研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine if concentration-controlled ribavirin dosing can achieve a targeted level of plasma exposures and if it appears safe and effective compared with standard weight-based ribavirin dosing. Forty, previously treatment-naive participants with genotype 1 disease will be randomized to receive concentration-guided or standard weight-based ribavirin. Peginterferon alfa 2a,ribavirin, and telaprevir will be provided through the study.

- •baseline absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1000/mm3,
- •platelets < 100,000/mm3,
- •hemoglobin < 12 g/dL for women and < 13 g/dL for men;
- •HIV positive serostatus;
- •HBV positive serostatus;
- •decompensated liver disease (i.e., ascites, history of esophageal variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy);
- •autoimmune hepatitis
- •hemoglobinopathy (e.g., sickle cell anemia, thalassemia)
