Hepatitis C, HIV-1 Infection

Brief summary

People who are infected with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) have a great chance of being cured of the infection when they are treated with sofosbuvir. However, in some instances, treatment with sofosbuvir-containing therapy does not work. It is not known if people respond to retreatment with sofosbuvir, after it did not work the first time. There is an important need to understand retreatment options in those instances. This clinical trial was done to study the response to two different regimens, ledipasvir/sofosbuvir and ledipasvir/sofosbuvir with ribavirin, and to see if they are safe and well-tolerated in HCV-infected persons whose previous treatment with sofosbuvir had failed.

Detailed description

There is a pressing need to understand appropriate retreatment options for HCV-infected patients who fail direct acting antiviral (DAA)-based regimens. To date, over 100,000 prescriptions have been written for SOF. Recent data indicate that SOF-based treatment defined as SOF/RBV, SOF/pegylated-interferon (PEG-IFN)/RBV or SOF/simeprevir (SIM) +/- RBV have led to treatment response of 70-92% in HCV genotype (GT) 1 patients, depending on the regimen used and presence of liver cirrhosis. Thus, there is a growing number of individuals who have failed SOF-based regimens and are in need of a retreatment strategy, the majority of which are anticipated to be HCV GT1, given the US distribution of genotypes. There are no data to inform retreatment strategies for HIV-infected individuals with SOF failure, who have traditionally represented a harder to treat group and are impacted by DAA-antiretroviral (ARV) interactions. This was a phase II retreatment study of HCV GT1 and HIV coinfected participants who had previous HCV virologic failure on a SOF-based regimen. Participants were randomized to one of two treatment arms: 12 weeks of LDV/SOF with weight-based RBV (Arm A) or 24 weeks of LDV/SOF alone (Arm B). The targeted sample size was 40, 20 participants in each arm. Post-entry, the study visits were scheduled at weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 after study entry (with week 16, 20, 24 visits limited to those on the 24-week regimen), and at 4, 12 and 24 weeks after treatment discontinuation. The total study duration was 36 weeks in Arm A and 48 weeks in Arm B. At each visit, a physical examination and blood collection were conducted. HCV RNA was tested at each visit. For female participants of reproductive potential, pregnancy tests were done. At on-treatment visits, participants also completed an HCV treatment adherence questionnaire. Urinalysis was conducted at all on-treatment visits and at 4 weeks post treatment. At select visits, plasma, whole blood, urine and dried blood spots were collected. The study was randomized because there was clinical equipoise on the benefits and drawbacks in the two study arms. The study was not designed to be powered for comparisons between the randomized study arms, and no formal statistical comparisons were conducted. The primary analysis was conducted as a single-arm analysis for each regimen. The study experienced enrollment difficulties due to the small number of HCV treatment failures from select SOF-based regimens who would be eligible for this study, and closed to accrual prematurely. The participants enrolled remained on study until completion of follow-up.

Interventions

Participants were prescribed one fixed dose tablet of LDV 90 mg/SOF 400 mg orally per day.

DRUGRibavirin

Based on weight at entry: For weight \<75 kg, participants were prescribed 1000 mg of RBV per day, divided into two doses to be taken orally. For weight ≥75 kg: participants were prescribed 1200 mg of RBV per day, divided into two doses to be taken orally.

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response at 12 Weeks After Treatment Discontinuation (SVR12)At 12 weeks after treatment discontinuation (i.e., at 24 weeks after study entry in Arm A and at 36 weeks after study entry in Arm B).SVR12 was defined as HCV RNA below the LLOQ of the assay (either target detected \[TD\] or target not detected \[TND\]) at 12 weeks after treatment discontinuation. The sample within the visit window, closest to the targeted time was used. If there was no HCV RNA sample within visit window, then the participant was considered not to have achieved SVR12, unless there were preceding and subsequent HCV RNA measurements that were both \<LLOQ (either TD or TND). HCV RNA testing was conducted at a central laboratory using the COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® HCV Quantitative Test, version 2.0 (Roche Diagnostics, Rotkreuz, Switzerland). Wilson (score) method was used for confidence intervals.

Events that were ongoing at the same grade from prior to study treatment initiation were excluded. AEs were graded by the clinicians according to the Division of AIDS (DAIDS) AE Grading Table (V2.0) as follows: Grade 1=Mild, Grade 2=Moderate, Grade 3=Severe, Grade 4=Potentially Life-Threatening.
