About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Chronic Hepatitis C Virus

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 70 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects must have genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and laboratory evidence of HCV infection for at least 6 months before the Screening Visit
  • Subjects will be treatment naïve
  • Subjects must have documentation of the presence or absence of cirrhosis

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History or other clinical evidence of significant or unstable cardiac disease
  • Evidence of hepatic decompensation
  • Diagnosed or suspected hepatocellular carcinoma
  • Any other cause of significant liver disease in addition to hepatitis C, which may include but is not limited to malignancy with hepatic involvement, hepatitis B, drug-or alcohol-related cirrhosis, autoimmune hepatitis, hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or primary biliary cirrhosis
  • History of organ transplant, with the exception of corneal transplants and skin grafts

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The proportion of subjects who have a sustained viral response (SVR) at 12 weeks after the last planned dose of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

The safety and tolerability as assessed by adverse events (AEs), vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), and laboratory assessments (serum chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis)
The proportion of subjects who have an SVR 24 weeks after the last planned dose of the study drug
The proportion of subjects who have an SVR 4 weeks after the last planned dose of the study drug
The proportion of subjects who relapse (i.e., who had <lower limit of quantitation LLOQ hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA at the end of planned study drug treatment (planned EOT) followed by ≥LLOQ HCV RNA after planned EOT)
The proportion of subjects who achieve undetectable HCV RNA (below the lower limit of detection (< (LLOQ) undetectable) at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 after the first dose of study drug, and <LLOQ at the end of planned study drug treatment (planned EOT)
Time to achieve <LLOQ undetectable HCV RNA
The proportion of subjects who have on-treatment virologic failure defined as subjects who either have viral breakthrough or who complete the assigned treatment and have ≥LLOQ HCV RNA at the end of study drug treatment (EOT)
The association of the interleukin-28B (IL-28B) genotype (CC versus CT versus TT) with SVR12
The amino acid sequence of the nonstructural (NS)3/4A and NS5B proteins in subjects who have treatment failure
