Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy of a human monoclonal antibody against Hepatitis C (MBL-HCV1) combined with telaprevir [part 1: an HCV protease inhibitor] or sofosbuvir [part 2: an Hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase inhibitor] in a 56 day treatment duration in patients undergoing liver transplantation due to chronic HCV infection. There is an option for extended study treatment through 84 days if viral load is undetectable at day 56.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: MBL-HCV1
  • Drug: Telaprevir (Part 1)
  • Drug: Sofosbuvir (Part 2)
Phase 2

Detailed Description

Administration of Intravenous infusions of MBL-HCV1 (50mg/kg) human monoclonal antibody during the first 14 days post-transplantation: three infusions on day 0 (1-4 hours prior to the anhepatic phase, during the anhepatic phase, and 4-12 hours post-reperfusion). Daily infusions on days 1 through 7, weekly infusions on day 14 ± 2, day 21 ± 3, and day 28 ± 3, followed by biweekly infusions on day 42 ± 3 and on day 56 ± 3 if criteria for the stopping rule are not met. For those subjects electing extended treatment, the administration of additional infusions on day 70 ± 3 and day 84 ± 3 will be performed. Subjects receive an oral direct-acting antiviral (telaprevir in Part 1 and sofosbuvir in Part 2) starting no earlier than day 3 post-transplant and no later than day 7; dosing continuing through day 56 unless criteria for the stopping rule are met. Subjects who elect to receive extended study treatment for a total of 12 weeks continue telaprevir in Part 1 or sofosbuvir in Part 2 through day 84 ± 3.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Subjects With Undetectable HCV RNA at Day 56 Post Liver Transplantation [Day 56]

      The primary outcome was to determine if MBL-HCV1 in combination with the oral direct-acting antiviral could reduce HCV viral RNA to undetectable at day 56 post transplant and prevent the new liver from becoming productively infected. Undetectable HCV RNA was defined as the level below the lower limit of detection (LLOD) of an FDA-approved polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. HCV RNA was quantified by PCR (e.g., COBAS®AmpliPrep/ COBAS® TaqMan® HCV Test manufactured by Roche or equivalent) at each study site

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Safety and Tolerability of Study Treatment by Number of Adverse Events Reported [Day 0 start of first infusion through Day 56 or six weeks after last dose of study treatment whichever is later, up to approximately 126 days]

      Adverse events were assessed by targeted medical history, physical examinations and laboratory testing. Abnormal laboratory values constituted adverse events only if they induced clinical signs or symptoms and/or required therapy that was new or enhanced from baseline. Solicited adverse reactions included the occurrence of the following during or immediately after the infusion: arthralgia, chills, dyspnea, fatigue, fever, headache, nausea, hives, or rash. The presence of any of these symptoms (new or worsening from baseline) was documented as an adverse event. In addition, subjects were asked at all scheduled study visits to report any other adverse events. Adverse events were summarized by System Organ Class (SOC) using MedDRA (version 14.1)

    2. Number of Subjects With Undetectable Serum HCV RNA at Study Day 7, 10, 14, 28, 35, 42, 49, 70, 84 and 98 in Liver Transplant Recipients and for Those Subjects Receiving an Additional 4 Weeks of Treatment at Study Day 105, 112 and 126 [Day 7, 10, 14, 28, 35, 42, 49, 70, 84, 98, 105, 112 and 126]

      The number of subjects with undetectable HCV RNA by study visit day was analyzed utilizing a "last value carried forward" (LVCF) strategy so that each study visit day had data from (8 subjects in Part 1 and 2 subjects in Part 2), effectively imputing the information for the subjects who had missing data due to a missed study visit, HCV RNA measured with a non-FDA approved assay, or completion of all required post-treatment study visits. The last recorded HCV RNA status for a subject (detectable vs undetectable) was used for the next missing level (in ascending visit number order) until a new HCV RNA level was recorded at a later visit. Serum HCV RNA was measured by Quantitative RT-PCR using an FDA-approved quantitative assay

