Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Pregnant female (as confirmed by an hCG test performed 4 weeks before Day 84) or breast-feeding female. 2. Relevant history or current condition that might interfere with drug absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion. 3. Inability to understand the nature and extent of the study and the procedures required. 4. Clinically relevant low hemoglobin concentration at screening judged by the patient’s own physician

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the bioequivalence of SOF/VEL as a crushed (test) tablet compared to a whole (reference) tablet in patients treated with SOF/VEL.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of crushed Epclusa tablets in patients. ;Primary end point(s): Geometric Mean Ratios and the 90% CI interval of the pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC0-tau, Cmax,ss and Ctrough) and median of t½ and tmax,ss of sofosbuvir, GS-331007 and velpatasvir of a crushed tablet (intervention) compared to a whole tablet (reference). AUC0-24 and Cmax,ss GMR with a 90% CI falling entirely within the range of 0.8 to 1.25 are considered bioequivalent. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Pharmacokinetic (PK) curves will be recorded for sofosbuvir and velpatasvir. The curve will be recorded after administration of a whole tablet and a crushed tablet.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): To evaluate the safety and tolerability of crushed SOF/VEL tablets in patients. Adverse events after administration of (crushed) SOF/VEL will be described and compared (including clinically relevant laboratory abnormalities). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Safety assessment on every study visit. Evaluation at the end of the trial.
