简要总结
The general aim of this study is to determine if 3 MIU of IFN-α5 in monotherapy, and 1,5 MIU of IFN-α5 combined with 1,5 MIU of IFN- α2b, are safe dose levels as well as to investigate the antiviral efficacy and pharmacodynamics (PD) of such doses and drugs in treatment-experienced HCV patients with genotype 1 chronic infection, after 29 days of treatment. It is also intended to determine pharmacokinetics (PK) of the safe dose achieved of IFN-α5 in monotherapy.

Safe dose level
时间窗: 29 days of treatment
PRIMARY ENDPOINTS OF PHASE I * To determine if 3 MIU of IFN-α5 are well tolerated and if not, to find a safe dose level for IFN-α5. * To determine if 1.5 MIU of IFN-α5 in combination with 1.5 MIU of IFN-α2b (IFN-α5 + IFN-α2b) are well tolerated and if not, to find a safe dose level for the combination of IFN-α5 and IFN-α2b. PRIMARY ENDPOINTS OF PHASE II * To analyze IFN-α5 preliminary antiviral efficacy at the dose of 3 MIU, or the safe dose level identified in Phase I. * Primary safety endpoints: Occurrence of AE (classified into mild, moderate and severe)
