Comparison of Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir Fixed Dose Combination for 12 Weeks With Sofosbuvir and Ribavirin for 24 Weeks in Adults With Chronic Genotype 3 HCV Infection (ASTRAL-3)

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 24 Weeks in Subjects With Chronic Genotype 3 HCV Infection

The primary objectives of this study are to compare the efficacy of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) for 12 weeks with that of sofosbuvir (SOF) + ribavirin (RBV) for 24 weeks and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of each treatment regimen in participants with chronic genotype 3 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

Time Frame: Up to Posttreatment Week 24

Virologic failure was defined as:

    • 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
Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA < LLOQ at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, and 24
Time Frame: Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, and 24

Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, and 24
Time Frame: Baseline; Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, and 24
Baseline; Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, and 24
Percentage of Participants With SVR at 4 and 24 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR4 and SVR24)

SVR4 and SVR24 are defined as HCV RNA < LLOQ at 4 and 24 weeks following the last dose of study drug.
