Brief summary

Phase 1 of this study compared the effectiveness of 3 approved DAA (direct-acting antiviral) HCV treatment regimens to learn whether they worked equally well under real-world conditions. Phase 2 of this study began early 2017 with removal of 1 DAA regimen, limiting randomization to just 2 FDA approved DAA regimens. Patients receiving HCV therapy in community and academic clinics were offered the opportunity to consent to be randomly assigned to one of three (phase 1) or one of two (phase 2) regimens and observed for outcomes. Once randomized, all medical care, laboratory testing, and any disease or side effect management were assumed by usual care conditions, and patient-reported outcomes were collected outside clinic in keeping with pragmatic design principles.

Detailed description

In Phase 1 of this study, consented patients were randomized to 1 of the following 3 HCV DAA treatments: 1) Harvoni® (SOF/LDV) 2) Viekira Pak™ (PrOD) 3) Zepatier™ (EBR/GZR) with the optional addition of Ribavirin (RBV) and the length of treatment determined by the individual provider. In Phase 2 of this study, consented patients were randomized to 1 of 2 FDA approved HCV treatments: Harvoni® or Zepatier™. Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 subjects had up to 1 tablespoon of blood drawn for HCV resistance testing and future biorepository testing (following appropriate additional consent). The results of testing determined whether a genotype 1a subject randomized to Zepatier would be provided 12 or 16 wks of Zepatier. Following enrollment/randomization, participants completed patient reported outcome questionnaires (PROs) via electronic device or telephone. Following baseline/randomization, participants were asked to complete surveys again at Wk 4 of treatment, End of Treatment, 1 and 3 year post treatment. Patients continued standard medical care throughout study. Data was abstracted from test results and medical records throughout treatment and for up to 3 years post treatment.

Median Change in Nausea PRO Score -Phase 1Baseline to end of treatmentPatients completed the PROMIS® Nausea Short Form at Baseline (T1) and on-treatment. PROMIS raw scores from each of the completed questionnaires were converted to standardized T-scores. Change was calculated as the difference between baseline and on-treatment score. T-scores for the PROMIS Nausea and Vomiting 4a scale range from 45.0 - 80.1. Higher scores indicate worse nausea. Negative values for mean change represent improvement. The estimates of change and differences were obtained from a constrained longitudinal linear mixed-effects model that treated the baseline score as one of the outcomes.
Mean Change in Fatigue PRO Score -Phase 1Baseline to On-treatmentFatigue severity collected from validated, Patient Reported Outcomes survey (PROs), 'PROMIS Fatigue Short Form'. PROMIS® T-scores were computated to compare difference between baseline value of PROMIS score to the highest (worst) score during treatment. Results presented as computated t-score from baseline to average of on Treatment Scores. A positive (+) score suggests improvements in functional well-being. A negative (-) PRO change score is suggestive of symptom improvement or lack of drug side effect. PROMIS Fatigue Score scale per question: 1=Never, 2=Rarely, 3=Sometimes, 4=Often, 5=Always with 7 questions for a total maximum score of 35.

