Participant Flow

Participants were self referred after discussion with their physicians, enrolled sequentially over a two year period (2016-2018)

Long recruitment, with part of the problem of finding patients not already on antivirals. The original protocol was for Harvoni, which had been specifically licensed for Hepatitis C Virus genotype 1. Protocol was modified after discussion with Gilead with the licensing of Epclusa, which is active for other genotypes, specifically to be able to include two patients with genotype 2 thus enabling the study to reach full enrollment. Study objective is not to compare medications.

Participants with Symptomatic Hepatitis C Virus Infection-Related Cryoglobulinemia who were treated with antivirals. Antivirals were either Harvoni or Epclusa. Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir (Harvoni) 90mg/400 mg FDC once daily for 12 weeks (naïve subjects, non-cirrhotic treatment experienced subjects) or 24 weeks (treatment experienced subjects with compensated cirrhosis) for genotype 1 . Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir (Epclusa) 400mg/100mg 400mg/100mg FDC once daily for 12 weeks (naïve subjects, non-cirrhotic treatment experienced or treatment experienced subjects with compensated cirrhosis) for genotype 1-6 subjects.
