About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-label Study of Harvoni ® (Sofosbuvir Ledipasvir Fixed Dose Combination) in Subjects Infected With Chronic Hepatitis C and Advanced Heart Failure or Lung Disease

This is a multicenter study in Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infected adult patients who also have advanced cardiac disease or advanced lung disease.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter study in HCV infected adult patients who also have either advanced cardiac disease, or advanced lung disease. Advanced cardiac disease is defined as a marked limitation of physical activity, or discomfort upon physical activity. The patients in the advanced cardiac disease group must also have been hospitalized for heart failure within the last 12 months.

Advanced lung disease is defined as patients who have been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or interstitial lung disease (ILD). Patients in the COPD group must have abnormalities in their forced expiratory volume (FEV) test, which measures the amount of air exhaled. They may or may not need supplemental oxygen. Patients in the ILD group must have been diagnosed with ILD and require supplement oxygen at all times.

Being tested
Sofosbuvir/ledipasvir fixed dose combination(SOF/LDV FDC)
Medical subject headings
Hepatitis C, Chronic, Heart Failure, Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, Lung Diseases, Interstitial

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects Who Completed 24 Weeks of Therapy

    The primary safety endpoint is the number of subjects who complete a full course of therapy.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Subjects With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) 12

    The secondary outcome of efficacy will be determined by the number of subjects with hepatitis c virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) below a measurable laboratory limit, 12 weeks after completing therapy.

    Measured: 12 weeks after completing treatment

  2. Number of Subjects With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) 4

    The secondary outcome of efficacy will be determined by the number of subjects with hepatitis c virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) below a measurable laboratory limit, 4 weeks after completing treatment.

    Measured: 4 weeks after completing treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sofosbuvir/ledipasvir fixed dose combination(SOF/LDV FDC) in people with Hepatitis C, Chronic and Heart Failure, run by Duke University at 4 sites in United States.

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 16 inclusion and 22 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 21 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 Apr 2020). 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?

Number of Subjects Who Completed 24 Weeks of Therapy (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 NCT02858180, which also lists 9 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 21 Apr 2020.
