Clinical Trial Summary

1. A maximally tolerated dose of ribavirin can be defined in each patient with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis.

2. Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)and End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)undergoing hemodialysis will be able to tolerate and remain on treatment with peginterferon alfa-2b, the maximally tolerated dose of ribavirin and boceprevir.

3. A significant percentage of patients with chronic HCV and ESRD undergoing hemodialysis can achieve rapid virologic response (RVR), extended virologic response (eRVR) and sustained virologic response (SVR) when treated with peginterferon alfa-2b, the maximally tolerated dose of ribavirin and boceprevir.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients with ESRD will be treated with a dose escalation of ribavirin starting from 200 mg everyday (QD) to a maximal tolerated dose. Peginterferon will then be added. Ribavirin will be dose adjusted as needed. Boceprevir will then be added. Ribavirin will be dose adjusted as needed. Patients will be monitored for eRVR and SVR. The study end-point is eRVR. ;
