In Phase 1 of this study, consented patients were randomized to 1 of the following 3 HCV DAA treatments: 1) Harvoni® (SOF/LDV) 2) Viekira Pak™ (PrOD) 3) Zepatier™ (EBR/GZR) with the optional addition of Ribavirin (RBV) and the length of treatment determined by the individual provider.
In Phase 2 of this study, consented patients were randomized to 1 of 2 FDA approved HCV treatments: Harvoni® or Zepatier™. Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 subjects had up to 1 tablespoon of blood drawn for HCV resistance testing and future biorepository testing (following appropriate additional consent). The results of testing determined whether a genotype 1a subject randomized to Zepatier would be provided 12 or 16 wks of Zepatier.
Following enrollment/randomization, participants completed patient reported outcome questionnaires (PROs) via electronic device or telephone. Following baseline/randomization, participants were asked to complete surveys again at Wk 4 of treatment, End of Treatment, 1 and 3 year post treatment. Patients continued standard medical care throughout study. Data was abstracted from test results and medical records throughout treatment and for up to 3 years post treatment.
