For patients who meet the eligibility criteria for sofosbuvir (Sovaldi), clinicians are encouraged to choose sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (Epclusa) as the preferred therapeutic option over sofosbuvir with ribavirin regimens for treatment of genotype 2 or 3 patients only. This recommendation is based on evidence that Epclusa offers advantages in some patient populations, including potentially higher SVR rates and a shorter course of therapy for genotype 3 infections. Treatment regimens for sofosbuvir (Sovaldi) for genotype 2: - Treatment-naive or treatment-experienced genotype 2 Approved regimen: 12 weeks in combination with ribavirin (Ibavyr) Retreatment is not funded.
