Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Safety of DEB025 Plus Ribavirin in Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 2 and 3 Treatment naïve Patients

April 18, 2016 updated by: Debiopharm International SA

A Multicenter, Open-label, Randomized, 3-arm, Phase II Profiling Trial of Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Safety of DEB025/Alisporivir in Combination With Ribavirin Therapy in Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 2 and 3 Treatment naïve Patients

This study will explore the relationship of different DEB025 doses in combination with RBV to pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic (i.e. viral load reduction) and safety profiles in chronic hepatitis C GT 2 and 3 treatment naïve patients.
