About this study
Official title: An Open-Label Pilot Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Antiviral Activity of ABT-450 With Ritonavir (ABT-450/r) Dosed in Combination With ABT-072 and Ribavirin (RBV) in Treatment-Naive Subjects With Genotype 1 Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity of ABT-450 with ritonavir (ABT-450/r) dosed in combination with ABT-072 and ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-naïve participants with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
Read the detailed description
This was a Phase 2a multicenter, open-label, single arm, combination treatment study of a regimen of ABT-450/r/ABT-072, and ribavirin (RBV) in hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1-(1a or 1b) infected treatment-naïve participants.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| ABT-450/r and ABT-072, plus ribavirin (RBV) | Experimental | ABT-450/r (150/100 mg) once daily (QD) and ABT-072 (400 mg) QD plus weight-based RBV divided twice daily (BID) for 12 weeks. Receives: Drug: ABT-450; Drug: ABT-072; Drug: Ribavirin; Drug: Ritonavir |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants With Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Suppressed Below the Lower Limit of Quantitation (LLOQ) From Week 4 Through Week 12
Analysis of the percentage of participants with hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid less than the lower limit of quantitation (< 25 IU/mL).
Measured: Week 4 through Week 12
Secondary outcomes (6)
Percentage of Participants With Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) < 1000 International Units Per Milliliter (IU/mL)
Analysis of participants with HCV RNA levels below 1000 IU/mL at Week 2.
Measured: Week 2
Percentage of Participants With Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Below the Lower Limit of Quantitation (LLOQ) at Week 4
Analysis of percentage of participants with hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid less than the lower limit of quantitation (< 25 IU/mL).
Measured: Week 4
Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks (SVR12) Post-treatment
Sustained Virologic Response 12 (SVR12) is defined as plasma hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) less than the lower limit of quantification (< LLOQ; < 25 IU/mL) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
Measured: Post-treatment Day 1 to Post-treatment Week 12
Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 24 Weeks (SVR24) Post-Treatment
Sustained Virologic Response 24 (SVR24) is defined as plasma hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) less than the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; < 25 IU/mL) 24 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
Measured: Post-treatment Day 1 to Post-treatment Week 24
Time to Failure to Suppress or Rebound During Treatment
The time to failure to suppress was defined as first day a participant met any virologic stopping criteria during treatment. The virologic stopping criteria also includes failure to achieve a 2 log10 IU/mL decrease in HCV RNA by Week 1, failure to achieve HCV RNA <LLOQ by Week 6, or rebound, defined as first day of 2 consecutive increases of at least 0.5 log10 IU/mL above nadir (local minimum value) or confirmed HCV RNA > lower limit of detection (LLOD) for participants who previously achieved HCV RNA < LLOD.
Measured: Day 1 through Week 12
Time to Virologic Relapse Through 24 Weeks Post-treatment
Time to confirmed hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) ≥ lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) (2 consecutive measurements ≥ LLOQ) at any point in the post-treatment period among participants with HCV RNA < LLOQ at the end of treatment.
Measured: Post-treatment Day 1 to Post-treatment Week 24

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing ABT-450, ABT-072 and Ribavirin in people with Hepatitis C and HCV, run by AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott) at 4 sites in United States.
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 6 inclusion and 9 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 8 Jan 2015. 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 United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Jan 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Percentage of Participants With Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Suppressed Below the Lower Limit of Quantitation (LLOQ) From Week 4 Through Week 12 (time frame: Week 4 through Week 12). 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 NCT01221298, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 8 Jan 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