    3. Change in Viral Load Between Baseline Pre-transplant HCV RNA Levels and Study Day 7, 10, 14, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 70, 84 and 98 in Liver Transplant Recipients [Baseline pre-transplant and study Day 7, 10, 14, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 70, 84 and 98]

      Serum HCV RNA was measured by quantitative RT-PCR. The change in log 10 IU/mL HCV viral load from baseline was compared with pre-transplant HCV RNA level and evaluated for each subject at each study visit. Change in the level of HCV RNA in serum, log10(IU/mL), is defined as the difference between the level measured at Baseline and the specified time point. If HCV RNA was not detected by the PCR assay, the lower level of detection of the PCR assay was used for the calculation

    4. Number of Participants With HCV Resistance-associated Variants to MBL-HCV1 and Oral Direct-acting Antivirals Before and After Receipt of Study Treatment [Pre-transplant, time of viral rebound (assessed from Day 7-Day 56 of treatment), end of study (up to day 126) in subjects who did not achieve a sustained virologic response (SVR)]

      Conventional sequencing was performed on HCV RNA isolated from a subset of serum samples obtained at baseline, at the time of viral rebound, and at the end of study in subjects who did not achieve a sustained virologic response. The targets of both the MBL-HCV1 antibody (E1/E2 glycoprotein) and telaprevir (NS3) were sequenced. The data displays the number of subjects with > 20% resistance associated variants (RAV) reported for the target MBL-HCV1 and/or Direct-acting Antiviral (DAA)

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Subjects With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) at Week 12 and Week 24 [12 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR12) and 24 weeks after the end of treatment 12 weeks and 24 weeks post-treatment]

      Number of subjects with sustained virologic response (defined as HCV RNA concentration below the limit of detection) at 12 and 24 weeks post-treatment was examined as an exploratory endpoint in subjects whose HCV RNA remained undetectable at the 6 week post-treatment safety follow-up visit. Those subjects that had detectable HCV RNA at the end of safety follow-up period were not assessed for SVR 12 and SVR 24. Those subjects achieving an SVR12 were assessed for the durability of the response at 24 weeks after the end of treatment

    5. Secondary Outcome
    Title Number of Participants With HCV Resistance-associated Variants to MBL-HCV1 and Oral Direct-acting Antivirals Before and After Receipt of Study Treatment
    Description Conventional sequencing was performed on HCV RNA isolated from a subset of serum samples obtained at baseline, at the time of viral rebound, and at the end of study in subjects who did not achieve a sustained virologic response. The targets of both the MBL-HCV1 antibody (E1/E2 glycoprotein) and telaprevir (NS3) were sequenced. The data displays the number of subjects with > 20% resistance associated variants (RAV) reported for the target MBL-HCV1 and/or Direct-acting Antiviral (DAA)
    Time Frame Pre-transplant, time of viral rebound (assessed from Day 7-Day 56 of treatment), end of study (up to day 126) in subjects who did not achieve a sustained virologic response (SVR)

    Title Number of Subjects With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) at Week 12 and Week 24
    Description Number of subjects with sustained virologic response (defined as HCV RNA concentration below the limit of detection) at 12 and 24 weeks post-treatment was examined as an exploratory endpoint in subjects whose HCV RNA remained undetectable at the 6 week post-treatment safety follow-up visit. Those subjects that had detectable HCV RNA at the end of safety follow-up period were not assessed for SVR 12 and SVR 24. Those subjects achieving an SVR12 were assessed for the durability of the response at 24 weeks after the end of treatment
    Time Frame 12 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR12) and 24 weeks after the end of treatment 12 weeks and 24 weeks post-treatment

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Of 8 subjects in Part 1, 2 had undetectable HCV RNA at 6 wk post-treatment. Therefore, at wk 12 (day 168), per protocol, 2 were analyzed. 1 had detectable HCV RNA at wk 12. Per protocol, the subject did not require a 24 wk visit. The other subject had undetectable HCV RNA at wk 12. Therefore, only 1 subject was analyzed at wk 24 (day 252). This subject had undetectable HCV RNA at wk 24. 2 subjects in Part 2 had undetectable HCV RNA at 12 & 24 wks. 2 subjects were analyzed at the 12 & 24 wks
