Avatar m tn very interesting trial, although on hbv ezetimibe might be weaker.for those not aware of ezetimibe studies Ezetimibe blocks hepatitis B virus infection after virus uptake into hepatocytes. http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Hepatitis-B/Ezetimibe-blocks-hepatitis-B-virus-infection-after-virus-uptake-into-hepatocytes-/show/1868002 The efficacy of ezetimibe add-on with combination peginterferon plus ribavirin therapy in patients with HVC http://astp.jst.go.
Avatar n tn 5 He says I can monitor for now or start treatment if I want to, but there is no urgency, Nevertheless, he brought up the topic of being part of a trial of two peg-interferon, which he called peg-intf 2A and 2B. I cannot remember all the details, but briefly, one is by Roche and the other by Merck. Sounded like trial to compare efficacy. The accepted participants will either receive 2A or 2B for 1 year with regular doctor monitoring.
Avatar m tn no study for its activity on hbv, we do know it has activity but the trial has never started simvastatin lowers hcc 50% and prevents fibrosis/cirrhosis so it is indicated on all hbver, this has thousands of pateints studied for decades to find this data on hcc you better use simvastatin instead other statins, also ezetimibe has in vitro effect on hbv so these are the best choices on hbvers
Avatar m tn also statins like simvastatin were reported to boost response a little but better not mix 2 statins, in a report researchers of ezetimibe effect on hbv and hcv suggested the use of ezetimibe with interferon but without simvastin ezetimibe dose is 10-20mg daily but human trials with dose 50mg daily for a limited time did not find any sides or toxicity
Avatar m tn There was an in vitro study on ezetimibe inhibiting HBV DNA production. The ed50 was fairly low and in a similar range as lamuvidine. So it looked very interesting. But in an in vitro study you have a constant exposure to the drug, which is impossible to achieve in vivo. And the cells used are not the same as regular hepatocytes in human liver, with many differences in gene expression and cellular physiology.
Avatar m tn The FDA-approved drug ezetimibe (sold under the trade-name Zetia) is readily available and perfectly targeted to the receptor, Sainz said, so the researchers had an ideal method for testing NPC1L1's involvement in HCV infection. The researchers showed that ezetimibe inhibited HCV infection in cell culture and in mice transplanted with human liver cells. And, unlike any currently available drugs, ezetimibe was able to inhibit infection by all six types of HCV.
Avatar m tn it has no such effects, a trial made in italy found it helps immune system turn hbeag to negative but the trial was very small so i dont think t has any effect really it lowers oxidative stress and helps clear fatty liver together with omega 3 fish oil.
Avatar n tn You could consider going for a higher dose of Lipitor, another way to go is to consider taking a drug that limits cholesterol absorption such as Ezetimibe. There is a combination drug Simvastatin and ezetimibe that may be better in controlling cholesterol. Discuss these drugs with your doctor. Best of luck to you. Stay positive.
Avatar m tn as what they told me, so if your immune system is weak the hepa b virus will become stronger, but if your immune system is enhance it can fight the virus and it will be cleared easily.
Avatar n tn You need a trial of testosterone replacement therapy. It does not matter what your testosterone "levels" as this tells you nothing.
Avatar m tn s Be careful what you say about the trial on public forums. I was told with the vertex trial not to talk about it on the interent or anyone for that matter. I have said very little because I do not want chancing getting thrown out.
1765684 tn?1333819168 Furthermore, there is growing evidence that even mildly increased (or sometimes even normal amounts of iron) may cause or enhance the amount of injury to the liver in the presence of other liver diseases. This applies especially to people with alcoholic liver disease and chronic hepatitis C. In fact, iron overload is commonly seen in patients with alcoholic liver disease and chronic hepatitis C, and has been found to worsen prognosis, and to decrease the responsiveness to treatment.

29837 tn?1414534648 htm Vertex Begins Study of 2 Oral HCV Drugs Telaprevir + VX-222 Vertex Broadens its Commitment to Improving HCV Care with Clinical Trial to Evaluate Combination Regimens Based on Oral Antiviral Therapies -Trial will evaluate safety and SVR rates with multiple 12-week response-guided regimens of telaprevir/VX-222-based combination therapy, including two-drug regimens of telaprevir and VX-222- CAMBRIDGE, Mass.
Avatar f tn How were you able to get into a trial? Were you treatment naive? Or had you previously failed a treatment with Peg-Ifn? I can't get into a trial because I don't fall into either category. Had prior treatment with just plain interferon and ribavirin. Arghhhh.
Avatar m tn FR0012333284 – ABVX), an innovative company developing anti-viral therapies and immunotherapeutics for infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS, chronic hepatitis B (CHB), chikungunya, ebola as well as an adjuvant to enhance the immune response, today announced that a futility analysis on the primary end-point of its ABX203-002 trial, a Phase IIb/III trial of ABX203 in CHB patients, determined that the trial is unlikely to reach its primary endpoint.
