About

Phase II: Exploring the efficacy and safety of different doses of SH229 tablets combined with fixed-dose Daclatasvi dihydrochloride (DCV) tablets in the treatment of adult patients with chronic hepatitis C for 12 weeks, providing a basis for the design and implementation of phase III clinical trials.

Phase III: Confirmation of the efficacy and safety of SH229 tablets combined with Daclatasvi dihydrochloride (DCV) tablets in the treatment of adult patients with chronic hepatitis C for 12 weeks, providing a sufficient basis for drug registration and clinical use.

Full description

It is estimated that China has a population of over 10 million infected with HCV and also a highly variable HCV genotype geographic distribution. A simple, universal, non-genotype-specific treatment regimen is preferred for anti-HCV treatment in clinical practice and public health. The combination regimen of SH229 and DCV is expected to completely suppress HCV replication in subjects chronically infected with HCV and achieve a sustained virologic response.

Enrollment: 440 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Willing and able to provide written informed consent.

• Subjects should be able to follow the instructions for the study drug and be able to complete screening, on-treatment, and post treatment assessments.

• Body mass index ( BMI ) between 18 and 32 kg/m2 at Screening.

• Confirmation of chronic HCV infection, which meets one of the following: (a) positive for anti-HCV antibodies, HCV RNA or HCV genotyping results within ≤ 6 months of screening, or (b) liver biopsy ≤ 12 months of screening.

• Classification as treatment naïve or treatment experienced (approximately 20% of subjects may be treatment experienced):

  1. Treatment naïve is defined as having never been exposed to approved or experimental HCV-specific direct-acting antiviral agents ( DAA ) or prior treatment of HCV with interferon either with or without RBV.
  2. Treatment experienced is defined as prior treatment failure to a regimen containing IFN-based antiviral (INF-α, β or PEG-IFN ± ribavirin) and met one of the following: (i) Non-Responder: Subject did not achieve undetectable HCV RNA levels while ontreatment,, (ii) Relapse/Breakthrough: Subject achieved undetectable HCV RNA levels duringtreatment but did not achieve SVR, (iii) Terminate the treatment , according to associated-HCV therapy adverse events by subject reported or medical records demonstrated.

• Cirrhosis Determination (approximately 20% of subjects may have cirrhosis)：

  1. Cirrhosis is defined as any one of the following: (i) Fibroscan with a result of >12.5 kPa within ≤ 6 months of screening, (ii) Liver biopsy showing cirrhosis within ≤ 12 months of screening.
  2. Absence of cirrhosis is defined as any one of the following:(i) Fibroscan with a result of ≤ 12.5 kPa within ≤ 6 months of screening, (ii) Liver biopsy showing non-cirrhosis within ≤ 12 months of screening.

Exclusion criteria
