About this study

Official title: To Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Sofosbuvir and Ribavirin in Patients With HCV (Genotype 3) Related Decompensated Cirrhosis" - A Randomized Open- Label Study

In this prospective randomized trial, A Minimum of 300 consecutive patients of decompensated HCV (Hepatitis C Virus) related cirrhosis, presenting to the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences hospital will be included and those patients meeting the entry criteria received treatment with 400 mg of Sofosbuvir, administered orally once daily, and Ribavirin administered orally twice daily, with doses determined according to body weight(600 mg daily in patients with a body weight of ≤60 kg,800 mg daily in patients weighing >60 and ≤80 kg, and1000 mg daily in patients with a body weight of >80 kg). Based on the treatment duration, patients would be randomized in either of the 3 treatment groups -

  • Group 1 - Sofosbuvir + Ribavirin x 24 weeks
  • Group 2 - Sofosbuvir + Ribavirin x 36 weeks
  • Group 3 - Sofosbuvir + Ribavirin x 48 weeks
Being tested
Sofosbuvir + Ribavirin 1, Sofosbuvir + Ribavirin 2, Sofosbuvir + Ribavirin 3

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Primary efficacy end point is SVR 24 defined as HCV RNA <LLOQ (lower limit of quantification)

    Measured: 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. The secondary endpoint is any AE (Adverse Event) leading to permanent discontinuation of study drugs.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Mortality at 6 months post therapy in all the 3 groups.

    Measured: 48 weeks

  3. Improvement in the liver function as determined by CTP (Child-Turcotte-Pugh score), MELD (Model for End Stage liver Disease)more than 2 points at 6 months and 1 year.

    Measured: 48 weeks

  4. Number of new cases of Hepatocellular Carcinoma at end of therapy and at 6 months post therapy in all the 3 groups.

    Measured: 48 weeks

  5. Reduction in HVPG >20% to baseline after 1 year in all the 3 groups.

    Measured: 48 weeks

  6. SVR 4 defined as HCV RNA <LLOQ (lower limit of quantification)

    Measured: 24 weeks

  7. SVR 12 defined as HCV RNA <LLOQ (lower limit of quantification)

    Measured: 36 weeks

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted8 Jun 2015 (estimated)
  2. Study startJun 2015
  3. Primary completionDec 2016
  4. Study completionDec 2016

Why it stopped: In view of recent approval of NS5A inhibitors for treatment of hepatitis C such as Declatasvir and Ledipasvir which have proven better efficacy in the HCV cure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sofosbuvir + Ribavirin 1, Sofosbuvir + Ribavirin 2 and Sofosbuvir + Ribavirin 3 in people with HCV Related Cirrhosis, run by Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, India at 1 site in India.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in India. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: In view of recent approval of NS5A inhibitors for treatment of hepatitis C such as Declatasvir and Ledipasvir which have proven better efficacy in the HCV cure). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Primary efficacy end point is SVR 24 defined as HCV RNA <LLOQ (lower limit of quantification) (time frame: 48 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Jan 2017.
