Efficacy and Safety Evaluation of a Treatment Consisting of Peg Interferon Alfa + Ribavirin + Daclatasvir in HCV Genotype 1 and 4 Treatment naïve Patients (COMMAND-Asia)

November 21, 2013 updated by: Bristol-Myers Squibb

A Phase 3 Randomized, Double Blind, Multi-National Evaluation of Daclatasvir in Combination With Peg Interferon Alfa-2a and Ribavirin in Treatment-Naive Subjects With Chronic Hepatitis C Genotypes 1 and 4

The purpose of this study is to determine whether 24 week treatment with the Daclatasvir (DCV) in combination with Pegylated-interferon alfa 2a (pegIFNα-2a) and Ribavirin (RBV) is safe and demonstrates rate of Sustained Virologic Response at follow up week 24 (SVR24) (defined as undetectable HCV RNA at post-treatment Week 24) that are non-inferior to 48 weeks of the dual combination therapy of pegIFNα-2a/RBV in a majority of study subjects

  • Documented or suspected Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as evidenced by previously obtained imaging studies or liver biopsy
  • Evidence of a medical condition contributing to chronic liver disease other than HCV
  • History of chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) or Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
  • Current or know history of cancer (except in situ carcinoma of cervix or adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin) within 5 years prior to enrollment
  • Laboratory values:

    1. Hemoglobin < 12 g/dL (females) or < 13 g/dL (males)

    3. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1.5 × 1000000000 cells/L
    4. Total bilirubin ≥ 34 µmol/L (unless due to Gilbert's disease)
