Brief Summary:
This is a study of the safety and effectiveness of the hepatitis C medications sofosbuvir and simeprevir in patients who have both the HIV and hepatitis C (HCV) viruses.
Detailed Description:
This is a research study of an investigational combination of two hepatitis C medications call sofosbuvir (SOF) and simeprevir (SMV). Both medications are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of hepatitis C in combination with other medications. The combination sofosbuvir and simeprevir has not been approved by the FDA and is being tested as an investigational combination in research studies such as this. The purpose of this study is to see if SOF + SMV given for 12 weeks is safe and able to clear the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) from subjects who are co-infected with HIV-1 and who have scarring of the liver (fibrosis of 3 or 4 on a scale of 0-4, with 4 as the most scarring, also known as cirrhosis).
This study is an investigator-initiated clinical trial sponsored by University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), with support and the study drug simeprevir provided by Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC.
