Hepatitis C Viral Infection, Chronic Hepatitis C, Hepatitis C (HCV), Hepatitis C Genotype 1
Conditions
Brief summary
Phase 2 study designed to assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of Faldaprevir and TD-6450 alone or in combination with other antivirals for a 12-week treatment duration in treatment-naïve participants with genotype 1b hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
Detailed description
A study to evaluate the safety and effect of treatment with experimental antiviral drugs alone or in combination with ribavirin in treatment-naïve participants with genotype 1b hepatitis C infection. The study will test the safety and anti-viral activity of two regimens administered for a duration of 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.

Exclusion criteria
* Infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or human immunodeficiency virus, HIV-1 or HIV-2
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Percentage of subjects achieving 12-week sustained virologic response following treatment with 2 direct acting anti-virals with and without ribavirin in Genotype 1b Hepatitis C infected adults | Post Treatment Week 12 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Percentage of subjects with virologic response 2, 4 and 8 weeks after treatment completion (HCV RNA less than lower limit of quantitation at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after end of therapy with Faldaprevir plus TD-6450 with and without ribavirin) | Post Treatment Weeks 2 to 8 |
| Safety as determined by the incidence of serious adverse events, Grade 3 or 4 adverse events and laboratory abnormalities, and discontinuations due to adverse events | Randomization through End of Study, up to 24 weeks |
