Efficacy of PTX+IFN Alpha+ RBV on Hepatitis C Virus Coinfected HIV Patients
Efficacy of Pentoxyfylline Addition to a Treatment Scheme Based on Interferon Alpha and Ribavirin on Hepatitis C Virus Coinfected HIV Patients, Considering Interleukin 28B Polymorphism rs12979860
Current Hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment consists of the combination of interferon alpha 2a (IFN-alpha 2a) plus ribavirin (RBV) and it provides sustained virologic responses (SVR) on 54 to 56% on HCV monoinfected patients and this response is even lower on HIV-HCV coinfected patients. A previous study on HCV monoinfected patients showed that the addition of pentoxyfylline (PTX) to a treatment scheme based on interferon-alfa and ribavirin increased SVR on 25%, although it is not known if the same effect is to be obtained in HCV-HIV coinfected patients.
On the other hand, other factors such as host genetics, have proved to influence treatment response on HCV infected patients. The best described genetic factor so far is the interleukin 28B (IL28B) polymorphism rs12979860, where a cytosine-cytosine (CC) genotype provides an almost twice increase on SVR than the rest of the genotypes.
Therefore, this is a randomized, double blind study to assess the efficacy of pentoxyfylline addition to a treatment scheme based on interferon-alfa and ribavirin in chronic HCV genotype 1, co-infected HIV-1 positive subjects, considering the IL28B polymorphism rs12979860.
HIV-HCV coinfected subjects currently receiving Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), with at least 8 months on undetectable HIV viral load and T helper cells count of 200 or higher will be included. Patients will be randomized on one of two groups:
- Group A: IFN alpha 2a + RBV + PTX
- Group B: IFN alpha 2a + RBV + placebo
Patients will be followed for primary outcome during 72 (for rapid responders) or 96 weeks (for non rapid responses). Outcome measures will be the following:
- SVR rate 24 weeks after the end of treatment
- Grade of Hepatic fibrosis from baseline to the end of treatment, measured by transient elastography and the AST to platelet ratio index (APRI index)
- IL28B rs12979860 genotype
The study hypothesis is that the addition of PTX to a treatment scheme based on IFN-alfa2a and RBV in chronic HCV genotype 1, co-infected HIV-1 positive subjects will improve SVR rate and fibrosis progression irrespectively of IL28B rs12979860 genotype.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?
Misure di risultato primarie
Misura del risultato |
Misura Descrizione |
Lasso di tempo |
|---|---|---|
|
sustained virologic rate 24 weeks post treatment with IFNalpha 2a/RBV/PTX with genotype 1 chronic HCV infection + HIV infection
Lasso di tempo: SVR rate at 24 weeks after the end of therapy
|
Primary objective: is to evaluate sustained virologic response at post treatment week 24 following treatment with IFNalpha 2a/RBV/PTX with genotype 1 chronic HCV infection + HIV infection
|
SVR rate at 24 weeks after the end of therapy
|
Misure di risultato secondarie

Misura Descrizione |
Lasso di tempo |
|---|---|---|
|
grade of hepatic fibrosis
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and week 72 (for quick responders) or week 96 (for non-quick responders)
|
The liver stiffness (hepatic fibrosis) will be measured by transient elastography and the APRI index on the baseline visit and then at the follow up visit after treatment, which will be after 72 weeks, for patients that turn out to be quick responders; or 96 weeks, for patients that turn out to be non-quick responders.
|
Baseline and week 72 (for quick responders) or week 96 (for non-quick responders)
|
|
rapid virologic response (RVR) and extended rapid virologic response (eRVR) rates
Lasso di tempo: RVR at week 4 and eRVR at week 48 post treatment
|
secondary objective (2): Evaluate rapid virologic response (RVR) and extended rapid virologic response (eRVR)
|
RVR at week 4 and eRVR at week 48 post treatment
|

Misura Descrizione |
Lasso di tempo |

|
Percentage of patients with CC genotype on the IL28B rs12979860 polymorphism
Lasso di tempo: week 72
|
We will compare the percentage of patients with CC genotype among patients that achieved sustained virologic response and those who did not achieved it.
This is to confirm if the intervention provides a beneficial effect, irrespectively of host genetic factors.
