Participant Flow

The study was conducted from 18 January 2011 to 29 January 2013. The study was conducted at 71 sites in 13 countries.

395 participants were randomly allocated to the 2 treatment arms. 394 participants received at least 1 dose of study medication and were included in the intent-to-treat analysis set.

Measure
TMC435 150mg 12Wks PR24/48
Participants were given TMC435 150 mg once daily plus peginterferon alpha-2a (PegIFN alpha-2a) and ribavirin (RBV) for 12 Weeks (Wks) followed by PegIFN alpha-2a (P) and RBV (R) until Week 24 (PR24). Treatment was to be stopped at Week 24 for participants who achieved HCV RNA \< 25 IU/mL detectable or undetectable at Week 4 and undetectable HCV RNA at Week 12. Other participants continued PR until Week 48 (PR48).
PBO 12Wks PR48
Participants were given placebo (PBO) once daily plus peginterferon alpha-2a (PegIFN alpha-2a) and ribavirin (RBV) for 12 Weeks (Wks) followed by PegIFN alpha-2a (P) and RBV (R) until Week 48 (PR 48).

Timeframe: Across Weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12

Population: The intent-to-treat population (defined as all participants who were randomized and received at least one dose of study medication) was used for all analyses.

The table below shows the mean (standard deviation) values for the CL of TMC435.To calculate the mean CL for all participants in the study, CL values were first derived for each participant at each visit and then a median CL value calculated across visits for each participant. The median CL value for each participant was used to calculate the mean CL for all participants in the study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 60 and Week 72

Population: The intent-to-treat population (defined as all participants who were randomized and received at least one dose of study medication) was used for all analyses.

Study participants completed FSS questionnaires during study visits before treatment began and throughout treatment and follow-up to rate the severity and impact of fatigue they experienced in the preceding 2 weeks on their daily lives. FSS total scores are the average of nine questions with a range from 1 \[no fatigue\] to 7 \[worst possible fatigue\]. An area under the curve (AUC) analysis compared the overall severity of fatigue in each treatment group from baseline to Week 72. The null hypothesis was that there would be no difference between the treatment arms in the amount of fatigue participants experienced throughout the study resulting in equal AUC from baseline to Week 72 (AUC72) for FSS total scores. The Table below shows the lease squares (LS) mean estimates of AUC at Week 72 (as well as at Week 60) and the statistical comparison between treatment groups.

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 60 and Week 72

Population: The intent-to-treat population (defined as all participants who were randomized and received at least one dose of study medication) was used for all analyses.

Impairment in overall work productivity was measured using the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI): Hepatitis C questionnaire completed by participants during study visits throughout the study. WPAI Overall Productivity Scores ranged from 0% to 100% (higher WPAI scores indicated greater impairment in productivity). An area under the curve (AUC) analysis compared the overall WPAI Overall Work Productivity Scores in each treatment group from Baseline to Week 72. The null hypothesis was that there would be no difference between the treatment arms in the WPAI Overall Work Productivity Scores from Baseline to Week 72.

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 60 and Week 72

Population: The intent-to-treat population (defined as all participants who were randomized and received at least one dose of study medication) was used for all analyses.

Impairment in daily activity was measured using the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI): Hepatitis C questionnaire, Question 6. Scores ranged from 0 (no effect on activities) to 10 (completely prevented me from doing my daily activities). An area under the curve (AUC) analysis compared the impairment in daily activity scores in each treatment group from Baseline to Week 72. The null hypothesis was that there would be no difference between the treatment arms in impairment in daily activity scores from Baseline to Week 72.

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 60 and Week 72

Population: Analysis Population Description: The intent-to-treat population (defined as all participants who were randomized and received at least one dose of study medication) was used for all analyses.

Time missed from work in hours because of HCV infection or its treatment was assessed by measuring the change from baseline in the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI): Hepatitis C questionnaire Absenteeism score (time missed from work, question #2). The number of hours missed from work because of HCV was divided by the total number of hours supposed to work, and expressed as a percentage. An area under the curve (AUC) analysis compared the WPAI absenteeism scores in each treatment group from Baseline to Week 72. The null hypothesis was that there would be no difference between the treatment arms WPAI absenteeism scores from Baseline to Week 72.
