Design


* Randomisation stratified on genotype (1a or 1b) and response to previous treatment (HCV RNA < lower limit of quantification acheived or not achieved)
** Liver biopsy or Fibroscan > 12.5 kPa or Fibrotest® > 0.75 + APRI > 2

  • Co-formulated ledipasvir-sofosbuvir (LDV 90mg/SOF 400 mg) : 1 pill qd
  • RBV : 1000 or 1200 mg/day (bid dosing) according to body weight (< or ≥ 75 kg)

Objective

  • SVR12 (HCV RNA < 25 IU /ml) , with two sided 95% CI : difference of 15% between groups, 80% power

Baseline characteristics and patient disposition

SVR12 (HCV RNA < 25 IU/ml), % (IC 95%)

Characteristics of patients who relapsed

Adverse events


Other adverse events occurring in 5-15% of patients : nausea, cough, diarrhea, irritability, myalgia, dry skin, back pain, sleep disorder, dyspnea

Summary

  • In this randomised, phase II study, patients with HCV genotype 1 infection and compensated cirrhosis who had not previously achieved SVR with standard treatment achieved high SVR12 rates (96-97%) after treatment with LDV/SOF + RBV for 12 weeks or LDV/SOF for 24 weeks, with no statistical differences in rates between groups
  • They were 5 relapses, and no baseline characteristics were predictive
  • The 2 treatment regimens were safe and well tolerated
    • Patients receiving LDV/SOF alone had higher rates of headache and fatigue than patients receiving LDV/SOF + RBV or placebo
  • Limitation
    • Exclusion of patients with decompensated liver disease
