Paritaprevir/r - Ombitasvir, ± Dasabuvir, ± Ribavirin in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C - An Observational Study in Austria (REAL)

The study seeks to provide evidence of the effectiveness and obtain patient reported outcome (PRO) and work productivity data of the interferon-free ABBVIE REGIMEN (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir +/- dasabuvir) +/- Ribavirin (RBV) in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected participants in Austria.

Exclusion criteria

none

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Sustained Virological Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR12)

    Time frame: 12 Weeks after the last dose of study drug

    SVR12 is defined as hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) levels < 50 IU/mL 12 weeks after the last actual dose of study drug.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Virological Response at End of Treatment (EoTR)

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks of treatment

    The percentage of participants with virological response (HCV RNA <50 IU/mL) at end of treatment (EoT, defined as last intake of ABBVIE REGIMEN or ribavirin [RBV]).

  2. Percentage of Participants With On-treatment Virologic Failure (Breakthrough)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 24 weeks

    The percentage of participants with on-treatment virologic failure (breakthrough [defined as at least one documented HCV RNA <50 IU/mL followed by HCV RNA >= 50 IU/mL during treatment]).

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving SVR12 (Core Population Sufficient Follow-up)

    Time frame: 12 weeks after last dose of study drug

    SVR12 is defined as HCV RNA levels < 50 IU/mL 12 weeks after the last actual dose of study drug in the Core Population Sufficient Follow-up (CPSFU).

  4. Percentage of Participants With Post-treatment Relapse

    Time frame: Up to 12 weeks after last dose of study drug

    The percentage of participants with relapse (defined as HCV RNA <50 IU/mL at EoT followed by HCV RNA ≥50 IU/mL)

Other outcomes

  1. Percentage of Planned Duration of Ribavirin (RBV) Taken

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks of treatment

    Adherence to RBV is defined as percentage of target dose (adherence=cumulated dose taken/ [initially prescribed dose x planned duration]).

  2. Total Score of Participant Activation According to the Patient Activation Measure (PAM-13) Questionnaire

    Time frame: Day 0 and End of Treatment (EoT)

    The PAM-13 item scale is a measure used to assess the patient knowledge, skill, and confidence for self-management. Each of the 13 items can be answered with one of four possible response options, which are "disagree strongly" (1), "disagree" (2), "agree" (3), "agree strongly" (4). Responses are summed and averaged to come up with an overall score of level 1 through level 4. The responses to the 13 questions are summed and transformed into a PAM Score between 0 and 100; a higher score indicates more knowledge and confidence to take action for self-management.

  3. Percentage of Participants With Concomitant Medications

    Time frame: Day 0 to end of treatment (up to 24 weeks)

    Percentage of participants taking at least 1 concomitant medication

  4. Percentage of Participants With Co-morbidities and/or Co-infections

    Time frame: Day 0

    Percentage of participants with co-morbidities and/or co-infections at baseline (Day 0).

  5. Quality of Life Measured With the EuroQol 5 Dimension 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) Questionnaire

    Time frame: Day 0 and post treatment week 12

    The EQ-5D-5L is a health state utility instrument that evaluates preference for health status (utility). The 5 items in the EQ-5D-5L comprise 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) to describe the subject's current health state. Each dimension comprises 5 levels with corresponding numeric scores, where 1 indicates no problems, and 5 indicates extreme problems. A unique EQ-5D-5L health state is defined by combining the numeric level scores for each of the 5 dimensions and the total score is normalized from -0.594 to 1.000, with higher scores representing a better health state. An increase in the EQ-5D-5L total score indicates improvement. The EQ-5D visual analogue scale (VAS) records the participant's self-rated health status on a vertical graduated scale from 0 to 100, with 0 indicating the worst imaginable health state and 100 indicating the best imaginable health state. An increase in EQ-5D-5L VAS score indicates improvement.

  6. Change in Mean Score From Baseline to 12 Weeks After End of Treatment (EOT) in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) Version 2: Hepatitis C Questionnaire

    Time frame: Day 0 to post treatment week 12

    The WPAI questionnaire was used to measure work absenteeism, work presenteeism, work productivity impairment and daily activity impairment. Results of WPAI are expressed as a percentage of impairment from 0 to 100, with higher percentages indicating greater impairment and less productivity: Presenteeism - percentage of impairment while working due to health problem; Total work productivity impairment - percentage of overall work impairment due to health problem Absenteeism - percentage of work time missed due to health problem; Total activity impairment - percentage of general (non-work) activity impairment due to health problem

  7. Patient Support Program (PSP) Utilization and Satisfaction Assessment

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks of treatment

    The AbbVie PSP included educational and information material (including printed, online, pillbox), digital and mobile resource (web-portal), digital and mobile resources (reminders). The PSP utilization and satisfaction assessment evaluated the frequency of utilization (usually daily, several times per week, usually once weekly, less than once weekly) and patient's overall satisfaction (very good, good, satisfactory) with their respective PSP.

  8. Percentage of Participants With Adherence to Planned RBV Target Dose Taken

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks of treatment

    Adherence to RBV is defined as percentage of target dose (adherence=cumulated number of pills taken / [initially prescribed number of pills x planned duration]) and categorized as follows: >105%, >95% - <=105%, >80% - <=95%, >50% - <=80%, <=50%.

  9. Percentage of Participants Deviating From the Target ABBVIE Regimen Duration

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks of treatment

    Deviations from the target dose of the ABBVIE REGIMEN were defined as the actual duration is shortened/prolonged (exceedence) for more than 7 days.

  10. Percentage of Participants With Adherence to Planned ABBVIE Regimen Target Dose Taken

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks of treatment

    Adherence to the ABBVIE REGIMEN was defined as percentage of target dose (adherence=cumulated number of pills taken / [initially prescribed number of pills x planned duration]) and categorized as follows: >105%, >95% to <=105%, >80% to <=95%, >50% to <=80%, <=50%.
