Purpose
This study will have 2 parts: Pharmacokinetics (PK) Lead-in Phase and the Treatment Phase.
The primary objective of the PK Lead-in Phase is to evaluate the steady state PK and confirm the dose of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) in pediatric participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
The primary objective of the Treatment Phase is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SOF/VEL for 12 weeks in pediatric participants with chronic HCV.

Sponsor: AIDS Clinical Trials Group
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02605304
Purpose
People who are infected with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) have a great chance of being cured of the infection when they are treated with sofosbuvir. However, in some instances, treatment with sofosbuvir-containing therapy does not work. It is not known if treating people with sofosbuvir again (retreatment) after it did not work the first time will work. There is an important need to understand retreatment options in those instances. This study is being done to see if two different regimens, ledipasvir with sofosbuvir and ribavirin for 12 weeks (Group A) and ledipasvir with sofosbuvir for 24 weeks (Group B) are well tolerated in HCV-infected persons where previous treatment with sofosbuvir failed. This study will also look at the safety of each regimen and how well the combination treatment of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir works in people who have cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) or HIV.

LIVE-C-Free: Early and Late Treatment of Hepatitis C With Sofosbuvir/Ledipasvir in Liver Transplant Recipients
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02631772
Purpose
The predominant remaining questions for post-transplant treatment of HCV in the DAA era are whether a ribavirin-free regimen is possible and whether pre-emptive treatment is now a potential option to prevent long-term damage to the allograft.

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02175758
Purpose
This study will have two parts as follows:
The PK Lead-in Phase of the study will evaluate the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) and confirm the dose of sofosbuvir (SOF) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected pediatric participants. The PK Lead-in Phase will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of 7 days of dosing of SOF+ribavirin (RBV) in HCV-infected pediatric participants.
The Treatment Phase will be initiated by age cohort after confirmation of age-appropriate SOF dosage levels. Participants from the PK Lead-in Phase will immediately rollover into the Treatment Phase with no interruption of study drug administration. The Treatment Phase will evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of SOF+RBV for 12 or 24 weeks in pediatric participants with genotype 2 or 3 HCV infection, respectively.

Safety and Efficacy of Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir Fixed Dose Combination +/-Ribavirin in Adolescents and Children With Chronic HCV-Infection
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02249182
Purpose
This study will have two parts as follows:
The PK Lead-in Phase of the study will evaluate the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) and confirm the dose of ledipasvir/sofobuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed dose combination (FDC) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected pediatric participants. The PK Lead-in Phase will also evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of 10 days of dosing of LDV/SOF FDC in HCV-infected pediatric participants.
The Treatment Phase will be initiated by age cohort after confirmation of age-appropriate LDV/SOF FDC dosage levels. Participants from the PK Lead-in Phase will immediately rollover into the Treatment Phase with no interruption of study drug administration.

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02786537
Purpose
Phase 1 of this study will compare the effectiveness of 3 approved HCV treatment regimens to learn whether they work equally well under real-world conditions. Phase 2 of this study will begin early 2017 and will compare the effectiveness of 2 FDA approved HCV treatments. Patients receiving HCV therapy in community and academic clinics will be offered the opportunity to consent to be randomly assigned to one of three regimens and then observed for outcomes. Once randomized, all medical care, laboratory testing, and any disease or side effect management will be assumed by usual care conditions, and patient-reported outcomes will be collected outside clinic in keeping with pragmatic design principles.

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03067129
Purpose
An open-label study to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and efficacy of glecaprevir (GLE)/pibrentasvir (PIB) in pediatric participants divided into 4 age groups: 3 to < 6, 6 to < 9, 9 to < 12, and 12 to < 18 years of age. Within each age group, some participants will be enrolled for intensive pharmacokinetics (IPK) to characterize the PK of a particular age group and the remainder of participants will be enrolled for the evaluation of safety and efficacy of each age group. Intensive PK sampling is designed to allow for dose adjustment, based on available PK and clinical data to achieve therapeutic exposures that have been safe and efficacious in adults.

Part 1 of the study will enroll participants into Cohort 1; Cohort 1 will include participants who are in 12 to < 18 years of age who can swallow the adult formulation of GLE/PIB. Part 2 of the study will enroll participants in the remaining age groups into Cohorts 2, 3, and 4; participants in these cohorts will receive the pediatric formulation of GLE/PIB. All participants will receive GLE/PIB for 8, 12, or 16 weeks depending on their hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype, cirrhosis, and prior treatment experience status.
