Summary –Treatment with SOF/VEL for 12 or 24 weeks or SOF/VEL + RBV for 12 weeks resulted in high SVR 12 rates in HCV patients with decompensated cirrhosis caused by HCV of all genotypes –SOF/VEL + RBV resulted in the highest overall SVR 12 rates, with the lowest rates of virologic failure in HCV genotype 3 patients –Treatment was associated with improved MELD and CPT scores largely due to decreased bilirubin and improvement in synthetic function (albumin) –SOF/VEL for 12 or 24 weeks or SOF/VEL + RBV for 12 weeks was safe and well tolerated, with adverse events consistent with clinical sequelae of advanced liver disease and RBV toxicity –Limitations Study not powered to detect significant differences among the 3 treatment groups Only patients with moderate hepatic decompensation were enrolled The numbers of patients with HCV genotype 2, 4, or 6 were small Limited number of black patients Curry MP.
