Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Open-Label Study of Telaprevir Administered Every 12 or 8 Hours in Combination With One of Two Pegylated Interferons and Ribavirin in Treatment-Naive Genotype 1 Chronic Hepatitis C Participants (NCT NCT00528528)

NCT ID: NCT00528528

Last Updated: 2014-06-25

Results Overview

Virologic response was either defined as having undetectable Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) (i.e., no HCV RNA was detected in the participants' plasma samples) or less than 25 international units/milliliter (IU/mL) HCV RNA (i.e., the participants' plasma samples contained traces of HCV RNA at a concentration below the limit of quantification of the viral load assay or no HCV RNA was detected in the samples).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (pre-dose), Week 12

Population: FAS population included all randomly assigned participants who received at least 1 dose of the study medication.

Change from baseline in log 10 of Plasma HCV RNA levels were measured using the COBAS TaqMan HCV test (lower limit of quantification 25 IU/mL). The assay used real-time reverse transcription - polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) methodology. HCV RNA samples were taken pre-dose of Peg-IFN administration.
