A Retrospective/Prospective Cohort Study to Assess Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Sofosbuvir Based Direct Acting Antiviral (DAA) Therapy for Hepatitis C Treatment in HIV/HCV Coinfected Subjects Pre or Post Liver Transplant

Retrospective/Prospective, open-label study using sofosbuvir based DAA therapy to treat
HIV/HCV coinfected pre or post liver transplant participants

Approximately fifty HIV/HCV coinfected patients with decompensated liver disease will be
enrolled in the study. Ten (up to twenty) subjects will be treated with FDC SOF/LDV pre or
post liver transplant and followed prospectively. Forty + subjects will be enrolled
retrospectively with the intent to capture all patients who have been exposed to sofosbuvir
based DAA therapies at participating sites since 1/2014, and to mirror the population being
enrolled prospectively.

In addition, participants in the retrospective arm will be contacted to consent to one
prospective study visit for liver staging to determine rates of reversal of decompensation,
reversal of cirrhosis and improvements in graft survival post treatment, and for future
contact by the NIH Clinical Center to assess longer term outcomes when this study ends.

RETROSPECTIVE ARM INCLUSION CRITERIA

The intent of the Retrospective Arm is to capture all HIV/HCV coinfected patients exposed
to sofosbuvir based DAA therapy since 2014, to mirror the population enrolled in the
Prospective Arm.

PROSPECTIVE ARM INCLUSION/EXCLUSION CRITERIA

Pre-liver transplant candidates

- Enrollment will be targeted to occur at least 12 weeks prior to anticipated transplant
date.

- Screening laboratory MELD >=6 and <=20 (NIH) or <=30 (non-NIH sites)

Post-liver transplant recipients

- Recipients with evidence of recurrent HCV viremia

- Subjects with compensated and decompensated liver disease

- Screening laboratory MELD >=6 and <=20 (NIH) or <=30 (non-NIH sites)

- Life expectation of >12 weeks

Inclusion Criteria

1. Over 18 years of age at screening

2. Female participants of child bearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy
test at day 0 prior to dosing.

3. Has received a liver transplant for HCV or has decompensated cirrhosis (Child's Pugh
score of 7 or greater)

4. Have HIV-1 infection and either:

1. On HIV medications (antiretrovirals) for at least 4 weeks WITH

- An HIV viral load less than the level of detection OR

2. On no HIV medications for at least 8 weeks WITH:

- A CD4 count of 500 cells/mm3 or more OR

- HIV viral load of < 500 copies/mL with a stable CD4 count for at least 3
months

5. Chronic HCV infection as documented by at least one measurement of plasma HCV RNA >=
1,000 IU/mL during screening and at least one of the following:

A positive anti-HCV antibody, HCV RNA, or an HCV genotype test at least 12 months
prior to baseline (Day 0) visit together with positive HCV RNA test

6. HCV genotype 1, 4, 5 or 6

7. The use of an anti-HCV positive donor is allowed for participants who have detectable
HCV RNA at the time of transplant.

8. The use of an HIV+ donor is allowed if the participant is enrolled in an IRB approved
HOPE Act protocol at the transplant site. If the HIV+ donor is also HCV co-infected,
then the recipient must have detectable HCV RNA at the time of transplant.

9. Able to effectively communicate with the Investigator and other center personnel.

10. Willing to give written informed consent and comply with the study restrictions and
requirements.

11. Willingness to allow stored blood or tissue samples to be used in the future for
studying liver disease and immune function.

12. Willingness to permit HLA typing to be performed.

13. Have a transplant team available for all primary and transplant-related care.

14. If not yet transplanted: expected to be at least 12 weeks prior to transplant in order
to complete treatment course.

15. If not yet transplanted: Must have prior standard of care liver staging consistent
with F4.

16. If not yet transplanted: For pre-LT patients with HCC, they must meet Milan criteria
at time of enrollment to be eligible

17. If post-liver transplant, must be at least 1 month since transplant procedure to begin
treatment.

18. If post-liver transplant, liver disease staging must be documented within the prior
year by standard of care methods of liver staging

Exclusion Criteria

1. Positive HBsAg at screening.

2. History of any other clinically active chronic liver disease (e.g., hemochromatosis,
autoimmune hepatitis, Wilson's disease, >=1 antitrypsin deficiency, alcoholic liver
disease, and toxin exposures).

treatment, such as Milk thistle, St. Johns Wort or Cats Claw, within 28 days of start

date

opinion of the investigator makes the patient unsuitable for the study. Chronic
medical conditions, especially if treated with medications (such as hypertension),
must be stable at the time of screening. No new therapies should be started within 28
days prior to the study that may confound the assessment of study drug safety.
