Clinical Trial Summary

Chronic hepatitis C infection (HCV) is a disease that affects worldwide about 170 million people. The previous standard of care therapy of chronic HCV patients consists of pegylated-IFN-α combined with ribavirin, and results in sustained clearance of HCV-RNA in only about 50% of the HCV genotype 1 infected patients. Telaprevir, a NS3A-4A inhibitor, has previously proven to offer therapeutic options to previous non-responders to the standard of care. Although, not all chronic HCV patients benefit from telaprevir and it is still not known why certain patients are also non-responsive to this triple therapy. In this study we try to understand why certain patients are also non-responsive to telaprevir, how triple therapy modulates the responsiveness to IFN-α and what the immunological consequences are of treatment with telaprevir, either directly or as a result of telaprevir-induced reduction of HCV-RNA levels.
