Trial Outcomes & Findings for PROPHESYS 3: Observational Study on Predictors of Response in Patients With Treatment-naïve Chronic Hepatitis C Initiated on Treatment With Pegasys (Peginterferon Alfa-2a) or Peginterferon-alfa-2b (NCT NCT01066819)

NCT ID: NCT01066819

Last Updated: 2016-08-08

Results Overview

Sustained virological response (SVR) was defined as virological response (VR) at 24 weeks after end of treatment (EOT). Virological response was defined as hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) of \<15 international units per milliliter (IU/mL) as assessed by COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan (CAP/CTM) or another HCV RNA test with at least the same degree of sensitivity. The CAP/CTM test is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for the quantification of HCV. This test possesses a high sensitivity (lower limit of detection \[LLOD\] 15 IU/mL) and a broad linear range of quantification (43 IU/mL up to 69 million IU/mL) in all HCV genotypes. The SVR is reported in treatment naive HCV mono-infected modified all-treated (mTRT) population who received PEG-IFN alfa-2a and PEG-IFN alfa-2b. The EOT was 12, 24, 48 or 72 weeks after initiation of treatment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At 24 weeks (Wk) after EOT

Population: The mTRT population included all participants who received at least one dose of PEG-IFN and ribavirin, and had at least one post-baseline HCV RNA result. Participants with a baseline (BL) result \<50 IU/mL were excluded. n = the number of participants analyzed at a given time point.

Sustained virological response (SVR) was defined as virological response (VR) at 24 weeks after end of treatment (EOT). Virological response was defined as hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) of \<15 international units per milliliter (IU/mL) as assessed by COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan (CAP/CTM) or another HCV RNA test with at least the same degree of sensitivity. The CAP/CTM test is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for the quantification of HCV. This test possesses a high sensitivity (lower limit of detection \[LLOD\] 15 IU/mL) and a broad linear range of quantification (43 IU/mL up to 69 million IU/mL) in all HCV genotypes. The SVR is reported in treatment naive HCV mono-infected modified all-treated (mTRT) population who received PEG-IFN alfa-2a and PEG-IFN alfa-2b. The EOT was 12, 24, 48 or 72 weeks after initiation of treatment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At 24 weeks after EOT

Population: The mTRT population included all participants who received at least one dose of PEG-IFN and ribavirin, and had at least one post-baseline HCV RNA result. Participants with a baseline result \<50 IU/mL were excluded. n = the number of participants analyzed at a given time point.

The probability that a participant who developed VR by Week 4 and 12 and also achieved mSVR at 24 weeks after EOT was called the positive predictive value (PPV) of the VR by Wk 4 for mSVR. The probability that a participant who failed to develop VR by Wk 4 and 12 and also failed to achieve mSVR at 24 weeks after EOT was called the negative predictive value (NPV) of the VR by Wk 4 and 12 for mSVR. Predictive values of VR are reported in treatment naive HCV mono-infected mTRT participants who received PEG-IFN alfa-2a and PEG-IFN alfa-2b. The EOT was 12, 24, 48 or 72 weeks after initiation of treatment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At 24 weeks after EOT

Population: The PP population included all participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. n = the number of participants analyzed at a given time point.

The probability that a participant who developed VR by Week 4 and 12 and also achieved mSVR at 24 weeks after EOT was called the PPV of the VR by Wk 4 for mSVR. The probability that a participant who failed to develop VR by Wk 4 and 12 and also failed to achieve mSVR at 24 weeks after EOT was called the NPV of the VR by Wk 4 and 12 for mSVR. Predictive values of VR are reported in treatment naive HCV mono-infected PP population who received PEG-IFN alfa-2a and PEG-IFN alfa-2b. The EOT was 12, 24, 48 or 72 weeks after initiation of treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At Week 2, Week 4, Week 12, EOT, and at 12 Weeks after EOT

Population: The mTRT population included all participants who received at least one dose of PEG-IFN and ribavirin, and had at least one post-baseline HCV RNA result. Participants with a baseline result \<50 IU/mL were excluded. n = the number of participants analyzed at a given time point.

