Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of PEGASYS (Peginterferon Alfa-2a (40KD)) Plus COPEGUS (Ribavirin) in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC) Genotype 1 and Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) Co-infection (NCT NCT00353418)
NCT ID: NCT00353418
Last Updated: 2010-08-03
Results Overview
SVR was defined by the percentage of patients with undetectable Hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) at 24 weeks after completion of the 48-week treatment period (i.e., a single last HCV RNA \< 20 IU/mL measured ≥ Day 477 \[≥ Week 68\]). Patients without an HCV measurement at the end of the 24-week untreated follow-up period were considered nonresponders.

Virological response at the end of the treatment period was defined as a single last HCV RNA measurement \<20 IU/mL at the completion of the treatment period (Days 324 to 351). Patients without an HCV measurement at Week 48 were considered nonresponders.

Virological response at Weeks 4, 12 and 24 was also defined as a single last undetectable HCV RNA (\< 20 IU/mL) falling within the visit windows of Days 16 to 43, 72 to 99, and 156 to 183, respectively. Patients without an HCV measurement at a study week were considered nonresponders at that study week.

Timeframe: Weeks 48 and 72Population: Within the All Patients Treated population, patients with a response at end of treatment: PEG-IFN alfa 2-a 180 μg + ribavirin 800 mg = 37 patients; PEG-IFN alfa 2-a 180 μg + ribavirin 1000 or 1200 mg = 83 patients.
Relapse of virological response was calculated by dividing the number of patients who achieved a virological response at the end of treatment but had detectable HCV RNA at the last assessment posttreatment by the number of patients with a virological response at the end of treatment who had at least one HCV RNA assessment posttreatment.

RVR was defined as an undetectable HCV RNA \< 20 IU/mL (a single last HCV RNA \< 20 IU/mL falling in the time window of Days 2 to 43). Patients without an HCV measurement by Week 4 were considered nonresponders.

EVR: Undetectable HCV RNA \<20 IU/mL or ≥2 log10 drop from pretreatment level, by Week 12 (a single last HCV RNA \<20 IU/mL or ≥2 log10 drop from pretreatment level in the time window of Days 2 to 99). Partial EVR: Detectable HCV RNA but ≥2 log10 drop from pretreatment, by Week 12 (a single last HCV RNA detectable but ≥2 log10 drop from pretreatment in the time window of Days 2 to 99). Complete EVR: Undetectable HCV RNA \<20 IU/mL, by Week 12 (a single last HCV RNA \<20 IU/mL in the time window of Days 2 to 99).
