Role of Pegylated Interferon in Combination With DAAs to Cure Hepatitis C As Soon As Possible - Hepatitis C [ASAP-C]
Summary
The primary objective of this pilot trial is to compare the efficacy, measured as sustained virologic response (SVR) at least 12 weeks after completion of therapy, across three study regimens/delivery modalities: Arm 1 - 4 weeks of sofosbuvir (SOF) + daclatasvir (DAC) + pegylated interferon alfa-2a (PEG) delivered using directly observed therapy (DOT); Arm 2 - 12 weeks of SOF+DAC delivered using DOT; and Arm 3 - 12 weeks of SOF+DAC delivered as per standard of care (monthly dispensation with no DOT). Secondary objectives are 1)To compare the cost per SVR for each of the three study arms; 2) To compare adherence among persons across the three study arms; 3) To evaluate the safety, tolerability and acceptability of treatment in the three arms.
