A Study to Investigate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of Combination Treatment of AL-335, Odalasvir, and Simeprevir in Japanese Participants With Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 1 or 2 Virus Infection, With or Without Compensated Cirrhosis Who Are Direct Acting Antiviral Treatment-naive

September 10, 2019 updated by: Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K.

A Phase 2a, Multicenter, Open-label Study to Investigate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of Combination Treatment of AL-335, Odalasvir, and Simeprevir in Japanese Subjects With Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 1 or 2 Virus Infection, With or Without Compensated Cirrhosis Who Are Direct Acting Antiviral Treatment-naïve

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a combination treatment of AL-335, odalasvir (ODV), and simeprevir (SMV) for 8 weeks in Japanese participants with genotype 1 or 2 chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection without cirrhosis and for 12 weeks in direct-acting antiviral (DAA)-naive Japanese participants with genotype 1 or 2 chronic HCV infection with compensated cirrhosis.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection
  • All participants must have HCV genotype 1 or 2 infection, determined at screening
  • HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) plasma levels greater than or equal to (>=)10,000 international units per Milliliter (IU/mL), determined at screening
  • Direct-acting antiviral (DAA)-naive participants, defined as not having received treatment with any approved or investigational DAA drug for chronic HCV infection; prior HCV therapy consisting of interferon (IFN, pegylated or nonpegylated) with or without ribavirin (RBV) is allowed
  • Participants without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Infection with HCV genotype - 3, 4, 5, or 6
  • Co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV 1 or HIV 2 antibody positive) or hepatitis B virus (HBV) (hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] positive)
  • Prior treatment with any investigational or approved HCV DAA, either in combination with PegIFN or IFN free
  • Any evidence of liver disease of non-HCV etiology. This includes, but is not limited to, acute hepatitis A infection (immunoglobulin M), drug or alcohol related liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency, primary biliary cirrhosis, or any other non-HCV liver disease that is considered clinically significant by the investigator
  • Evidence of hepatic decompensation as assessed with Child-Pugh Class B or C or any of the following: history or current clinical evidence of ascites, bleeding varices, or hepatic encephalopathy

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: Approximately 38 weeks (Cohort 1) and 42 weeks (Cohort 2)
An adverse event was any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.
