February 11, 2020 updated by: The HIV Netherlands Australia Thailand Research Collaboration

Safety and Fibrosis Improvement of Grazoprevir and Elbasvir for HCV GT1 and GT6 With or Without HIV

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination treatment with grazoprevir + elbasvir for compensated cirrhotic participants with chronic genotype 1 (GT1) and genotype 6 (GT6) hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with or without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Total 100 patients with compensated cirrhosis, chronically infected with HCV GT1 or GT6 with or without HIV infection will be included. Patients with HCV GT1 and GT6 will be enrolled on a 1:1 basis (approximately 50 patients with GT1 and 50 patients with GT6). Treatment-naïve patients will be treated with the combination of grazoprevir plus elbasvir for 12 weeks. Treatment-experienced patients, including null responders, partial responders or post-treatment relapsers, will be assigned to treat with the combination plus weight-based RBV for 16 weeks. The dosages of study drugs are 100 mg of grazoprevir once daily and 50 mg of elbasvir once daily. All patients will follow up to assess SVR (defined by HCV RNA level <12 IU/mL) at week12 and week 24 after treatment (SVR12 and SVR24, respectively). Additionally, participants will be evaluated the longitudinal changes in LS values by TE up to 240 weeks (5 years) after treatment

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

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

Time Frame: 12 weeks post-treatment
To evaluate the rate of sustained virological response (SVR) at 12 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR12) in compensated cirrhotic participants with GT1 and GT6 HCV infection with or without HIV infection treated with the combination of grazoprevir and elbasvir
12 weeks post-treatment

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
Rate of SVR24
Time Frame: 24 weeks post-treatment
To evaluate the rate of sustained virological response (SVR) at 24 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR24)
24 weeks post-treatment
Decline of liver stiffness
Time Frame: 5 years post-treatment
To evaluate the percentage of participants achieving a significant decline in liver stiffness (LS) values (defined as a ≥30% decrease from baseline) up to 240 weeks (5 years) after treatment
