Hepatitits C Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Phase 2 Open-Label Study in Patients With Recurrent Genotype 1 Hepatitis C Post-Orthotopic Liver Transplant to Explore the Safety And Efficacy of Simeprevir and Sofosbuvir With and Without Ribavirin
The purpose of this study is to evaluate sustained virologic response 12 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR12) following 12 weeks of simeprevir plus sofosbuvir with and without ribavirin (RBV) and 24 weeks of simeprevir plus sofosbuvir without RBV in post orthotopic liver transplant participants with recurrent hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) C virus (HCV) Genotype 1 infection.
This is a Phase 2, multicenter (when more than one hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study), partially randomized (study drug is assigned by chance), and open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention) study to explore the safety and efficacy of simeprevir plus sofosbuvir. The study will consist of a screening period (Screening and Baseline), followed by randomization. First 33 non-cirrhotic participants will be randomly assigned in a ratio of 1:1:1 into 1 of 3 treatment arms, and up to 12 cirrhotic participants will be enrolled and all will be assigned to Arm 3. All participants in treatment Arms 1 and 2 will return for treatment visits at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and post-treatment follow-up visits on Weeks 16 and 24. All participants in treatment Arm 3 will return for treatment visits at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24, and post-treatment follow-up visits on Weeks 28 and 36. Participants will receive simeprevir plus sofosbuvir and RBV for a 12-week treatment period in Arm 1, simeprevir plus sofosbuvir without RBV for a 12-week treatment period in Arm 2 and simeprevir plus sofosbuvir for a 24-week treatment period in Arm 3. Efficacy will primarily be evaluated by SVR12. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study. ;
