About this study

Official title: Comparison of PEG Interferon Alfa-2b Plus Ribavirin Given as a Fixed Dose or on a Weight Optimized Basis for Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C in Previously Untreated Adult Subjects

The purpose of this study is to compare PEG-interferon alfa-2b and two different doses of rivavirin for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C in previously untreated adult subjects

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective:

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of two different PEG-interferon and Ribavirin regimens in patients who have not previously been treated for Hepatitis C. Patients have an equal chance to assignment to one of two treatment arms:

Treatment Arm A:

PEG-interferon 1.5 mcg/kg2 QW + Ribavirin 800 mg/day

OR

Treatment Arm B:

PEG-interferon 1.5mcg/kg2 QW + Ribavirin 800 to 1400 mg/day

Arm A \& Arm B: Duration of treatment will be 48 weeks for genotype 1 patients and 24 or 48 weeks for genotype 2 or 3 patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ribavirin, PEG-Intron in people with Chronic Hepatitis C, run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 7 Mar 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00299936, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 7 Mar 2006.
