Most of these patients were older and had cardiac comorbidities precluding treatment with interferon (IFN) and/or ribavirin (RBV). This study was conducted to offer IFN- and RBV-free treatment to these patients. Methods: Patients were enrolled and received open-label treatment with the fixed-dose combination of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir 90 mg/400 mg (LDV/SOF) for 12 weeks. In addition to efficacy and safety, T cell responses by ELISPOT and viral sequencing were assessed during and following treatment.