Mean Change in HCV- PRO- Phase 1Baseline to End of TreatmentHCV-PRO, a survey for patients with HCV that measures physical, emotional, and social functioning, productivity, intimacy, and perception of quality of life, was used to assess 'overall functioning and well-being'. In general, lower score is worst outcome and higher scores indicate greater well-being and functioning. However, for ease of interpretation, HCV-PRO scale has been transformed by using '100 - HCV-PRO' ultimately revising the score to mean 0 (lowest score) is best to 100 (worst outcome). A positive change (End of treatment to baseline) suggests improvements in functional well-being. Total score = (SUM-N)/(4\*N)\*100, where N is the number of questions answered.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in HCV-associated Symptoms (PROMIS Measures) After HCV Treatment Initiation1 year post treatment discontinuation (Early post-tx)Change in HCV-associated symptoms was calculated as the mean differences of mean scores from multiple surveys from the NIH Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-- Fatigue, nausea, belly pain, sleep disturbance, and diarrhea) and functional status (well-being) when comparing baseline to early post-treatment and late post treatment surveys. Mean change scores were calculated by comparing baseline to early post-treatment (1 yr) and late post-treatment (approximately 3 years) surveys. T-scores for the PROMIS Nausea and Vomiting 4a scale range from 45.0 - 80.1. Higher scores indicate worse nausea. Negative values for mean change represent improvement.Negative numbers suggest better symptoms (improvement in HCV-associated symptoms). PROMIS Fatigue Score scale per question: 1=Never, 2=Rarely, 3=Sometimes, 4=Often, 5=Always with 7 questions for a total maximum score of 35.HCV-PRO positive estimates suggest baseline functional well-being improvement.
Post-treatment Progression/Regression of Liver Disease-Fib-4Baseline to up to 3 years post treatment discontinuationMean change (delta) in FIB-4, an indirect non-invasive measure of liver fibrosis, calculated as baseline median -long term follow up median, following SVR after any of the study treatment regimens. Change in FIB-4 where negative values indicate improvement in liver fibrosis score and positive values indicate worsening of fibrosis score. There is no upper or lower limit for change. FIB-4 = age (years) \* AST(IU/L)/Platelets (10\^3/L) \* ALT\^.5(IU/L). In general, Score of 0-1.29 is low risk for advanced fibrosis, 1.30-1.67: intermediate risk for advanced liver fibrosis, \>2.67: high risk for advanced fibrosis.
Change in Functional Status (HCV-PRO) Within TreatmentTreatment start date up to 2 years post-treatmentHCV-PRO score, a validated PROMIS survey used to evaluate overall functioning and well-being in HCV patients, was utilized to compare long-term 'within treatment' changes of functional well-being. In general, lower score is worst outcome and higher scores indicate greater well-being and functioning. However, for ease of interpretation, HCV-PRO scale has been transformed by using '100 - HCV-PRO' ultimately revising the score to mean 0 (lowest score) is best to 100 (worst outcome). A positive estimate (Post treatment to baseline) suggests baseline functional well-being improvement. Total score = (SUM-N)/(4\*N)\*100, where N is the number of questions answered.
Number of Participants With Adverse Events That Caused Treatment Discontinuation-EBR/GZR vs. LDV/SOFTreatment start date through treatment completion (up to 24 weeks)The number of participants with adverse events that led to early treatment discontinuation (defined as duration less than originally prescribed treatment regimen)

HCV SVR Durability-Patients With CirrhosisUp to 132 weeks post HCV treatmentPercentage of Cirrhotic patients with persistence of viral cure, SVR, (SVR= Sustained Virologic Response) defined as undetectable HCV RNA at least 24 weeks following HCV Treatment.
Impact of Baseline NS5A RASs on Treatment Outcomes-Phase 212 weeks post HCV treatmentNumber of participants who achieved SVR (sustained virologic response), defined as undetectable HCV RNA 12 weeks post-treatment with RASs (Resistant Associated Substitutions) after treatment with EBR/GZR or SOF/LDV regimen
Treatment Non-Adherence Probability Estimates12-16 weeks of HCV treatmentThe Voils Medication Adherence Survey (VMAS) was used to evaluate medication adherence during HCV treatment. Participants responded to three questions about the extent of adherence during the past seven days of treatment (during early and late on-treatment occasions). Participants responded using a five-point ordinal scale of missed dosing from 1 (none of the time) to 5 (all of the time). On each occasion participants were coded as being Non-adherent if any response was \> 1, otherwise they were coded as Adherent. Probability estimates of percentage of patients reporting non-adherence were calculated per HCV treatment (Direct Acting Antiviral-DAA) regimen: 1)EBR/GZV (elbasvir/grazoprevir, 2)SOF/LDV (sofosbuvir/ledipasvir), 3)PrOD

Recruitment details

Participants were consented at 34 US centers Between June 2016 and March 2018. Patients' insurance was screened for inclusion of SOF/LDV on formulary (the HCV regimen not provided by the study). However, following randomization, participants who were unable to obtain SOF/LDV through insurance received 1 of 2 Direct Acting Antiviral (DAA) HCV Treatment regimens 1)EBR/GZR or 2)PrOD during Phase 1 and received EBR/GZR during Phase 2.

