What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Non-cirrhotic Treatment-Naïve Participants Who Are Eligible for Interferon (IFN)-Based Therapy and Who Have High Viral Load in the DB Active Treatment Group With a Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment

    The percentage noncirrhotic treatment-naïve participants who were eligible for IFN-based therapy and who had high viral load at baseline (HCV RNA ≥ 100,000 IU/mL) in the DB active treatment group with sustained virologic response (plasma Hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid [HCV RNA] level less than the lower limit of quantitation [< LLOQ]) 12 weeks after the last dose of active study drug (SVR12). Among noncirrhotic treatment-naïve participants who were eligible for IFN-based therapy and who had high viral load at baseline, superiority of Arm A to a clinically relevant threshold based on historical SVR rate with telaprevir plus pegylated interferon alpha/ribavirin (pegIFN/RBV) in treatment-naïve, non-cirrhotic patients with high viral load; the lower bound of 95% confidence interval (LCB) had to exceed 63% to achieve superiority. The 95% confidence interval was calculated using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.

    Measured: 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percentage of Participants in the Active Treatment Group With On-treatment Virologic Failure During Treatment

    On-treatment virologic failure among all randomized non-cirrhotic participants who received at least one dose of DB ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and all enrolled participants with compensated cirrhosis who received at least one dose of OL ABT-450/r/ABT-267. On-treatment virologic failure is defined as the occurrence of at least one of the following:

    • confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ (defined as 2 consecutive HCV RNA measurements ≥ LLOQ) at any point during treatment after HCV RNA < LLOQ (rebound), or
    • confirmed increase from nadir in HCV RNA (defined as 2 consecutive HCV RNA measurements > 1 log10 IU/mL above nadir) at any time point during treatment (rebound), or
    • HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ persistently during treatment with at least 6 weeks (≥ 36 days) of treatment (failure to suppress).

    The 95% confidence interval was calculated using the Wilson's score method.

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  2. Percentage of Participants in the Substudy 1 Arm A Active Treatment Group With On-treatment Virologic Failure During Treatment, by Subpopulation

    On-treatment virologic failure among all randomized non-cirrhotic participants who received at least one dose of DB ABT-450/r/ABT-267 in the following subpopulations: noncirrhotic treatment-naïve (T-naïve) participants with a high baseline (BL) viral load (HCV RNA ≥ 100,000 IU/mL) who are eligible for IFN-based therapy (IFN-BT), a low viral load (HCV RNA < 100,000 IU/mL), or who are ineligible for IFN-BT; noncirrhotic treatment-experienced (T-exp) participants who relapsed after prior IFN-BT, who were nonresponders to prior IFN-BT, or who were intolerant to IFN-BT. On-treatment virologic failure is defined in Outcome measure 2. The 95% confidence interval was calculated using the Wilson's score method.

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  3. Percentage of Participants in the Active Treatment Group With Post-treatment Relapse

    Post-treatment relapse among all randomized non-cirrhotic participants who received at least one dose of DB ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and completed treatment, and all enrolled participants with compensated cirrhosis who received at least one dose of OL ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and completed treatment. Relapse was defined as confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ (defined as 2 consecutive HCV RNA measurements ≥ LLOQ) between the final treatment visit and 12 weeks after the last dose of study drugs among participants completing treatment and with HCV RNA < LLOQ at the final treatment visit and at least one post-treatment HCV RNA value. The 95% confidence interval was calculated using the Wilson's score method.

    Measured: within 12 weeks after last dose of study drug

  4. Percentage of Participants in Substudy 1 Arm A Active Treatment Group With Post-treatment Relapse, by Subpopulation

    Post-treatment relapse among all randomized non-cirrhotic participants who received at least one dose of DB ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and completed treatment, in the following subpopulations: noncirrhotic treatment-naïve (T-naïve) participants with a high baseline (BL) viral load (HCV RNA ≥ 100,000 IU/mL) who are eligible for IFN-based therapy (IFN-BT), a low BL viral load (HCV RNA < 100,000 IU/mL), or who are ineligible for IFN-BT; noncirrhotic treatment-experienced (T-exp) participants who relapsed after prior IFN-BT, who were nonresponders to prior IFN-BT, or who were intolerant to IFN-BT.

    Relapse was defined as confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ (defined as 2 consecutive HCV RNA measurements ≥ LLOQ) between the final treatment visit and 12 weeks after the last dose of study drugs among participants completing treatment and with HCV RNA < LLOQ at the final treatment visit and at least one post-treatment HCV RNA value. The 95% confidence interval was calculated using the Wilson's score method.

    Measured: within 12 weeks after last dose of study drug

  5. Percentage of Participants in the Active Treatment Group With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment

    Sustained virologic response (plasma HCV RNA level < LLOQ) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug for all randomized non-cirrhotic participants who received at least one dose of DB ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and for all enrolled participants with compensated cirrhosis who received at least one dose of open-label ABT-450/r/ABT-267. The 95% confidence interval was calculated using the Wilson's score method.

    Measured: 12 weeks after last dose of study drug

  6. Percentage of Participants in Substudy 1 Arm A Active Treatment Group With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-Treatment, by Subpopulation

    Sustained virologic response (plasma HCV RNA level < LLOQ) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug for all randomized non-cirrhotic participants who received at least one dose of DB ABT-450/r/ABT-267 in the following subpopulations: noncirrhotic T-naïve participants with a high BL viral load (HCV RNA ≥ 100,000 IU/mL) who are eligible for IFN-BT; noncirrhotic T-naïve participants with low BL viral load (HCV RNA < 100,000 IU/mL); noncirrhotic T-naïve participants who are ineligible for IFN-BT; noncirrhotic T-exp participants who relapsed after prior IFN-BT; noncirrhotic T-exp participants who were nonresponders to prior IFN-BT; noncirrhotic T-exp participants who were intolerant to IFN-BT. The 95% confidence interval was calculated using the Wilson's score method.

    Measured: 12 weeks after last dose of study drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ABT-450/r/ABT-267 in people with Chronic Hepatitis C Infection, run by AbbVie.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 6 Jun 2018. 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. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Nov 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 Non-cirrhotic Treatment-Naïve Participants Who Are Eligible for Interferon (IFN)-Based Therapy and Who Have High Viral Load in the DB Active Treatment Group With a Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment (time frame: 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug). 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 NCT02023099, which also lists 2 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 6 Jun 2018.
