- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: To demonstrate that in chronic hepatitis C Genotype 1 patients with previous non-response to peg-IFNa2a/RBV or with previous relapse after peg-IFNa2a/RBV treatment triple therapy with DEB025 leads to a superior cEVR (by Limit of Quantification, LOQ, i.e. HCV RNA < 25 IU/mL) rate as compared to peg-IFN/RBV ;Secondary Objective: To demonstrate that triple therapy with DEB025 plus peg-IFNa2a/RBV variable treatment duration followed by peg-IFN/RBV to complete a total treatment duration of 48 weeks leads to a superior SVR12 (HCV RNA < LOQ at the end of 12 week post-treatment follow-up) rate as compared to peg-IFN/RBV for 48 weeks;Primary end point(s): cEVR (complete early virologic response) i.e. HCV RNA < 25 IU/mL (by Limit of Quantitation, LOQ);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 weeks
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): SVR12: sustained virologic response 12 weeks following cessation of therapy, defined as HCV RNA negative (by LOQ);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 weeks post treatment
