Brief Summary

New and recently EMA/FDA approved direct acting antiviral (DAA) combination therapies cure 95% or more of the patients chronically infected with HCV genotype 1 and 4. Grazoprevir (MK-5172) and elbasvir (MK-8742) combination therapy is such a, albeit not yet EMA/FDA approved combination DAA therapy. It is likely that the synergistic effect of the host's immune response and antiviral therapy when given during the first 6 months of HCV infection makes antiviral therapy during acute HCV infection more effective. In this study the investigators would like to document that treatment of acute HCV with grazoprevir (MK-5172), elbasvir (MK-8742) is effective and can ben shortened from 12 to 8 weeks for HCV genotype 1 and 4 infection without substantial loss in efficacy. Study design and intervention: Prospective open label interventional clinical trial in which 80 acute HCV genotype 1 or 4 patients co-infected with HIV will receive 8 weeks of grazoprevir and elbasvir (a once-daily combination tablet). Study population: 80 Adult HIV positive patients with an acute HCV genotype 1 or 4 infection from 10 HIV treatment centers in the Netherlands and Belgium will be included. Primary endpoint: Sustained viral response (SVR) 12 weeks after the end of therapy in ITT study population (=genotype 1 and 4).

Eligibility Criteria

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • HIV positive
  • Acute HCV genotype 1 or 4 infection (≤26 weeks old at the baseline visit)

You may not qualify if:

  • Not on cART and a CD4 \<500 at the time of screening
  • Patients on cART for \>6 months with a HIV viral load \>400 copies
  • Disallowed co-medication that cannot be stopped or replaced
  • Protease inhibitor based and NNRTI based cART regimens are not allowed. Therefore, the inability to switch to a HAART regimen consisting of 2 nucleoside/tide reverse transcriptase inhibitors and an allowed third agent which can be raltegravir (Isentress®) 400mg BID, dolutegravir (Tivicay) 50mg QD or rilpivirine 25mg QD.
