Hepatitis C
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a nonrandomized, multi-site, open-label trial to evaluate a novel two-drug combination regimen (uprifosbuvir \[MK-3682\] 450 mg + ruzasvir \[RZR; MK-8408\] 180 mg once daily \[q.d.\] for 12 weeks) in male and female treatment-naïve (TN) or treatment-experienced (TE) participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection genotype (GT) GT1, GT2, GT3, GT4, GT5, or GT6 who have not previously received HCV direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy. Cirrhotic (C) and non-cirrhotic (NC) participants with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infection will be enrolled.
Detailed description
Any GT that meets virologic futility criteria will be given the option of extending treatment with uprifosbuvir + RZR to 16 weeks with ribavirin (RBV) added.
Interventions
DRUGUprifosbuvir
Participants take 3 tablets each containing 150 mg uprifosbuvir q.d. by mouth.
DRUGRuzasvir
Participants take 3 capsules each containing 60 mg RZR q.d. by mouth.
DRUGRibavirin
RBV 200 mg capsules will be taken according to package instructions for a maximum of 16 weeks for any GT that meets virologic futility rules on uprifosbuvir + RZR alone.

An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example ), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change infrequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE. |
