Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist
Semaglutide for Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis
This trial is studying a medication called semaglutide in patients with NASH. Semaglutide is a well-known medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, and participants will either receive semaglutide or a dummy medication, with no way of knowing which they're getting. The study will last for 5 years, during which participants will have to inject themselves weekly and will have 21 clinic visits and 9 phone calls with clinical staff. Some of the clinic visits may last more than one day.
Phase 3 Trials
Antiviral
HCV-Positive Organ Transplant Safety
This trial will test if it's safe to transplant organs from donors with HCV to recipients who don't have HCV. The recipient will take medication before and after the transplant. If successful, this could provide a large number of organs for transplant.
Monoclonal Antibodies
VAY736 for Advanced Cancer
This trial is testing a new medication called VAY736 to help adults with autoimmune hepatitis who haven't responded to or can't tolerate standard treatments. The goal is to see if VAY736 can reduce liver inflammation and improve liver function.
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor
Antiviral Therapy for Hepatitis B Transmission Prevention
This trial tests antiviral drugs to prevent hepatitis B transmission from mothers to babies. It focuses on high-risk pregnant women and their newborns in Africa. The drugs lower virus levels in mothers and protect babies until they are vaccinated. One of the drugs, Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), has been studied for its ability to prevent the spread of hepatitis B from mothers to their babies.
Trials With No Placebo
Antiviral
HCV-Positive Organ Transplant Safety
This trial will test if it's safe to transplant organs from donors with HCV to recipients who don't have HCV. The recipient will take medication before and after the transplant. If successful, this could provide a large number of organs for transplant.
Hepatitis C Positive Liver Transplants for Liver Transplant Recipients
This trial is testing the safety and efficacy of transplanting livers from donors who are either positive or negative for the Hepatitis C virus. Treatment and prophylaxis will be administered to the recipients based on the donor's status.
Antiviral
Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir for Kidney Transplant Recipients
This trial is testing the safety and efficacy of transplanting kidneys from donors who are either hepatitis C seropositive and non-viremic, or seropositive and viremic, to recipients who are seronegative. Treatment and prophylaxis will be administered using a transmission-triggered approach for the first scenario and a prophylaxis approach for the later scenario.
Direct Acting Antiviral Agent
Epclusa for Chronic Hepatitis C
This trial will study why some people still have liver complications after being cured of hepatitis C. Eligible participants will have different tests and some will take medication for 12 weeks. Then they will have follow-up visits for up to 10 years.
Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir for Heart Transplant
This trial is testing the safety and efficacy of transplanting hearts from HCV seropositive non-viremic and HCV seropositive viremic donors to HCV seronegative recipients. Treatment and prophylaxis will be used to prevent HCV transmission.
