Trial Outcomes & Findings for Telaprevir, Peg-IFN-alfa-2a, and RBV in Treatment-Experienced Black/African American and Non-Black/African American Subjects With Genotype 1 Chronic Hepatitis C (NCT NCT01467492)

NCT ID: NCT01467492

Last Updated: 2015-08-03

Results Overview

SVR12 was defined as an undetectable Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Levels (\<lower limit of quantification) at 12 weeks after last actual dose of study drug. The plasma HCV RNA level was measured using Roche TaqMan HCV RNA assay. The lower limit of quantification was 25 international units per milliliter (IU/mL).

Participant Flow

Study included Prior Relapser (prior HCV treatment with pegylated interferon alfa/ribavirin \[Peg-IFN/RBV\] and experienced viral relapse) and Prior Null/Partial Responder (prior HCV treatment with Peg-IFN/RBV and had null/partial response) participants.

Efficacy analyses were reported as per Race (Black/Non-Black) (reporting arms) and also separately as per prior response (in categories) (Prior Relapser, Prior Null Responder, Prior Partial Responder as well as for Total Participants), unless otherwise specified.

The plasma HCV RNA level was measured using Roche TaqMan HCV RNA assay. The lower limit of quantification was 25 IU/mL. Virologic breakthrough on treatment was defined as an increase of at least 1 log10 from nadir or confirmed detectable HCV RNA (\>=lower limit of quantification) after undetectable HCV RNA (\<lower limit of quantification). Percentages are calculated by using total number in FA set as denominator, in each category.

On treatment virologic failure was defined as meeting any futility rule or completing assigned treatment duration and having detectable HCV RNA at EOT. The plasma HCV RNA level was measured using Roche TaqMan HCV RNA assay. The lower limit of quantification was 25 IU/mL. Futility rules: 1) Virologic breakthrough (at least 1 log10 increase from nadir or confirmed detectable HCV RNA after undetectable HCV RNA) from Day 1 through Week 24 or 48 (depending on treatment duration); 2) HCV RNA \>1000 IU/mL during Weeks 4 to 12, inclusive; 3) Detectable HCV RNA after Week 12.

Population: Safety Set.

AE: any untoward medical occurrence in a participant during the study; the event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. This includes any newly occurring event or previous condition that has increased in severity or frequency after the informed consent form is signed. AE includes SAE as well as Non-SAEs. SAE (subset of AE): medical event or condition, which falls into any of the following categories, regardless of its relationship to the study drug: death, life threatening adverse experience, in-patient hospitalization/prolongation of hospitalization, persistent/significant disability or incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, important medical event.

Population: FA Set.

Sequence analysis of the HCV NS3-4A region was performed to monitor telaprevir-resistant variants. HCV RNA was isolated from the plasma, amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and sequenced (sequencing assay limit of detection HCV RNA \>=1000 IU/mL). Results of this outcome measure were to be reported for overall participants instead of by race and by prior response.
