Telaprevir, Peg-IFN-alfa-2a, and RBV in Treatment-Experienced Black/African American and Non-Black/African American Subjects With Genotype 1 Chronic Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C Clinical Trial

Official title:
An Open-Label, Phase 4 Study of Telaprevir, Peginterferon Alfa-2a (Pegasys®), and Ribavirin (Copegus®) in Treatment-Experienced Black/African American and Non-Black/African American Subjects With Genotype 1 Chronic Hepatitis C Who Have Not Achieved a Sustained Viral Response With a Prior Course of Interferon-Based Therapy

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of telaprevir in combination with pegylated interferon alfa 2a (Peg-IFN-alfa-2a) and ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-experienced Black/African American and non-Black/African American participants with Genotype 1 Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC), who have not achieved a sustained viral response with a prior course of interferon-based therapy.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter study of treatment-experienced participants with Genotype 1 CHC, who self-identified as Black/African American (Group A) or who did not self-identify as Black/African American (Group B). Participants did not achieve a sustained virologic response 24 weeks after at least 1 prior course of Peg-IFN-alfa-2a/RBV therapy of standard duration, and have 1 of the following viral responses:

- Prior relapse: Participant had a documented undetectable hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) level at the planned end of treatment of at least 42 weeks duration (HCV RNA evaluated anytime between 3 weeks before and 6 weeks after the last dose of Peg IFN-alfa-2a or RBV).

- Prior null response: Participant had a <2-log10 decrease in HCV RNA at 12 weeks, during prior Peg IFN-alfa-2a/RBV treatment, but never achieved undetectable HCV RNA while on treatment.

- Prior partial response: Participant had a >=2-log10 decrease in HCV RNA at 12 weeks, during prior Peg IFN-alfa-2a/RBV treatment, but never achieved undetectable HCV RNA while on treatment. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
