About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Addition of IL-2 to Pegylated Interferon Alpha 2a and Ribavirin for the Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C in HIV-HCV Coinfected Patients Non Responders to Three Months of Therapy With Pegylated Interferon Alpha 2a and Ribavirin. ANRS HC09 SECOIIA

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of addition of IL-2 to pegylated interferon alpha 2a and ribavirin in HIV-HCV coinfected patients non-responders after three months of standard therapy with pegylated interferon alpha 2a and ribavirin. IL-2 may enhance numbers and function of CD4 T lymphocytes and specific anti-HCV immune responses and could participate to the control of HCV replication

Read the detailed description

This pilot study evaluate efficacy and safety of addition of IL-2 to pegylated interferon alpha 2a and ribavirin in HIV-HCV coinfected patients non-responders after three months of standard therapy with pegylated interferon alpha 2a and ribavirin Eligible patients should have CD4 cells count higher than 300/mm³ if pretreated by antiretroviral therapy or higher than 400/mm³ if naive of antiretroviral therapy, Metavir score with histological fibrosis score F1, F2 or F3.

Recombinant IL-2 will be given subcutaneously at a dose of 3 MUI twice daily for 5 days every 8 weeks for 5 cycles from week 14 to week 46. This national multicenter study will enroll around 75 patients in order to give IL-2 to 20 non-responders.

The primary endpoint is sustained virologic response, defined by undetectable serum HCV-RNA at week 72, six months after the end of therapy

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sustained virologic response, defined by undetectable serum HCV-RNA at week 72, six months after the end of treatment; Safety of IL-2 in combination with pegylated interferon and ribavirin

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Virologic response at the end of treatment at week 48, Biochemical response, CD4 cell counts and HIV-RNA plasma levels from baseline to week 72

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Interleukin 2, pegylated interferon alpha 2a and ribavirin in people with HIV Infections and Chronic Hepatitis C, run by French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Nov 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sustained virologic response, defined by undetectable serum HCV-RNA at week 72, six months after the end of treatment; Safety of IL-2 in combination with pegylated interferon and ribavirin. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Nov 2007.
