Results Overview

The table below shows the percentage of participants in each treatment group with an SVR12 defined as participants with undetectable plasma Hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) at the end of treatment (Week 24 or 48) who also had undetectable plasma HCV RNA 12 weeks after the last dose of treatment (Week 36 or 60). NOTE: All outcome measures reported in this study are "Exploratory;" not "Primary" as indicated (refer to Limits and Caveats).

Participant Flow

The study was conducted between 01-Apr-2011 to 20-Nov-2012 and recruited participants with chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection from 14 study centers in Japan. A total of 79 participants with chronic genotype 1 HCV infection were randomized and started treatment; 65 completed the study.

Participants with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who were treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced (prior relapsers or nonresponders to interferon-based therapy) were assigned to 1 of 3 groups and received TMC435 100 mg/day for 12 weeks coadministered with PegIFNa-2b + ribavirin until Week 24 or Week 48.

Participants received TMC435 100 mg once daily with PegIFNa-2b and ribavirin (PR) for 12 weeks (Wks), followed by PR until Week 24 or Week 48. Treatment was to be stopped at Week 24 in participants who achieved plasma hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels \<1.2 log10 IU/mL detectable or undetectable at Week 4, and undetectable plasma HCV RNA levels at Week 12. All other participants continued PR until Week 48.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 24 or 48

Population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) consisted of all participants who received at least one dose of study drug during the study except for those who did not meet the major eligibility criteria for the study and participants who did not have efficacy data available after treatment with study medication.

The table below shows the percentage of participants in each treatment group who met RGT criteria (ie, who had plasma levels of hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid \[HCV RNA\] \<1.2 log10 IU/mL detectable/undetectable at Week 4 and \<1.2 log 10 IU/mL undetectable at Week 12) and completed treatment with PegIFNα-2b and RBV at Week 24. Participants in the TMC435 Treatment-Naïve and TMC435 Prior Relapser treatment groups not meeting RGT criteria continued treatment with PegIFNα-2a and RBV to Week 48 (does not apply to the TMC435 Non-responder treatment group because the specified treatment duration was 48 weeks and RGT criteria was not assessed at Week 24). NOTE: All outcome measures reported in this study are "Exploratory;" not "Primary" as indicated (refer to Limits and Caveats).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Overall (Up to Week 12)

Population: Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis was performed in the PK population, defined as all participants from whom sparse blood samples were drawn and who received at least 1 dose of study medication.

The table below shows the median (range) AUC24h values for TMC435 for all participants in each TMC435 treatment group who received TMC435 for up to 12 weeks. "Overall" is the median exposure estimate using all available data for each participant in the study.
