Eight Weeks of Elbasvir/Grazoprevir in the Treatment of HCV Genotype 4 — ELEGANT-4  

Hepatitis C, Chronic Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Efficacy of Elbasvir/Grazoprevir Fixed-Dose Combination for 8 Weeks in Treatment-Naïve, Non-Cirrhotic, HCV GT4-Infected Patients: A Single-Center, Single-Arm, Open-Label, Phase III Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a daily, fixed-dose, 8-week course combination of Elbasvir/Grazoprevir in treatment-naïve, non-cirrhotic patients who are mono-infected with hepatitis C, genotype 4.

Clinical Trial Description

The treatment of hepatitis C has gone through significant advances in the last few years with the development of direct-acting antivirals "DAAs." Since 2013, many DAAs have been approved for the treatment of HCV with excellent efficacy and safety profiles. The major hurdle in treating patients on a large scale is the high cost of the current treatment regimens. Multiple approaches have been proposed, among them, a shortened treatment regimen of 6 to 8 weeks rather than the standard 12-week-regimen. The strategy of shortening the treatment will help in reducing the cost by 33% to 50%. Thus, it will increase the availability of the treatment to more patients. Zepatier is a combination drug of Elbasvir (EBR), an NS5A inhibitor, and Grazoprevir (GZR), a potent NS3/4A inhibitor. This study is being proposed to address two main issues. First, collecting information on the safety and efficacy of a shortened course of zepatier (8 weeks instead of the standard 12 weeks) in patients who are treatment-naïve, non-cirrhotic and mono-infected with HCV. Second, to investigate whether this course provides similar clinical outcomes to the standard regimen in HCV-Genotype 4, which is the most common genotype in Saudi Arabia. ;
