Our hypothesis is that there is no important difference in effect between the two treatment effect.', 'detailedDescription': 'High rate of infection of Hepatitis C Virus(HCV) Genotype 6 was recently confirmed in Southern China. Recent study implied chronic hepatitis C genotype 6 responds better to the 48-week treatment with pegylated interferon and ribavirin than genotype 1. Approximately 75.7% obtain sustained virological response (HCV RNA undetectable 24 weeks after treatment) to this approach. However, the treatment is associated with many and sometimes serious side effects. In addition, the treatment is costly also in economical terms. Shorter treatment for chronic hepatitis C genotype 6 is necessary to be assessed.\n\nIn this randomised,open label,multicenter phase 3 trial with active controls patients are treated with pegylated interferon alfa 2a (180ug/week)and ribavirin(800-1200mg based on weight)for 4 weeks. Those who are HCV RNA negative at week 4 (\\<50 IU; Cobas Amplicor Monitor Test, Roche Diagnostic) are defined as rapid virological responders and randomised to either an additional 20 or 44 weeks combination treatment. Patients who are HCV RNA positive are all treated for 44 more weeks. The endpoint is sustained virological response defined as undetectable HCV RNA 24 weeks after end of treatment.\n\nOur hypothesis is that there is no important difference in the effect in the two groups.\n\nThis is a non-inferiority trial. The smallest difference considered to be clinically important is 15%. Thus to state "non-inferiority" the 95% confidence interval of the observed difference between the groups shall not overlap 10%. Both intention to treat and and per protocol analyses will be published. Conclusion will be conservative and based on the analysis who detect the biggest difference.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '70 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* HCV RNA is positive\n* Genotype 6\n* Treatment naive\n* Raised ALT\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Active substance abuse\n* Poorly controlled psychiatric disease\n* HBsAg positive\n* Anti-HIV positive\n* Suffering from other significant concurrent medical conditions including chronic liver diseases'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01263860', 'briefTitle': 'A Randomized Trial of 24-Week Versus 48-Week Courses of Peginterferon Plus Ribavirin for HCV Genotype-6 Patients', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University'}, 'officialTitle': 'A Randomized Trial of 24-Week Versus 48-Week Courses of Peginterferon Plus', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'TAH115G6HCV'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': '24-Week treatment group', 'description': 'Genotype 6 chronic hepatitis C patients with rapid virological response(undetectable HCV RNA at weeks 4) in this group will be treated with Peginterferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin for an additional 20 weeks', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Peginterferon alfa2a', 'Drug: Ribavirin']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': '48-Week treatment group', 'description': 'Genotype 6 chronic hepatitis C patients with rapid virological response(undetectable HCV RNA at weeks 4) in this group will be treated with Peginterferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin for an additional 44 weeks', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Peginterferon alfa2a', 'Drug: Ribavirin']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Peginterferon alfa2a', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'patients receive a dose of 180 µg of PEGASYS once a week for 24 weeks', 'armGroupLabels': ['24-Week treatment group']}, {'name': 'Ribavirin', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'patients receive a dose 800 to 1200 mg of ribavirin once a day(according to weight) for 24 weeks', 'armGroupLabels': ['24-Week treatment group']}, {'name': 'Peginterferon alfa2a', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'patients receive a dose of 180 µg of PEGASYS once a week for 48 weeks', 'armGroupLabels': ['48-Week treatment group']}, {'name': 'Ribavirin', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'patients receive a dose 800 to 1200 mg of ribavirin once a day(according to weight) for 48 weeks', 'armGroupLabels': ['48-Week treatment group']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '510060', 'city': 'Guangzhou', 'state': 'Guangdong', 'country': 'China', 'facility': "The Eighth People's Hospital of Guangzhou", 'geoPoint': {'lat': 23.11667, 'lon': 113.25}}, {'zip': '510630', 'city': 'Guangzhou', 'state': 'Guangdong', 'country': 'China', 'facility': 'The Third Affliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 23.11667, 'lon': 113.25}}, {'city': 'Guangzhou', 'state': 'Guangdong', 'country': 'China', 'facility': "Panyu People's Hospital", 'geoPoint': {'lat': 23.11667, 'lon': 113.25}}, {'city': 'Zhongshan', 'state': 'Guangdong', 'country': 'China', 'facility': "Zhongshan second people's hospital", 'geoPoint': {'lat': 22.52306, 'lon': 113.37912}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Gao Zhiliang, Doctor', 'role': 'STUDY_CHAIR', 'affiliation': 'The Third Affliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University'}, {'name': 'Zhao Zhixin, Doctor', 'role': 'STUDY_DIRECTOR', 'affiliation': 'The Third Affliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University'}, {'name': 'Zhang Xiaohong, Doctor', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'The Third Affliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University'}, {'name': 'Xu Min, Doctor', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': "The Eighth People's Hospital of Guangzhou"}, {'name': 'Wei min, Doctor', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': "Zhongshan second people's hospital"}, {'name': 'Huang mingshou, Bachelor', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': "Panyu People's Hospital"}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Sun Yat-Sen University', 'investigatorFullName': 'Cai Qingxian', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University'}}}}
