Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Retrospective/Prospective, open-label study using sofosbuvir based DAA therapy to treat HIV/HCV coinfected pre or post liver transplant participants

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Approximately fifty HIV/HCV coinfected patients with decompensated liver disease will be enrolled in the study. Ten (up to twenty) subjects will be treated with FDC SOF/LDV pre or post liver transplant and followed prospectively. Forty + subjects will be enrolled retrospectively with the intent to capture all patients who have been exposed to sofosbuvir based DAA therapies at participating sites since 1/2014, and to mirror the population being enrolled prospectively.

In addition, participants in the retrospective arm will be contacted to consent to one prospective study visit for liver staging to determine rates of reversal of decompensation, reversal of cirrhosis and improvements in graft survival post treatment, and for future contact by the NIH Clinical Center to assess longer term outcomes when this study ends.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

The intent of the Retrospective Arm is to capture all HIV/HCV coinfected patients exposed to sofosbuvir based DAA therapy since 2014, to mirror the population enrolled in the Prospective Arm.

4. Have HIV-1 infection and either:

1. On HIV medications (antiretrovirals) for at least 4 weeks WITH

* An HIV viral load less than the level of detection OR
2. On no HIV medications for at least 8 weeks WITH:

* A CD4 count of 500 cells/mm3 or more OR
