Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir + Ribavirin

Egyptian Liver Hospital · Phase 3 active Small molecule

Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir + Ribavirin is a Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) combination Small molecule drug developed by Egyptian Liver Hospital. It is currently in Phase 3 development for Chronic hepatitis C virus infection (genotype-dependent, likely genotypes 1-6), Treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced HCV patients.

This combination inhibits hepatitis C virus replication by blocking the NS5B polymerase (sofosbuvir), NS5A protein (daclatasvir), and reducing viral load through ribavirin's direct antiviral activity.

Why this estimate
  • Baseline phase 3 → approval rate +58.3pp
    Industry-wide phase 3 drugs reach approval ~58.3% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • Anti-infectives pathway favourability +2.0pp
    Microbiological endpoints + non-inferiority designs raise approval rates above baseline.

Mechanism of action

Sofosbuvir is a nucleotide analog that inhibits the NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, essential for HCV replication. Daclatasvir is an NS5A inhibitor that blocks viral protein function and replication complex formation. Ribavirin is a nucleoside analog with broad antiviral activity that enhances the efficacy of the direct-acting antivirals and may boost immune response.
