About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Study to Investigate the Pharmacokinetics of MK-5172 and MK-8742 in Subjects With Renal Insufficiency

Grazoprevir (MK-5172) and Elbasvir (MK-8742) were studied as the principal components of combination oral therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV). The study examined the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of Grazoprevir and Elbasvir following 10 days of dosing in participants with end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) or participants with severe renal impairment. Both groups were compared to healthy matched controls.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Grazoprevir and Elbasvir in people with Chronic Hepatitis C and Renal Impairment, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 7 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 12 Jun 2019. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Mar 2016). 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?

Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From 0 to 24 Hours Postdose (AUC0-24hr) of Grazoprevir (time frame: Up to 24 hours postdose). The study lists 14 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 NCT01937975, 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 12 Jun 2019.
