Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

The Percentage of Subjects Achieving Undetectable Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) at 24 Weeks After Completion of Drug Administration (SVR, Sustained Viral Response)
After 24 weeks of follow-up
Proportion of Randomized Subjects Achieving Sustained Viral Response (SVR), Demonstrated by Achieving Undetectable HCV RNA 24 Weeks After Last Dose of Study Treatment (SVR24)
24 weeks after the last planned dose of study treatment

SVR24planned was used to measure the primary outcome. SVR24 planned is defined as undetectable HCV RNA levels at the end of treatment (EOT) visit and at 24 weeks after the last planned dose of study treatment without any confirmed detectable HCV RNA levels in between those visits. All plasma HCV RNA levels were assessed using the Roche TaqMan HCV RNA assay (Version 2.0, lower limit of quantification \[LLOQ\] of 25 IU/mL).

Number of Subjects Achieving Sustained Viral Response (SVR), Demonstrated by Achieving Undetectable Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Levels 24 Weeks After Last Planned Dose of Study Treatment
24 weeks after last planned dose of study treatment (up to Week 72)

The plasma HCV RNA level was measured using Roche TaqMan HCV RNA assay. The lower limit of quantification was 25 international units per milliliter (IU/mL) and the lower limit of detection was 10 IU/mL. Two results are reported: 1) Protocol defined SVR: undetectable HCV RNA at 24 weeks after the last planned dose of study treatment without any confirmed detectable HCV RNA between end of treatment visit (up to Week 48) and 24 weeks after last planned dose (up to Week 72); 2) SVR as per FDA guidance (snapshot analysis): undetectable HCV RNA at 24 weeks after the last planned dose of study treatment. Analysis was based only on the HCV RNA assessment in visit window (+/-2 weeks); if there were more than 1 assessment in the window, the last measurement was used.

Undetectable HCV RNA at 24 Weeks After Completion of Drug Administration
24 Weeks After Completion of Drug Administration (dosing period is 24 Weeks) or drug withdrawal. The subjects were assessed at 24 weeks following the last dose of study drug.

Frequently asked questions about telaprevir

What is telaprevir?

Telaprevir is a small molecule drug that was studied for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, including hepatitis C genotype 1 and patients with hepatic insufficiency. It was developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated and evaluated in clinical trials in combination with other hepatitis C therapies.

Who makes telaprevir?

Telaprevir was developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, which trades under the ticker VRTX. Vertex sponsored the clinical trial program for the drug, including studies of telaprevir alone and in combination with sofosbuvir in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

What phase is telaprevir in?

Telaprevir was studied in Phase 2 clinical development, with additional Phase 1 trials. The program included seven completed trials with no active trials remaining. The studies enrolled a total of 2,315 participants and included randomized, double-blind, active-controlled designs.

What clinical trials is telaprevir in?

Telaprevir was evaluated in completed trials including NCT01994486, an open-label Phase 2 safety study of telaprevir and sofosbuvir in chronic hepatitis C genotype 1, and NCT01704521, a Phase 1 viral kinetics study in subjects with hemophilia. Phase 1 drug interaction trials included NCT01275599 with buprenorphine and NCT01038167 with cyclosporine and tacrolimus.

Is telaprevir the same as VX-950?

Yes, telaprevir is also known as VX-950. The name telaprevir and the code VX-950 refer to the same drug, which was also studied in combination with sofosbuvir in chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. Searches for telaprevir, VX-950, or telaprevir and sofosbuvir all refer to this same compound.

What is telaprevir used for?

Telaprevir was studied for chronic hepatitis C, including hepatitis C genotype 1, and in patients with hepatic insufficiency. Trials also examined its use in specific populations such as subjects with hemophilia and those with opioid-related disorders, reflecting the hepatitis C patient groups evaluated in its clinical program.
