3 Sofosbuvir and Ledipasvir Sofosbuvir Once-daily, oral, 400-mg NS5B inhibitor SOF nucleotide polymerase inhibitor Ledipasvir Once-daily, oral, 90-mg NS5A inhibitor LDV NS5A inhibitor Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir FDC Once-daily, oral, FDC (90/400 mg) tablet Single-tablet regimen for hepatitis C FDC, fixed-dose combination. LDV NS5A inhibitor LDV NS5A inhibitor SOF SOF SOF nucleotide nucleotide polymerase SOF polymerase inhibitor nucleotide inhibitor polymerase inhibitor

4 Background and Objectives Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) for 8 weeks resulted in 94% SVR12 rate in treatment-naïve (TN) patients without cirrhosis with HCV genotype (GT) 1 in the phase 3 study ION-3 1 LDV/SOF for 12 weeks resulted in 96% (321/335) SVR12 rate in patients with HCV/HIV coinfection with HCV GT 1 or 4 2 LDV/SOF + ribavirin (RBV) for 12 weeks resulted in 98% (44/45) SVR12 rate in patients with GT 1 HCV who had failed treatment with SOF + RBV ± pegylated interferon 3 The objectives of the current study were to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 8 weeks of LDV/SOF in treatment naïve (TN) patients 12 weeks LDV/SOF + RBV in patients with virologic failure following treatment with SOF + RBV 1.

15 Conclusions LDV/SOF ± RBV resulted in rapid suppression of HCV RNA LDV/SOF ± RBV was well tolerated with low rates of adverse events Safety profile when co-administered with RBV is consistent with a ribavirin-containing regimen These data support the regimen of LDV/SOF for 8 weeks in treatment naïve, non-cirrhotic patients with chronic HCV infection including those with HIV coinfection LDV/SOF + RBV for 12 weeks may be a useful option for those who have failed prior HCV treatment with a sofosbuvir-based regimen 15
