Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the durability of sustained virologic response after SVR24 has been achieved in patients treated with alisporivir in a Novartis-sponsored chronic Hepatitis C study.;Secondary Objective: -To determine whether subsequent detection of HCV RNA in patients who relapse following SVR24, represents the re-emergence of pre-existing virus, the development of resistance mutations, or whether it is due to re-infection. -To assess the impact of successful alisporivir treatment on the change in liver disease over time and to assess the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). -To assess the safety over time of previous alisporivir exposure.;Primary end point(s): To examine the proportion of patients who maintain HCV RNA viral load below lower limit of quantification (LOQ) at each scheduled time point.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During the 5 scheduled visits within three years. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): -HCV RNA viral load -The proportion of patients who normalize alanine aminotransferase (ALT) -Liver fibrosis evaluations using Fibrotest and elastography, and to monitor for any changes over time using ultrasound of the liver and spleen -The proportion of relapsed patients -The proportion of re-infected patients -The safety assessment will be based on the analyses of adverse events, vital signs and laboratory evaluations.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During the 5 scheduled visits within three years. | — |
