Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of TMC435 plus pegylated interferon alpha-2a (PegIFNα- 2a) and ribavirin (RBV) triple therapy in hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype-1 infected participants, co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus- 1 (HIV-1). To evaluate the proportion of participants with sustained virologic response (SVR) 12 weeks after the planned end of treatment (SVR12).
    Protection of trial subjects
    Safety and tolerability were evaluated throughout the study by monitoring of adverse events (AEs), Performing laboratory tests, measurement of vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG) and performing physical examinations throughout the study.

    Participants On HAART (n=93) and Not on HAART (n=13) were given TMC435 150 mg once daily plus peginterferon alfa-2a (PegIFN alfa-2a) and ribavirin (RBV) for 12 Weeks (Wks) followed by PegIFN alfa-2a (P) and RBV (R) until Week 24/48 (PR24/48). Treatment was to be stopped at Week 24 for HCV treatment-naïve and prior HCV relapsers who met the response guided therapy criteria, and who did not have cirrhosis. All prior HCV non-responders (null and partial), Participants with cirrhosis, and HCV treatment-naïve and prior HCV relapsers who did not meet the response guided therapy criteria had a 48-week treatment period.

    Number of Participants Reporting Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)
    End point description
    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between administration of study drug and up to Day 126 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state.

    Reporting group description
    Participants On HAART (n=93) and Not on HAART (n=13) were given TMC435 150 mg once daily plus peginterferon alfa-2a (PegIFN alfa-2a) and ribavirin (RBV) for 12 Weeks (Wks) followed by PegIFN alfa-2a (P) and RBV (R) until Week 24/48 (PR24/48). Treatment was to be stopped at Week 24 for HCV treatment-naïve and prior HCV relapsers who met the response guided therapy criteria, and who did not have cirrhosis. All prior HCV non-responders (null and partial), subjects with cirrhosis, and HCV treatment-naïve and prior HCV relapsers who did not meet the response guided therapy criteria had a 48-week treatment period.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    19 Jan 2012
    The amendment was created to implement the changes to the protocol based on the feedback from the Health Authorities, mainly on primary efficacy endpoint for ongoing and future TMC435 Phase III trials could be changed from SVR24 to SVR12. SVR24 became a secondary endpoint.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
