Frequently asked questions about ledipasvir/sofosbuvir

What is ledipasvir/sofosbuvir used for?

Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir is a small molecule antiviral combination studied for hepatitis C, including chronic hepatitis C, and for hepatitis B. It has been evaluated in chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 infection with decompensated cirrhosis and in hepatitis C during pregnancy, as well as in hepatitis B virus infection.

Who makes ledipasvir/sofosbuvir?

Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir is developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc., which trades under the ticker GILD. Gilead is the sponsor behind the clinical studies of the combination in hepatitis B and hepatitis C, including the Phase 2 hepatitis B trial and the Phase 3 decompensated cirrhosis trial.

What phase is ledipasvir/sofosbuvir in?

Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir has been studied across Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 clinical trials, and all of those trials are now completed. The Phase 2 study evaluated the combination in hepatitis B virus infection, while a Phase 3 study evaluated it in chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 with decompensated cirrhosis.

What clinical trials is ledipasvir/sofosbuvir in?

Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir has been tested in completed trials including NCT03312023, a Phase 2 study in hepatitis B virus infection with 21 participants in the United States, NCT02683005, a Phase 1 study of hepatitis C treatment during pregnancy, and NCT02597166, a Phase 3 study in chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 with decompensated cirrhosis in Canada.

Is ledipasvir/sofosbuvir the same as Harvoni?

Yes. Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir is also known as ledipasvir 90 MG / sofosbuvir 400 MG oral tablet, which is the fixed-dose combination marketed under the name Harvoni. The alternative written form ledipasvir/ sofosbuvir refers to the same combination product.

How many patients were enrolled in ledipasvir/sofosbuvir trials?

The ledipasvir/sofosbuvir trials listed enrolled small numbers of participants. The Phase 2 hepatitis B study enrolled 21 patients, the Phase 1 pregnancy study enrolled 9 patients, and the Phase 3 decompensated cirrhosis study enrolled 14 patients, for a total of 44 participants across the three completed studies.
