- W3003489580 abstract "Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of shortened 8-week regimen of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LED/SOF) combination therapy in treatment-naïve children without cirrhosis aged 4-10 years of age with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Study design This observational single arm prospective study included 30 treatment-naïve children (20 males) with proved chronic HCV fulfilling inclusion criteria. Their body weights ranged from 17 to 26 kg. Four patients were excluded from the study. All the included children received a single oral dose of LED/SOF 45/200 mg for 8 weeks. Body weight, HCV-RNA, complete blood count, and liver function tests were monitored at 0, 2, 4, and 8 weeks and sustained virologic response was evaluated after 12 weeks after treatment (SVR12). The emergence of any side effects was also monitored. Results The most common risk factor (53.3%) was an parent or sibling with HCV infection. Twenty-nine patients (96.7%) were negative for HCV-RNA by week 2 of treatment and 1 patient became negative by week 4. The end of treatment response and SVR12 were 100%. Transaminases levels declined and returned to normal levels by week 2. Major side effects were fatigue in 90% (27/30) and headache in 76.7% (23/30). Side effects were minimal, tolerable, and did not interfere with daily activity or necessitate treatment discontinuation. Conclusions A shortened 8-week regimen of LED/SOF (45/200 mg) is safe and effective with 100% SVR12 in treatment-naïve children with cirrhosis aged 4-10 years with chronic HCV infection genotype 4.
