- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of boceprevir for 44 weeks, in addition to standard therapy in a cohort of patients with cirrhosis who have failed a previous course of appropriate treatment, defined as at least 12 weeks of therapy antiviral therapy with Peg-interferon and ribavirin;Secondary Objective: 1.safety of Boceprevir when used in combination with SOC in this subset of patients 2.to determine whether lead-in phase may i) better predict SVR in comparison to historical response and ii) identify predictors associated with SVR in poor responders (<1 log10 decay at TW4);Primary end point(s): The achievement of SVR, will be defined as undetectable HCV RNA at Follow-up Wk 24;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: See primary EP
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): Is related to the safety of Boceprevir in addition to the Peg-Interferone and Ribavirin in patients with chronic hepatitis C and cirrhosis;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: See secondary EP