Pre-assignment details

This study initially (Phase 1) randomized subjects to receive 1 of 3 HCV DAA regimens (EBR/GZR +/- RBV, LDV/SOF +/- RBV, or PrOD +/-RBV). In phase 2 of this study, randomization to PrOD regimen was discontinued and newly enrolled subjects were randomized to either EBR/GZR +/- RBV or LDV/SOF +/- RBV. Efficacy data was analyzed via original 'randomization' and as subjects were 'actually treated (regimen actually received)' while safety analysis was evaluated by actual treatment received.

Mean Change in Fatigue PRO Score -Phase 1

Fatigue severity collected from validated, Patient Reported Outcomes survey (PROs), 'PROMIS Fatigue Short Form'. PROMIS® T-scores were computated to compare difference between baseline value of PROMIS score to the highest (worst) score during treatment. Results presented as computated t-score from baseline to average of on Treatment Scores. A positive (+) score suggests improvements in functional well-being. A negative (-) PRO change score is suggestive of symptom improvement or lack of drug side effect. PROMIS Fatigue Score scale per question: 1=Never, 2=Rarely, 3=Sometimes, 4=Often, 5=Always with 7 questions for a total maximum score of 35.

Mean Change in HCV-PRO (Functional Well-being) EBR/GZR vs. SOF/LDV Score-Phase 2

HCV-PRO, a survey designed to assess functional status of patients with HCV and measures physical, emotional, and social functioning, productivity, intimacy, and perception of quality of life, was used to assess functional well-being. In general, lower score is worst outcome and higher scores indicate greater well-being and functioning. However, for ease of interpretation, HCV-PRO scale has been transformed by using '100 - HCV-PRO' ultimately revising the score to mean 0 (lowest score) is best to 100 (worst outcome). A positive change (End of treatment to baseline) suggests improvements in functional well-being. Total score = (SUM-N)/(4\*N)\*100, where N is the number of questions answered.

Mean Change in Headache-EBR/GZR and SOF/LDV

Headache was evaluated by the HIT-6 score, a validated, Patient Reported Outcomes survey (PROs) 'PROMIS Headache Impact Test (HIT)' with scores ranging from 36 to 78 with higher score reflecting greater impact. Mean change in headache side effect was evaluated using difference between baseline value of HIT-6 score to the highest (worst) score during treatment. Estimates of mean change and differences obtained from a constrained longitudinal linear mixed-effects model that treated baseline score as one of outcomes. Negative values for mean change represent improvement, while negative values for 'difference' indicate LDV/SOF performed better than PrOD

Change in Functional Status (HCV-PRO) Within Treatment

HCV-PRO score, a validated PROMIS survey used to evaluate overall functioning and well-being in HCV patients, was utilized to compare long-term 'within treatment' changes of functional well-being. In general, lower score is worst outcome and higher scores indicate greater well-being and functioning. However, for ease of interpretation, HCV-PRO scale has been transformed by using '100 - HCV-PRO' ultimately revising the score to mean 0 (lowest score) is best to 100 (worst outcome). A positive estimate (Post treatment to baseline) suggests baseline functional well-being improvement. Total score = (SUM-N)/(4\*N)\*100, where N is the number of questions answered.

Time frame: Treatment start date up to 2 years post-treatment

Population: Analysis limited to patients who completed HCV-PRO assessments during post-treatment. For this safety analysis, regimen is based on treatment received versus treatment to which patient was randomized. Arms with and without RBV are combined in consideration that usage of RBV was decided by HCV provider and not part of study randomization.

