A Study to Evaluate Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection in Cirrhotic Adults With Genotype 1b (GT1b) Infection
A Study to Evaluate Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection in Cirrhotic Adults With Genotype 1b (GT1b) Infection
This was a multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of
 ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir co-administered with ribavirin (RBV) for 12
 weeks in treatment naïve and pegylated-interferon alfa-2a or alfa-2b (pegIFN)/RBV
 treatment-experienced, cirrhotic HCV genotype 1b-infected adults.
The primary objective of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy (the percentage of
 participants achieving a 12-week sustained virologic response (SVR12), [HCV ribonucleic acid
 (RNA) < lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) 12 weeks following treatment]) of co-formulated
 ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/r) and dasabuvir
 co-administered with RBV for 12 weeks in HCV genotype 1b-infected adult participants with
 compensated cirrhosis. The secondary objectives of this study were to assess the number and
 percentage of participants with virologic failure during treatment and the percentage of
 participants with relapse post-treatment.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Chronic hepatitis C, genotype 1b-infection (HCV RNA level greater than 1,000 IU/mL at
 Screening)

 -  Evidence of liver cirrhosis as confirmed by liver biopsy or Fibroscan with Child-Pugh
 score less than or equal to 6 at Screening

 -  Participant had never received antiviral treatment (including pegIFN/RBV) for
 hepatitis C infection (treatment-naïve participant) or had documentation of meeting
 one of the defined categories of a treatment-experienced participants

 -  Absence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as indicated by a negative ultrasound,
 computed tomography (CT) scan, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed within 3
 months prior to screening or a negative ultrasound at screening.

 -  Females must be post-menopausal, of non-child bearing potential or practicing specific
 forms of birth control

 -  Males must have been surgically sterile, or agreed to practice 2 effective methods of
 birth control throughout the course of the study.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Positive screen for hepatitis B Surface antigen or anti-Human Immunodeficiency virus
 antibody

 -  Evidence of current or past Child-Pugh B or C classification

 -  Confirmed presence of hepatocellular carcinoma

 -  Abnormal laboratory tests

 -  Participant who self-reported on average drinking more than 2 drinks per day for
 current drinkers

 -  Previous treatment with a direct acting antiviral agent (DAA) containing regimen

 -  History of solid organ transplant.
