   Details of Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir

Name of trial Phase IIb Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Sofosbuvir/Daclatasvir (sof/dcv) with or without Nitazoxanide or Favipiravir with Bromhexine in Combination with Standard of Care in Adult Patients with Moderate COVID-19 at Risk of Complications.
CSIR lab/s involved Industry Sponsor/s & Scientific Collaborator/s Clinical Trial Site/s

 

Mylan Laboratories Limited.
CSIR (Knowledge partner)
COVID-19 Treatment Centers or Hospitals
Type of Drug Sofosbuvir- Ant-Viral (HCV polymerase inhibitor) and Daclatasvir- Anti-viral (NS5A replication complex inhibitor)
Nitazoxanide- Anti-protozoal (pyruvate: ferredoxin/flavodoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR) cycle inhibitor)
Favipiravir- Anti Viral (RNA polymerase inhibitor)
Bromhexine- Mucolytic agent
IP Status of Drug/s Sofosbuvir and Daclatasvir- Approved for HCV treatment
Nitazoxanide- Approved for treatment of diarrhea
Favipiravir- Approved for treatment of viral influenza
Bromhexine- Approved as Expectorant and mucolytic
Yet to be approved in COVID-19 Indication
Mechanism of Action & Scientific rationale for Covid-19 Sofosbuvir is RNA polymerase inhibitor (inhibits replication) have high barrier for resistance. Daclatasvir-inhibits both viral RNA replication and virionassembly
Nitazoxanide- Depletes ATP-sensitive intracellular Ca2 stores, causes Impairment of viral reproduction and spread
Favipiravir- inhibits RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of RNA viruses (but not cellular RNA and DNA synthesis) and shows broad-spectrum antiviral activity against RNA viruses.
Bromhexine-selectively inhibits TMPRSS2 stopping the virus entry in host cell.
Combinations therapy or monotherapy Sofosbuvir/Daclatasvir (combination)
Sofosbuvir/Daclatasvir + Nitazoxanide (combination)
Favipiravir+ Bromhexine (combination)
