About this study

Official title: A Multiple-Dose Study To Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Antiviral Activity of Ritonavir-Boosted RO5190591 in Combination With Peginterferon Alfa-2a Plus Ribavirin in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 1

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of danoprevir (RO5190591) plus ritonavir as compared to danoprevir alone or placebo plus ritonavir in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 receiving Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) and ribavirin. Patients in cohorts will be randomized to receive either oral doses of danoprevir, or danoprevir plus ritonavir, or placebo plus ritonavir. All patients will receive Pegasys (180mcg sc once weekly) plus ribavirin (1000-1200mg/day po), with the option to continue this treatment after completion of study drug treatment. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to 12 weeks.

Being tested
danoprevir, peginterferon alfa-2a [Pegasys], placebo, ribavirin, ritonavir
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and tolerability: Adverse events, ECG, laboratory parameters

    Measured: approximately 3 years

  2. Pharmacokinetics: Cmax, AUC, Cmin, Tmax, Cl, T1/2

    Measured: Days 3-9

  3. Antiviral activity: HCV RNA (COBAS Taqman HCV Test)

    Measured: from baseline to Day 28

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Viral resistance development

    Measured: from baseline to Day 17

  2. Effects on cytochrome P450(CYP)2C9 and 3A isozymes

    Measured: from baseline to Day 17

  3. Virological response in prior null-responders

    Measured: from baseline to week 72

  4. Comparison of pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity between treatment-naïve patients and prior null-responders to standard of care treatment

    Measured: approximately 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing danoprevir, peginterferon alfa-2a [Pegasys] and ribavirin in people with Hepatitis C, Chronic, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 4 sites in 3 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 2 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in New Zealand, France, Poland. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Safety and tolerability: Adverse events, ECG, laboratory parameters (time frame: approximately 3 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01185860, 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 2 Nov 2016.
