We have conducted a multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing two doses of recombinant human a-interferon for efficacy in 60 patients with chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis. The source of infection appeared to be transfusion in 30 patients, intravenous drug abuse in 16 patients and was unknown
Hepatitis C is a major cause of liver disease leading to cirrhosis. Although interferon (IFN) is the only approved therapy, treatment is characterized by low response rates and dose-limiting side effects. We evaluated the addition of thymosin ␣1 (TA1), an immunomodulatory peptide, to the standard tr
Interferon-a therapy leads to HBeAg seroconversion in only one third of patients with chronic hepatitis B. In an attempt to increase the seroconversion rate, we investigated the combination of interferon-a and zidovudine in a subset of patients with presumably low response rates for interferon-a mon
