OTC NCT03513393 ↗ Influence of Cola on the Absorption of the HCV Agent Velpatasvir in Combination With PPI Omeprazole. Completed Radboud University Phase 1 2018-08-01 Epclusa® is a pan-genotypic, once-daily tablet for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection containing the NS5B- polymerase inhibitor sofosbuvir (SOF, nucleotide analogue) 400 mg and the NS5A inhibitor velpatasvir (VEL) 100 mg. Velpatasvir has pH dependent absorption. At higher pH the solubility of velpatasvir decreases. It has been shown that in subjects treated with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) such as omeprazole, the absorption of velpatasvir is reduced by 26-56%, depending on the dose of omeprazole, concomitant food intake, and timing/sequence of velpatasvir vs. omeprazole intake. As a result, concomitant intake of PPIs with velpatasvir is not recommended. For a number of reasons, the prohibition of PPI use with velpatasvir is a clinically relevant problem. First, PPI use is highly frequent in the HCV-infected subject population with prevalences reported up to 40%. Second, PPIs are available as over-the-counter medications and thus can be used by subjects without informing their physician. Third, although HCV therapy is generally well tolerated, gastro-intestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain and nausea are frequently reported, which my lead to PPI use. One solution of this problem could be the use of other acid-reducing agents such as H2-receptor antagonists or antacids. In general, they have a less pronounced effect on intragastric pH, and are considered less effective than PPIs by many patients and physicians. A second solution would be the choice of another HCV agent or combination that is not dependent on low gastric pH for its absorption such as daclatasvir. Daclatasvir, however, is not a pan-genotypic HCV agent and may be less effective against GT 2 and 3 infections than velpatasvir. Second, not all subjects have access to daclatasvir, depending on health insurance company or region where they live. A third solution, and the focus of this COPA study, is to add a glass of the acidic beverage cola at the time of velpatasvir administration in subjects concurrently treated with PPIs. This intervention has been shown to be effective for a number of drugs from other therapeutic classes who all have in common a reduced solubility (and thus reduced absorption) at higher intragastric pH, namely erlotinib, itraconazole, ketoconazole. The advantages of this approach are: (1) only a temporary decrease in gastric pH at the time of cola intake; the rest of the day the PPI will have its therapeutic effect (2) cola is available worldwide (3) the administration of cola can be done irrespective to the timing of PPI use.

NCT01441180 ↗ GS-7977 With Ribavirin for Hepatitis C (SPARE) Completed National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Phase 1/Phase 2 2011-09-01 Background: - GS-7977 is a new drug that is being developed to treat hepatitis C infection. It works by blocking the hepatitis C virus from dividing in the body. This medication has been used along with other medications commonly used to treat hepatitis C, such as interferon and ribavirin. When used with interferon and ribavirin, GS-7977 seems to be very effective in eliminating the hepatitis C virus from the body. However, interferon can have serious side effects, so researchers want to see if GS-7977 can work by itself or with only ribavirin. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of GS-7977 alone or given with ribavirin for hepatitis C infection. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have hepatitis C with liver disease, and have never received drugs for it. Design: - This study will require multiple clinic visits over 18 months. A liver biopsy will be required before the start of the study if participants have not had one within the past 3 years. - Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. - Participants will have either GS-7977 alone or GS-7977 with ribavirin. GS-7977 is taken by mouth once a day. Ribavirin is taken by mouth in the morning and evening. - Participants will have study visits on Days 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14. These visits will involve regular blood tests and symptom monitoring. - After the second week, participants will have study visits during Weeks 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 20. Blood and urine tests will be given to study virus levels in the body, and symptoms will be discussed. - Participants will stop receiving the study drugs at Week 24. - Followup clinic visits with blood tests will take place in Weeks 28, 36, 48, 52, 60, and 72. Another liver biopsy will be performed at 48 weeks. - Some participants may also be part of a smaller study. This study involves frequent blood draws to study drug and virus levels in the blood. The study will require a 36-hour hospital inpatient visit.

SOFOSBUVIR Market Analysis and Financial Projection

Sofosbuvir: A Revolutionary Drug in Hepatitis C Treatment

Introduction

Sofosbuvir, a direct-acting antiviral (DAA), has been a game-changer in the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection since its approval by the FDA in 2013. This article will delve into the clinical trials, market analysis, and projections for sofosbuvir, highlighting its efficacy, safety, and market impact.

Clinical Trials and Efficacy

STORM-C-1 Trial

One of the significant clinical trials involving sofosbuvir is the STORM-C-1 trial, conducted in Malaysia and Thailand. This trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of ravidasvir plus sofosbuvir in adults with chronic HCV infection, including those with HIV co-infection and previous interferon-based treatment. The results showed a sustained virological response at 12 weeks after treatment (SVR12) of 96.8% among 602 participants. This high cure rate was consistent across difficult-to-treat subgroups, including those with cirrhosis, genotype 3 infection, and HIV co-infection[1][3].

FDA Approval and Clinical Trials

Sofosbuvir, marketed as Sovaldi, was approved by the FDA in 2013 for the treatment of chronic HCV infection. Clinical trials leading to its approval demonstrated its effectiveness in treating multiple types of HCV without the need for co-administration of interferon. These trials involved 1,947 participants and showed that sofosbuvir significantly improved sustained virologic response rates compared to previous treatments[4].

Safety Profile

The safety profile of sofosbuvir has been a crucial aspect of its clinical trials. In the STORM-C-1 trial, the combination of ravidasvir and sofosbuvir was well tolerated, with only a few treatment-emergent adverse events related to the study treatment. There were no significant drug-drug interactions requiring the switching of anti-retroviral therapies, which is particularly important for patients with HIV co-infection[1][3].
