Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy, as virological response at 12 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR-12), of the combined therapy Sofosbuvir + Ribavirin + pegylated interferon in patients with chronic hepatitis HCV genotype 1 who have failed a prior course of treatment with ribavirin and interferon alpha, assuming the achievement of an effectiveness of 71% according to what is predicted by the model FDA;Secondary Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness (SVR-12) of the combined treatment Sofosbuvir + pegylated interferon + ribavirin in relation to the viral response to the previous cycle of dual therapy (null-response, relapsers, partial responders). • Evaluate the effectiveness (SVR-12) of the combined treatment Sofosbuvir + pegylated interferon + ribavirin in relation to the stage of liver disease (defined as METAVIR fibrosis stage) and the presence or absence of cirrhosis. • Confirm the safety profile and tolerability of the combined treatment Sofosbuvir + pegylated interferon + ribavirin in patients with chronic hepatitis HCV genotype 1 who have failed at least six months a previous course of treatment with ribavirin and pegylated interferon and which do not show contraindications to the use of pegylated interferon and ribavirin. • Evaluate the proportion of interruption of the course of treatment due to adverse events;Primary end point(s): virological response at 12 weeks after the end of treatment (proportion of SVR-12, or negative viremia) of combination therapy pegylated interferon + ribavirin + Sofosbuvir;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at 12 weeks after the end of treatment | — |
