The names of the new drugs are ledipasvir (LDV) and sofosbuvir (SOF), and they will replace pegylated-interferon alfa (PEG-IFN, a drug given as a weekly injection under the skin). The fixed-dose combination of LDV and SOF (LDV/SOF) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)...[Study participants] will receive 8 weeks of LDV/SOF..."
