BACKGROUND

The Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a global public health problem. The global prevalence of hepatitis C infection is estimated to average 3% resulting in approximately 170 million HCV-infected persons worldwide. Most of those infected develop persistent, chronic infection. An estimated 20-50% of patients with chronic HCV infection are at risk for developing such long-term complications as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES

The primary objectives of this Hep C Clinical Study are to evaluate the:

Safety and tolerability of a new Hep C drug and simeprevir when given in combination with RBV for up to 12 weeks.

Efficacy of a new Hep C drug and simeprevir when given in combination with RBV for up to 12 weeks.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES

The secondary objectives are to evaluate the:

1. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of a new Hepatitic C drug and simeprevir when given in combination with RBV.

2. PK/Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of a new Hepatitic C drug and simeprevir when given in combination with RBV.

3. Emergence of resistance mutations over 12-weeks of combination treatment of a new Hepatitic C drug, simeprevir and RBV and in the post-treatment follow-up period.

INCLUSION CRITERIA

1. 18 (or the legal age of consent per local regulations, if greater than 18 years) to 65 years of age, inclusive.

2. Female subjects of both childbearing potential and non-childbearing potential may be included, unless the local regulatory authority requires that only females of non-childbearing potential be included. Non-childbearing potential is defined as one of the following:

A documented hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral tubal ligation at least 6 months prior to study initiation.
3. All female subjects must have a negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) at Screening and a negative urine pregnancy test prior to the first dose of study medication on Day 1.

5. Male subjects must have agreed not to donate sperm from the first dose through at least 6 months after the last dose of study drugs.

6. QTcF interval ≤ _450 ms at Screening and prior to dosing on Day 1.

a) anti- HCV antibody positive at least 6 months prior to Screening or dosing, OR

b) HCV RNA present in plasma by a sensitive and specific assay at least 6 months prior to Screening or dosing, OR

c) HCV genotype at least 6 months prior to Screening or dosing, OR

d) histologic evidence of chronic hepatitis C infection.

8. Must not have received prior antiviral treatment for HCV infection.

9. Plasma HCV RNA positive at Screening with minimal viral load according to genotype:

a) Genotype 1b HCV RNA ≠5 log10 IU/mL

b) Genotype 4 HCV RNA ≠_4 log10 IU/mL

10. HCV genotype 1b or 4 by HCV genotyping performed at Screening (Note: mixed subtypes are not acceptable).

11. Documented absence of cirrhosis within 36 months of Screening or dosing (histology or non-invasive equivalent, according to local standard of care).
