Brief Summary: Triple antiviral therapy with peg-interferon-alfaribavirinamantadine was suggested to increase sustained virological response SVR rates in HCV non-responders to a standard interferonribavirin combination

Patients with hepatitis C virus infection were eligible if they had failed to respond to a single previous 24 week cycle of interferonribavirin combination therapy Non-response was defined as persistent HCV RNA in the serum during the last month of treatment

This study tested the efficacy and safety of pegylated interferon alfa-2b with ribavirin and amantadine or a placebo for 48 weeks
Detailed Description: Triple antiviral therapy with peg-interferon-alfaribavirin amantadine was suggested to increase sustained virological response SVR rates in HCV non-responders to a standard interferonribavirin combination

The aim of this study is to determine if the addition of amantadine to PEG-IFNribavirin enhances SVR

This study is a double blind comparative prospective multicenter randomized study Patients are recruited from 23 hepatology centers in France The protocol was approved by the French ethical committee and all patients provided written informed consent Eligible subjects are randomly assigned to the two treatment groups in equal proportions The randomization process is generated by the Department of Biostatistics Hospices Civils de Lyon Lyon France

Main inclusion criteria are elevated ALT detectable HCV RNA Metavir score over or equal to A1F1 and below or equal to F3 Patients received PEG-IFN 15µgkgweek ribavirin 800-1200mgday and amantadine 200mgday or placebo during 48 weeks

The primary endpoint is a sustained virological response defined as an undetectable HCV-RNA 24 weeks after treatment discontinuation week 72 Secondary endpoints are the biochemical response at week 72 defined as ALT normalization histological benefit tolerance and virological and biochemical responses during therapy at weeks 12 24 and 48
