A Phase IV Trial of Paritaprevir/Ritonavir, Ombitasvir, Dasabuvir for Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 1 Virus Infection — D3FEAT  

Hepatitis C, Chronic Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase IV Open-label, Multicentre, International Trial of Paritaprevir/Ritonavir, Ombitasvir, Dasabuvir ±Ribavirin for Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1 Infection and Recent Injection Drug Use or Receiving Opioid Substitution Therapy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

A total of 100 people with chronic HCV and recent injection drug use or recipients of opioid substitution therapy will be enrolled in 5 countries and 21 study sites. Participants with genotype 1a infection or cirrhosis will receive 12 weeks of open-label paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir and dasabuvir ("3D"), and twice-daily ribavirin. Participants with genotype 1b infection without cirrhosis will receive 12 weeks of open-label "3D". The study consists of a screening phase (6 weeks), treatment phase (12 weeks) and follow-up phase (96 weeks) to evaluate treatment response and reinfection.

Clinical Trial Description

A total of 100 people with recent injection drug use or recipients of opioid substitution therapy will be enrolled from drug and alcohol clinics, tertiary liver and infectious diseases clinics and community health centres across Canada, Europe, New Zealand, France, and Australia. This will include at least 30 participants with F3/F4 liver disease. Participants will be considered recent injection drug users if they have used injection drugs in the 6 months prior to consent. Participants receiving stable opioid substitution therapy (stable dose for >2 weeks) will also be included. Patients with frequent drug use that is judged by the treating physician to compromise treatment safety will be excluded. The study drugs consisting of two tablets of the co-formulated paritepravir/ritonavir/ombitasvir (75/50/12.5 mg) once daily, one dasabuvir tablet (250 mg) twice daily, ribavirin (1000 mg) daily in two divided doses (genotype 1a only and/or cirrhosis). Electronic blister packs will be used to improve and monitor treatment adherence. This innovative strategy with the "3D" interferon-free regimen could considerably enhance the capacity to scale-up HCV treatment among PWID, and is therefore being evaluated in this phase IV study within a well-defined PWID population. ;
