Abstract
A head-to-head trial published in The Lancet has compared two antiviral combination regimens for treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The randomized controlled non-inferiority trial (ISRCTN, 61522291), conducted in two public hospitals in Vietnam, randomized adults (n = 624) with chronic HCV infection to receive 400 mg sofosbuvir and either 60 mg daclatasvir or 100 mg velpatasvir.
The primary outcome of sustained virological response occurred in 294 (97%) participants in the group receiving sofosbuvir and daclatasvir and 292 (95%) participants in the group receiving sofosbuvir and velpatasvir (risk difference 2.2%; 90% credible interval –0.2–4.8; within 5% non-inferiority margin). Therefore, sofosbuvir and daclatasvir was non-inferior to sofosbuvir and velpatasvir. Participants were also randomized to several different novel treatment strategies, which could help expand access to treatment.
