Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To determine the antiviral efficacy of combination therapy with sofosbuvir (SOF) + ribavirin (RBV) for 48 weeks in compensated and decompensated subjects with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, as measured by sustained virologic response (SVR) 12 weeks after discontinuation of therapy (SVR12 defined as HCV RNA < the lower limit of quantitation [LLOQ] 12 weeks posttreatment).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The protocol and consent/assent forms were submitted by each investigator to a duly constituted Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) for review and approval before study initiation. All revisions to the consent/assent forms (if applicable) after initial IEC/IRB approval were submitted by the investigator to the IEC/IRB for review and approval before implementation in accordance with regulatory requirements. This study was conducted in accordance with recognized international scientific and ethical standards, including but not limited to the International Conference on Harmonization guideline for Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP) and the original principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: 4 subjects who were randomized to the Observation/SOF+RBV group discontinued study during the Observation period prior to receiving study drug and are not included in the Subject Disposition. Reasons for discontinuation were as follows: Subject Withdrew Consent (N = 1) and Investigator's Discretion (N = 3).

Data are presented as improvement, no change, or worsening in CPT scores at Week 24 (Observation) and Posttreatment Week 4 (SOF+RBV groups). Improvement in CPT score was defined as having a decrease in CPT score from baseline, no change in CPT score was defined as having no change in CPT score from baseline, and worsening in CPT score was defined as having an increase in CPT score from baseline.
