Hepatitis C, Chronic Clinical Trial
— SUPPORTOfficial title:
Quality Assurance of HCV-therapy With PegIntron® Plus Rebetol® in Drug-substituted Patients - SUPPORT Project Post-Marketing Surveillance Study
Previous intravenous drug abusers with chronic hepatitis C who are under substitution therapy (buprenorphine, methadone) will be treated with PegIntron and Rebetol according to the approved European labeling. The study will assess the tolerability, safety and efficacy of the treatment with PegIntron plus Rebetol in this study population. The objective of the study is to collect data on the prevalence of the hepatitis C infections in drug-substituted patients. The study will also compare the feasibility of HCV (Hepatitis C Virus) treatment in patients receiving Subutex® vs other drug substitution pharmacotherapies.

Primary | Number of Drug-substituted Participants Who Achieved Sustained Virological Response (SVR) With PegIntron 1.5 µg/kg/Week and Rebetol (10.6 mg/kg/Day) in Substitution Centers Under Routine Conditions | Participants who achieved SVR (sustained virological response) at the end of treatment (24 weeks for genotypes 2,3 and 48 weeks for genotypes 1,4) were analyzed for sustained response at the end of the follow-up period (24 weeks after end of treatment). SVR is defined as having negative HCV-RNA (hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid). | End of Follow-up (Week 48 or Week 72, depending on genotype) | No |
Primary | Number of Participants Who Tolerated Treatment With PegIntron 1.5 mcg/kg/Week + Rebetol 10.6 mg/kg/Week | Tolerability of the treatment was measured by number of participants with complete treatment. | Assessed at the end of treatment | No |
