Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this open-label study is to assess the safety, antiviral activity, and pharmacokinetics of 9 subcutaneous injections of miravirsen monotherapy (5 weekly doses over 5 weeks, followed by a further 4 doses once every other week over 7 weeks) over a total of 12 weeks of treatment. The subjects enrolled in this study are chronically infected with HCV genotype 1 and are null responders to treatment with peg IFNα/RBV therapy.

Arms & Interventions
Miravirsen sodium
Miravirsen will be dosed as single subcutaneous injections. Subjects will receive 5 weekly doses at 7 mg/kg then 4 every other week doses at 5 mg/kg.
Intervention: Miravirsen sodium (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The proportion of subjects with sustained virological response 24 weeks after the end of therapy.
Time Frame: 36 weeks
Secondary Outcomes
- The proportion of subjects with a sustained virological response 12 and 48 weeks after the end of therapy.(60 weeks)
- The proportion of subjects with undetectable HCV RNA levels at the end of treatment.(12 weeks)
- Change in HCV RNA levels from baseline throughout the study.(60 weeks)
