Brief summary
This study will evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed dose combination (FDC) plus ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-naive adults with chronic genotype 3 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
Interventions
90/400 mg FDC tablet administered orally once daily
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)
