NCT01215643

Brief Summary

The study is to investigate whether alisporivir (ALV; DEB025) alone or in combination with either ribavirin (RBV) or peginterferon alfa-2a (PEG) is more efficient compared to standard of care (PEG+RBV) in treatment-naïve participants with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 2 and 3. In addition, triple therapy with DEB025 plus standard of care will be applied to participants not achieving rapid viral response (RVR) in the different arms.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants With Rapid Viral Response (RVR) After 4 Weeks of Treatment < the Limit of Quantification (RVR4LOQ)

    RVR4LOQ was defined as RVR \[serum hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) \< the limit of quantification (LOQ), i.e., \< 25 IU/mL\], after 4 weeks of treatment.

    after 4 weeks of treatment

Secondary Outcomes (17)

  • Percentage of Participants With RVR After 4 Weeks of Treatment < the Limit of Detection (RVR4LOD)

    after 4 weeks of treatment

  • Percentage of Participants With RVR4LOQ and RVR4LOD (Genotype 2)

    after 4 weeks of treatment

  • Percentage of Participants With RVR4LOQ and RVR4LOD (Genotype 3)

    after 4 weeks of treatment

  • Percentage of Participants With Complete Early Viral Response (cEVR) After 12 Weeks of Treatment (cEVR12LOQ and cEVR12LOD)

    after 12 weeks of treatment

  • Percentage of Participants With cEVR12LOQ and cEVR12LOD (Genotype 2)

    after 12 weeks of treatment

  • +12 more secondary outcomes
