#0810010040: Intrahepatic HCV RNA and Telaprevir Kinetics in Hepatitis C Virus Infection: A Study of Telaprevir in Combination With Peginterferon Alfa-2a (Pegasys®) and Ribavirin (Copegus®) in Subjects With Hepatitis C
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Telaprevir, Peginterferon alfa-2a, and 1 other intervention for Hepatitis C. Completed, enrolled 15 participants.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the decline of virus in the blood and liver in patients treated with telaprevir, pegylated interferon and ribavirin. Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) procedure will be used to repeatedly sample the liver to enhance the understanding of how the virus decays in the liver in response to treatment with anti-viral compounds and the measurement of the concentration of the drugs in the liver. FNA is an alternative procedure to core needle biopsy in its ability to repeatedly sample the liver with significantly reduced morbidity.
