Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare the percentage of subjects achieving a 12-week sustained virological response, SVR 12 (HCV RNA below lower limit of quantification at week 12 after end of treatment) after 4 weeks of treatment with either Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir and ribavirin or Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir, ribavirin and interferon alpha 2a.;Secondary Objective: To compare the percentage of subjects achieving a 24-week sustained virological response at post treatment, SVR 12 (HCV RNA below LLOQ) after 4 weeks of treatment with Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir and ribavirin with or without interferon alpha 2a. To evaluate the drop out rate due to non medical reasons Describe and compare the proportion of patients achieving HCV RNA < LLOQ by day 7, day 14, day 21, end of treatment (day 28) and post treatment week 4 and its relation to SVR 12. Describe the mean time to below LLOQ HCV RNA achieved by treatment group To demonstrate the feasibility of delivering HCV treatment at a Drug Treatment Center ;Primary end point(s): HCV RNA in serum measured by PCR at 12 weeks post treatment by intention to treat (ITT) analysis. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 week after completed treatment | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): HCV RNA in serum measured by PCR at 24 weeks post treatment by intention to treat (ITT) analysis. Dropout rate for nonmedical reasons (To demonstrate the feasibility of delivering HCV treatment at a Drug Treatment Center) SVR12 and 24 by per protocol analysis Proportion of patients with undetectable HCV RNA and HCVRNA< 25 IU/ml by day 7, day 14 and day 21, end of treatment (day 28) and 4 weeks post treatment ( SVR 4) Mean time to below LLOQ HCV RNA achieved by treatment group ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of trial for all | — |
