Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (Harvoni(A (R))), a fixed-dose combination tablet of an NS5A inhibitor ledipasvir and an NS5B polymerase inhibitor sofosbuvir, is approved in the US, European Union, Canada, and other regions for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection in adults. Following absorption, ledipasvir reaches maximum plasma concentrations (T (max)) 4-4.5 h post-dose and is eliminated with a terminal half-life (t (1/2)) of 47 h. Sofosbuvir undergoes intracellular activation to an active triphosphate GS-461203 (not detected in plasma) and ultimately to GS-331007, a predominant circulating metabolite, which is the primary analyte of interest in clinical pharmacology studies. Sofosbuvir is rapidly absorbed and eliminated from plasma (T (max): 0.8-1 h; t (1/2): 0.5 h). The peak plasma concentrations for GS-331007 are achieved between 3.5 and 4 h post-dose; the elimination t (1/2) for GS-331007 is 27 h. Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir exhibits a favorable clinical pharmacology profile; it can be administered once daily without regard to food and does not require dose modification in hepatitis C virus-infected patients with any degree of hepatic impairment or mild to moderate renal impairment. The pharmacokinetic profiles of ledipasvir, sofosbuvir, and GS-331007 (predominant circulating metabolite of sofosbuvir) are not significantly affected by demographic variables; pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analyses reveal no exposure-response relationships for efficacy or safety. The review summarizes the clinical pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analyses for ledipasvir/sofosbuvir.
