简要总结

This is a Phase 3b, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, multi-center, multi-national study of low-dose maintenance Peg interferon alpha-2b (Peg-Intron®) in subjects with human immunodeficiency virus-hepatitis C virus (HIV-HCV) co-infection. The primary objective is to compare at end of study the efficacy of Peg-Intron® monotherapy (0.5 µg/kg subcutaneously once weekly for 24-36 months) versus standard supportive care, using the time to any of the following clinical events (death, decompensation, liver transplant, hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC]) as endpoints.

  • Using silymarin.
  • Positive test at screening for anti-HAV IgM Ab, HBsAg, anti-HBc IgM Ab, or HBeAg.
  • Any cause of liver disease other than chronic hepatitis C.
  • Suspected or having hypersensitivity to interferon.
  • History of liver decompensation status or other evidence of bleeding from esophageal varices, signs of current bleeding, significant ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, jaundice or other conditions consistent with decompensated liver disease.
  • Present with a lesion suspicious for hepatic malignancy on the screening imaging.

  • Known coagulation or hemoglobin diseases.
  • Organ transplant, except corneal or hair transplant.
  • Any known preexisting medical condition that, in the investigator's opinion, could interfere with the subject's participation in and completion of the study, such as major depressive disorder.
  • Active HIV-related opportunistic infection and/or malignancy requiring systemic therapy.
  • Evidence of known severe retinopathy.
  • Subject has not observed the designated washout periods for any of the prohibited medications.
