Brief Summary

Evaluation of efficacy of triple therapy with pegylated interferon, ribavirin, and boceprevir in patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C, who are treatment-naive, have relapsed, or are non-respon...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Adult 18 years and older
  • Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus proven with positive PCR for more than 6 months
  • Viral genotype 1
  • Cirrhosis while awaiting liver transplantation
  • MELD score \< or equal to 18
  • With or without hepatocellular carcinoma
  • Naive to antiviral C treatment
  • Failure on a previous treatment. Failure is defined as the persistence of detectable HCV RNA. The previous HCV failure treatment profile must be able to be documented according to the following terminology:- Relapsing patient: HCV RNA undetectable at the end of treatment, becoming detectable again after the discontinuation of treatment- Breakthrough: increase of viremia of 1 log or more during the treatment - Non-responding patient with partial response: HCV RNA detectable at W24 without ever having been undetectable and with a decrease in HCV RNA ≥ 2 log at W12 - Non-responding patient with nul response: decrease in HCV RNA \< 2 log at W12
  • No need for prior treatment wash-out
  • Negative pregnancy test in women of child-bearing age
  • Double method of contraception in men and women of child-bearing age during the entire duration of treatment and the 6 months following its discontinuation
  • Free, informed, and written consent (signed on the day of pre-enrollment at the latest and before all exams required by the study)
  • Person enrolled in or a beneficiary of a social security/Universal Health Insurance Coverage
  • Inclusion approved by the Decision Support Committee

Exclusion

  • Previous HCV treatment with boceprevir or telaprevir
  • Alcohol consumption \> 40 g/day
  • Toxicomania constituting a barrier for starting therapy according to the opinion of the investigator. Patients included in a methadone or buprenorphine replacement program may be enrolled
  • MELD \> 18
  • Non controlled sepsis
  • Platelets \< 50,000/mm3
  • Neutrophil granulocyte levels \< 1000/mm3
  • Creatinine clearance \< 50 mL/min (MDRD)
  • Hb \< 10 g/dL
  • Uncontrolled psychiatric problems
  • Contraindications to boceprevir
  • Contraindication to interferon or ribavirin
  • Subject with major complications of cirrhosis
  • HIV coinfection
  • HBV coinfection (unless this is treated effectively with analogues, as proven by undetectable viremia for at least 12 months)
  • Other infectious disease underway
  • Neoplastic disease other than hepatocellular carcinoma during the previous year, or neoplastic disease for which the prognosis is less than 3 years
  • Treatment with immunosuppressors (including corticosteroids), antivirals other than those for the study, except aciclovir
  • Consumption of St. John's wort
  • Associated treatments including a molecule or substance that could interfere with the pharmacokinetic characteristics of boceprevir
  • History of a lactose allergy
  • Person participating in another study including an exclusion period that is still underway during pre-enrollment
  • So-called vulnerable populations (minors, people under guardianship or protection, or a private individual under protection from making legal or administrative decisions)
  • Pregnancy, breast-feeding
