Efficacy and Safety of Sofosbuvir Plus Daclatasvir With or Without Ribavirin: Large Real-life Results of Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 4

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DCV plus sofosbuvir (SOF) with or without ribavirin (RBV) for treatment of Egyptian participants infected with HCV GT4.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Egyptian participants infected with HCV GT4 were classified into two groups: group 1 (easy to treat) was treated with a dual therapy of SOF/DCV daily for 12 weeks and group 2 (difficult to treat) was treated with a triple therapy of SOF/DCV/RBV daily for 12 weeks.

SOF dose was 400 mg/day given orally DCV was given in a dose of 60 mg/day, orally. RBV was given as oral tablets in the morning and in the evening based on patient's weight and tolerability (starting dose 600 mg/day to reach 1200 mg/day.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: SOF/DCV

Other Names:
  • Sovaldi is a trade name of sofosbuvir
  • Daklinza is a trade name of daclatasvir
Active Comparator: SOF/DCV/RBV + Non-Cirrhosis
This difficult-to-treat arm included treatment-experienced non-cirrhotic participants (77 participants) who were treated with a triple therapy (SOF, DCV, and RBV) for 12 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR12) in Each Treatment Arm SVR12
Time Frame: 12 weeks after last dose
SVR12 was defined as hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) level < 15 IU/m 12 weeks after the last dose of drugs.
12 weeks after last dose
Number of Participants With Adverse Events in Each Treatment Arm
Time Frame: up for 12 weeks after planned End of Treatment (EOT).

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant clinical investigation after administering a pharmaceutical drugs

Serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, life-threatening, requires hospitalization, or significant disability/incapacity

up for 12 weeks after planned End of Treatment (EOT).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With On-treatment Virologic Failure
Time Frame: up tp 24 weeks
On-treatment virologic failure was defined as quantifiable HCV RNA throughout the entire treatment period with HCV RNA greater than 15 IU/ml
up tp 24 weeks
Percentage of Participants With Viral relapse
Time Frame: 12 weeks after last dose
Viral relapse was HCV RNA level ≤ 15 IU/ml at EOT, but detectable HCV RNA level > 15 IU/ml 12 weeks after planned EOT.
12 weeks after last dose
