What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) 12 Weeks After Cessation of Therapy (SVR12)

    SVR12 was defined as HCV RNA < the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) at 12 weeks after stopping study treatment.

    Measured: Posttreatment Week 12

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Prematurely Discontinued Study Drug Due to Any Adverse Event

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 4 Weeks After Cessation of Therapy (SVR4)

    SVR4 was defined as HCV RNA < LLOQ at 4 weeks after stopping study treatment.

    Measured: Posttreatment Week 4

  2. Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA < LLOQ at Week 2

    Measured: Week 2

  3. Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA < LLOQ at Week 4

    Measured: Week 4

  4. Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA < LLOQ at Week 8

    Measured: Week 8

  5. Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA < LLOQ at Week 12

    Measured: Week 12

  6. HCV RNA at Week 2

    Measured: Week 2

  7. HCV RNA at Week 4

    Measured: Week 4

  8. HCV RNA at Week 8

    Measured: Week 8

  9. HCV RNA at Week 12

    Measured: Week 12

  10. Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 2

    Measured: Baseline; Week 2

  11. Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 4

    Measured: Baseline; Week 4

  12. Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 8

    Measured: Baseline; Week 8

  13. Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 12

    Measured: Baseline; Week 12

  14. Percentage of Participants With Virologic Failure

    Virologic failure was defined as

    On-treatment virologic failure:

    • Breakthrough (confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ after having previously had HCV RNA < LLOQ on 2 consecutive measurements while on treatment), or
    • Rebound (confirmed > 1 log10 IU/mL increase in HCV RNA from nadir while on treatment), or
    • Non-response (HCV RNA persistently ≥ LLOQ through 12 weeks of treatment)

    Virologic relapse:

    • HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ during the post-treatment period having achieved HCV RNA < LLOQ at end of treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values or last available post-treatment measurement

    Measured: Up to Posttreatment Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SOF/VEL in people with Hepatitis C Virus Infection, run by Gilead Sciences at 15 sites in 3 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 14 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Spain, United Kingdom, Switzerland. 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 21 Aug 2018). 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 (SVR) 12 Weeks After Cessation of Therapy (SVR12) (time frame: Posttreatment Week 12). 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 NCT02781571, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Nov 2018.
