160 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The goal of this pilot study is to examine both efficacy and tolerability in patients with HCV genotype 1 and mild decompensation with Child-Pugh-Turcott score of 6 or lower. The CPT score is used to assess the prognosis of chronic liver diseases, as well as the required strength and treatment and necessity of liver transplantation. A higher CPT score denotes higher necessity of liver transplantation.
This is an open-label, multi center study of treatment-naive non-cirrhotic subjects with genotype 1 chronic Hepatitis C Virus. All subjects will receive telaprevir (TVR) in combination with sofosbuvir (SOF) for 12 weeks.
Currently, there is no treatment standard for use of anti-HCV (hepatitic C virus) medications for those preparing for a liver transplant. The purpose of this study is to determine whether those individuals who require liver transplantation for Hepatitis C, genotype I, who are undergoing liver transplantation may successfully get rid of their virus before the transplant by taking three medicines, peginterferon, ribavirin, and boceprevir, up until the time of the liver transplant surgery. If successful, the Hepatitis C virus will not re-infect the new liver that they receive and they will not require therapy for Hepatitis C after liver transplantation. This study involves the use of peginterferon alfa-2b, ribavirin, and boceprevir, all of which are approved for the treatment of genotype I Hepatitis C. Hypothesis: The addition of boceprevir to peginterferon alfa-2b and ribavirin in patients with Hepatitis C genotype 1 with or without hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation will lead to rapid HCV RNA clearance of genotype I infected individuals. Transplantation with anhepatic boceprevir will prevent reinfection of the new transplanted graft and prevent graft infection posttransplantation.
This study is for people who have been diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C, specifically those who have a certain type of the virus, genotype 1, and who have not yet received treatment for hepatitis C. This pilot study is designed to test whether the addition of vitamin D, to the three drugs (Incivek (telaprevir), Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a), and ribavirin) that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of hepatitis C, can help eliminate the HCV from the body. Currently, doctors are unsure if the addition of vitamin D to prescribed hepatitis C therapy will have any effects on how the body clears the virus. Once enrolled, participants will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to receive telaprevir + peginterferon alfa-2a + ribavirin + vitamin D3 (treatment group) or telaprevir + peginterferon alfa-2a + ribavirin (control group). A total of 80 participants, of all races/ethnicities, will be included in this study, at 5 to 10 VA hospital study sites (10 - 20 participants/site). Participants assigned to the treatment group will begin a lead-in phase where they will receive 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day. Every two weeks during the lead-in phase, participants will be tested to determine the Vitamin D level in their blood, as well as other tests, including HCV RNA (to determine the amount of virus present) and calcium levels. Once an adequate level of Vitamin D is detected in participants' blood, participants will begin treatment with telaprevir + peginterferon alfa-2a + ribavirin + vitamin D3 (15,000 IU/week) for 12 weeks. Participants randomized to the control group will immediately begin treatment with telaprevir + peginterferon alfa-2a + ribavirin for 12 weeks. At the end of Week 12 the participants' involvement in the study will be complete. Adverse events and effects of vitamin D3 will be obtained by assessing participants' medical history, physical examination, and blood tests at clinic visits. HCV RNA will be assessed at Screening, Day 1, Week 2, 4, 8 and 12.
This prospective observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of two approved pegylated interferon-based direct acting antiviral triple therapies in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an experimental treatment regimen for hepatitis C (HCV). Standard treatment consists of combination therapy with ribavirin, taken by mouth twice a day, and Peginterferon, injected under the skin once a week. Hepatitis C genotypes 2 and 3 have a high success rate with this regimen, while genotype 1 is more difficult to treat. This study will determine if patients with genotype 1 respond better to treatment that uses a higher dose of ribavirin than the standard approved dose of 1,000 to 1,200 mg daily. Patients 18 years of age and older with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 who have not been successfully treated with a standard course of Peginterferon and ribavirin may be eligible for this study. Participants eligible will receive Peginterferon plus twice the standard dose of ribavirin (2,000 to 2,400 mg daily) for 48 weeks. In addition to treatment, all patients receive undergo the following: Before Treatment: * Medical history and physical examination, symptom questionnaires, blood tests, urine collection, chest x-ray, electrocardiogram, liver ultrasound, Fibroscan (ultrasound to measure stiffness of the liver) and pregnancy test for women who are able to have children. * Patients with other medical conditions or special risk factors may have further evaluations before starting treatment. These may include, for example, eye evaluation for patients with diabetes, exercise stress test for people over age 40 or who have risk factors for heart disease and psychiatric evaluation for people who have depression or anxiety disorder. During Treatment * Periodic blood tests to monitor blood counts and viral levels. * Outpatient clinic visits every 4 weeks for the duration of the study for laboratory tests and review of symptoms and treatment side effects. Physical examinations and urine tests are done every 12 weeks. Following Completion of Treatment About 1 1/2 years after starting treatment, subjects are re-evaluated as they were at the start of treatment. ...
The purpose of this study is to further assess the potency of PF-00868554, an HCV polymerase inhibitor, in subjects chronically infected with HCV by evaluating the antiviral activity of PF-00868554 in combination with current standard of care therapy, pegylated interferon-alpha2a (PEGASYS) and ribavirin (COPEGUS).
This 7 arm study will determine the optimal treatment combination, based on efficacy and safety. Patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), genotype 1, will be randomized to one of 7 treatment groups. Groups 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 will receive triple combination treatment with HCV polymerase inhibitor pro-drug (at doses of 500, 1000 or 1500mg po bid) plus PEGASYS (90 or 180 micrograms sc weekly) plus Copegus (1000 or 1200mg po qd) for 24 weeks, followed by 24 weeks of open label Standard of Care (PEGASYS 180 micrograms sc weekly plus Copegus 1000/1200mg po qd). Group 3 will receive HCV polymerase inhibitor pro-drug 500mg po bid plus PEGASYS 180 micrograms sc weekly plus Copegus 1000/1200mg po qd for 24 weeks; after 24 weeks, those achieving a rapid virological response (RVR) will stop all medication, and non-RVR patients will remain on triple combination for an additional 24 weeks. Group 7 will receive standard of care (SOC) for 48 weeks. There will be a 24 week period of treatment-free follow-up for all treatment groups. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
To study the effectiveness and safety of adding Rosiglitazone, an insulin sensitizing agent to people with chronic hepatitis C infection genotype 1 with fatty liver disease, who are being treated with standard therapy. Standard therapy consists of weekly pegylated interferon injections and daily ribavirin pills, whose dosage is weight based. This regimen in genotype 1 patients is effective in only 45% of patients at best. In addition, this therapy must be given for 48 weeks to be effective and has alot of side-effects. One risk factor for a poor response is fatty liver. Rosiglitazone has been shown to be effective in the treatment of patients with fatty liver alone. This study hopes to show that the addition of Rosiglitazone to the standard therapy in genotype 1 patients with fatty liver disease will increase effectiveness of the standard therapy of hepatitis C.
This single arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of PEGASYS (180 micrograms sc weekly) plus ribavirin (1000-1200mg po daily) in treatment-naive Latino patients versus non-Latino Caucasian patients with chronic hepatitis C- genotype 1. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months and the target sample size is 500+ patients.
