Brief summary

The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir (Vosevi®; SOF/VEL/VOX) fixed-dose combination (FDC) for 12 weeks and of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (Epclusa®; SOF/VEL) FDC for 12 weeks in direct-acting antiviral (DAA)-experienced adults with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with or without cirrhosis who have not received prior treatment with a regimen containing an inhibitor of the HCV NS5A protein.
