Keywords: Compensated Cirrhosis Hepatitis C Hepatitis C Genotype 4 Chronic Hepatitis C
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 184
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The purpose of this study in HCV genotype 4-infected participants with compensated cirrhosis is to assess the safety and to compare the percentage of participants achieving a 12-week sustained virologic response (SVR12), \[HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) \< lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) 12 weeks following treatment\], to a clinically relevant threshold \[based on SVR rates for HCV genotype 4-infected participants treated with pegylated interferon (pegIFN)/RBV\].

Detailed description:
This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter study evaluating the safety and efficacy of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir coadministered with RBV for 12, 16, or 24 weeks in HCV genotype 4 (GT4)-infected participants with compensated cirrhosis who are either treatment-naïve or who had previously received only IFN/RBV treatment for HCV.

The study also enrolled HCV GT4-infected participants with compensated cirrhosis who had previously experienced virologic failure with either SOF/pegIFN/RBV or sofosbuvir (SOF)/RBV treatment. These participants were treated with ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir coadministered with RBV for 24 weeks in this study.

This study was divided into 2 parts with approximately 184 total participants. Part I included participants who were randomized to receive either 12 or 16 weeks of treatment and Part II included participants who received 24 weeks of treatment. Enrollment into Part II opened once randomization in Part I was completed.

Arms:
arm 1: Ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir (25/150/100 mg) and Ribavirin dosed for 12 weeks for genotype 4 treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced with IFN/RBV. arm 2: Ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir (25/150/100 mg) and Ribavirin dosed for 16 weeks for genotype 4 treatment-naive or treatment-experienced with IFN/RBV. arm 3: Ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir (25/150/100 mg) and Ribavirin dosed for 24 weeks for genotype 4 treatment-naive and treatment-experienced with IFN/RBV. arm 4: Ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir (25/150/100 mg) and Ribavirin dosed for 24 weeks for genotype 4 SOF/pegIFN/RBV or SOF/RBV treatment-experienced.
