Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Hepatitis | Drug: Peg-interféron alpha 2a + ribavirin | Phase 2 |
In patients HIV infected, the success rate do not exceed 20% in genotype 1 or 4 patients. In case of treatment failure , patients are rarely re-treated, and liver fibrosis progresses rapidly. The new molecules are not yet available for patients co-infected with HIV, and patients having already undergone a first treatment will likely be among the last to be included in trials evaluating the effectiveness of these treatments.
However, recent studies show that it is possible to propose a new treatment "optimized" to these patients in the hope to obtain better success rate. Provide antiretroviral treatment, use of high doses of Peg-interferon and ribavrine, and supporting patients.

Pilot study, multicenter, open label
|
- Study the proportion of patients co-infected HIV-HCV, non-responders to treatment for HCV (genotype 1 and 4), with a sustained virological response (6 months after stopping treatment (W72 or W96)) at a re-optimized treatment of hepatitis C. [ Time Frame: W72 or W96 (depending of the end of treatment) ]
- Analyze rapid virological response (W4) and early (W12). [ Time Frame: W4 and W12 ]
