Boceprevir Treatment in Participants With Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 1 Deemed Nonresponders to Peginterferon/Ribavirin (P05514) (PROVIDE)

January 15, 2021 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

A Single-Arm Study to Provide Boceprevir Treatment in Subjects With Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 1 Deemed Nonresponders to Peginterferon/Ribavirin in Previous Schering-Plough Boceprevir Studies

This is a single-arm, multicenter study of boceprevir (BOC) in combination with peginterferon plus ribavirin (PEG/RBV) in adult chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype 1 participants who completed their per-protocol defined treatment and did not achieve sustained viral response (SVR) while in the PEG/RBV control arm(s) of an Schering-Plough Research Institute (SPRI) study of BOC combination therapy. Participants who are able to enroll in this study within 2 weeks after the last dose of PEG/RBV in previous protocol are to receive BOC+ PEG/RBV for up to 44 weeks followed by 24 weeks post-treatment follow-up. Participants who are not able to enroll in this study within 2 weeks after the last dose of PEG/RBV in previous protocol are to receive PEG/RBV for 4 weeks followed by BOC+ PEG/RBV for up to 44 weeks, with 24 weeks post-treatment follow-up.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • All participant exclusion criteria from the SPRI clinical study in which the participant participated prior to qualifying for this study will apply in this study, EXCEPT for the following:

    • Treatment with RBV within 90 days and any interferon-alpha within 1 month of the enrollment is not exclusionary in P05514.
    • Participation in any other SPRI clinical trial within 30 days of enrollment in this study is not exclusionary.
    • Use of growth factor at the entry of the study is allowed if it was prescribed in the previous study.
    • Laboratory criteria of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) do not apply. Laboratory criteria of hemoglobin, neutrophils, and platelets do not apply, unless they met dose reduction/interruption/discontinuation criteria in the previous study.
    • Participants who develop moderate depression in the previous study and continue to be stable and well controlled are not excluded
  • Participants who had the opportunity to receive boceprevir in the previous study.
  • Participants requiring discontinuation, interruption, or dose reduction of RBV for more than 2 weeks in the previous study.
  • Participants requiring discontinuation, interruption, or dose reduction of PEG to less than two-thirds of the assigned starting dose for more than 2 weeks in the previous study.
  • Participants who experienced a life-threatening SAE considered at least possibly related to study drugs by the investigator or sponsor in the previous study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response at Follow-Up Week 24 (SVR24);
Time Frame: From start of 4-week PEG/RBV lead-in therapy or 44-week BOC/PR treatment through Follow-Up Week (FW) 24 (up to 68 weeks)
SVR24 was defined as undetectable Hepatitis C Virus ribonucleic acid (HCV-RNA) at Follow-up Week (FW) 24. SVR rates were evaluated by the prior interferon response (e.g., log drop from baseline at TW 4 or TW 12) in the previous studies.
From start of 4-week PEG/RBV lead-in therapy or 44-week BOC/PR treatment through Follow-Up Week (FW) 24 (up to 68 weeks)
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Dose Modification (DM) or Discontinuation (DC), Treatment-Related Serious AEs (SAEs), Neutrophil Count <0.75 × 10^9/L, or Hemoglobin (Hgb) <10 g/dL
Time Frame: From start of 4-week PEG/RBV lead-in therapy or 44-week BOC/PR treatment through FW 24 (up to 68 weeks)
AE= any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product/biologic (at any dose), whether or not considered related to the use of that product. Included the onset of new illness and the exacerbation of pre-existing conditions. Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities that required intervention/additional therapy, required a dose modification, or were associated with a clinical manifestation were considered AEs. SAE= any adverse drug or biologic or device experience occurring at any dose resulting in death, was life-threatening, was persistent or caused significant disability/incapacity, required in-patient hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization, or was a congenital anomaly or birth defect.
From start of 4-week PEG/RBV lead-in therapy or 44-week BOC/PR treatment through FW 24 (up to 68 weeks)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Early Virologic Response (EVR)
Time Frame: From TW 1 to TW 12
EVR was defined as undetectable HCV-RNA at TW 12 of BOC + PEG/RBV. EVR rates were evaluated by the prior interferon response (e.g., log drop from baseline at TW 4 or TW 12) in the previous studies.
From TW 1 to TW 12
