About this study

Official title: Simplifying Hepatitis C Antiviral Therapy in Rwanda for Elsewhere in the Developing World: Pangenotypic and Retreatment Study (SHARED3)

The main purpose of the study is to determine the antiviral efficacy and evaluate the safety and tolerability of sofosbuvir/ velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) and sofosbuvir/ velpatasvir/ voxilaprevir (SOF/VEL/VOX) used to treat individuals with chronic hepatitis C virus infection in Rwanda adults.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label single-arm study that will examine the antiviral efficacy, safety and tolerability of 12 weeks daily therapy with fixed dose combination (FDC) of SOF/VEL and SOF/VEL/VOX administered respectively in HCV-infected treatment-naïve adult participants and in HCV-infected individuals with a history of virologic failure to SOF/LDV or other DAA-containing regimen. A total of 100 participants will be enrolled in this portion of the SHARED study, labelled the "SHARED 3 study": 60 treatment-naïve participants and 40 individuals with history of virologic failure to SOF/LDV or other DAA-containing regimen

  4. Proportion of HIV co-infected subjects that maintain HIV-1 RNA< 200 copies/mL while on HCV treatment

    Proportion of HIV co-infected subjects that maintain HIV-1 RNA< 200 copies/mL while on HCV treatment, with HIV-1 RNA test performed at completion of the study treatment (week 12)

    Measured: After study completion (week 24)

  5. Effect of SOF/VEL FDC and SOF/VEL/VOX FDC and SVR12 on quality of life

    Effect of SOF/VEL FDC and SOF/VEL/VOX FDC and SVR12 on quality of life, using the MOS HIV questionnaire, with proportion of patients showing significant improvement on physical quality of life and mental quality of life from pre- to post- treatment

Model description
Participants will be assigned to one of the following two groups in parallel for the duration of the study, based on treatment indication to be put on SOF/VEL or SOF/VEL/VOX: * sofosbubir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) FDC once daily for 12 weeks will be administered to HCV-infected individuals naïve to DAA therapy regimen (in this group we consider also HCV-infected individuals who have failed interferon-based therapy) who meet other eligibility criteria; * sofosbubir/velpatasvir /voxilaprevir (SOF/VEL/VOX) FDC once daily for 12 weeks will be administered to HCV treatment-experienced participants (i.e. HCV-infected individuals with a history of virologic failure to SOF/LDV or other DAA-containing regimen) who meet other eligibility criteria.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing sofosbubir/velpatasvir and sofosbubir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir in people with Hepatitis C, Chronic, run by Partners in Health at 1 site in Rwanda.

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 19 inclusion and 7 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 11 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Rwanda. 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?

Contact Fabienne Shumbusho, MD (+250788559065, Fshumbusho@pih.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of participants with sustained viral response 12 weeks after discontinuation of study treatment (SVR12) (time frame: After study completion (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 NCT03888729, which also lists 3 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 11 Sep 2019.
