A Safety and Effectiveness Study of TMC435 in Chronic, Genotype 1, Hepatitis C Patients Who Failed to Previous Standard Treatment — ASPIRE

Hepatitis C Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Phase IIb, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Investigate the Efficacy, Tolerability, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of TMC435 as Part of a Treatment Regimen Including PegIFNa-2a and Ribavirin in HCV Genotype 1 Infected Subjects Who Failed Previous Standard Therapy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy, safety and tolerability of different regimens of TMC435 with standard treatment compared to standard treatment alone in participants with chronic, genotype 1, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who has failed previous treatment with pegylated interferon (Peg-INF-alfa-2a) and ribavirin (RBV).

Clinical Trial Description

The study is a randomized (study drug assigned by chance), double-blind (neither physician nor participant knows the name of the assigned drug), placebo-controlled Phase IIb trial with TMC435 in participants with chronic, genotype 1, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who have failed standard treatment with pegylated interferon (Peg-INF-alfa-2a) and ribavirin (RBV). The study will compare the efficacy, tolerability and safety of different regimens with TMC435 combined with standard treatment (Peg-INF-alfa-2a and RBV) versus standard treatment alone. The trial will consist of a screening period of maximum 6 weeks, a 48-week treatment period, and a 24-week follow-up period. Participants will be eligible to enroll in the trial if they failed to respond to a prior course of standard treatment or relapsed following standard treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive TMC435 with standard treatment for 12 weeks followed by standard treatment (plus placebo) for 36 weeks, TMC435 (100 mg or 150 mg once a day) with standard treatment for 24 weeks followed by standard treatment (plus placebo) for 24 weeks, TMC435 (100 mg or 150 mg once a day) with standard treatment for 48 weeks, or a placebo with standard treatment for 48 weeks. ;

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.
