Efficacy and Safety of Combination Grazoprevir (MK-5172) + Elbasvir (MK-8742) + Ribavirin (RBV) in Genotype 2 Hepatitis C Infection (MK-5172-047)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a multi-site, open-label trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of 100 mg of grazoprevir (MK-5172) used in combination with or without 50 mg of elbasvir (MK-8742) and/or ribavirin (RBV) in treating non-cirrhotic treatment-naïve participants with chronic genotype (GT) 2, 4, 5, and 6 hepatitis C infection.
In Part A there is no randomization or stratification; all GT2 participants will be assigned to arm A1. In Part B, all GT2 participants will be assigned to Arm B1 and all participants with GT4, GT5 and GT6 will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either Arm 3 or Arm 4 with stratification by genotype.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks After The End of Study Therapy (SVR12) [12 weeks after end of all therapy (Study Week 24)]
SVR12 was defined as Hepatitis C Virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) <25 IU/mL, either target detected but unquantifiable (TD[u]) or target not detected (TND), at 12 weeks after the end of all study therapy. The percentage of participants with SVR12 and accompanying 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were reported for each treatment arm in the Per-Protocol (PP) Population.
- Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious AEs (SAEs), Drug-Related AEs, Drug-Related SAEs, or Discontinuation of Study Treatment Due to AE During the Treatment Period and First 14 Follow-up Days [Treatment period plus the first 14 days of follow-up (up to 14 weeks)]
AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product/protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product/protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition temporally associated with the use of the product was also an AE. An SAE was an AE that resulted in death, was life threatening, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, resulted in or prolonged an existing inpatient hospitalization, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a cancer, was associated with an overdose, was another important medical event. The investigator determined the relationship of the AE to the treatment as unrelated or possibly, probably, or definitely related.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Mean Time to First Achievement of Undetectable HCV RNA During Treatment [From TW1 until first achievement of undetectable HCV RNA (up to 12 weeks)]
HCV-RNA levels in plasma were measured using the Roche COBAS™ Taqman™ HCV Test (v.2.0) on blood samples drawn from each participant during treatment at TWs 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12. Undetectable HCV RNA (or TND) was defined as below the 9.3 IU/ml limit of detection. Kaplan Meier summary statistics were calculated for each treatment arm in the Full Analysis Set (FAS).
- Percentage of Participants Achieving Undetectable HCV RNA During Treatment By Timepoint [From TW 2 through TW 12 (up to 12 weeks)]
HCV-RNA levels in plasma were measured using the Roche COBAS™ Taqman™ HCV Test (v.2.0) on blood samples drawn from each participant during treatment at TWs 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12. Undetectable HCV RNA (or TND) was defined as below the 9.3 IU/ml limit of detection. The percentage of participants achieving undetectable HCV RNA and accompanying 95% CIs were reported at TW2, TW4, and TW12 for each treatment arm of the PP Population.
- Percentage of Participants Achieving HCV RNA <25 IU/mL During Treatment By Timepoint [From TW 2 through TW 12 (up to 12 weeks)]
HCV-RNA levels in plasma were measured using the Roche COBAS™ Taqman™ HCV Test (v.2.0) on blood samples drawn from each participant during treatment at TWs 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12. The Roche COBAS™ Taqman™ HCV Test (v.2.0) has a lower limit of quantification (LLoQ) of 25 IU/ml and a limit of detection of 9.3 IU/ml. The percentage of participants with HCV RNA levels <25 IU/ml (either TD[u] or TND) and accompanying 95% CIs were reported at TW2, TW4, and TW12 for each treatment arm of the PP Population.
- Percentage of Participants Achieving SVR4 [4 weeks after end of all therapy (Study Week 16)]
SVR4 was defined as HCV RNA <25 IU/mL, either TD(u) or TND, at 4 weeks after the end of all study therapy. The percentage of participants with SVR4 and accompanying 95% CIs were reported for each treatment arm of the PP Population.
- Percentage of Participants Achieving SVR24 [24 weeks after end of all therapy (Study Week 36)]
SVR24 was defined as HCV RNA <25 IU/mL, either TD(u) or TND, at 24 weeks after the end of all study therapy. The percentage of participants with SVR24 and accompanying 95% CIs were reported for each treatment arm of the PP Population.
