Summary
Background:
- Present treatment for hepatitis C includes the use of a weekly injection and two different pills. This treatment is associated with serious side effects. Drugs that can be taken by mouth and cure HCV infection without serious side effects would be a great help to the large number of people infected with HCV. GS-7977 and GS-5885 are new medications being developed to treat the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. They are still being researched and are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. They are being developed as treatment for hepatitis C as a single pill taken once a day.
Objectives:
- To determine whether a combination of the two study drugs can safely and effectively treat HCV infection in people with HIV infection and who do not have cirrhosis of the liver.
Eligibility:
- Individuals who have HIV infection and have liver disease caused by infection with HCV.
Design:
* Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood samples will be collected. Urine samples will be collected from participants who might become pregnant. If a participant has not had a liver biopsy in the past 3 years, one will be required.
* Participants will take one pill daily for 12 weeks. This pill will be a combination of the two study drugs.
* Treatment will be monitored with frequent clinic visits and blood tests over a total of 60 weeks.
Eligibility Criteria
- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Eighteen years of age or older at screening.
- HCV treatment-naive, as defined as no prior exposure to any IFN, RBV, or other approved or experimental HCV-specific direct-acting antiviral agent.
- Participants must be willing to practice either:
- Abstinence from sexual intercourse or
- At least 2 forms of contraception including one barrier method from 2 weeks prior to Day 0 through 30 days after the last dose is received.
i. Female partners of male study subjects may rely upon hormonal contraception as one of the 2 methods; however female study subjects may not.
- Chronic hepatitis C infection defined as one of the following:
- Positive for anti-HCV antibody, HCV RNA, or an HCV genotype at least 6 months before screening, and positive for HCV RNA and anti-HCV antibody at the time of screening or
- Positive for anti-HCV antibody and HCV RNA at the time of screening with a liver biopsy consistent with chronic HCV infection (or a liver biopsy performed before enrollment with evidence of chronic hepatitis C disease, such as the presence of fibrosis).
- HIV treatment status:
- Documented HIV infection, ARV untreated for > 8 weeks preceding dosing and having either:
- a CD4 T-cell count greater than or equal to 500 cells/mm3 within 8 weeks of Day 0 or
- an HIV viral load less than 500 copies/mL with a stable CD4 count for at least 3 months.
- Documented HIV infection on a stable, protocol-approved, ARV regimen for greater than or equal to 8 weeks prior to dosing and is expected to continue the current ARV regimen through the end of study with all of the following:
- a CD4 T-cell count > 100 cells/mm3
- a documented plasma HIV-1 RNA level less than the level of detection for at least 8 weeks preceding dosing.
If the lower limit of detection of the local HIV-1 RNA assay is 10% at screening for known diabetics.
- Known hypersensitivity to, GS-5885, GS-7977, or formulation excipients.
- Pregnant/Breastfeeding women.
- Co-enrollment in other clinical trials is restricted, and requires approval of the Investigator.
Study staff should be notified of co-enrollment status.
- Need for use of the following medications from 21 days prior to the start of study drugs through the end of treatment:
- Hematologic stimulating agents (e.g. erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs); granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF); thrombopoietin (TPO) mimetics)
- Chronic systemic immunosuppressants including, but not limited to, corticosteroids (prednisone equivalent of > 10 mg/day for > 2 weeks), azathioprine, or monoclonal antibodies (e.g., infliximab)
- Investigational agents or devices for any indication
- Medications for disease conditions excluded from the protocol (e.g., active cancer, transplantation) are not listed under this Concomitant Medication section and are disallowed in the study.
- Concomitant use of certain medications or herbal/natural supplements per PI discretion expected to result in pharmacokinetic interactions resulting in increases or decreases in exposure of study drug(s) as listed in Table of this protocol.
