Second chance: new combo aims to clear hepatitis c after relapse
NCT ID NCT07565948
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 12-week course of three antiviral drugs (sofosbuvir, velpatasvir, and voxilaprevir) in 200 adults with chronic hepatitis C whose virus returned after previous treatment. The main goal is to see if the virus becomes undetectable 12 weeks after therapy ends. Researchers will also monitor liver function and side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir/Voxilaprevir (a combination of three antiviral drugs)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a reliable retreatment option for hepatitis C patients whose virus came back after initial therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage study with 200 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Some patients may not respond or may experience side effects.
