Brief summary
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir (SOF; GS-7977) in combination with ribavirin (RBV) with or without pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN) in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who participated in a prior Gilead HCV study and have not achieved sustained virologic response (SVR).
Interventions
SOF 400 mg tablet administered orally once daily
RBV tablets administered orally in a divided daily dose according to package insert weight-based dosing recommendations (\< 75 kg = 1000 mg and ≥ 75 kg = 1200 mg)
Peg-IFN 180 μg administered once weekly by subcutaneous injection
