Proof of Concept Study for Safety and Efficacy of EDP239 in Hepatitis C Subjects

January 28, 2016 updated by: Enanta Pharmaceuticals, Inc

Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multi-center Trial to Determine the Safety and Antiviral Effect of Single Doses of EDP239 in Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infected Subjects

The purpose of this study is, to assess whether EDP239 can reduce the HCV viral load in HCV gentotype-1 in chronically infected subjects and to further evaluate the safety profile of EDP239.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects must have chronic genotype-1 hepatitis C virus infection and plasma HCV-RNA ≥ 105 IU/mL at the time of screening.
  • Subjects must have chronic HCV infection as determined by any of the following:
  • be anti-HCV (+) for at least 6 months per subject history or medical records
  • an anti-HCV test, viral load, or genotype > 6 months ago
  • In the setting of a recent positive anti-HCV test (< 6 months), liver biopsy demonstrating chronicity
  • Subjects must have IL-28b genotype "CC"
  • Subjects must weigh at least 50 kg to participate in the study, and must have a body mass index (BMI) within the range of 18 - 36 kg/m2. BMI = Body weight (kg) / [Height (m)]2

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Use of other investigational drugs at the time of enrollment, or within 5 half-lives of enrollment, or within 30 days (for small molecules) whichever is longer; or longer if required by local regulations.
  • Previous treatment, including the use of any investigational agents, for the treatment of HCV infection.
  • Women of child bearing potential.
  • Subjects with IL-28b genotype "CT or TT".
  • ALT γ-GT, and AST must be below 5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN).
  • Serum bilirubin must not exceed ULN.
  • The PT (INR) must be within normal limits.
  • If necessary, laboratory testing may be repeated on one occasion (as soon as possible) prior to randomization, to rule out any laboratory error.
  • Use of drugs that inhibit or induce CYP3A4.

baseline, day 1

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety
Time Frame: 14 days
Laboratory and clinical evaluations will be used as safety events
14 days
Change from baseline in HCV RNA log
Time Frame: baseline, Day 1

baseline, Day 1
Total concentration in plasma of EDP239 in HCV Gentoype 1 infected subjects
Time Frame: baseline, day 1
The concentration in plasma parameters of EDP239 will be determined using the actual recorded sampling times and non-compartmental method.
baseline, day 1
