Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital
Brief Summary

Primary Objective:

To evaluate the long-term outcomes including liver related morbidity, mortality and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development as compared to those of historical control with interferon(IFN)-based treatment.

Secondary Objective:

1. To access liver fibrosis progression/regression in CHC patients after sofosbuvir-based treatment.

2. To investigate the long-term outcomes of extrahepatic manifestations of the sofosbuvir-based treated cohort as compared to their pretreatment status.

Detailed Description

Primary Endpoint:

To evaluate the long-term event-free effect after sofosbuvir-based therapy, in terms of free of major liver events (including HCC, decompensation with ascites, variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, and liver-related mortality) in CHC patients.

Secondary Endpoints:

1. To evaluate hepatic fibrosis progression or regression in CHC patients after sofosbuvir-based therapy.

2. To evaluate the durability of sustained viral response (SVR) in patients achieving SVR after sofosbuvir-based therapy.

3. To evaluate long-term effect of sofosbuvir-based therapy on the extra-hepatic manifestations of the cohort. The items include mixed cryoglobulinemia, chronic kidney diseases, insulin resistance, diabetic status, cardiovascular events and dyslipidemia.

4. To evaluate long-term effect of sofosbuvir-based therapy on quality of life on the cohort.

Study Design Prospective, longitudinal observational study

Study procedure A total of 200 patients receiving sofosbuvir based direct antiviral agents (DAAs) in the parent studies will be included for following up to 5 years. Their serological, image study and disease status description will be prospectively documented to present the long term effects of sofosbuvir-based therapy.

The presentation of illness will be specified as:

1. Main hepatic complications as liver fibrosis, hepatic malignancy, liver decompensation with ascites, hepatic encephalopathy and variceal bleeding, and liver-related mortality.

2. Life quality, extrahepatic symptoms as cryoglobulinemia, diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, lipid profiles, renal insufficiency and other non-liver morbidities and malignancy.

IFN-based therapy historical controlsObservation onlyPatients who had ever participated the parent studies, GS-US-334-0115 or GS-US-337-0131, will be invited to participate the current study in outpatient clinic. For the patients who have participated study will be invited to participate the current study as matched historical control n our outpatient clinic,
Sofosbuvir-based therapy observational groupObservation only1. Patients ≥ 20 of years who had ever participated in parent studies, GS-US-337-0131 (NCT02021656) or GS-US-334-0115 (NCT02021643) 2. Patients who had received at least one dose of sofosbuvir-based therapy in the parent studies. Who IFN-based therapy historical controls, matched with sex, age, level of liver fibrosis and virological response: 1. Patients ≥ 20 of years who had received peginterferon plus ribavirin therapy with match of sex, age, level of liver fibrosis and virological response 2. Patients who have ever participated study will be collected as historical control.
