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 Peginterferon Alfa-2a and Ribavirin In Treatment-Naive Genotype 1 Hepatitis C-Infected Subjects
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating TMC435, Ribavirin (R), and 2 other interventions for Hepatitis C. Completed, enrolled 386 participants across 71 sites in 13 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 4 different regimens of TMC435 in combination with peginterferon alfa-2a (PegIFNα-2a) and ribavirin (RBV), defined as the proportion of patients with sustained virologic response at Week 72 (patients with undetectable plasma HCV RNA \[less than 25 IU per mL undetectable\] at the end of treatment and at Week 72), compared to the control group receiving PegIFN and RBV in combination with TMC435-matched placebo.
