A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Active-Controlled Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of PSI-7977 and Ribavirin for 12 Weeks Compared to Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin for 24 Weeks in Treatment-Naïve Patients With Chronic Genotype 2 or 3 HCV Infection
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Sofosbuvir, PEG, and 1 other intervention for Hepatitis C. Completed, enrolled 527 participants across 97 sites in 8 countries.
Detailed Summary
This study was to assess the safety and efficacy of sofosbuvir (GS-7977; PSI-7977) in combination with ribavirin (RBV) administered for 12 weeks compared with pegylated interferon (PEG)/RBV administered for 24 weeks in treatment-naive patients with Hepatitis C (HCV) genotype 2 or 3. Efficacy was assessed by the rate of sustained viral response (SVR) 12 weeks after the discontinuation of therapy (SVR12). This was a non-inferiority study, and if non-inferiority was demonstrated, the study was then allowed to test for superiority.

Interventions
Sofosbuvir 400 mg (2 × 200 mg tablets) administered orally once daily
Pegylated interferon alfa-2a (PEG) 180 μg administered once weekly by subcutaneous injection
Ribavirin (RBV) administered as 200 mg tablets up to 1200 mg in a divided daily dose * Dose of sofosbuvir+RBV group based on baseline weight: \< 75kg = 1000 mg and ≥ 75 kg = 1200 mg * Dose of PEG+RBV group: 800 mg
