Trial information
A Study of PEGASYS (Peginterferon alfa-2a (40KD)) Plus COPEGUS (Ribavirin) With or Without Pioglitazone in Treatment-Naive Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C and Insulin Resistance.
Status: Recruiting
Protocol number: ML21301
Sponsor: Hoffmann-La Roche
Company division: Pharmaceutical
Official Scientific Title: A randomized, open-label study of the effect of PEGASYS ® plus COPEGUS® with or without concomitant pioglitazone (Actos®) on early viral kinetics in treatment-naive patients with chronic hepatitis C, genotype-1, and insulin resistance
Brief summary: This 2 arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of PEGASYS plus COPEGUS, with or without concomitant pioglitazone, on hepatitis C virus titers in treatment-naive patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C, and insulin resistance. Patients will be randomized to receive either a)PEGASYS 180 micrograms/week + Copegus 1000-1600mg/day (according to body weight) or b)16 weeks of pioglitazone (30mg daily for 8 weeks, then 45mg daily for 8 weeks), followed by PEGASYS 180 micrograms/week + Copegus 1000-1600mg/day + pioglitazone 45mg daily for 48 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals. Target sample size is 240.
