About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Dose Escalation Study of EMZ702 in Combination With Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 1 Non-responsive to Prior Therapy With Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of repeated intravenous infusions of EMZ702 in combination with pegylated interferon and ribavirin in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1.

Read the detailed description

In this study, 28 patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 who have failed previous treatment with pegylated interferon plus ribavirin will be treated. The study treatment will consist of the same type and doses of pegylated interferon and ribavirin to which the patient failed to respond plus EMZ702. EMZ702 will be administered intravenously twice a week during the first 12 weeks of treatment. Thereafter and according to viral response, patients will continue to receive pegylated interferon and ribavirin only for up to 36 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing EMZ702 in people with Chronic Hepatitis C and Hepatitis, Viral, Human, run by OPKO Health, Inc. at 2 sites in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of repeated intravenous infusions of EMZ702 in combination with pegylated interferon and ribavirin in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Oct 2019.
