Safety and Efficacy of Boceprevir in Combination With Peginterferon Alfa-2b Plus Ribavirin for Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 1 in Russia: Previously Untreated Patients and Patients Who Failed Prior Treatment With Pegylated-Interferon Plus Ribavirin
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Boceprevir, Placebo, and 2 other interventions for Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 1. Completed, enrolled 238 participants.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Boceprevir (BOC, SCH 503034, MK-3034) in combination with Peginterferon Alfa 2-b (PEG) plus Ribavirin (RBV) \[PEG+RBV=PR\] is effective in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype 1 among the Russian population. The primary hypothesis is that the percentage of participants achieving sustained virologic response in the BOC + PR group is superior to that in the Placebo (PBO) + PR group.
