Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)
Up to 43 weeks

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Treatment-emergent were events between administration of study drug and up to 43 weeks that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state.

Body Weight at End of Treatment
End of treatment (Cohort 3: 6 weeks; Cohort 1, Cohort 1b+ Cohort 4, Cohort 2, Cohort 5a, and Cohort 6, 7, 8: 8 weeks; Cohort 4, Cohort 5b, Cohort 9 and Cohort 11: 12 weeks)

Body weight (measured using a calibrated scale) at end of treatment was reported.

Body Mass Index (BMI) at End of Treatment
End of treatment (Cohort 3: 6 weeks; Cohort 1, Cohort 1b+ Cohort 4, Cohort 2, Cohort 5a, and Cohort 6, 7, 8: 8 weeks; Cohort 4, Cohort 5b, Cohort 9 and Cohort 11: 12 weeks)

BMI was calculated by dividing the body weight (in kilogram) by the square of height (in meters). BMI at end of treatment was reported.

Percentage of Participants With Worst Post-Baseline Values of Vital Signs
Up to 43 weeks

Percentage of participants with worst post-baseline values of vital signs (Systolic blood pressure \[sBP\], Diastolic blood pressure \[dBP\], and Heart rate) were reported. For sBP, abnormally low: less than or equal to \[\<=\] 90 millimeters mercury \[mmHg\]; Grade 1 or mild: greater than \[\>\] 140 to less than \[\<\] 160 mmHg; Grade 2 or moderate: \>=160 to \<180 and Grade 3 or severe: \>=180 mmHg.

Percentage of Participants by Treatment Emergent Toxicity Grade - Prothrombin International Normalized Ratio (INR)
Up to 43 weeks

Percentage of participants by treatment emergent toxicity grade for coagulation parameter (Prothrombin International Normalized Ratio) were reported. Toxicity grades were defined as Grade 1: Mild; Grade 2: Moderate; Grade 3: Severe and Grade 4: potentially life-threatening. A toxicity is treatment-emergent if it is worse than the baseline or if baseline is missing.

Frequently asked questions about AL-335

What is AL-335 used for in chronic hepatitis C?

AL-335 is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, a viral infection of the liver. It has been studied in Phase 2 and Phase 1 clinical trials, including combinations with other direct-acting antivirals such as odalasvir and simeprevir. It is not approved for any use.

Who is developing AL-335?

AL-335 is being developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker VRTX. Vertex is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating AL-335 in chronic hepatitis C.

What phase is AL-335 in?

AL-335 is in Phase 2 clinical development for chronic hepatitis C. Three trials have been completed, including one Phase 2 study and two Phase 1 studies, with a total enrollment of 305 participants. No trials are currently active, and the drug remains investigational.

What clinical trials is AL-335 in?

AL-335 has been evaluated in three completed trials: NCT02569710, a Phase 2 study of AL-335 combined with odalasvir and simeprevir in 161 patients with chronic hepatitis C; NCT02512562, a Phase 1 drug interaction study in 32 healthy volunteers; and NCT02339207, a first-in-human Phase 1 study in 112 participants.

Is AL-335 FDA approved?

No, AL-335 is not FDA approved. It is an investigational small molecule that has completed Phase 2 and Phase 1 clinical trials for chronic hepatitis C. Approval status has not been granted, and further clinical development would be required before any regulatory submission.
