Sofosbuvir is approved for the treatment of HCV, and has pangenotypic activity. The combination of Sofosbuvir and Simeprevir has been evaluated in phase 3 trials and in real-life in HCV patients infected by genotype 1.

The combination of Sofosbuvir and Simeprevir is approved in Europe for HCV-1 and -4 patients. However, efficacy data in HCV-4 patients are scarce. The aim is to pool existing data on this combination in HCV-4 patients."

Objective: To pool existing data from existing real-life existing cohorts and clinical trial (Osiris study)

Study design: analysis of data in HCV-4 patients coming from real life existing cohorts (Belgium, France, Saoudi Arabia, Italy, Qatar, Germany) and Osiris trial, with the aim to study the impact of fibrosis stage, use of  ribavirin and other predictive factors on SVR and safety

Participants: HCV-4 patients from real-life cohorts treated with Sofosbuvir + Simeprevir +/- ribavirine ( 85 GT4 patients from Belgium, 30 GT4 patients included in APROVVIE cohort, 12 ADVLIB cohort and REAL SIM SOF cohort from France, Abu Dhabi cohort, cohort from Dr Mangia in Italy, GT4 from Qatar HCV registry, GT4 patients included in SOF GER cohort from Germany) and Osiris trial (patients treated with 12 weeks). In those real-life cohorts, baseline demographics including patients demographics, disease severity data, fibrosis stage,  treatment characteristics (use of ribavirin and dose, duration of therapy) and viral characteristics (sub genotype, viral load), SVR 12 data and occurrence of SAEs are available

Main outcome measures: SVR 12, occurrence of SAEs

Statistical analysis: To compare SVR 12 between patients receiving or not ribavirin, between  F4 Fibrosis stage and non-F4 Fibrosis stage patients, and to identify other predictive factors of SVR12 by logistic regression such as ethnicity, GT4 subgenotype, disease severity parameters"
  ["project_brief_bg"]=>
  string(2329) "Chronic hepatitis C virus infection affects over 180 million individuals worldwide.  The risk of developing cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma as well as progression to liver failure remains a large global health burden. HCV exhibits great genetic diversity particularly among genotype 4, which accounts for 20% of all HCV cases worldwide. HCV genotype 4 infection is most prevalent in the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa, accounting for over half of all cases reported in Saudi Arabia and Syria as well as 90% of HCV infections in Egypt. Though this genotype was once largely isolated to these regions, with global migration it is now increasingly seen in parts of Europe.  The marked genetic variability of HCV genotype 4 infection includes 17 confirmed subtypes, with subtype 4a predominately seen in Egypt, while Saudi Arabia and parts of Europe have high rates of subtypes 4a, 4c, and 4d.

In the era of potent and well tolerated direct-acting antiviral agents, current treatment guidelines for HCV genotype 4 infection from the European Association for the Study of the Liver include several different direct-acting antiviral combinations, with or without ribavirin, for either 12 or 24 weeks. Though these available treatments provide high efficacy and improved safety over pegylated interferon/ribavirin, their use is based on a limited number of clinical trials with small sample sizes, particularly small numbers of patients with cirrhosis.

Simeprevir is a second generation DAA (NS3/4a inhibitor), with potent antiviral activity against genotype 1 and 4. Results from the RESTORE trial, evaluating Simeprevir in combination with Pegylated Interferon and ribavirin, has shown a high efficacy and a favorable tolerance profile in HCV-4 patients. Those results are comparable to those reported for genotype 1.

Sofosbuvir is a nucleotide polymerase inhibitor approved for the treatment of HCV, with a pangenotypic activity. The combination of Sofosbuvir and Simeprevir has been evaluated in phase 3 trials and in real-life in HCV patients infected by genotype 1.

The combination of Sofosbuvir and Simeprevir is approved in Europe for HCV-1 and HCV-4 patients. However, efficacy data in HCV-4 patients are scarce and no phase 3 clinical trial supporting this recommandation has been performed."

The study will study the effect of fibrosis stage and ribavirin use on SVR12, and will study predictive factors of SVR12 in HCV-4 patients."
