E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
• Part A: To evaluate the safety and tolerability (as measured by the frequency of SAEs, dose reductions and discontinuations due to AEs) through end of treatment (maximum of 48 weeks) plus 30 days of pegIFNλ administered with RBV + a single direct antiviral agent (DAA) (BMS-790052 or BMS-650032)
• Part B: To evaluate the safety and tolerability (as measured by the frequency of SAEs, dose reductions and discontinuations due to AEs) through end of treatment (maximum of 48 weeks) plus 30 days of pegIFNλ administered with or without RBV + 2 DAA (BMS-790052 and BMS-650032)
• To describe the antiviral activity as determined by the proportion of HCV genotype 1 subjects with 24-week sustained virologic response (SVR24) for Part A and Part B |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To describe the antiviral activity as determined by the proportion of HCV genotype 1 subjects with PDR for Part A or Part B
• To assess serum HCV RNA levels, as measured by the Roche COBAS Taqman test version 2
• To describe the antiviral activity as determined by the proportion of HCV genotype 1 subjects with SVR4 and the proportion with SVR12 for Part A and Part B
• To investigate the relationship between pegIFNλ and BMS-650032 or
BMS-790052 exposure and antiviral responses
• To describe DAA-resistant variants associated with virologic failure
+ Exploratory Objectives:
• To investigate the effect on patient reported outcomes (PROs) of
repeat dosing with pegIFNλ in combination with DAAs ± RBV
• To investigate the relationship between PD biomarkers and clinical
responses to pegIFNλ
• To investigate the association of host genetic factors with clinical
responses to treatment with pegIFNλ
• To evaluate the immunogenicity of pegIFNλ |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Intensive Pharmacokinetics (PK) sub study - see section 5.5 of the study Protocol.
In the PK sub-study group, Cmax, Tmax, Cmin, AUC(TAU) will be determined at Dose 5 (Study Visit Week 4): 0 - 12 h for BMS-650032, 0 - 24 h for BMS-790052, and 0 - 168 h for pegIFNλ and pegIFNα-2a. The number of subjects for the PK sub-studies will be 8 per cohort in Part A and 4 per cohort in Part B, respectively.
Frequency of genotypic substitutions associated with virologic failure will be summarized by treatment regimen. |

2) Serum HCV RNA levels as measured by the Roche COBAS Taqman test version 2, over time (Days 1, 3, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, and end of treatment [Week 16, 24 or 48 depending on treatment assignment]);
3) Proportion of subjects with undetectable HCV RNA over time (Days 1,3, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, and end of treatment [Week 16, 24 or 48 depending on treatment assignment]);
4)Proportion of subjects with 12-week sustained virologic response (SVR12),
defined as undetectable HCV RNA at end of treatment (maximum of 48 weeks)
and follow-up Week 12;
5)Proportion of subjects with 4-week sustained virologic response (SVR4), defined as undetectable HCV RNA at end of treatment (maximum of 48 weeks) and follow-up Week 4
6) Time to viral clearance, defined as an absence of detectable HCV RNA;
7) Proportion of subjects with either a 2-log or greater decrease in HCV
RNA levels from baseline or undetectable levels of HCV RNA at Weeks 2,
4 and 12;
8) Proportion of subjects with viral breakthrough, defined as confirmed > 1 log(10) increase in HCV RNA over nadir or confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ after confirmed undetectable HCV RNA while on treatment;
9) Proportion of subjects with undetectable relapse, defined as HCV RNA at the end of treatment followed bydetectable levels of HCV RNA in any follow-up visit window. Detectable measurements should be confirmed with 2 weeks of receipt of the initial HCV RNA result. |
