Publishing their findings in Clinical Infectious Diseases, researchers analyzed data from 11 Phase III clinical trials including 3,004 people with HCV who were treated with Harvoni (ledipasvir/sofosbuvir) or Sovaldi (sofosbuvir) and achieved a sustained virologic response (an undetectable viral load) 12 weeks after completing therapy (SVR12, considered a cure).
