About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of the Safety and Efficacy of ANA598 Administered With Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin in Genotype 1 Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C Infection

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of setrobuvir in patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C. Treatment-naïve patients will be randomized to receive either setrobuvir (800 mg orally b.i.d loading dose followed by 200 mg orally .b.i.d.) or placebo in combination with standard of care Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) and Copegus (ribavirin). Treatment duration will be 28 weeks or 48 weeks depending on response. Treatment-experienced patients categorized as relapsers, partial responders and viral breakthrough patients to previous pegylated interferon and ribavirin therapy will be randomized to receive either setrobuvir or placebo in combination with Pegasys and Copegus for 48 weeks. Treatment-experienced patients categorized as null-responders to previous pegylated interferon and ribavirin therapy will be assigned to treatment with setrobuvir plus Pegasys and Copegus for 48 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients achieving sustained virologic response (SVR24), defined as undetectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA at 24 weeks after discontinuation of all study drugs

    Measured: 24 weeks after discontinuation of all study drugs (treatment duration 28 or 48 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Proportion of patients achieving undetectable HCV RNA (defined as HCV RNA < 15 IU/mL) at each visit through Week 24

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Proportion of treatment-naïve patients eligible to stop all treatment at Week 28

    Measured: 28 weeks

  3. Safety: Incidence of adverse events

    Measured: up to approximately 72 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing peginterferon alfa-2a [Pegasys], ribavirin [Copegus] and setrobuvir in people with Hepatitis C, Chronic, run by Hoffmann-La Roche.

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 9 inclusion and 11 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.

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?

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?

Proportion of patients achieving sustained virologic response (SVR24), defined as undetectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA at 24 weeks after discontinuation of all study drugs (time frame: 24 weeks after discontinuation of all study drugs (treatment duration 28 or 48 weeks)). 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 2 Nov 2016.
