Abstract
Interferon-based treatment is not suitable for many patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection because of contraindications, other reasons for ineligibility and side-effects. The fixed dosed combination ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV / SOF) is the first approved regimen that doesn’t require administration with interferon or ribavirin. LDV / SOF is also the first single-pill approved for the treatment of chronic HCV genotype 1 in both treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients. The results of the phase III studies demonstrate the combination has been very well tolerated and SVR rates consistently above 90%. Objective of this review is to present clinical evidence of efficacy and safety of the combination LDV / SOF in different subgroups of patients with HCV.
