About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Hepatitis C focused on measuring HCV genotype 1 or 4, failure to DAA
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adult ≥18 years
- Infection with HCV genotype 1 or 4, confirmed by detectable HCV RNA at pre-inclusion
- Failure to a prior therapy with Sofosbuvir +/- Ribavirin associated with Simeprevir or Daclatasvir or Ledipasvir, with documented presence of NS5A or NS3/4A RAVs (Resistance Associated Variants) at the time of failure (presence of RAVs on at least one sample since the time of failure).
The proportion of patients previously treated with Simeprevir will be limited to a third of all patients included.

- Patients with Health insurance (Sécurité Sociale or Couverture Médicale Universelle)
Exclusion Criteria:

Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to estimate, in HCV genotype 1 or 4-infected patients who failed a prior DAA bitherapy with Sofosbuvir, the efficacy of a treatment with Grazoprevir/Elbasvir, Sofosbuvir and Ribavirin in the two treatment groups and compare the rate of sustained virological response (SVR) 12 weeks after 16 or 24 weeks of this treatment. SVR12 is defined as HCV RNA < LLOQ (either TD[u] or TND).
