An Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics Study of Simeprevir, Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir in Participants With Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1 or 4 Infection and Decompensated Liver Disease
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a 12-week regimen containing simeprevir, daclatasvir and sofosbuvir in participants with decompensated liver disease (the liver function is insufficient) due to genotype 1 or 4 Hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) C virus (HCV) infection by assessing sustained virologic response 12-weeks after the end of study drug treatment (SVR12).

About this study
This is an open-label (all people know which treatment the participants receive) Phase 2 study to investigate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of simeprevir, daclatasvir and sofosbuvir in treatment-naive (participants have never received HCV treatment with any approved or investigational agent) and treatment - experienced (participants have failed at least one previous course of [Pegylated] interferon [(Peg)IFN], with or without Ribavirin) participants. Participants will be assigned to 1 of 2 panels: Panel 1 (n=20): Child-Pugh score less than (<) 7 with evidence of portal hypertension (confirmed by presence of esophageal varices or HVPG greater than or equal to [>=] 10 mm Hg); Panel 2 (n=20): Child-Pugh score 7 to 9 (extremes included). The total study duration for each participant will be approximately 276 weeks. The study will consist of 3 parts: Screening Phase (approximately 4 weeks) and open-label treatment Phase (from Week 4 to 16) and follow-up Phase (until 5 years after the actual end of study drug treatment). Participants will receive simeprevir (150 milligram [mg] capsule), daclatasvir (60 mg tablet) and sofosbuvir (400 mg tablet) orally once daily for 12 weeks. Efficacy will be primarily evaluated by percentage of participants with SVR12. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.
Who can participate
Healthy volunteers accepted: No
Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Primary outcomes
-
Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks After End of Study Drug Treatment (SVR12)
Time frame: Week 24
Participants were considered to have achieved SVR12 if the hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) was less than (<) lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; 15 international unit per milliliter [IU/mL]) detectable or undetectable at 12 weeks after the end of study drug treatment.
Secondary outcomes
-
Percentage of Participants With On-Treatment Virologic Response
Time frame: Week 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
On-treatment virologic response was determined by HCV RNA results satisfying a specified threshold. The following thresholds were considered at any time point: <LLOQ undetectable, <LLOQ detectable, and <LLOQ undetectable or detectable. The LLOQ value was 15 IU/mL. Very rapid virologic response (vRVR) is undetectable HCV RNA at Week 2 while on treatment and Rapid virologic response (RVR) is undetectable HCV RNA at Week 4 while on treatment.
-
Percentage of Participants With SVR 4 Weeks After End of Study Drug Treatment (SVR4) and SVR 24 Weeks After End of Study Drug Treatment (SVR24)
Time frame: Week 16 and Week 36
Participants were considered to have achieved SVR4 and SVR24 if the HCV RNA was <LLOQ detectable or undetectable at 4 weeks and 24 weeks respectively after the end of study drug treatment. The LLOQ value was 15 IU/mL.
-
Percentage of Participants With HCV NS3/4A Sequence, NS5A and NS5B After End of Treatment in Participants Not Achieving SVR
Time frame: Baseline, Day 3, Week 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, and Year 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 after end of treatment
Sequencing of the HCV nonstructural protein 3/4A (NS3/4A), nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) and nonstructural protein 5B (NS5B) genes was done to identify pre-existing sequence polymorphisms and characterize emerging HCV viral variants in participants not achieving SVR. All participants in this study achieved SVR12. Therefore, reasons for not achieving SVR12 are not applicable.
