Treatment and study plan

Telaprevir and Sofosbuvir

Drug

All subjects will have time to read and discuss IRB approved consent form prior to any study procedures. Following proper consenting, subjects will undergo physical exam including ECG and bloodwork prior to baseline visit. Subjects will return for research visits (vitals, collection of AEs, bloodwork, drug accountability) on Day 3, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 of treatment and 4, 12, and 24 weeks after end of treatment. PK samples will be collected at week 2 and week 10.

Other names: TVR, SOF

Primary outcomes

  1. Frequency of Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation of Both Telaprevir and Sofosbuvir Among Subjects Treated With Telaprevir and Sofosbuvir

    Time frame: 12 weeks-January 3, 2014- April 10, 2014

    Study drug adherence and adverse events were collected on all enrolled subjects and graded using the DAIDS scale. Any adverse events leading to discontinuation of both Telaprevir and Sofosbuvir were collected and are hereby reported.

  2. Safety of Telaprevir and Sofosbuvir When Dosed in Combination for 12 Weeks

    Time frame: 1/3/2014-4/10/2014

    The number of subjects who experienced Grade 3 anemia. Complete blood count was collected at baseline, week 2, week 4, week 8, week 12, week 18, and week 24. Incidence of moderate anemia (Grade 3) observed in the study treatment period.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Characterize Steady State of Sofosbuvir Active SOF Metabolite, GS-331007

    Time frame: 1/17/2014-3/26/2014

    Sparse Pharmokinetic blood samples were collected at Week 2 and Week 10 (prior to daily dose) in patients treated with Telaprevir and Sofosbuvir.

  2. Proportion of Subjects Who Achieve Undetectable Hepatitis C Virus RNA at 12 Weeks After Completing Study Drug Regimen

    Time frame: 6/16/2014-7/2/2014

    Plasma HCV RNA levels were assessed using the COBAS TaqMan HCV RNA assay test (v2.0; Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN, USA; LLOQ=25 IU/mL;limit of detection =15 IU/mL)

  3. Proportion of Subjects With Viral Relapse

    Time frame: 1/3/2014-9/8/2014

    Defined as Subjects who have undetectable HCV RNA at end of treatment, and confirmed detectable HCV RNA between end of treatment and SVR12 planned assessment time point.

Other outcomes

  1. Number of Subjects With Sustained Virologic Response at 4 Weeks After Completion of Last Dose

    Time frame: 4/22/2014-5/6/2014

    Subjects who complete assigned treatment and have undetectable HCV RNA at 12 weeks after the last planned dose of study treatment
