Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of patients achieving sustained virologic response (SVR) 12 planned

    SVR12 planned is defined as having plasma hepatitis C virus (HCV ) ribonucleic acid (RNA) level less than 25 IU/mL 12 weeks after the last planned dose of study medication.

    Week 60

Secondary Outcomes (17)

  • Number of patients achieving SVR12 planned(c)

    Week 60

  • Number of patients achieving SVR24 planned

    Week 72

  • Number of patients achieving SVR24 planned(c)

Study Arms (1)

Telaprevir+Peg-IFN-alfa-2a+Ribavirin

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will be treated for 12 weeks with telaprevir in combination with Pegylated interferon alfa-2a (Peg-IFN-alfa-2a) and ribavirin followed by 36 weeks of treatment with Peg-IFN-alfa-2a and ribavirin alone.

Drug: TelaprevirDrug: Pegylated interferon alfa-2aDrug: Ribavirin

Interventions

Type=exact number, unit=mg, number=375, form=tablet, route=oral. Patients will receive 2 oral tablets (750 mg) every 8 hours for 12 weeks.

Telaprevir+Peg-IFN-alfa-2a+Ribavirin

Type=exact number, unit=µg, number=180, form=injection, route=subcutaneous. 180 microgram (µg) per week, subcutaneous injection, for 48 weeks.

Telaprevir+Peg-IFN-alfa-2a+Ribavirin

Type=exact number, unit=mg, number=200, form=tablet, route=oral. Starting from 600 mg (3 tablets) per day on Day 1. This dose will become higher or lower based on blood results and the investigators opinion (to a goal of 1000 to 1200 mg/day \[5 to 6 tablets\] based on subject weight), twice daily regimen, for 48 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • First time liver transplant recipient whose primary pre-transplant diagnosis was chronic hepatitis C genotype 1
  • More than 6 months to 10 years post-liver transplant
  • Patient did or did not receive treatment for HCV prior to liver transplantation
  • Patient must agree to have a liver graft biopsy during the screening period unless they had a biopsy within three months of the screening period (for patients between 6 months and one year post transplant) or within six months of the screening period (for patients who are more than one year post transplant)
  • A female patient of childbearing potential and a nonvasectomized male patient who has a female partner of childbearing potential must agree to the use of 2 effective methods of birth control from screening until 6 months (female patient) or 7 months (male patient) after the last dose of ribavirin

You may not qualify if:

  • Patient is currently infected or co-infected with HCV of another genotype than genotype 1
  • Patient received treatment for hepatitis C following liver transplantation
  • Patient has history of decompensated liver disease or shows evidence of significant liver disease in addition to hepatitis C
  • Patient with human immunodeficiency virus or hepatitis B virus co-infection
  • Patient with active malignant disease or history of malignant disease within the past 5 years (with the exception of treated basal cell carcinoma or hepatocellular carcinoma)