Change in HCV-associated Symptoms (PROMIS Measures) After HCV Treatment Initiation

Change in HCV-associated symptoms was calculated as the mean differences of mean scores from multiple surveys from the NIH Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-- Fatigue, nausea, belly pain, sleep disturbance, and diarrhea) and functional status (well-being) when comparing baseline to early post-treatment and late post treatment surveys. Mean change scores were calculated by comparing baseline to early post-treatment (1 yr) and late post-treatment (approximately 3 years) surveys. T-scores for the PROMIS Nausea and Vomiting 4a scale range from 45.0 - 80.1. Higher scores indicate worse nausea. Negative values for mean change represent improvement.Negative numbers suggest better symptoms (improvement in HCV-associated symptoms). PROMIS Fatigue Score scale per question: 1=Never, 2=Rarely, 3=Sometimes, 4=Often, 5=Always with 7 questions for a total maximum score of 35.HCV-PRO positive estimates suggest baseline functional well-being improvement.

Time frame: 1 year post treatment discontinuation (Early post-tx)

Population: Analysis includes all patients who started treatment on either EBR/GZR or SOF/LDV regimen and is limited to patients who completed surveys. Analysis does not decipher between RBV usage given RBV usage was based on HCV provider selection and not study randomization

Impact of Baseline NS5A RASs on Treatment Outcomes-Phase 2

Number of participants who achieved SVR (sustained virologic response), defined as undetectable HCV RNA 12 weeks post-treatment with RASs (Resistant Associated Substitutions) after treatment with EBR/GZR or SOF/LDV regimen

Time frame: 12 weeks post HCV treatment

Population: Analysis is based on as assigned by randomization and patients with available RAS data. Exploratory RAS analysis is grouped by DAA regimen with or without RBV given 1)RBV usage was decided by HCV provider and not part of study randomization and small sample size (limited number of RAS in regimens with RBV)

Post-treatment Progression/Regression of Liver Disease-Fib-4

Mean change (delta) in FIB-4, an indirect non-invasive measure of liver fibrosis, calculated as baseline median -long term follow up median, following SVR after any of the study treatment regimens. Change in FIB-4 where negative values indicate improvement in liver fibrosis score and positive values indicate worsening of fibrosis score. There is no upper or lower limit for change. FIB-4 = age (years) \* AST(IU/L)/Platelets (10\^3/L) \* ALT\^.5(IU/L). In general, Score of 0-1.29 is low risk for advanced fibrosis, 1.30-1.67: intermediate risk for advanced liver fibrosis, \>2.67: high risk for advanced fibrosis.

Time frame: Baseline to up to 3 years post treatment discontinuation

Population: Population analyzed limited to cirrhotic patients who had two separate FIB-4 values collected as part of standard care and achieved SVR (defined as undetectable HCV 24 weeks post treatment). Given pragmatic trial design, availability of fibrosis markers is limited thereby restricting analysis (substantially limited sample size) to difference in fibrosis markers following SVR with any HCV treatment used in study.

Treatment Non-Adherence Probability Estimates

The Voils Medication Adherence Survey (VMAS) was used to evaluate medication adherence during HCV treatment. Participants responded to three questions about the extent of adherence during the past seven days of treatment (during early and late on-treatment occasions). Participants responded using a five-point ordinal scale of missed dosing from 1 (none of the time) to 5 (all of the time). On each occasion participants were coded as being Non-adherent if any response was \> 1, otherwise they were coded as Adherent. Probability estimates of percentage of patients reporting non-adherence were calculated per HCV treatment (Direct Acting Antiviral-DAA) regimen: 1)EBR/GZV (elbasvir/grazoprevir, 2)SOF/LDV (sofosbuvir/ledipasvir), 3)PrOD

Time frame: 12-16 weeks of HCV treatment

Population: Analysis is limited to participants to patients who started treatment prior to January 2017 (last day patient started on PrOD treatment)
