Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects must have genotype 1 Chronic Hepatitis C
  • Subjects must have compensated cirrhosis
  • Subjects may either be treatment naïve, or may have received a course of Peg IFN/RBV without evidence of response. Subjects who are considered to be relapsers to Peg IFN/RBV, or who are partial or null responders will be considered
  • Subjects with hemophilia may be permitted to enroll with permission of the medical monitor

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any previous treatment with an investigational drug or drug regimen for the treatment of hepatitis C, or previous treatment with an approved protease inhibitor
  • Any contraindication to Peg-IFN or RBV therapy
  • Evidence of hepatic decompensation: history of ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, or bleeding esophageal varices
  • A history of acquired immunodeficiency infection, organ transplantation or have an ongoing requirement for immunosuppressive medicines

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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

up to 48 weeks
The association of the IL-28B genotype with SVR12
Time Frame: 12 weeks

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
