Indication
SOVALDI is a hepatitis C virus (HCV) nucleotide analog NS5B polymerase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) as a component of a combination antiviral treatment regimen.
•SOVALDI efficacy has been established in subjects with HCV genotype 1, 2, 3 or 4 infection, including those with hepatocellular carcinoma meeting Milan criteria (awaiting liver transplantation) and those with HCV/HIV-1 co-infection
Prescribing Considerations:
•Monotherapy of SOVALDI is not recommended.
•Treatment regimen and duration are dependent on both viral genotype and patient population.
•Treatment response varies based on baseline host and viral factors.
Important Safety Information
Contraindications
•SOVALDI combination treatment with ribavirin or with peginterferon alfa plus ribavirin is contraindicated in women who are pregnant or may become pregnant and men whose female partners are pregnant because of the risk for birth defects and fetal death associated with ribavirin. Contraindications to peginterferon alfa and ribavirin also apply to SOVALDI combination treatment. Refer to the prescribing information of peginterferon alfa and ribavirin for a list of their contraindications.
Warnings and Precautions
•Pregnancy: Use with Ribavirin or Peginterferon Alfa/Ribavirin: Ribavirin therapy should not be started unless a report of a negative pregnancy test has been obtained immediately prior to initiation of therapy. Female patients of childbearing potential and their male partners must use 2 forms of non-hormonal contraception during treatment and for at least 6 months after treatment has concluded. Routine monthly pregnancy tests must be performed during this time. Refer to the prescribing information for ribavirin.
•Use with Potent P-gp Inducers: Rifampin and St. John's wort should not be used with SOVALDI as they may significantly decrease sofosbuvir plasma concentration, reducing its therapeutic effect.
Adverse Reactions
Most common (≥20%, all grades) adverse reactions for:
•SOVALDI + peginterferon alfa + ribavirin combination therapy were fatigue, headache, nausea, insomnia, and anemia
•SOVALDI + ribavirin combination therapy were fatigue and headache
Drug interactions
•In addition to rifampin and St. John's wort, coadministration of SOVALDI is not recommended with carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifabutin, rifapentine, and tipranavir/ritonavir. Such coadministration is expected to decrease the concentration of sofosbuvir, reducing its therapeutic effect. 关于Sovaldi(sofosbuvir)
