Comparison of Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir Fixed Dose Combination for 12 Weeks With Sofosbuvir and Ribavirin for 12 Weeks in Adults With Chronic Genotype 2 HCV Infection (ASTRAL-2)

October 19, 2018 updated by: Gilead Sciences

A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Sofosbuvir/GS-5816 Fixed Dose Combination for 12 Weeks With Sofosbuvir and Ribavirin for 12 Weeks in Subjects With Chronic Genotype 2 HCV Infection

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) for 12 weeks compared to treatment with sofosbuvir (SOF) plus ribavirin (RBV) for 12 weeks in participants with chronic genotype 2 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) 12 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR12)
Time Frame: Posttreatment Week 12
SVR12 was defined as HCV RNA < the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ; ie, 15 IU/mL) at 12 weeks after stopping study treatment.
Posttreatment Week 12
Percentage of Participants Who Permanently Discontinued Any Study Drug Due to an Adverse Event
Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks
Up to 12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With SVR at 4 and 24 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR4 and SVR24)
Time Frame: Posttreatment Weeks 4 and 24
SVR4 and SVR 24 were defined as HCV RNA < LLOQ at 4 and 24 weeks after stopping study treatment, respectively.
Posttreatment Weeks 4 and 24
Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA < LLOQ at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12
Time Frame: Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12
Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12
Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12
Time Frame: Baseline; Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12
Baseline; Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12
Percentage of Participants With Virologic Failure
Time Frame: Up to Posttreatment Week 24

Virologic failure was defined as

  • On-treatment virologic failure:

    • Breakthrough (confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ after having previously had HCV RNA < LLOQ while on treatment), or
    • Rebound (confirmed > 1 log10 IU/mL increase in HCV RNA from nadir while on treatment), or
    • Non-response (HCV RNA persistently ≥ LLOQ through 8 weeks of treatment)

  • Virologic relapse:

    • Confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ during the posttreatment period having achieved HCV RNA < LLOQ at last on-treatment visit.
Up to Posttreatment Week 24

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