Virological Response (VR) was defined as HCV RNA \<15 IU/mL as assessed by COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan (HCV) (CAP/CTM) or another HCV RNA test with at least the same degree of sensitivity. The CAP/CTM test is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for the quantification of HCV. This test possesses a high sensitivity (lower limit of detection 15 IU/mL) and a broad linear range of quantification (43 IU/mL up to 69 million IU/mL) in all HCV genotypes. PEOT= Post End of Treatment. EOT= 12, 24, 48 or 72 weeks after initiation of treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At Week 2, Week 4, Week 12, EOT, and at 12 Weeks after EOT

Population: The mTRT population included all participants who received at least one dose of PEG-IFN and ribavirin, and had at least one post-baseline HCV RNA result. Participants with a baseline result \<50 IU/mL were excluded. n = the number of participants analyzed at a given time point.

Modified virological response (mVR) was defined as HCV RNA \<50 IU/mL as assessed by CAP/CTM or another HCV RNA test with at least the same degree of sensitivity. The CAP/CTM test is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for the quantification of HCV. This test possesses a high sensitivity (LLOD 15 IU/mL) and a broad linear range of quantification (43 IU/mL up to 69 million IU/mL) in all HCV genotypes. The mVR is reported in treatment naive HCV mono-infected mTRT population who received PEG-IFN alfa-2a and PEG-IFN alfa-2b. The EOT was 12, 24, 48 or 72 weeks after initiation of treatment. PEOT= Post End of Treatment

Timeframe: At Week 2, Week 4 and Week 12

Population: Th PP population included all participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. n = the number of participants analyzed at a given time point.

Participants with 2-log drop in HCV RNA including HCV RNA values \<50 IU/mL in the serum from baseline to Week 2, Week 4 and Week 12, expressed in terms of a logarithmic scale with base 10 were evaluated and reported. A 2 log drop in HCV RNA was defined as drop of HCV viral load by 99%. The 2 log drop in HCV RNA is reported in treatment naive HCV mono-infected PP population who received PEG-IFN alfa-2a and PEG-IFN alfa-2b.

The probability that a participant who developed VR by Wk 2 achieved mSVR at 24 weeks after EOT was called the PPV of the VR by Wk 4 for mSVR. The probability that a participant who failed to develop VR by Wk 4 and 12 and also failed to achieve mSVR at 24 weeks after EOT was called the NPV of the VR by Wk 4 and 12 for mSVR. Predictive Values of VR was reported in treatment naive HCV mono-infected mTRT population participants who received PEG-IFN alfa-2a and PEG-IFN alfa-2b. The EOT was 12, 24, 48 or 72 weeks after initiation of treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At 24 weeks after EOT

Population: The PP population included all participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. n = the number of participants analyzed at a given time point.

The probability that a participant who developed VR by Wk 2 and achieved mSVR at 24 weeks after EOT was called the PPV of the VR by Wk 4 for mSVR. The probability that a participant who failed to develop VR by Wk 2 and also failed to achieve mSVR at 24 weeks after EOT was called the NPV of the VR by Wk 2 for mSVR. Predictive values of VR is reported in treatment naive HCV mono-infected PP population who received PEG-IFN alfa-2a and PEG-IFN alfa-2b. The EOT was 12, 24, 48 or 72 weeks after initiation of treatment.

Participants whose last test result in their respective follow-up time window showed mVR were considered to have maintained their modified end of treatment response (mEOT-R).

Only participants with mEOT-R who had a HCV RNA measurement in the follow-up time window (without use of backward imputation), or whose last HCV RNA measurement at a follow-up time point before the time window did not show mVR, were included in the calculations. The number of participants with relapse was reported in treatment naive mTRT population who received PEG-IFN alfa-2a and PEG-IFN alfa-2b.
