Safety And Efficacy Of Oral PF-4136309 In Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C Infection And Abnormal Liver Enzymes

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
Hepatitis C, Chronic
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT01226797
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the effect of PF-04136309 in patients with chronic hepatitic C virus infection and abnormal liver enzymes.

Detailed Description

Study recruitment was stopped on Dec 15, 2011 due to difficulty in enrolling the targeted number of patients. Subjects currently enrolled into the study will complete the study as per protocol. There were no safety concerns involved in the decision to stop enrollment. The new anticipated Last Subject Last Visit (LSLV) is February 2012.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With a Response in Serum Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Level at Week 4Week 4

Responder was defined as a participant who experienced reduction in ALT of greater than or equal to (\>=) 30 percent (%) of the baseline value. Baseline ALT value was defined as mean of measurements collected at screening visits 1 and 2 and pre-dose Day 1. ALT levels were determined at central lab.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Serum ALT at BaselineBaseline

Baseline ALT level was defined as the mean of measurements collected on Screening visits 1 and 2 and pre-dose Day 1.

Percentage of Participants With a Response in Serum Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) Level From Baseline at Week 4Week 4

AST responder status was defined as a reduction in AST \>= 30% of the baseline value and or normalization. Baseline AST level was defined as the mean of measurements collected on screening visit 1 and pre-dose Day 1. AST levels were determined at central lab.

Change From Baseline in Serum ALT at Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4

Baseline ALT value was defined as mean of measurements collected at screening visits 1 and 2 and pre-dose Day 1.

Change From Baseline in Serum AST at Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4

Baseline AST level was defined as the mean of measurements collected on screening visit 1 and pre-dose Day 1.

Serum AST at BaselineBaseline

Baseline AST level was defined as the mean of measurements collected on screening visit 1 and pre-dose Day 1.

Change From Baseline in Methacetin Breath Test (BreathID) at Weeks 1 and 4Baseline, Weeks 1 and 4

After drinking 13ˆC-methacetin, participants breath was collected using a BreathID® collection system for approximately 60 minutes and the ratio of 13ˆCO2:12ˆCO2 were determined to monitor the function of the liver. Results to be reported in ratio.

Change From Baseline in Enhanced Liver Fibrosis Test (ELF) at Week 4Baseline, Week 4

Markers of fibrosis assessed in the ELF test comprise hyaluronic acid (HA), tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1), and amino terminal peptide of pro-collagen III (PIIINP). The HA ranges from 0 to 1000 in ng/mL; the TIMP-1 ranges from 0 to 3000 ng/mL; and the PIIINP tissue ranges from 0 to 151 in nanograms/milliliter (ng/mL). ELF algorithm calculates a discriminant score (DS) specified by DS = -7.412 plus (+) 0.681 times (\*)ln(HA)+ 0.494 \* ln(TIMP1)+ 0.775 \* ln(PIIINP). Results to be reported in discriminant score.

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of PF-04136309Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 hours post-dose on Day 28

Cmax was defined as maximum observed plasma concentration of PF-04136309.

Plasma Decay Half-Life (t1/2) of PF-04136309Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 hours post-dose on Day 28

Plasma decay half-life was the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by one half.

Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to End of Dosing Interval (AUCtau) of PF-04136309Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 hours post-dose on Day 28

AUCtau was defined as area under the concentration curve from time zero to end of dosing interval of PF-04136309.

Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of PF-04136309Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 hours post-dose on Day 28

Tmax was defined as time to reach maximum observed plasma concentration of PF-04136309.

Change From Baseline in Phosphorylated Extracellular Signal- Regulated Kinase (p-ERK) Levels at Week 2 and 4Baseline, Week 2 and 4

p-ERK is a biomarker used to assess bioavailability of PF-04136309. Baseline p-ERK level defined as the last pre-dose measurement.

Baseline p-ERKBaseline

p-ERK is a biomarker used to assess bioavailability of PF-04136309. Baseline p-ERK level defined as the last pre-dose measurement.
