- Brief Summary
The purpose of this phase 3 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABT-493/ABT-530 in comparison to sofosbuvir plus ribavirin for 12 weeks in Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotype 2 (GT2) infected participants.
- Detailed Description
This was a randomized, open-label, active-control, multicenter study to evaluate efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of ABT-493/ABT-530 in chronic HCV GT2-infected direct-acting antiviral agent (DAA) treatment-naïve Japanese adult participants without cirrhosis. The participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to ABT-493/ABT-530 for 8 weeks (Arm A) and sofosbuvir plus ribavirin for 12 weeks (Arm B).
Recruitment & Eligibility
- Status
- COMPLETED
- Sex
- All
- Target Recruitment
- 136
-
Females were postmenopausal for at least 2 years prior to screening; surgically sterile or had a vasectomized partner; or, if of childbearing potential and sexually active with a male partner, were currently using at least 1 effective method of birth control at the time of Screening and agreed to practice 1 effective method of birth control from Screening through 30 days after stopping study drug. Sexually active males were surgically sterile or, if sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential, agreed to practice 1 effective form of birth control from Screening through 30 days after stopping study drug.
-
Screening central laboratory result indicating HCV GT-2 infection without co-infection of any other genotype.
-
Participant has positive anti-HCV antibody (Ab) and plasma HCV RNA viral load greater than or equal to 1000 IU/mL at Screening Visit.
-
Chronic HCV infection defined as one of the following:
- Positive for anti-HCV Ab and/or HCV RNA at least 6 months before Screening; or
- A liver biopsy consistent with chronic HCV infection.
-
Participant must be HCV treatment-naïve (i.e., patient has not received a single dose of any approved or investigational DAA) and non-cirrhotic. Prior HCV treatment using IFNs with or without ribavirin is acceptable. Previous HCV Interferon (IFN) based treatment must have been completed greater than or equal to 2 months prior to screening.
-
Females who were pregnant or planned to become pregnant, or breastfeeding or males whose partner was pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.
-
Recent (within 6 months prior to study drug administration) history of drug or alcohol abuse that could preclude adherence to the protocol in the opinion of the investigator.
-
Positive test result at Screening for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or anti human immunodeficiency virus antibody (HIV Ab).
-
Requirement for and inability to safely discontinue contraindicated medications or supplements at least 2 weeks or 10 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of any study drug.
-
Clinically significant abnormalities, other than HCV-infection, based upon the results of a medical history, physical examination, vital signs, laboratory profile, and a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) that make the participant an unsuitable candidate for this study in the opinion of the investigator, including, but not limited to:
- Uncontrolled diabetes as defined by a glycated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1C) level > 8.5% at the Screening Visit.
- Active or suspected malignancy or history of malignancy (other than basal cell skin cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ) in the past 5 years, or any history of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
- Uncontrolled cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, hematologic, neurologic, psychiatric, or other medical disease or disorder, which is unrelated to the existing HCV infection.
-
Any cause of liver disease other than chronic HCV-infection, including but not limited to the following:
- Hemochromatosis, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, Wilson's disease, autoimmune hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, or steatohepatitis considered to be the primary cause of the liver disease rather than concomitant/incidental with HCV infection.

- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description Arm B sofosbuvir (SOF) sofosbuvir (400 mg) QD co-administered with weight based ribavirin (RBV) 600-1000 mg divided twice daily (BID) for 12 weeks in HCV GT2 -infected, DAA treatment-naïve participants without cirrhosis. Arm B ribavirin (RBV) sofosbuvir (400 mg) QD co-administered with weight based ribavirin (RBV) 600-1000 mg divided twice daily (BID) for 12 weeks in HCV GT2 -infected, DAA treatment-naïve participants without cirrhosis. Arm A ABT-493/ABT-530 Co-formulated ABT-493/ABT-530 (300 mg/120 mg) administered once daily (QD) for 8 weeks in HCV genotype (GT) 2 -infected, DAA treatment-naïve participants without cirrhosis.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR12): Non-inferiority of Arm A to Arm B 12 weeks after the last actual dose of study drug SVR12 was defined as plasma hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) level less than the lower limit of quantification \[\<LLOQ\]) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug. The primary efficacy endpoint was non-inferiority of the ABT-493/ABT-530 8-week regimen (Arm A) to the sofosbuvir and ribavirin 12 week regimen (Arm B) in SVR12 using a non-inferiority margin of 10% in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants in Arm A With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR12) 12 weeks after the last actual dose of study drug SVR12 was defined as plasma hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) level less than the lower limit of quantification \[\<LLOQ\]) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
Percentage of Participants With With On-treatment Virologic Failure Treatment Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8 (end of treatment for arm A), and 12 (end of treatment for arm B) or premature discontinuation from treatment On-treatment virologic failure was defined as confirmed increase of \> 1 log(subscript)10(subscript) IU/mL above the lowest value post-baseline HCV RNA during treatment, confirmed HCV RNA ≥ 100 IU/mL after HCV RNA \< LLOQ during treatment, or HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ at end of treatment with at least 6 weeks of treatment. 95% CI was calculated using the Wilson score method.
Percentage of Participants With Post-Treatment Relapse From the end of treatment through 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug Post-treatment relapse was defined as confirmed HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ between the end of treatment and 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug among participants who completed treatment with HCV RNA levels \< LLOQ at the end of treatment, excluding participants who were been shown to be re-infected. 95% CI was calculated using the Wilson score method.
