Frequently asked questions about danoprevir

What is danoprevir?

Danoprevir is an investigational small molecule antiviral developed by Roche Holding AG (ticker RHHBY) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. It is given as danoprevir plus ritonavir, a ritonavir-boosted regimen, and has been studied in Phase 2 clinical development. It is not an approved medicine.

What is danoprevir used for in chronic hepatitis C?

Danoprevir is being studied for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, specifically genotype 1 infection, including patients with or without cirrhosis. Trials have evaluated it in combination with peginterferon alfa-2a (Pegasys) and ribavirin (Copegus). It remains investigational and is not approved for treating hepatitis C.

Who makes danoprevir?

Danoprevir is developed by Roche Holding AG, which trades under the ticker RHHBY. Roche sponsored the clinical trials of ritonavir-boosted danoprevir in chronic hepatitis C, including studies conducted in Asian and European patient populations.

What phase is danoprevir in?

Danoprevir is in Phase 2 development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulator for chronic hepatitis C. Two completed trials are registered, one Phase 2 and one Phase 1, with no active trials currently listed.

What clinical trials is danoprevir in?

Two completed trials are registered for danoprevir. NCT01749150 was a Phase 2 study of ritonavir-boosted danoprevir with peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin in Asian patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1, enrolling 61 participants. NCT01185860 was a Phase 1 study of the same combination in 59 patients.
