections including EVR, ETR, and SVR.
Hepatitis C virus infection is the most common blood-borne infection in the United States and is a leading cause of chronic liver disease affecting 130 million people around the world. It is estimated that 1.6% of the US population may be affected by Hepatitis C infection. The only recommended treatment that has been approved for your condition is the use of interferon and ribavirin. In patients with chronic Hepatitis C, there tends to be an accumulation of fat in the liver. Fatty liver has been associated with failure of treatment. The accumulation of fat in the liver has been blamed on a particular type of fat called triglycerides. Fish oil, by reducing a type of fat called VLDL, can lower the triglyceride concentration by as much as 50 percent or more. This study seeks to determine if the administration of fish oil along with standard treatment to patients with Hepatitis C will increase the treatment response rates.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and antiviral activity of multiple doses of ACH-0137171 in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
