Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of PEGASYS® (peginterferon alfa-2a 40KD) plus Robatrol® (ribavirin) combination therapy given for 36 weeks versus 48 weeks on the clearance of HCV viremia 24 weeks after treatment end


Clinical Trial Description

Pegylated interferon plus ribavirin brings a good therapeutic response and curability. However, the adverse effects and sufferings are lots. Response-guided, personalized treatment is current principle. In patients of CHC, GT1 PR treatment for 24 weeks is established in rapid virologic responders (RVR) who have low viral load before treatment. As to patients with RVR but high viral load (HVL), the treatment duration is 48 weeks that is the same as patients with complete early virologic response (cEVR). Is a shorter duration of treatment feasible for those with a good virokinetic response? The ideal treatment duration for patients of chronic hepatitis C, GT-1, high viral load with RVR has had no enough data yet. Is it really necessary to double the treatment duration (48 weeks) for patients of chronic hepatitis C, GT-1, high viral load with RVR? Is 36-week adequate for them? A multicenter trial of INDIV-2 was presented at EASL 2010. They treated CHC patients of naïve GT1 HVL and RVR for 30 weeks and got similarly good SVR as those treated for 48 weeks (85% vs. 82%).

Therefore, investigators design a randomized controlled study to investigate the SVR rates between treatment for 36 weeks and for 48 weeks in patients of CHC, GT1, HVL and RVR. ;
