Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: PK Lead-in phase is: To evaluate the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) and confirm the dose of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) in pediatric subjects with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection Treatment Phase is: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of SOF/VEL for 12 weeks in paediatric subjects with chronic HCV;Secondary Objective: PK Lead-in Phase is: To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of 7 days of dosing of SOF/VEL in paediatric subjects with chronic HCV Treatment Phase is: Determine the efficacy of SOF/VEL for 12 weeks in paediatric subjects with chronic HCV infection, as assessed by the proportion of subjects with SVR 12 weeks after cessation of treatment; Determine the proportion of subjects with SVR 4 and 24 weeks; Evaluate the proportion of subjects with virologic failure; Evaluate the kinetics of circulating HCV RNA during treatment and after cessation of treatment; Evaluate the emergence of viral resistance to SOF and VEL during treatment and after cessation of treatment; Evaluate the effect of treatment with SOF/VEL on QoL; Evaluate the effect of SOF/VEL on growth and development of paediatric subjects during and after treatment; Evaluate the acceptability, including palatability, of formulations used;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of the PK Lead-in Phase is to determine steady-state PK, is AUCtau of VEL, SOF, and its major metabolite (GS-331007). The primary endpoint of the Treatment Phase is assessment of any AEs with a focus on AEs that lead to discontinuation of study drug.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: PK lead in phase - Day 7 Treatment phase - SVR 12 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The secondary endpoints of the PK Lead-in Phase are: - Antiviral activity measurements, including assessment of HCV RNA from baseline through Day 7. - Any AE leading to permanent discontinuation of study drug. The secondary endpoints of the Treatment Phase are: - The proportion of subjects with sustained virological response (SVR) 12 weeks after cessation of treatment (SVR12). SVR12 is the key efficacy endpoint. - The proportion of subjects with HCV RNA < LLOQ at 4 or 24 weeks after cessation of treatment (SVR4 and SVR24). - The proportion of subjects with virologic failure, including breakthrough/nonresponse and relapse - The proportion of subjects with HCV RNA < LLOQ on treatment - Emergence of viral resistance to SOF and /or VEL during treatment and treatment is discontinued - HCV RNA change from Baseline/Day 1 - Quality of life endpoints and neuropsychiatric assessments as measured by PedsQL™ Pediatric Quality of Life survey - Growth and development measurements including height and weight percentiles, Tanner Stage, parental height, and bone age - Acceptability assessed by swallowability and palatability ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: SVR 4, 12 and 24 weeks
