Completed
- Conditions
- HCV (Genotype 1)
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT01250366

- Bristol-Myers Squibb
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Multiple Ascending Oral Doses of INX-08189 in Chronically-infected Genotype 1 HCV, Treatment-naïve Subjects.
- Detailed Description
This is a multi-center, sequential-cohort, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose, 7-day treatment study in chronically-infected genotype 1 HCV, treatment-naïve subjects.
Primary Objectives include:
Safety
• to evaluate the safety of ascending oral doses of INX-08189 given once a day for seven (7) days in chronically-infected genotype 1 HCV, treatment-naïve subjects
Pharmacokinetic
• to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of multiple ascending oral doses of INX-08189 in chronically-infected genotype 1 HCV, treatment-naïve subjects
Pharmacodynamic
• to evaluate the relationship between the metrics of the reduction from baseline in serum HCV RNA and PK parameters of INX-08189 and the metabolite INX-08032
Efficacy
• to measure the maximal reduction in plasma HCV RNA by ascending oral dose level of INX-08189 given once a day for seven (7) days in chronically-infected genotype 1 HCV, treatment-naïve subjects

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Safety will be evaluated in an integrated way on the basis of the Adverse Event profiles, changes in laboratory values (serum chemistry, hematology and urinalysis), ECG data, and vital signs, viral resistance testing and results of Physical Exams. periodically over 14 days PK parameters following administration of INX-08189 will be determined using concentration data obtained via the assay of INX-08189 and INX-08032 in plasma, and the analysis of INX-08032 in urine periodically over 14 days The primary efficacy outcome is the maximum change from baseline in HCV RNA following 7 days of dosing. 7 days
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary efficacy outcome measures include the change in HCV RNA over time during the seven days of dosing and during the follow-up period thereafter. Additionally, viral load changes will be compared across the two genotypes 1a and 1b. 14 days
