Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an open, uncontrolled pilot study of thirty chronic HCV infected patients carried out at Yassin Abdel Ghaffar Charity Center for Liver Disease and Research. The aim of this study is to investigate the safety \& efficacy of combined therapy sofosbuvir (SOF) and daclatasvir (DCV) for treating HCV Genotype 4 in children aged 8 to 18. Due to previous positive results in other clinical studies of this drug it is expected that the drug will have high safety and high efficacy. Safety will be measured by checking for adverse effects, while efficacy will be measured by Real-Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) detecting viral nucleic acids in blood samples.
