About this study
Official title: Safety and Fibrosis Improvement of Grazoprevir and Elbasvir for HCV GT1 and GT6 With or Without HIV
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination treatment with grazoprevir + elbasvir for compensated cirrhotic participants with chronic genotype 1 (GT1) and genotype 6 (GT6) hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with or without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
Read the detailed description
Total 100 patients with compensated cirrhosis, chronically infected with HCV GT1 or GT6 with or without HIV infection will be included. Patients with HCV GT1 and GT6 will be enrolled on a 1:1 basis (approximately 50 patients with GT1 and 50 patients with GT6). Treatment-naïve patients will be treated with the combination of grazoprevir plus elbasvir for 12 weeks. Treatment-experienced patients, including null responders, partial responders or post-treatment relapsers, will be assigned to treat with the combination plus weight-based RBV for 16 weeks. The dosages of study drugs are 100 mg of grazoprevir once daily and 50 mg of elbasvir once daily. All patients will follow up to assess SVR (defined by HCV RNA level <12 IU/mL) at week12 and week 24 after treatment (SVR12 and SVR24, respectively). Additionally, participants will be evaluated the longitudinal changes in LS values by TE up to 240 weeks (5 years) after treatment

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Rate of SVR12
To evaluate the rate of sustained virological response (SVR) at 12 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR12) in compensated cirrhotic participants with GT1 and GT6 HCV infection with or without HIV infection treated with the combination of grazoprevir and elbasvir
Measured: 12 weeks post-treatment
Secondary outcomes (3)
Rate of SVR24
To evaluate the rate of sustained virological response (SVR) at 24 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR24)
Measured: 24 weeks post-treatment
Decline of liver stiffness
To evaluate the percentage of participants achieving a significant decline in liver stiffness (LS) values (defined as a ≥30% decrease from baseline) up to 240 weeks (5 years) after treatment
Measured: 5 years post-treatment
changes in liver stiffness
To compare the longitudinal changes in LS values over time between participants and untreated historical controls
Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Grazaoprevir/Elbasavir and Grazaoprevir/Elbasavir/RBV in people with Compensated Cirrhosis, run by The HIV Netherlands Australia Thailand Research Collaboration at 2 sites in Thailand.
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 9 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in Thailand. 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?
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?
Rate of SVR12 (time frame: 12 weeks post-treatment). 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 13 Feb 2020.
