Brief Summary  

AT-01B-008 is a randomized, controlled, open-label, phase 3 study to compare the efficacy of a fixed dose combination of bemnifosbuvir or ruzasvir after 8 weeks in those without cirrhosis or 12 weeks in those with compensated cirrhosis of once daily treatment versus standard of care sofosbuvir or velpatasvir FDC after 12 weeks of daily treatment in subjects with chronic HCV infection.  The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of bemnifosbuvir or ruzasvir as fixed dose combination administered for 8 or 12 weeks versus sofosbuvir or velpatasvir FDC administered for 12 weeks.

Approximately 880 subjects will be randomized 1 to 1 and stratified by cirrhosis and genotype in the main study.

There will be an optional PK sub-study conducted on approximately 50 subjects who receive bemnifosbuvir or ruzasvir and provide consent to participate.

Patients in India enrolled in the trial will be given the option to participate in the PK sub study.

An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board will review safety and efficacy data during the course of the study, as described in the DSMB charter, to evaluate continued benefit or risk of subjects enrolled in the study.
