This combination of Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir is known to be the first once-daily single-tablet treatment with pangenotypic activity.

Pharmacodynamics

Velpanat is a combination of velpatasvir & sofosbuvir. Sofosbuvir is a nucleotide analog NS5B polymerase inhibitor and Velpatasvir is an NS5A replication complex inhibitor.

It has potent in vitro anti-HCV activity across all genotypes at the picomolar level. The effect of Sofosbuvir (Velpanat) 400 mg (recommended dosage) and 1200 mg (three times the recommended dosage) on QTc interval was calculated in an active-controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg) thorough QT trial. Sofosbuvir (Velpanat) does not prolong QTc to any clinically relevant extent, at a dose (three times the recommended dose).
