研究概览
简要总结
This is a two-part study of grazoprevir (MK-5172) + elbasvir (MK-8742) in Japanese participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 (GT1). Part I is a dose-finding study; in Part II, participants will be randomly assigned to receive grazoprevir at the dose determined in Part I in combination with elbasvir. The primary study hypothesis is that the percentage of treatment-naïve participants in the Immediate Treatment Arm of Part II who achieve sustained viral response at 12 weeks after the end of all treatment (SVR12) will be greater than the reference rate of 75%. A separate study arm for cirrhotic participants will also be included in Part II; these participants will receive grazoprevir at the determined dose in combination with elbasvir.
详细描述
In Part 1, HCV GT1 participants are randomized into one of two arms: 50 mg grazoprevir plus 50 mg elbasvir for 12 weeks during the double blinded (DB) period followed by 24 weeks of follow-up (FU) during an open-label (OL) period [Arm 1]; or 100 mg grazoprevir plus 50 mg elbasvir for 12 weeks during the DB followed by 24 weeks of FU during the OL [Arm 2]. Unblinding will occur after all participants complete FU Week 4 at which time the grazoprevir dose will be selected.
In Part 2, non-cirrhotic HCV GT1 participants and GT1 participants with compensated liver cirrhosis all receive the selected dose of grazoprevir (50 mg or 100 mg from Part 1) with 50 mg elbasvir for 12 weeks. Non-cirrhotic GT1 participants are randomized to receive either a) 12 weeks of active treatment immediately during the DB with 24 weeks of FU in the OL [Arm 1/Immediate Arm] or b) placebo for 12 weeks with 4 weeks of follow-up during the DB followed by 12 weeks of active treatment and 24 weeks of follow-up during the OL [Arm 2/Deferred Arm]. All cirrhotic participants [Arm 3/Cirrhotic] receive the selected dose immediately for 12 weeks during the DB with 24 weeks of FU during the OL.
Safety analyses for Part 1 and Part 2 arms will focus on the 12 week treatment phase plus the first 4 FU weeks. For the Part 2 Deferred Arm this will include the initial 12 week placebo treatment and first 4 weeks of FU. Efficacy analyses for Parts 1 and 2 will evaluate active treatment only (Weeks 1-12 for all arms except for Part 2 Deferred Arm which is weeks 16-28).
Part 1:
50 mg grazoprevir + 50 mg elbasvir treatment for 12 weeks, 24 weeks follow-up (Arm 1) 100 mg grazoprevir + 50 mg elbasvir treatment for 12 weeks, 24 weeks follow-up (Arm 2)

结局指标
主要结局
Part 2: Percentage of Treatment-naïve Participants in the Immediate Treatment Arm Achieving Sustained Viral Response at 12 Weeks After The End of All Treatment (SVR12)
时间窗: 12 weeks after end of all therapy in Part 2 (Study Week 24 of Part 2)
Blood was drawn from each participant to assess Hepatitis C Virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) plasma levels using the Roche COBAS® Taqman quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay, v2.0, which had a lower limit of quantification (LLoQ) of 1.2 Log IU/mL (15 IU/mL) and a lower limit of detection (LLoD) below 15 IU/ml (no specific value). SVR12 was defined as undetectable HCV RNA (target not detected) at 12 weeks after the end of all study therapy. The Clopper-Pearson method was used to construct 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the SVR12 rate. The lower limit of the 95% CI was compared to the reference rate of 75%; a lower CI limit that was higher than the reference rate would confirm the primary hypothesis and indicate that that the treatment combination was efficacious. As pre-specified in the protocol, only the Immediate Treatment Arm of Part 2 (treatment naïve participants) was included in the primary efficacy analysis.
Part 1: Percentage of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE) During Treatment and First 4 Follow-Up Weeks
时间窗: Up to 4 weeks post last dose in Part 1 (Up to total of 16 weeks)
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, was also an AE. The primary safety evaluation was limited to the initial treatment period through Follow-up Week 4 (FUWK4).
Part 1: Percentage of Participants That Discontinued Treatment Due to an AE
时间窗: Up to Study Week 12 in Part 1
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, was also an AE. The primary safety evaluation was limited to the initial treatment period through FUWK4.
Part 2: Percentage of Participants Experiencing an AE During Initial Treatment and First 4 Follow-Up Weeks
时间窗: Up to 4 weeks following initial treatment in Part 2 (Up to total of 16 weeks)
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, was also an AE. The primary safety evaluation was limited to the initial treatment period and first 4 follow-up weeks, and the primary safety statistical analysis compared the percentage of participants with events between the Part 2 Immediate Treatment Arm and the Part 2 Deferred Treatment Arm while receiving placebo.
