About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Single-Arm Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Ombitasvir/ABT-450/Ritonavir and Dasabuvir in Adults With Genotype 1b Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection and Cirrhosis (TURQUOISE-III)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ombitasvir/ paritaprevir/ ritonavir and dasabuvir in adults with genotype 1b chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and cirrhosis.

Read the detailed description

This was a multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of ombitasvir/ paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir administered for 12 weeks in HCV genotype 1b (GT1b)-infected, treatment-naïve and previous pegylated interferon (pegIFN)/ ribavirin (RBV) treatment-experienced adults with compensated cirrhosis. The duration of the study was up to 36 weeks (not including a screening period of up to 42 days) and consisted of a 12-week Treatment Period and a 24-week Post-Treatment Period for all participants who received study drugs.

What is being measured

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

  1. 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.

    The primary efficacy endpoints were non-inferiority and superiority of the percentage of participants who achieved sustained virologic response 12 weeks after treatment in each treatment arm compared with the historical threshold for sofosbuvir and peginterferon (pegIFN)/RBV for the treatment of subjects with HCV GT1b infection and cirrhosis.

    Measured: Post-treatment Day 1 to Post-treatment Week 12

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Participants With On-Treatment Virologic Failure

    On-Treatment Virologic Failure is defined as confirmed HCV RNA >= LLOQ after HCV RNA < LLOQ during treatment, or confirmed increase from nadir (local minimum value) in HCV RNA [2 consecutive HCV RNA measurements > 1 log10 IU/mL above nadir] at any time point during treatment, or failure to suppress during treatment [all on-treatment values of HCV RNA >= LLOQ] with at least 6 weeks [defined as active study drug duration ≥ 36 days] of treatment.

    Measured: Day 1 through Week 12

  2. Percentage of Participants With Post-Treatment Relapse

    Post- Treatment Relapse is defined as confirmed HCV RNA >= LLOQ between end of treatment and 12 weeks after last actual dose of active study drug [up to and including the SVR12 assessment time point] for a participant with HCV RNA < LLOQ at Final Treatment Visit who completes treatment.

    Measured: Post-treatment Day 1 to Post-treatment Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ombitasvir/Paritaprevir/Ritonavir and Dasabuvir in people with Chronic Hepatitis C Infection and Compensated Cirrhosis, 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 12 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 Jul 2021. 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 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 29 Jun 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?

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks (SVR12) Post-treatment (time frame: Post-treatment Day 1 to Post-treatment 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 NCT02219503, 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 Jul 2021.
