Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of telaprevir administered as 750 mg every 8 hours (q8h) in combination with pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN)-alfa-2a and ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced Russian participants with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an open-label (all persons know the study drug assignment), multicenter study in treatment-naïve (participant did not receive any previous treatment for the treatment of hepatitis C) and treatment-experienced (participant did receive previous treatment for hepatitis C) Russian participants with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C. After a screening period of approximately 4 weeks, participants will be treated for 12 weeks with telaprevir 750 mg every 8 hours in combination with Peg-IFN-alfa-2a and RBV followed by 12 or 36 weeks of treatment with Peg-IFN-alfa-2a and RBV alone depending on their liver disease status, response to previous treatment and individual virologic response during treatment in this study. After the treatment period, there is a follow-up phase of at least 12 weeks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treatment-naïve

Treatment naïve participants will receive telaprevir 750 mg 8 hourly for 12 weeks in combination with Peg-IFN alfa-2a 180 microgram weekly and RBV 1000 - 1200 mg daily (dependent on weight) for 24 or 48 weeks. Total treatment duration will be based on participant's prior treatment status, liver disease status, and individual ontreatment virologic response in this study.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Telaprevir

Intervention Type DRUG

Telaprevir Type = exact number, unit = mg, number = 750, form = tablet, route = oral. Telaprevir 750 mg (2 oral tablets) is taken every 8 hours for 12 weeks

Pegylated-interferon-alfa-2a

Intervention Type DRUG

Pegylated-interferon-alfa-2a type = exact number, unit = microgram, number = 180, form = injection, route = subcutaneous. 180 microgram (µg) per week, subcutaneous injection, for 24 or 48 weeks

Ribavirin

Intervention Type DRUG

Ribavirin Type = exact, number = 1000 or 1200, unit = mg, form = tablet, route = oral. 1000mg (if participant's weight is \< 75kg) or 1200mg (if participant's weight is \>= 75kg) per day for 24 or 48 weeks.

Treatment-experienced

Treatment-experienced participants received telaprevir 750 mg 8 hourly for 12 weeks in combination with Peg-IFN alfa-2a 180 microgram weekly and RBV 1000 - 1200 mg daily (dependent on weight) for 24 or 48 weeks. Total treatment duration will be based on participant's prior treatment status, liver disease status, and individual on-treatment virologic response in this study.

Pegylated-interferon-alfa-2a type = exact number, unit = microgram, number = 180, form = injection, route = subcutaneous. 180 microgram (µg) per week, subcutaneous injection, for 24 or 48 weeks

Ribavirin

Intervention Type DRUG

Ribavirin Type = exact, number = 1000 or 1200, unit = mg, form = tablet, route = oral. 1000mg (if participant's weight is \< 75kg) or 1200mg (if participant's weight is \>= 75kg) per day for 24 or 48 weeks.
