Description
Velpanat is a combination of velpatasvir & sofosbuvir. Sofosbuvir is a nucleotide analog NS5B polymerase inhibitor and Velpatasvir is an NS5A replication complex inhibitor. Sofosbuvir is used in the treatment of genotype 1, 2, 3, and 4 HCV infection with different medicines, wherein duration depends on the HCV genotype. Velpatasvir is a novel NS5A 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). The effect of Velpatasvir (Velpanat) 500 mg (five times the recommended dosage) was calculated in an active-controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg) thorough QT trial.
