A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of ABT-450/Ritonavir/ABT-267; (ABT-267 Also Known as Ombitasvir) and ABT-333 (Also Known as Dasabuvir) Coadministered With Ribavirin (RBV) in Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotype 1-infected Adults With Compensated Cirrhosis

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ABT-450/ritonavir/ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267; ABT-450 also known as paritaprevir; ABT-267 also known as ombitasvir) and ABT-333 (also known as dasabuvir) coadministered with ribavirin (RBV) in hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1-infected adults with compensated cirrhosis.

Full Title of Study: “A Randomized, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of ABT-450/Ritonavir/ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267) and ABT-333 Coadministered With Ribavirin (RBV) in Adults With Genotype 1 Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection and Cirrhosis (TURQUOISE-II)”

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: Randomized
    • Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: None (Open Label)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: January 2014

Detailed Description

During the treatment period of the study, participants received treatment with ABT-450/ritonavir/ABT-267 and ABT-333 coadministered with RBV for either 12 or 24 weeks. Upon completing the treatment period or premature discontinuation of the treatment period, participants entered a 48-week post-treatment period.

Interventions

  • Drug: ABT-450/r/ABT-267, ABT-333
    • Tablet; ABT-450 coformulated with ritonavir and ABT-267; ABT-333 tablet
  • Drug: Ribavirin (RBV)
    • Capsule

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333, plus RBV for 12 weeks
    • ABT-450/r/ABT-267 (150/100/25 mg once daily) and ABT-333 (250 mg twice daily), plus weight-based ribavirin (RBV; 1,000 mg/day if <75 kg or 1,200 mg/day if ≥75 kg, divided twice daily) for 12 weeks
  • Experimental: ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333, plus RBV for 24 weeks
    • ABT-450/r/ABT-267 (150/100/25 mg once daily) and ABT-333 (250 mg twice daily), plus weight-based ribavirin (RBV; 1,000 mg/day if <75 kg or 1,200 mg/day if ≥75 kg, divided twice daily) for 24 weeks

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment
    • Time Frame: 12 weeks after the last actual dose of study drug
    • The percentage of participants with sustained virologic response (plasma Hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid [HCV RNA] level less than the lower limit of quantitation [< LLOQ]) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

Secondary Measures

  • Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment in the 24-week Arm Compared to the 12-week Arm
    • Time Frame: 12 weeks after the last actual dose of study drug
    • A sustained virologic response is defined as plasma Hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) less than the lower limit of quantification (< LLOQ) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
  • Percentage of Participants in Each Arm With On-treatment Virologic Failure During the Treatment Period
    • Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1), and Treatment Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, and 24
    • Virologic failure during treatment was defined as rebound (confirmed HCV RNA greater than or equal to the lower limit of quantitation [≥ LLOQ] after HCV RNA < LLOQ during treatment, or confirmed increase from the lowest value post baseline in HCV RNA [2 consecutive HCV RNA measurements > 1 log(subscript)10(subscript) IU/mL above the lowest value post baseline] at any time point during treatment), or fail to suppress (HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ persistently during treatment with at least 6 weeks [≥ 36 days] of treatment).
  • Percentage of Participants With Virologic Relapse After Treatment
    • Time Frame: within 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug
    • Participants were considered to have virologic relapse after treatment if they had confirmed quantifiable plasma Hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) ≥ lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) between the end of treatment and 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug among participants who completed treatment with HCV RNA < LLOQ at the end of treatment.
