Efficacy and Safety of BI 201335 (Faldaprevir) in Combination With Pegylated Interferon-alpha and Ribavirin in Treatment-Experienced Genotype 1 Hepatitis C Infected Patients (STARTverso 3)

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Hepatitis C, Chronic
Interventions
Drug: Pegylated Interferon-alpha (IFN)
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT01358864
Lead Sponsor
Boehringer Ingelheim
Brief Summary

The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of BI 201335 given for 12 or 24 weeks in combination with PegIFN/RBV given for 48 weeks as compared to PegIFN/RBV alone in chronic GT-1 hepatitis C virus infected patients who failed a prior PegIFN/RBV treatment.
