Hepatitis C Virus Infection
Conditions
Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (Epclusa®; SOF/VEL) with ribavirin (RBV) for 24 weeks in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who participated in a prior Gilead sponsored study and did not achieve sustained virologic response (SVR).
Interventions
Tablet (s) administered orally in a divided daily dose according to package insert weight-based dosing recommendations (\< 75 kg = 1000 mg and ≥ 75 kg = 1200 mg)
400/100 mg FDC tablet administered orally once daily
