Study of PEG-Intron Plus REBETOL in Pediatric Subjects With Chronic Hepatitis C (Study P02538AM1 Part 1)(COMPLETED)
Assessment of the Safety, Efficacy, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of PEG-Intron® Plus REBETOL® in Pediatric Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C

The primary objective is to assess the safety, efficacy and tolerability of the combination of PEG-Intron plus REBETOL in pediatric subjects with chronic hepatitis C. The secondary objective is to measure the multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of PEG-Intron and REBETOL in pediatric subjects with chronic hepatitis C.

This global, multicenter, open-label Phase 3 study will evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of PEG-Intron plus REBETOL in previously untreated pediatric subjects, ages 3 through 17 years, with chronic hepatitis C.

  • Biological: peginterferon alfa-2b (SCH 54031)
  • Drug: ribavirin (SCH 18908)
Experimental: SCH 54031 PEG-Intron (peginterferon alfa-2b) 60 µg/m2 subcutaneous injection once weekly plus SCH 18908 REBETOL (ribavirin) 15 mg/kg PO daily in two divided doses for 48 weeks for subjects with Genotypes 1,4,5,6 and high-viral-load (≥600,000 IU/mL) Genotype 3 subjects. For subjects with Genotype 2 or low-viral-load Genotype 3 (<600,000 IU/mL), the same treatment will be given for 24 weeks.
