Phase 2

Completed

Conditions: Hepatitis C

Interventions: Drug: Grazoprevir
Drug: Uprifosbuvir
Drug: Ruzasvir
Drug: Elbasvir
Drug: MK-3682B
Drug: Ribavirin (RBV)

Registration Number: NCT02332720

Lead Sponsor: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

Brief Summary: This is a randomized, three-part, parallel-group, open-label trial of grazoprevir (MK-5172) (100 mg) and uprifosbuvir (MK-3682) (300 mg or 450 mg) with either elbasvir (MK-8742) (50 mg) or ruzasvir (MK-8408) (60 mg), and with or without ribavirin (RBV), in treatment-naive (TN) or treatment-experienced (TE) cirrhotic (C) or non-cirrhotic (NC) participants infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (GT) 3, GT4, GT5, or GT6. Part A will consist of 4 arms to evaluate the safety of dose combinations. In Part B, participants will take 2 uprifosbuvir (+) grazoprevir (+) ruzasvir (MK-3682B) fixed dose combination (FDC) tablets once daily (q.d.) by mouth, with or without twice-daily (b.i.d.) RBV (200 mg capsules; weight-based dosing). Participants who relapse following completion of therapy in Part A will be offered the option of retreatment with 16 weeks of uprifosbuvir (+) grazoprevir (+) ruzasvir with RBV in Part C (data obtained from Part C will not be used in the analysis of outcome measures).

Detailed Description: In Part A, study therapy will be administered as separate products, each taken q.d. by mouth. In Part B and Part C, participants will take 2 uprifosbuvir (+) grazoprevir (+) ruzasvir FDC tablets q.d. by mouth; each uprifosbuvir (+) grazoprevir (+) ruzasvir FDC tablet contains grazoprevir 50 mg + uprifosbuvir 225 mg + ruzasvir 30 mg.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Percentage of HCV GT3-infected Participants Achieving Sustained Virologic Response at Follow-up Week 12 (SVR12)	Up to 20 weeks (Part A), up to 28 weeks (Part B)	SVR12 is defined as HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) less than the lower limit of quantification (\<LLOQ, 15 IU/mL) 12 weeks after the end of all study therapy. A4+B4: GT3 NC TN MK-3682B (8 weeks) arm includes both participants from Part A and Part B who received equivalent dose of MK-3682B.
Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE)	Up to 40 weeks	An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. Part C in the table below combines all (eight) participants from the four distinct arms of Part A who relapsed and were subsequently treated with MK-3682B + RBV for 16 weeks.
Number of Participants Who Had Study Drug Discontinued Due to an AE	Up to 16 weeks	An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. Part C in the table below combines all (eight) participants from the four distinct arms of Part A who relapsed and were subsequently treated with MK-3682B + RBV for 16 weeks.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Percentage of GT3-infected Participants Achieving SVR at Follow-up Week 24 (SVR24)	Up to 40 weeks	SVR24 is defined as HCV RNA \<LLOQ of 15 IU/mL 24 weeks after the end of all study therapy. A4+B4: GT3 NC TN MK-3682B (8 weeks) arm includes both participants from Part A and Part B who received equivalent dose of MK-3682B.
