- HCV RNA ≥ 15 IU/mL after having previously had HCV RNA < 15 IU/mL while on treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values or last available measurement (ie, breakthrough);
- > 1 log10 IU/mL increase in HCV RNA from nadir while on treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values or last available measurement (ie, rebound);or

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Sofosbuvir, RBV and PEG in people with Hepatitis C, Chronic, run by Gilead Sciences at 46 sites in 2 countries.
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 2 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 46 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 May 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 24 Weeks Following Completion of Treatment (SVR24) (time frame: Post-treatment Week 24). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01329978, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 26 May 2014.
