Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants Achieving Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks After the End of All Study Therapy (SVR12)
12 weeks after end of all therapy (Study Week 24)

Blood was drawn from each participant to assess Hepatitis C Virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) plasma levels using the Roche COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® Taqman HCV Test, v2.0, which had a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 15 IU/mL. SVR12 was defined as HCV RNA below the lower limit of detection (\<LLOQ) at 12 weeks after the end of all study therapy. As pre-specified in the protocol, the Deferred Treatment Group was not included in the primary efficacy analysis.

Percentage of Participants Experiencing at Least One Adverse Event (AE) During the DB Treatment Period and First 14 Follow-up Days
DB Treatment period plus first 14 follow-up days (up to 14 weeks)

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE. The primary safety analysis compared the safety data of the Immediate Treatment Group during the active treatment period to those of the Deferred Treatment Group during the placebo treatment period.

Percentage of Participants That Discontinued From Study Therapy Due to AEs During the DB Treatment Period
DB Treatment period (up to 12 weeks)

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE. A participant could discontinue from treatment but continue to participate in the study as long as consent was not withdrawn. The primary safety analysis compared the safety data of the Immediate Treatment Group during the active treatment period to those of the Deferred Treatment Group during the placebo treatment period.

Up to 28 weeks

The percentage of participants with Hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) \< Lower Limit of Quantification (LLoQ) 12 weeks after completing treatment (i.e., SVR12) in each arm was determined.

12 weeks after end of all therapy in Part 2 (Study Week 24 of Part 2)

Blood was drawn from each participant to assess Hepatitis C Virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) plasma levels using the Roche COBAS® Taqman quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay, v2.0, which had a lower limit of quantification (LLoQ) of 1.2 Log IU/mL (15 IU/mL) and a lower limit of detection (LLoD) below 15 IU/ml (no specific value). SVR12 was defined as undetectable HCV RNA (target not detected) at 12 weeks after the end of all study therapy. The Clopper-Pearson method was used to construct 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the SVR12 rate. The lower limit of the 95% CI was compared to the reference rate of 75%; a lower CI limit that was higher than the reference rate would confirm the primary hypothesis and indicate that that the treatment combination was efficacious. As pre-specified in the protocol, only the Immediate Treatment Arm of Part 2 (treatment naïve participants) was included in the primary efficacy analysis.

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.

Estimated Area Under the Liver Concentration-time Curve for 24 Hours Post-dose (AUC[H]0-24hr) of Grazoprevir
4, 8, and 24 hours post-dose on Day 7

Each participant was assigned to undergo Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) to obtain liver tissue at different time points. Specifically, one participant underwent FNA at 4 hr post-dose only, another participant underwent FNA at 8 hr post-dose only, and a third participant underwent FNA at 24 hr post-dose only. (The fourth participant underwent FNA at 72 hr post-dose and therefore was not included in the calculation of AUC0-24hr.) Therefore, in calculating AUC0-24hr, there were only 3 data points: 1 data point at 4 hr post-dose, 1 data point at 8 hr post-dose, and 1 data point at 24 hr post-dose. The model assumed that drug concentration was at steady-state, and that the concentration at 24 hr post-dose was equal to the concentration at 0 hr post-dose.

Hepatic Concentration of GZR (C[H]Xhr)
4, 8, 24, and 72 hours post-dose on Day 7

C(H)Xhr of GZR was expressed as liver concentration (μmol GZR/L liver) using the concentration of the extracted liver sample (mass of the liver biopsy/0.2 mL solvent), and assuming that liver has the specific gravity of water (1 g/mL). The arithmetic mean C(H)Xhr concentration is based on the means of 4 FNA passes per participant in all 4 participants.

Frequently asked questions about Grazoprevir

What is Grazoprevir used for?

Grazoprevir is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of Hepatitis C Virus infection, including chronic Hepatitis C. It is being studied in combination with other antiviral agents such as elbasvir and with peginterferon and ribavirin. The drug is currently in Phase 2 clinical development.

Who makes Grazoprevir?

Grazoprevir is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., which trades under the ticker symbol MRK. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in patients with chronic Hepatitis C infection.

What phase is Grazoprevir in?

Grazoprevir is currently in Phase 2 clinical development. It has completed 13 clinical trials with a total enrollment of 2,989 participants. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities for any indication.

What clinical trials is Grazoprevir in?

Grazoprevir has been studied in several completed clinical trials, including NCT01353911, which evaluated the drug with peginterferon and ribavirin in treatment-naïve patients with chronic Hepatitis C. Other trials include NCT01710501, NCT01937975, and NCT02105467, which studied different dosing regimens and combinations.

Is Grazoprevir the same as MK-5172?

Yes, Grazoprevir is also known as MK-5172. Clinical trial records refer to the drug by both names, such as in the study titled 'Grazoprevir (MK-5172) Administered With Peginterferon and Ribavirin in Treatment-Naïve Participants With Chronic Hepatitis C.'
