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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    Adult population:
    1. To evaluate the durability of response in subjects who achieved SVR24 in the prior treatment study and at the time of entry into PN017 were HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) lower limit quantification (LLoQ) (either target not detected [TND] or target detected, unquantifiable [TD(u)]).
    2. To evaluate the presence of treatment-emergent antiviral resistance to NS3/4A,NS5A and/or NS5B regions, (as applicable) and determine if there is a reversion to wild-type pattern within the 3-year time frame of this long-term follow-up study (05 5 year time frame for subjects from PN052) in subjects with virologic failure in the prior treatment study and with HCV RNA >/= 1000 IU/mL in Protocol 017.
    3. To evaluate long-term safety.

    Paediatric Population:
    1. To evaluate the persistence of treatment-emergent anti-viral resistance to NS3 and NS5A regions within the 3-year time frame of this long-term follow-up study.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes
    E.2.3.1Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives
    MSD will conduct Future Biomedical Research on DNA (blood) specimens collected during this clinical trial. Such research is for biomarker testing to address emergent questions not described elsewhere in the protocol (as part of the main trial) and will only be conducted on specimens from appropriately consented subjects. The objective of collecting specimens for Future Biomedical Research is to explore and identify biomarkers that inform the scientific understanding of diseases and /or their therapeutic treatments. The overarching goal is to use such information to develop safer, more effective drugs, and/or to ensure that subjects receive the correct dose of the correct drug at the correct time.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Inclusion criteria apply to both adult and paediatric populations unless otherwise noted.
    1. Subjects who previously participated in an HCV treatment study and received GZR in the treatment regimen.
    2. Subject must enroll in PN017 (Visit 1) within 3 months of the last study visit (e.g follow-up week 24) of the prior treatment study, in which they received a GZR containing regimen.
    3. Subject is male or female 3 years of age or older on day of signing informed consent/assent.
    4. Subject or subject’s legally acceptable representative provides written informed
    consent (or written informed assent where applicable). Subjects who have consented
    for the study may also provide consent/assent for Future Biomedical Research (FBR).
    However, the subject may participate in PN017 without consenting/assenting for
    FBR.
    5. Starting with AM 03: Adult subject must have received at least 1 dose of a GZR containing regimen in the prior treatment study and identified as having failed therapy in that study.
    6. Paediatric subject must have received at least 1 dose of a GZR-containing regimen and experienced virologic failure with 1 or more associated treatment-emergent RASs at
    FW12 in PN079.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Exclusion criteria apply to both adult and paediatric populations unless otherwise noted.
    1. Adult subjects: In the opinion of the investigator, if a subject is mentally or legally incapacitated at entry into PN017.
    Paediatric subjects: The subject has significant emotional problems or a clinically
    significant psychiatric disorder that may interfere with participant treatment,
    assessment, or compliance with the protocol.
    2. Subject has received HCV therapy after completion of prior treatment study and before entry into PN017.
    3. Starting with AM 03: subjects who failed therapy due to re-infection, defined as:
    - an HCV RNA sample with a different genotype than the baseline genotype in the
    prior treatment study, or
    - an HCV RNA sample determined to be reinfection by phylogenetic analysis with
    comparison to the baseline sequence in the prior treatment study.
    4. Starting with AM 03: subjects who failed therapy in the prior treatment study and
    received retreatment with HCV therapy.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    For Adult Subjects:
    A primary efficacy endpoint is the persistence of SVR which will be evaluated based upon the time to viral relapse. Viral relapse is defined as any subject who has confirmed HCV RNA > or = LLoQ and was previously <LLoQ at end of follow-up in previous trial. Time to relapse is defined as the time from last dose of therapy taken in previous trial until the date where HCV RNA is > or = LLoQ. The percentage of subjects who remain HCV RNA < LLoQ during the course of this study will also be estimated.

    In subjects with HCV RNA ≥1000IU/mL at entry or during the study period, HCV sequence analysis will be performed to evaluate the presence of RAVs and the persistence of RAVs over time.
