Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Willing and able to provide written
  • Male or female subjects between ≥ 18 years of age (or the legal age of consent per local regulations) and ≤ 85 years of age
  • Female subjects of : agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or to the use of an acceptable effective
  • Females must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and at Day 1 prior to dosing
  • Subjects must be direct-acting antiviral (DAA)-treatment-naïve, defined as never exposed to an approved or experimental DAA for
  • Documented medical history compatible with chronic HCV
  • Liver disease staging assessment as follows:

    • Absence of cirrhosis (F0 to F3)
    • Compensated cirrhosis (F4)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Female subject is pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Co-infected with virus (HBV; positive for hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]) and/or (HIV)
  • Abuse of alcohol and/or illicit drug use that could interfere with adherence to study requirements as judged by the investigator
  • Prior exposure to any DAA
  • Use of other drugs within 30 days of dosing or plans to enroll in another clinical trial of an investigational agent while participating in the present study
  • Subject with known allergy to the study medications or any of their components
  • History or signs of decompensated liver disease: ascites, variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, or other clinical signs of portal hypertension or hepatic insufficiency
  • Cirrhotic and has a score >6, corresponding to a Child-Pugh Class B or C
  • History of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or findings suggestive of possible HCC
  • Any other medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the subject or impact the validity of the study results
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Child-Pugh class

A score of how well the liver works in people with liver disease such as cirrhosis: class A is mild, B moderate and C severe.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Subjects Achieving Sustained Virologic Response at 12 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR12)

    SVR12 defined as plasma hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA less than the lower limit of quantitation (\<LLOQ) at 12 weeks post-treatment

    Time frame: Day 1 through 12 weeks after end of treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Subjects Experiencing Virologic Failure

    Virologic failure defined as a confirmed 1 log10 increase in HCV RNA from post-baseline nadir, or confirmed increase in HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ in any subject who achieved HCV RNA \< LLOQ.

    Time frame: Day 1 through 12 weeks after end of treatment

  2. Percentage of Subjects Achieving Sustained Virologic Response at 24 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR24)

    SVR24 defined as plasma HCV RNA less than the lower limit of quantitation (\<LLOQ) at 24 weeks post-treatment

    Time frame: Day 1 through 24 weeks after end of treatment
