SOF
DrugSofosbuvir (SOF) 400 mg tablet administered orally once daily
Other names: Sovaldi®, GS-7977, PSI-7977
NCT Number: NCT01542788
This multicenter study was to evaluate subjects with chronic genotype 2 or 3 HCV infection who were interferon (IFN) ineligible, IFN intolerant or unwilling to take IFN. Participants were randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive sofosbuvir (SOF)+ribavirin (RBV), or placebo to match SOF+placebo to match RBV. Randomization was stratified by presence/absence of cirrhosis. Approximately 20% of participants may have had evidence of cirrhosis at screening.

Participants who were randomized to the placebo arm and completed all scheduled study procedures were eligible to receive active SOF+RBV in open-label Study GS-US-334-0109.
Participants who do not achieve sustained virologic response (SVR) were eligible for enrollment in the Sequence Registry Study GS-US-248-0123. The purpose of the Sequence Registry Study is to monitor the persistence of resistant mutations for up to 3 years.
Participants who achieved SVR were eligible for enrollment in the SVR Registry Study GS-US-248-0122. The purpose of the SVR Registry Study is to evaluate durability of SVR for up to 3 years after treatment.

Time frame: Post-treatment Week 24
SVR24 was defined as HCV RNA < LLOQ 24 weeks after cessation of therapy
Time frame: Baseline to Week 12
Viral breakthrough was defined as HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ after having previously had HCV RNA < LLOQ while receiving treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values (second confirmation value could be posttreatment), or last available on-treatment measurement with no subsequent follow-up values
Time frame: End of treatment to post-treatment Week 24
Viral relapse was defined as HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ during the posttreatment period having achieved HCV RNA < LLOQ at end of treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values or last available posttreatment measurement
