A Randomized Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Adding Daclatasvir to the Combination of Sofosbuvir (SOF) and Ribavirin (RBV) for 16 Weeks Versus 24 Weeks in Cirrhotic Subjects With Chronic Hepatitis C Infection Genotype 3
This is a randomized, open label, single center safety and efficacy study. At least 40
cirrhotic subjects with HCV genotype 3 will receive standard of care treatment of sofosbuvir
and ribavirin (SOF/RBV) as well as 60 mg daily of Daclatasvir (investigational product).
Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 to receive either:
- Group A: 16 weeks of DCV/SOF/RBV
- Group B: 24 weeks of DCV/SOF/RBV
Subjects will return to the study center at various time points throughout the 16 or 24 weeks
of treatment in addition to 12 weeks post taking last dose of study drug to monitor safety
and efficacy. These visits will be according to standard of care.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Signed, written, informed consent must be available from the subject before any
study-specific procedures are performed;
2. Male or female 18-75 years of age;
3. All of the following at least 6 months prior to screening visit:
- Documented HCV infection based on history of a positive serum anti-HCV antibody
test and/or detectable levels of HCV RNA >= 10,000 IU/mL, and
- Documented HCV genotype 3.
4. Subjects with evidence of cirrhosis defined by either a liver biopsy <= 3 years from
screening demonstrating a Metavir Fibrosis Score of F4 (or equivalent); OR Fibroscan®
<= 1 year from screening > 12.5 kPa. If a subject is evaluated by more than one
testing method, then the liver biopsy results take precedence;
5. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must:
- have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or
equivalent units of HCG) within 24 hours prior to the start of study drug.
- WOCBP must agree to follow instructions for method(s) of contraception for 7
months post-treatment completion.
- Men who are sexually active with WOCBP must agree to follow instructions for
method(s) of contraception for the following duration for 7 months post-treatment
completion.
- Investigators shall counsel WOCBP and male subjects who are sexually active with
WOCBP on the importance of pregnancy prevention and the implications of an
unexpected pregnancy Investigators shall advise WOCBP and male subjects who are
sexually active with WOCBP on the use of highly effective methods of
contraception. Highly effective methods of contraception have a failure rate of <
1% per year when used consistently and correctly.
6. At minimum the subject agrees to the use of two methods of contraception, with at
least one method being highly effective as listed below:
Highly Effective Methods of Contraception
- Male condoms with spermicide
- Hormonal methods of contraception including combined oral contraceptive pills, vaginal
ring, injectables, implants, and intrauterine devices (IUDs) such as Mirena® by male
subject's WOCBP partner. Female partners of male subjects participating in the study
may use hormone-based contraceptives as one of the acceptable methods of contraception
since they will not be receiving study drug. WOCBP cannot use hormonal contraception
as one of the two methods of contraception because there are no data on the
effectiveness of systemic hormonal contraceptives in women taking SOF. However, WOCBP
can continue to use hormonal contraceptives, if necessary, in addition to 2 other
non-hormonal methods of contraception
- Nonhormonal IUDs, such as ParaGard®
- Tubal Ligation
- Vasectomy
- Complete Abstinence - defined as complete avoidance of heterosexual intercourse and is
an acceptable form of contraception for all study drugs. Subjects who choose complete
abstinence are not required to use a second method of contraception, but female
subjects must continue to have pregnancy tests. Acceptable alternate methods of highly
effective contraception must be discussed in the event that the subject chooses to
forego complete abstinence.
Less Effective Methods of Contraception
- Diaphragm with spermicide
- Cervical cap with spermicide
- Vaginal sponge
- Male condom without spermicide
- Progestin only pills
- Female condom; A male and female condom must not be used together
Azoospermic males, women who are not of childbearing potential and WOCBP who abstain from
heterosexual activity on a continuous basis, are exempt from contraceptive requirements.
However, WOCBP who abstain from heterosexual activity on a continuous basis must still
undergo pregnancy testing.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Subjects who lack capacity to consent for themselves;
2. HCV Genotypes other than GT-3 infection; mixed genotype infections are not permitted;
3. Liver histology consistent with any other co-existing cause of chronic liver disease

4. Body Mass Index > 40 at the Screening visit;
5. Any of the following within one month of screening:

- Decompensated liver disease, esophageal variceal bleeding, or a hepatic mass
lesion suspicious for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC);
