A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the Combined Single Dose of Dactavira Plus Or Dactavira in Egyptian Adults With Chronic Genotype 4 HCV Infection
A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the Combined Single Dose of Dactavira Plus Or Dactavira in Egyptian Adults With Chronic Genotype 4 HCV Infection
A phase 3 Randomized, Open-Label, Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the combined
 single dose of Dactavira Plus (EPGCG, Sofosbuvir , Daclatasvir & Ribavirin) versus Sofosbuvir
 + Daclatasvir + Ribavirin (Part A) and a single dose of Dactavira (EPGCG, Sofosbuvir &
 Daclatasvir) versus Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir (Part B) in Egyptian Adults with Chronic
 Genotype 4 HCV Infection.
Study Design: Part A Randomized, open-label study in treatment naïve cirrhotic adults with
 chronic genotype 4 HCV infection.

 Treatment-naïve is defined as having never received treatment for HCV with any interferon
 (IFN), Ribavirin, or other approved or experimental HCV specific direct acting antivirals.

 It is planned that 28 subjects will be enrolled in the study such that an approximate even
 number of treatment naïve subjects will be enrolled across the 2 treatment arms:

 Arm 1 Single daily dose (2 Tablets) of Dactavira Plus each tablet contains (EPGCG 200 mg ,
 Sofosbuvir 200mg, Daclatasvir 30 mg, Ribavirin 400 mg) for 12 weeks.

 Arm 2 Daily dose including Sofosbuvir 400 mg , Daclatasvir 60 mg & Ribavirin 800 mg for 12
 weeks.

 Treatment assignments will be stratified according to the presence or absence of cirrhosis.

 Diagnosis and Main Eligibility Criteria: HCV RNA > 104 IU/mL or HCV RNA > LLOQ and did not
 achieve SVR 12 after completing prior treatment in this study with chronic genotype 4 HCV
 infection. Treatment-naïve adults, male and non pregnant/non-lactating female subjects, ages
 18 years or older.

 Study Procedures/

 Frequency: Study visits for all subjects will occur at screening, Baseline/Day 1.
 On-treatment visits will occur as follows:

 -  Part A, Arm 1 and 2 - at the end of Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12.

 -  All subjects will complete a 4-Week Post-treatment visit regardless of treatment
 duration. Subjects with HCV RNA < LLOQ will continue to 12 Week Post treatment visits
 unless confirmed viral relapse occurs at which time subjects will be early terminated
 from the study.

 Screening assessments include safety laboratory tests (chemistry, hematology, coagulation,
 and urinalysis), 12 lead ECG, HCV RNA, hemoglobin A1c, urine drug screen, liver imaging,
 serum B-hCG (for all female subjects of child-bearing potential), physical examination (with
 height and bodyweight), vital signs, medical history, concomitant medications, and adverse
 events.

 On-treatment assessments include safety laboratory tests (chemistry, hematology, and
 coagulation), HCV RNA, urine pregnancy tests (for all female subjects of child-bearing
 potential), physical examination, vital signs, concomitant medications, and adverse events.

 Post-treatment assessments include HCV RNA, urine pregnancy tests (for all female subjects of
 child-bearing potential), vital signs, concomitant medications, and adverse events.

 Criteria for Evaluation:

 Safety: Adverse events will be collected from baseline through the 4 Week Post-Treatment
 Visit and AEs related to study procedures, will be collected from when subjects sign the
 consent form. Clinical laboratory tests will be performed during treatment through the 12
 Week Post-Treatment Visit.

 Efficacy: Efficacy will be evaluated using scheduled assessments of HCV RNA performed using
 Gene Xpert HCV Test.

 Statistical Methods: The primary efficacy endpoint is SVR12 (ie, HCV RNA < LLOQ 12 weeks
 post-treatment) in all subjects who are randomized and treated. No statistical hypothesis
 testing will be performed. For each of the two treatment groups, a 2-sided 95% confidence
 interval using the exact binomial distribution will be constructed.

 All continuous endpoints will be summarized using an 8 number summary (n, mean, standard
 deviation, median, Q1, Q3, minimum, maximum) by treatment duration. All categorical endpoints
 will be summarized by number and percentage of subjects who meet the endpoint definition.

 Safety endpoints will be analyzed by the number and percent of subjects with events or
 abnormalities for categorical values or using an 8 number summary (n, mean, standard
 deviation, median, Q1, Q3, minimum, maximum) for continuous data by treatment group.

 This study will be conducted in accordance with the guidelines of Good Clinical Practices
 (GCPs) including archiving of essential documents.

 Study Design: Part B

 HCV infection.

 (IFN), Ribavirin, or other approved or experimental HCV specific direct acting antivirals.
