An Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics Study of Simeprevir, Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir in Participants With Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1 or 4 Infection and Decompensated Liver Disease

January 31, 2025 updated by: Janssen Research & Development, LLC

A Phase 2 Open-label Study to Investigate the Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of 12 Weeks of Treatment With Simeprevir, Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir, Followed by a 5-Year Post-treatment Long-term Follow-up, in Treatment-naïve and Treatment-experienced Subjects With Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1 or 4 Infection and Decompensated Liver Disease

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a 12-week regimen containing simeprevir, daclatasvir and sofosbuvir in participants with decompensated liver disease (the liver function is insufficient) due to genotype 1 or 4 Hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) C virus (HCV) infection by assessing sustained virologic response 12-weeks after the end of study drug treatment (SVR12).

Detailed Description

This is an open-label (all people know which treatment the participants receive) Phase 2 study to investigate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of simeprevir, daclatasvir and sofosbuvir in treatment-naive (participants have never received HCV treatment with any approved or investigational agent) and treatment - experienced (participants have failed at least one previous course of [Pegylated] interferon [(Peg)IFN], with or without Ribavirin) participants. Participants will be assigned to 1 of 2 panels: Panel 1 (n=20): Child-Pugh score less than (<) 7 with evidence of portal hypertension (confirmed by presence of esophageal varices or HVPG greater than or equal to [>=] 10 mm Hg); Panel 2 (n=20): Child-Pugh score 7 to 9 (extremes included). The total study duration for each participant will be approximately 276 weeks. The study will consist of 3 parts: Screening Phase (approximately 4 weeks) and open-label treatment Phase (from Week 4 to 16) and follow-up Phase (until 5 years after the actual end of study drug treatment). Participants will receive simeprevir (150 milligram [mg] capsule), daclatasvir (60 mg tablet) and sofosbuvir (400 mg tablet) orally once daily for 12 weeks. Efficacy will be primarily evaluated by percentage of participants with SVR12. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks After End of Study Drug Treatment (SVR12)
Time Frame: Week 24
Participants were considered to have achieved SVR12 if the hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) was less than (<) lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; 15 international unit per milliliter [IU/mL]) detectable or undetectable at 12 weeks after the end of study drug treatment.
Week 24

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With On-treatment Failure
Time Frame: Week 12
On-treatment failure is defined as participants who do not achieve SVR12 and with confirmed detectable HCV RNA at the actual end of study drug treatment.
Week 12
Percentage of Participants With On-Treatment Virologic Response
Time Frame: Week 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
On-treatment virologic response was determined by HCV RNA results satisfying a specified threshold. The following thresholds were considered at any time point: <LLOQ undetectable, <LLOQ detectable, and <LLOQ undetectable or detectable. The LLOQ value was 15 IU/mL. Very rapid virologic response (vRVR) is undetectable HCV RNA at Week 2 while on treatment and Rapid virologic response (RVR) is undetectable HCV RNA at Week 4 while on treatment.
