Study Summary

Debio 025 (alisporivir) is an oral cyclophilin inhibitor with a new mechanism of action demonstrating potent anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) activity in pre-clinical models and patients. The current standard of care (SOC) in HCV patients consists of a combination of peg-IFN alpha and ribavirin. Treatment duration and ribavirin dose depend on the genotype treated. Only 40-50% of patients with genotype 1 achieve a sustained viral response (SVR). This study assesses whether Debio 025 administered in combination with peg-IFN alpha 2a and ribavirin can improve the outcome of treatment in this group of patients.

Primary Outcome

Hepatitis C virus RNA was quantified in plasma samples using real time polymerase chain reaction.
