Efficacy and Safety of Sofosbuvir Plus Ribavirin in Chronic Genotype 1, 2 and 3 Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Co-infected Adults

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir (SOF; GS-7977) plus ribavirin (RBV) in adults with chronic genotypes 1, 2, and 3 HCV infection who are coinfected with HIV-1.

Key information

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent
  • Male or female, age ≥ 18 years with chronic HCV and HIV-1 infection
  • HCV RNA > 1 x 10^4 IU/mL at screening
  • Infection with HCV genotype 1, 2 or 3 as determined at screening
  • HIV-1 infection confirmed with positive ELISA or Western blot at screening
  • Medical records must be sufficient to be categorized on interferon (IFN) eligibility or prior treatment history with PEG/RBV.
  • Confirmation of chronic HCV infection
  • Ability to determine presence/absence of cirrhosis.
  • HIV antiretroviral therapy (ARV) criteria of one of the following:
  • ARV untreated with a CD4 T-cell count > 500 cells/mm^3
  • On a stable, protocol-approved, ARV for > 8 weeks prior to screening with a CD4 T-cell count > 200 cells/mm^3 and a documented undetectable plasma HIV-1 RNA level for ≥ 8 weeks preceding the screening visit
  • Approved HIV antiretroviral medications based on drug interaction studies
  • Not been treated with any investigational drug or device within 30 days of the screening visit
  • Females if confirmed that she is not pregnant or nursing of non-childbearing potential or of childbearing potential but has a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and agrees to use protocol approved method of birth control from screening through 6 months after the last dose of RBV
  • Males who agree to consistently and correctly use a condom while their female partner agrees to use protocol approved method of birth control from screening through 7 months after the last dose of RBV
  • Must be of generally good health as determined by the investigator.
  • Liver imaging within 6 months of baseline/Day 1 is required in cirrhotic patients only, to exclude hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

Exclusion criteria

  • Non-genotype 1/2/3 or mixed genotype at screening
  • Genotype 1 with prior treatment for HCV
  • Poor control with ARV regimen
  • Prior exposure to a direct-acting antiviral targeting the HCV nonstructural protein (NS)5B polymerase
  • Chronic liver disease of a non-HCV etiology (eg, hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, α1 antitrypsin deficiency, cholangitis)
  • A new AIDS-defining condition diagnosed within 30 days prior to screening
  • Active, serious infection (other than HIV or HCV) requiring parenteral antibiotics, antivirals or antifungals within 30 days prior to baseline
  • Infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV)
  • Contraindication to RBV therapy
  • Chronic use of systemically administered immunosuppressive agents (eg, prednisone equivalent > 10 mg/day)
  • History of solid organ transplantation or malignancy diagnosed or treated within 5 years
  • Current or prior history of clinical hepatic decompensation or other significant gastrointestinal disorder

Treatment and study plan

SOF

Drug

Sofosbuvir (SOF) 400 mg tablet administered orally once daily

Other names: GS-7977, PSI-7977, Sovaldi®

RBV

Drug

Ribavirin (RBV) tablets administered orally in a divided daily dose according to package insert weight-based dosing recommendations (< 75kg = 1000 mg and ≥ 75 kg = 1200 mg)

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) at 12 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR12)

    Time frame: Posttreatment Week 12

    SVR12 was defined as HCV RNA < the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ; ie, 25 IU/mL) at 12 weeks after stopping study treatment.

  2. Incidence of Adverse Events Leading to Permanent Discontinuation of Study Drug(s)

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

    The percentage of participants discontinuing any study drug due to an adverse event was summarized.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response at 4 and 24 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR4 and SVR24)

    Time frame: Posttreatment Weeks 4 and 24

    SVR4 and SVR24 were defined as HCV RNA < LLOQ at 4 and 24 weeks following the last dose of study drug, respectively.

  2. Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 1

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 1

  3. Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 2

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 2

  4. Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 4

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 4

  5. Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 6

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 6

  6. Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 8

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 8

  7. Percentage of Participants Experiencing On-treatment Virologic Failure

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

    On-treatment virologic failure was defined as:

    • Viral breakthrough: HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ after having previously had HCV RNA < LLOQ while on treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values (second confirmation value may have been posttreatment) or with a last available on-treatment measurement and no subsequent follow-up values, or
    • Viral rebound: > 1 log10 IU/mL increase in HCV RNA from nadir while on treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values (second confirmation value may have been posttreatment) or with a last available on-treatment measurement and no subsequent follow-up values, or
    • Nonresponse: HCV RNA persistently ≥ LLOQ through 8 weeks of treatment
  8. Percentage of Participants Experiencing Viral Relapse

    Time frame: Up to Posttreatment Week 24

    Viral relapse was defined as having achieved undetectable HCV RNA levels (HCV RNA < LLOQ) at end of treatment, but did not achieve an SVR.
