ASTRAL-3 Study: SOF/VEL vs. SOF+RBV in Genotype 3 Randomisation
This study compares SOF/VEL versus SOF+RBV treatment in patients with genotype 3 chronic HCV infection. The objective is to achieve SVR12 with non-inferiority of SOF/VEL with a lower bound of 95% CI for difference of -10% and 94% power. Baseline characteristics, patient disposition, SVR12 rates, and outcomes by cirrhosis or treatment history are discussed.

ASTRAL-3 study: SOF/VEL vs SOF + RBV in genotype 3 Summary Rates of SVR12in every subgroup of patients with HCV genotype 3 were substantially higher among those who had received 12 weeks of SOF/VEL compared to 24 weeks of SOF + RBV, including patients with cirrhosis and previous treatment failure Overall SVR12of 95% with SOF/VEL for 12 weeks versus 80% with SOF + RBV for 24 weeks (p < 0.001) 91% SVR12rate in patients with cirrhosis Limitation : small number of black patients However, the rate of SVR12was 88% among patients who had NS5A RAVs at baseline and 97% among those who did not, with the lowest rate (84%) observed among patients with the Y93H variant at baseline SOF/VEL was well tolerated and, compared with SOF + RBV, lacked toxicities commonly associated with RBV For patients with HCV genotype 3 infection, SOF/VEL for 12 weeks represents an improvement over standard treatment with 24 weeks of SOF + RBV, with a simple and highly effective regimen, together with shorter duration of treatment and fewer side effects, owing to the removal of RBV from the regimen ASTRAL-3 Foster GR.
