A Study of Faldaprevir, Ribavirin and TD-6450 in Participants With Genotype 4 Hepatitis C Virus Infection

January 27, 2017 updated by: Trek Therapeutics, PBC

Phase 2a, Randomized, Double-Blind Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Faldaprevir in Combination With Ribavirin and TD-6450 for 12 Weeks in Treatment-Naive Patients Chronically Infected With Genotype 4 Hepatitis C Virus

Phase 2a study designed to assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of Faldaprevir and TD-6450 in combination with Ribavirin for a 12-week treatment duration in treatment-naïve participants with genotype 4 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A study to evaluate the safety and effect of treatment with experimental antiviral drugs in combination with ribavirin in treatment-naïve participants with genotype 4 hepatitis C infection. The study will test the safety and effects of this alternative treatment for up to 12 weeks. Secondary objectives of this study are to determine the pharmacokinetics of the study drugs when co-administered, and to evaluate HCV RNA kinetics during treatment.
