The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) administered for 12 or 24 weeks in adults with genotype 1 or 4 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with sickle cell disease (SCD).

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR12)
SVR12 was defined as HCV RNA \< the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) 12 weeks following the last dose of study drug.
Time frame: Posttreatment Week 12
Percentage of Participants Who Permanently Discontinued Any Study Drug Due to an Adverse Event
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks
Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 4 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR4)
SVR4 was defined as HCV RNA \< the LLOQ 4 weeks following the last dose of study drug.
Time frame: Posttreatment Week 4
Percentage of Participants With HCV RNA < LLOQ on Treatment
Time frame: Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8,12, 16, 20, and 24
HCV RNA Change From Baseline
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks
Percentage of Participants With Virologic Failure
Virologic failure was defined as * On-treatment virologic failure * HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ after having previously had HCV RNA \< LLOQ, while on treatment, * \> 1 log10 IU/mL increase in HCV RNA from nadir while on treatment, HCV RNA persistently ≥ LLOQ through 8 weeks of treatment (ie nonresponse) * Relapse * HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ during the posttreatment period having achieved HCV RNA \< LLOQ at end of treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values or last available posttreatment measurement
Time frame: Up to Posttreatment Week 12
Change From Pretreatment Assessment in Health-related Quality of Life as Evaluated by Short Form (SF-36) Health Survey Scale- Physical Component Score
This platform is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
The SF-36 Health Survey is a self-reporting, multi-item scale measuring 8 health concepts: 1) physical functioning, 2) role limitations due to physical health problems, 3) bodily pain, 4) general health, 5) vitality (energy/fatigue), 6) social functioning, 7) role limitations due to emotional problems and 8) mental health (psychological distress and psychological well-being). The first 6 concepts constitute the physical component summary. The total score is an average of the individual question scores, which are scaled 0-100 with lower scores representing more disability and higher scores representing less disability.
Time frame: Weeks 4,12, 24, Posttreatment Weeks 4 and 12
Change From Pretreatment Assessment in Health-related Quality of Life as Evaluated by Short Form (SF-36) Health Survey Scale- Mental Component Score
The SF-36 Health Survey is a self-reporting, multi-item scale measuring 8 health concepts: 1) physical functioning, 2) role limitations due to physical health problems, 3) bodily pain, 4) general health, 5) vitality (energy/fatigue), 6) social functioning, 7) role limitations due to emotional problems and 8) mental health (psychological distress and psychological well-being). The last 5 concepts constitute the mental component summary. The total score is an average of the individual question scores, which are scaled 0-100 with lower score representing more disability and higher scores representing less disability.
Time frame: Weeks 4,12, 24, Posttreatment Weeks 4 and 12
Change From Pretreatment Assessment in Health-related Quality of Life as Evaluated by Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F)
The FACIT-Fatigue score was measured using a 40-item questionnaire that assesses self-reported fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and function. Participants scored each item on a 5-point scale from 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). The FACIT-F total score was calculated by taking the sum of all 40 individual scores and ranged from 0-160, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.
Time frame: Weeks 4,12, 24, Posttreatment Weeks 4 and 12
