The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with Pegylated Interferon Lambda-1a, given in combination with Ribavirin and Daclatasvir for 24 weeks, is as safe and effective as the standard treatment with Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2a + Ribavirin + Telaprevir in subjects who are infected with Chronic Hepatitis C virus genotype 1b and have never received any prior anti-HCV treatment, or who have relapsed after an initial, successful treatment with Pegylated Interferon Alfa + Ribavirin
Name: Peginterferon Lambda-1a
Name: Peginterferon Alfa-2a
Name: Ribavirin
Name: Daclatasvir
Name: Telaprevir
Description: Treatment emergent cytopenic abnormalities [anemia as defined by Hemoglobin (Hb) < 10 g/dL, and/or neutropenia as defined by absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 750/mm3, and or thrombocytopenia as defined by platelets < 50,000/mm3]
Measure: Proportion of subjects who develop treatment emergent cytopenic abnormalities Time: Up to 48 WeeksDescription: SVR24 = Sustained virologic response at post treatment follow-up Week 24
Measure: Proportion of subjects who achieve SVR24 [Hepatitis C virus (HCV) Ribonucleic acid (RNA) < Lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ)] at post-treatment follow-up Week 24 Time: Post treatment follow-up Week 24Description: Psychiatric symptoms (depression, irritability or insomnia)
Measure: Proportion of subjects with the following on-treatment interferon-associated neuropsychiatric symptoms through EOT Time: Maximum of 48 weeksDescription: For each SNP in each candidate gene, allele and genotype frequencies will be summarized by treatment regimen
Measure: Association of Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in Interleukin 28B (IL28B) (including rs12979860) or equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (ENT1) with clinical responses Time: Post-treatment follow-up Week 12Allocation: Randomized
Parallel Assignment
There is one SNP
Association of Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in Interleukin 28B (IL28B) (including rs12979860) or equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (ENT1) with clinical responses.
