To achieve the goal of elimination of hepatitis C in 2030 as set forward by the world health organization (WHO) a main group requiring treatment are subjects co-infected with HIV. These subjects offer a particular challenge as they are receiving ART which frequently interferes with hepatitis treatment. The number of pills they are already taking also limits the compliance of these patients.~In order to evaluate the efficacy of a fixed-dose combination pill combined of 400 mg sofosbuvir and 30, 60, or 90 mg of daclatasvir - depending on the particular ART medicine being used by the patient - a multi-center study of 200 co-infected patients has been designed.~The treatment duration will be 12 weeks for subjects without cirrhosis and 24 weeks for those with cirrhosis.~The study is one of the pilots being run for hepatitis C elimination in Iran.
In a multi-center study 200 patients co-infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) will be treated with a fixed-dose combination pill combined of 400 mg sofosbuvir and 30, 60, or 90 mg of daclatasvir - depending on the particular antiretroviral treatment (ART) being used by the patient. The treatment duration will be 12 weeks for subjects without cirrhosis and 24 weeks for those with cirrhosis.
