NCT00305383

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the rapid virologic response (RVR) at combination therapy (CT) Week 4 between groups receiving a standard combination peginterferon alfa-2b/viramidine dosing regimen versus a cohort that receives 4 weeks of viramidine monotherapy prior to the start of peginterferon alfa-2b/viramidine combination therapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Efficacy: The proportion of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA undetectable or with at least a 2-log drop from baseline at CT Week 4 in the viramidine pre-load group versus the viramidine standard dosing group.

  • Safety: Evaluation of adverse events (AEs).

  • Safety: Physical exams

  • Safety: Vital signs

  • Safety: Laboratory tests

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Efficacy: HCV RNA Response at CT Week 12, 24, end of treatment and at follow-up Week 24.
